Understanding Climate Change

temperature of the earth 's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants. This global Warming is changing the earth slowly but might make drastic changes to our everyday life. There are many factors causing global warming, the effects could be devastating, and society needs to care more about this and do something to fix this possible epidemic instead of saying there is no such thing. Primarily…

produced by tropical deforestation (Asner, n.d., para 1). Due to the increased amount of carbon and other greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere, scientists state that a global climate change has already occurred and continues to get worse. This could spell disaster for all of the organisms on the planet who rely on the climate to remain constant for their survival. Not only is deforestation causing an increase in carbon in the atmosphere, it also leads to the erosion of the topsoil in affected…

increased frequency of natural disasters will inflict mass damage to coastal cities. Guillermo Del Toro’s Pacific Rim reflects this observation of climate change by comparing the film’s antagonists to natural disasters. When humanity defeats the Kaiju, Japanese for “strange beasts”, Pacific Rim shows the audience the only way to save Earth from climate change is to work together as a species and use cleaner sources for energy. Pacific Rim’s opening monologue hints at the grand allusion from…

Some of these positive effects are controlling climate change and health issues. A negative effect is public acceptance of the CCS. As CO2 is emitted into the atmosphere by burning natural resources, it builds up over time because in cannot escape the atmosphere. Over time there is so much carbon dioxide…

guys ever heard a “Butterfly effect”? There’s a lot of versions but here is mine. Let’s say there is a butterfly flapping its wings in Russia today can make it rain in Vernon on Sunday. It just a concept that one small action can result in a huge change. Here is another example let’s say vehicles driving on highways right now are causing animals living in north pole to lose their life through melting of ice sheets. This is global warming. Today, I’ll be talking about what global warming is and…

She-Zi Island (Taiwan) 4.1 Contexts Located on the confluence of Keelung River and Tamsui River, connecting with Monga Port and Dadaocheng Wharf which was largest and second-largest import and export nodes in the north of Taiwan respectively (from 1720 to 1920), She-Zi Island is the biggest sandbank in Taipei. Due to a heavy flood caused by a typhoon, Cody, in 1953, development of this area was compelled by regional policy (about 40-year developing stagnation); thus, it also has the last…

revolves around the sun. The planet does all that it needs to do to keep humans and animals alive. All of these things happen like clockwork. People just expect everything to go as it has in the past. What if that all changed one day? Seasons did not change. The Earth could not provide all things necessary to sustain life. This could, unfortunately, be what happens if something is not done about global warming.…

When it comes to the causes of global warming and climate change, there are many different theories. One theory is that the extraction, production, consumption, transportation, and exportation of fossil fuels are in part to blame (Judge Denies Motions). Many Democratic officials are accusing large companies in the oil industry, such as Exxon Mobil and Shell, of knowing the dangerous effects fossil fuels can have on the climate. The current claims are that these companies have known since the…

tale of experiences encountered by a climate change scientist, James Hansen. Hansen is a decelerated climate scientist who is a retired researcher of NASA. In his book, he journeys through his life as a climate scientist and tells his experiences and frustrations with the global warming trend that society is creating. It has a good mix of hard science, and political issues. The purpose for this book becomes clear early in the story, what is happening to our climate, and how do we fix it. One of…
