Scientific opinion on climate change

Global warming, as one of the many facets of climate change is unequivocally the most pivotal climate, health, security and economic issue of the 21st century. The anthropogenic factors towards global warming are inextricable to the exponential increase in global mean temperature and its reciprocal effect on global climate systems (IPCC 2014; Keller et al. 2005; Rogelj et al. 2015a). Explicitly, international initiatives to maintain below a increase of 1.5˚C and far less than 2˚C above…

global no matter who is elected. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton’s views on environmental policies follow with their respective party. Trump is focused on creating jobs and doesn’t think that climate change is as big as a problem as something like ISIS. Clinton believes we need to work on climate change because it will affect generations to come if we don’t start working on fixing it now. Both are in favor of renewable energy, but will go about it differently. This election year has been rocky…

Climate Change How much does everyone really know about climate change and Global Warming? Or what it does to planet Earth? Due to climate change the Earth’s temperature has increases rapidly more than ever within the 20th century, the global temperature has increased from 0.6 to 1.0 Celsius (Conserve Energy Future, 2013). Climate change has affected the Earth in tremendous ways such as the changing the amount of gas in the atmosphere, melting polar ice caps, animals becoming extinct, etc. It is…

The International Panel on Climate Change has reported that global temperatures have increased up to 0.74C in the last century alone, meaning that the earth has been warmer prior to this data. This has initially proposed the question on whether or not humans have played a substantial role in the warming of the earth or if such fluctuations have been natural occurrences over the last 11,000 years. As proposed by Crowley (2000), climate change cannot be spoken of without anthropogenic cases,…

Saving Planet Earth: How We Started and How to Stop Global Warming I chose to write my final paper on climate change because I find this topic tremendously important. This topic is important to me because we are seeing major changes with the place we call home, and if we don’t stand up and take responsibility and start to fix these problems, we will have some major issues for the coming generations. We need to come together as one and fix this problem. It won’t be easy, but if we all work…

relationship with wildfires. The state has seen an increase in wildfires which some believe to be attributed to anthropogenic climate change. Climate change is expected to result in more variable weather patterns that are likely to lead to longer and more severe droughts (“Climate change”, 2016). Generally in late spring through autumn California has a dry, windy, and frequently hot climate. At times wildfires in California are stirred up from strong, dry winds called Diablo Winds in the north,…

suffering from global warming, climates are changing at a global, regional, and even local level. What human activities contribute to global warming? First of all, humans rely too heavily on fossil fuels which are used to fuel cars, heat our homes, even make medicines. The problem is that fossil fuels release huge amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and as I mentioned, carbon dioxide is an example of a…

this major issue being defined? To many people, global warming is defined as the steady rise of the Earth’s temperature from an excess of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere. To numberless others, global warming is simply that the climate change and carbon emission has nothing to do with it. While this last definition seems to be the easiest due to being less scary and not having to deal with the problem, it does not mean it is correct. As difficult as it maybe to accept the truth,…

Crop simulation model is an effective tools in understanding climate change effects on agricultural production systems (Masutomi et al. 2009; White et al. 2011). The modeling studies from Bangladesh (Karim et al. 1996), Japan (Horie et al. 2000), China (Shen et al. 2010), Korea (Lee et al. 2012) and India (Krishnan et al. 2007) reported the country-specific discrepancies in future rice yield due to climate warming; the highest decrease in rice yield will probably occur in most areas of low…
