Humans are killing the planet they live on. There are many problems that the Earth faces, whether it is in the way of natural disasters, crimes, and most definitely global warming. Global warming is something that some people do not like to believe in, or rather avoid. Yet, the effects of global warming cannot help but be more obvious. Global warming is not a problem that appeared over night, but an enigma that has been induced throughout the years by not only a group of people, but by almost…
consideration of future consequences. As society focal point is on celebrities and fashion, the focus on the destruction of the environment is not being acknowledged. The sprawl leaves behind everlasting effects not only to the physical earth, but the human body as well. Without taking into analysis what this construction is doing to people and the environment, there will not be many people left to enjoy the development. As the increase…
The Climate Change Crisis Global warming is a rising issue around the world that needs to be addressed. There are multiple things that we can do to end global warming or to dampen the amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases being released into the atmosphere. We can come together as a community to promote eco-friendly energy sources or change small things in our homes to save energy individually. In my community, a small and fairly wealthy town, it has been apparent that people…
"By 2050, one-third of the world 's energy will need to come from solar, wind, and other renewable resources"(Alternate Energy). As time goes by coal, oil, natural gas depletes which will cause economic and social problems.Oil causes harm to the atmosphere by polluting everything around it and to solve this problem scientists are working to build sustainable energy sources such as solar panels. Given unlimited resources researchers could investigate and find an alternative to power the planet…
Abstract Global climate change has become one of the most important issues and one of the most highly debated ones of the 21st Century. The scientific community has largely reached an agreement concerning the responsibility of human action for the increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and the accompanying changes in the atmosphere, oceans, and on land. Environmental policymakers at the United Nations and from the member countries are working to formulate a plan to combat the progress of…
affects the earth’s environment and contributes to global warming by creating fossil fuels, carbon emissions, water and air pollution. A way that people can stop a percentage of global warming is to reduce the animal cruelty that comes with the factory farming industry.…
In order to understand the effects that Global Climate Change has had on weather we need to first understand the difference between weather and climate. Weather is what is happening in the atmosphere, on a given day and location. Examples of such include temperature, wind, and precipitation. On the other hand, climate is more of a broad, generalized condition that covers a region during a longer period of time. Examples of such include warm, cold, wet and dry. In the past decade, with only a…
change is understood to be most serious natural phenomenon facing most countries in the world. It can defined as change in global or regional climate patterns and attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels. There are multiple causes which are considered the main element in this phenomenon occurring such as human activities . Gaining an insight through research and observation of among overseas students opinions and attitudes…
history. Most of the time, these climate changes are attributed to small variations in Earth’s orbit, which in turn change the amount of solar energy reflected onto the planet. However, according to NASA, the current warming trend is so significant because “most of it is very likely human-induced and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented in the past 1,300 years.” And research from NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies shows that every month in 2016 has been substantially warmer than…
position of the Chinese government on the matter throughout the years. China has ratified the Kyoto Protocol; nevertheless the country was exempt from committing to an emissions target reduction since China was not one of the main contributors to global warming during the period of industrialization that is believed to be the cause of climate change (Feldon, 2007: 60). Statistics taken from The Statistics Portal, show that China is the current greatest emitter of carbon dioxide into the…
