As greenhouse gases increases and global temperature rises at an exponential rate, scientists inevitably raises their concerns all over the world. Unfortunately, there seems to be substantial evidence to suggest global warming will completely transform the world as we know it in an abhorrent way. Several concerning outcomes that’s expected from global warming are rising sea level, limited location for agricultural growth, and increased number…

According to the California Government Code a forest fire is a fire that is “burning uncontrolled on any lands partially or wholly covered by timber, brush, grass, grain, or other inflammable vegetation” (CA Codes). This is what California considers a forest fire and this is what I will be also be considering a forest fire throughout my paper. This past year here throughout California we experienced several forest fires. Forest fires are appearing more and more around us. It is affecting…

Deforestation is when forested land is destroyed and made into non-forested land used for waste space or urban use such as housing, factories, or room for cattle ranching. Other people may say that deforestation is important and has more pros than cons. “The Global Health Research Foundation” states “Additionally, deforestation creates grazing land for cattle, room for commercial, residential, and industrial development and lumber for furniture and construction. While not sustainable or good…

In the article, Global Warming’s Terrifying New Math, which could be found in the Rolling Stones Magazine, the author Bill Mckibben thoroughly outlines the most conventional political thinking about the issue Global Warming and Climate change that civilization and society has failed to resolve . However in order for this issue to be properly resolved, the ways of changing the methods of living and well being of society are going to be strongly impacted. First and foremost , Mckibeen uses three…

To those few, the following stand: global average temperatures have increased by 1.7 degrees Fahrenheit since 1880, nine of the ten warmest years on record have occurred since the year 2000, land ice is decreasing at a rate of 280.1 gigatons per year, and sea levels are rising at a rate of 3.4 mm per year. These are all significant signs of climate change on a global scale over a very short period. During the same period, carbon dioxide levels have…

Katelyne: Unit 1 Performance Task For many years and more to come, climbing Mount Everest has been such a great achievement for many climbers. Though, they may not always make it to the top, they are just happy that they got to witness the wonderful views and icy scenery. But, do they really? Are the views of the mountain breathtaking or garbage filled? To some climbers the scenery doesn’t matter, it just getting to the top that counts, but what about the mountain itself? As snow should always…

patterns that are usually found in one particular area and takes over hundreds or millions of years to occur. This critical global challenge known as climate change in caused by the increased levels of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, also know as global warming, and leads to the heating of the earth and an increase in the atmospheric temperature (dictionary.com). Global warming is what is causing heat, hurricanes,…

told me that I was the third person who came there because of bug bites that week. She said since last winter was warm, several injurious bugs were able to survive and turned out to be hidden dangers on campus. Although I have always believed that global warming is happening, that was the very first time I experienced the effect of it in person. However, in front of the evidence offered by renowned scholars from all over the world and more dramatic…

grows into small sheets that look like pancakes, and eventually merge together to form large ice floes which can span miles. As the ice forms, it expels the salt, which increases the density of the surrounding water and thus plays a critical role in global ocean circulation.” This means that the more dense the ice is, the less the molecules are going to move and since it will be probably less denser, there is a chance that whoever travels around the arctic will probably fall through the ice. In…

Global Warming: Global warming is the slow increase in temperatures caused by greenhouse gases. Global warming has many affects on the Rocky mountain national park. The average temperature rise is 3.4 degrees Fahrenheit per year. This creates new challenges to preserve the park because many of the organisms…
