Scientific opinion on climate change

The Earth’s climate has changed over the centuries, and is expected to continue to rise due to human activites. The burning of fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases that trap heat in the atmosphere, which creates a greenhouse effect and warms the climate. Since human population is increasing, more food is needed to sustain the large population. In return, agriculture adds to this effect because farms release methane. Trees and other plants are needed because they yet they take carbon dioxide in…

atmospheric research, climate change is proven to be a true, unnatural feedback caused by human activity. Due to the medias selective exposure of climate change information, specifically of the skeptic views of the topic, society has not grasped global warming as a current and vital issue. Additionally, the refusal to join climate protection programs by the United States government gave civilians no incentive to act on the issue. At this point, the public needs to make climate change a priority…

can be defined as a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth 's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect. This is caused by an increase in pollutants such as carbon dioxide and chlorofluorocarbons, and results in climate change, the melting of polar ice caps, and rising of sea levels. Our…

This is the reason why efforts to address climate change need international collaboration and agreement. However, solutions to international environmental problems such as ozone depletion, global warming, and acid rain may be hindered…

Introduction Climate change, we learn about this in school but is what we are learning helping us understand climate change. We need to understand how it is actually affecting us in a more real world examples. Most people don’t believe in climate change. Their needs to be data and information accessible for people to understand what climate change is and how to fix or slow down the problem. It affects us in many way we don’t think about. I can affect us in the economy, agriculture, plants and…

impossible to follow sustainable development in cities with millions people without “big cuts”. New York, which has nearly nine million inhabitants and major cultural, historical and financial resources, rapidly approaching the danger area of climate change. The organization for Economic Cooperation and development (OECD) ranked this city among the top ten in the world who are exposed to the highest risk because of rising sea levels and predict that by 2070 as much as 2.9 million people and…

With it being the presidential election season the talk of global warming, also known as climate change has come up in conversation more. But should it be associated with whether you are republican or democrat? Global warming should not be rather you “believe” in because it is a stated fact. Many individuals do not know the correct definition and what global warming should mean to them. The definition by the Oxford Dictionary declares that global warming is a gradual increase in the overall…

In conclusion, climate change impacts greatly on weather and human existence, the patterns of extreme atmospheric activities varies from place to place from region to regions. The impact of climate change on health includes the spread and reemergence of infectious diseases made possible by agents that spread infection like vectors e.g mosquito or pathogens, and disease transmission. The climate change phenomenon may have influenced the development, survival, reproduction, and virulent nature…

overall temperature of earth’s atmosphere, surface, and oceans. The main problem is that our average temperature is rising and is causing many environmental and social changes. Global warming is responsible for the melting of our polar ice caps; which causes ocean levels to rise, the destruction of natural and animal life, climate…

displacement of humans from coastal cities, extreme droughts, to super storms. All these problems arise from global climate change stemming from the emittance of greenhouse gases. Some people believe these climate changes are not affected by human behavior, and that changes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions do not need to happen. I believe we don’t have time to wait and see if global climate change is human caused, when we have species of animals going extinct and superstorms of various sorts…
