In recent years, researchers, governments, and scientists have been rapidly discussing the effects of global climate change and its accelerated environmental impacts on present and future generations. This information has led to joint international cooperation aimed at educating society as well as solving cultural barriers related to climate change. This action seeks to promote ethical and moral principles as solutions. However, it is important to understand that many international organizations…
species of penguins in almost every zoo across the United States. Most of the United States population knows what penguins are and a few of their characteristics, but what those people do not realize that this animal could be in danger because of climate change. Many believe that certain penguin species are in danger. Some individuals think that penguins have to live in colder environments but that is not true for all of the species. All penguins live south of the equator in the Southern…
Pioneer Living Conditions in Nineteenth Century Nebraska As depicted in “My Antonia,” many people of the Nebraskan frontier lived in sod houses. Most sod houses had dirt floors while others had wooden planks or carpet. Temperatures in these houses were comfortable year-round because the thick, soil and grass walls kept heat in during the winter and out during the summer.

Climate change is something that many people do not think about on a day to day basis, and for Americans climate change is a back burner topic that rarely is brought up in conversation. The lack of common knowledge by people is both negligent on their end and on the organizations that promote information on climate change. The largest problems with climate change are: lack of knowledge by individuals, lack of participation by governments to collaborate and share information, and the…
My research will examine climate change impacts on Kashechewan People. They have experienced frequent flooding in recent years. The number of floods is increasing at an alarming rate. They have been or warned to be evacuated four times in the last four years (CTV-News, 2015). The increased frequency and intensity of floods are linked to climate change. The ‘dramatic ice break-up’ events in the region are “potentially an important indicator of very recent changes in climate” (Ho et al., 2011).…
of the Paris Climate Accord because the view on america is bad enough, the earth is ill and creating jobs strengthens that illness, and the long term goal set by the Accord is much more important than some think. To begin, receding from the Paris Climate Accord shows a great sign of weakness and inability to commit, resulting in an even more rapid decrease in positive views from other nations on the United States, as even the U.S. could not agree to the first universally binding climate deal.…
The film Merchants of Doubt is a documentary from 2014 directed by Robert Kenner. It brings into light how industries that pollute and that would benefit from climate deniers hire so called experts to appear independently from their company and speak about climate change, toxins, and other controversial matters. This is not a film about climate change and how it is going to affect us, it isn’t a film on why smoking is bad or why chemicals like DDT should be banned; it is simply about the…
I moved to Yuba City, California approximately twelve years ago and have lived there ever since. I chose to analyze the climate trends of Yuba City because, even though I may move away soon after graduating college, it is where my parents will continue to live and I would like to have an idea of future climate changes in their city. Yuba City is a fairly small town in Sutter County with a population of 65,416 people (United States Census, 2013). It is located on the Feather River 45 miles north…
