The Earth has had multiple climate changes during its lifetime. From the extreme cold during the ice age to our weather as of modern day. During the lifespan of our Earth, temperatures have fluctuated from warmer to colder, changing back and forth. However, the Earth is currently on a course of global warming. Scientist, politicians, and the general public may agree that the Earth’s average temperature is increasing, but there is a disagreement on if the occurrence is natural or as a result of…

The Global Impact of Climate Change Psalm 95:5 states, “The sea is His, for He made it, and His hands formed the dry land.” (English Standard Version Bible, Psalm. 95.5). In this quote, the author David exhibits the importance of the earth, one that God himself has made, both land and sea. Such a gift should be treasured and nurtured, but most people do not know how the earth is being impacted by climate change, or most importantly how we can prevent its effects from escalating any further.…

ESS 102 Writing Project There it was, the Pale Blue dot. A term coined by Carl Sagan which pleasantly haunted me through my years of astronaut training. It was not Mr. Sagan’s description of our little planet which ignited my interest in space and space travel. Rather, the insistence of those close to me that the feat of witnessing the Pale Blue dot was impossible for me. Yet here I floated, on what many call the greatest coordination of countries effort, knowledge and resources, and what…

In this paper I will discuss hoe the character Jo from Chapter 1 of Philip Kitcher and Evelyn Fox Keller’s “The Seasons Alter”, develops two broad types of evidential support for human-induced climate change. Her two claims include: build on what you know and consider the alternatives. I will accuracy present how these two types of evidential support for human-induced climate change (build on what you know and consider the alternatives), support the claim that human activities are contributing…

Archaeology studies all our human history interpreted through the objects left behind within the past. Most of our human history has been without written language and archaeology looks at other objects made to discover how life was like for past peoples. There are many facets to archaeology and countless variables that must be considered when interpreting some artifacts use or meaning. This means that archaeology isn’t what people see as some dusty old objects but instead an active field within…

supported heliocentrism and wanted the scriptures to be in agreement with it by interpreting the Scriptures differently and using his evidence found from using his telescope. Galileo also wrote several books concerning the planets’ movements and sunspots such as the Sidereus Nuncius and Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems (Westman 11/3 ). These books show his support for heliocentrism and the agreement of the bible because Galileo believed the natural world and the bible should be in…

From simple agricultural civilizations to large and advanced empires, the Classical Period, from 1000 B.C.E. to 500 C.E., was one of the most important and developmental periods in human history. During this period, several large civilizations developed in the Middle East and Asia. These civilizations made many advancements in areas such as politics, economy, technology, art, and religion. Two major civilizations that developed during the classical period were China and the Indian subcontinent.…

Modern day people have a strange affinity for using aspects of ancient cultures as a basis for their cults, prophecies and as spiritual guides to the future. Perhaps the most memorable occurrence of this affinity was the infamous prophecy concerning the Mayan Apocalypse of 2012, an idea created from belief that the world would end or change in some fashion once that year ended. Of all the actions generated by the aforementioned mentality, this prophecy was perhaps the most ridiculous considering…

According to the EPA, Natural causes, including sunspots, permafrost and water vapor, which still occur daily on the earth, but they are not the final result to make climate change, while the human impact on the natural environment is real fact of global warming from increasing greenhouse gases. And these…

9x. (See picture 3) While the spyglass was originally intended for nautical functions, it wasn't long before curiosity drove Galileo to turn his telescope towards the night sky. Galileo would become the first person to see the craters of the moon, sunspots, the phases of venus, and according to recent studies on Galileo’s work, the discovery of Neptune almost 200 years before it was officially discovered. (See picture 4) Along with these discoveries, Galileo is known for his discovery of four of…
