Global climate model

The planet Earth orbits in such a way that it can cause an ice age. In order for this type of ice age to occur there would have to be many different things that must occur all at once. There is nothing the human civilization could possibly do about the orbit either to prevent the ice age. Milutin Milankovitch discovered the three orbital parameters that can cause an ice age if the conditions were all to align. Milankovitch’s three different orbital parameters include Earth’s eccentricity, axial…

During ten thousand B.C. at the Northern Hemisphere, an abrupt global climate change that led to glacial like weather occured. This period is known as Younger Dryas Climate Event. Due to the earth warming, the ice age starting melting. This huge amount of freshwater started flowing into the gulf through the Mississippi River and also to north Atlantic from the east coast. This unusual flow of freshwater into the saltwater caused the water currents to change suddenly causing different weather…

that global warming is slowly destroying our ozone layer more and more each year. Pollution is a very serious issue and a lot of people are not aware of the serious effects that global warming has on our world. There are many things that humans do every day, without even realizing it, that affect our atmosphere in negative ways. Greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide are emitted into the air in many different ways that all affect the universe in negative ways. One of the main causes of global…

Arctic amplification is expected to cause arctic warming through the year 2100. This warming corresponds to a trend of decreasing in sea ice area and extent through the end of the century. Despite this anticipated trend, inter-annual variability in arctic sea ice extent remains relatively unpredictable. The variables affecting sea ice growth include, but are not limited to, large-scale atmospheric circulation, local meteorology, and dynamical surface fluxes, thus the forcing on arctic sea ice is…

Climate Change Cause connected to Humans Extreme heat waves, devastating droughts, and resulting storms are examples of climate change cause now being connected to humans. According to a 2014 report from the United Nations (www.un.org), 75 percent of these heat events can be attributed to some sort of human activity. The United Nations report claims that there is only a five percent chance that the events of global warming seen in the last 65 years happened due to natural causes and that it is…

According to Edith Widder, “Our biggest challenges for the ocean and for the planet are problems of perception. People need to understand that species extinctions, habitat destruction, ocean acidification, and pollution are all chipping away at the resilience of the thin layer of life that sustains us on Spaceship Earth.” I will be discussing what ocean acidification is, how do the CO2 get into oceans, and what are biological impacts. Ocean Acidification is a reduction in ocean pH due to the…

Climate is reserved for regional patterns of temperature and precipitation that persist for decades and centuries.Global climate is maintained by the sun it keeps the earth's average temperature of 60°F. This is a good temperature to support plant life and maintain reservoirs of drinking water. Although the Global Climate is raising fast and this is causing global climate patterns to change, this is not the only reason. Global patterns may last for ten years like the periods in the ice ages ,or…

Man powered machines have been around for quite a long time starting from the 1400’s, however, the closer models of bikes that we see today didn’t come into play until around the 1870’s. Though the exact details of who the inventor of the bike was isn’t quite clear, we know that bikes originally started out as an expensive hobby and as mass production took place the bike became a possible mode of transportation (Palermo). In today’s modern age we can see people riding their bikes to work,…

considerable amount of blame is placed on global warming which is an “increase in the temperature of the lower atmosphere“; however, global warming has not garnered enough acceptance from some political officials and skeptics due to the term’s ambiguity (“global warming”). Global warming is often confused with climate change and although these terms sound alike…

Specific Purpose To inform individuals about the importance of climate change, how it affects each and everyone of us. Introduction Humans have made extreme modifications to the earth 's environment in little more than a century, making climate change a serious issue ( Taylor 1999) The source for the expansion of climate change is from human activity. It has been proven that there is a correlation between human activity and climate change. As the human population increases the demand for…
