fossil fuels. The “Sant Ocean Hall” Exhibit states that the Anthropocene is “a new geological epoch that started with the Industrial Revolution” (“Sant Ocean Hall”). Similarly, Steffen et al states that “what made industrialization central for the Earth System was the enormous expansion in the use of fossil fuels, first coal and then oil and gas as well" (Steffen et al 616). Both of these claims compare to be the same because they both claim that the Industrial Revolution is the start of the…

The climate is warming and will continue to rise under human influence. Signs of climate change are already being seen in today’s environment and the significance of these changes are accepted by most people, however there are still some people who choose to deny these facts. Global warming has the potential to dramatically disrupt some of life’s essential requirements for health, water air and food. In order to plan for climate change policies, and understanding of how Australians perceive…

Introduction A) Attention Getter: According to a report by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, our Earth’s average temperature has increased significantly by 1.4 degrees fahrenheit over the century and is projected to increase up to another 2 - 11.5 degrees fahrenheit in the upcoming decades. The changes in our climate may seem minimal now but as we progress further into the future, those small changes…

future. With the two previous statements in mind, how important is the environment to all the species that inhabit earth? The environment is an essential key to human’s population growth. Furthermore, all other species strive and survive from the natural resources that the environment provides. Therefore, the environment is a key product for all living organisms and species on planet earth.

day, while climate is more long term, and is the long term trend over hundreds to thousands of years. We are releasing tons of gases and dust particles into the earth 's atmosphere every day, and so the salient question becomes: What type of effect do these gases have on our atmosphere? Most climate scientists would agree that the earth 's climate is influenced by many different factors, but the most fundamental concept in climate science is that the incoming solar energy is balanced by the…

the severity of such changes. Various visible physical changes are evident over the last decade. Not only does the disasters strike more frequently and with more force, all three major global surface temperature reconstructions illustrate that the Earth has warmed vastly since 1880. The Department of Energy & Climate Change (2014) stated a 0.5°C increase in average temperature over the 1970s in their fifth assessment science report. Frankly, the majority of the warming began in the 1970s, with…
