Climate Change Activity
Human Activity and Climate Change
Angellena Gibson
Intro to Enviromental Science Angellena Gibson
Climate change is a problem that is occuring rapidly around the world. Scientist have stated that
human activity and burning fossil fuels does contribute to climate change. In my opinion I would
have to agree with scientist are saying. If I didn't just take scientist evidence alone I would agree just
by the evidence I can see with my own two eyes on a daily basis. Human activity such as
deforestation and burning fossil fuels contributes to fossil fuels. Nasa has imperical data that is
backed by substantial proof that in fact our planet is expierencing climate change. Studies show that
human–produced greenhouse gassess are causing global warming to occur. Particular gassess that
are released in the atmosphere are causing the heat to be unable to escape the way it naturally
would. Since some gases have the tendency to linger in the atmosphere and not escape the climate
has no choice but to expeirence change. Deforestation is part of human activity that is causing
climate change. Nasa states that this is a known fact it contributes to climate change. Humans are
clearing so much land and taking away trees and messing up land which used to be a resource that
provides a ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Facts, evidence, and statistics gathered by scientist leave me no room but believe human activity
play a significant role. Maybe in the future knowing what scientist know now they can research all
the change that needs to take place if we want our planet to survive. If we know that these gasses are
destroying our atmosphere why isn't more laws created to draw the limit on how much burning can
occur? Hopefully we can get laws implemented and utilize other ways because life on earth is more
important than anything

The concept of dual federalism applies in this case as the state of California is fighting for its right
to make and sustain its individual laws and regulations. Dual federalism views the federal system as
a layered stack of cake, where each layer of the government performs that are most relevant at that
level(Feeley& Rubin, 2008). This theory was reflected much during the foundation of the US in the
process of writing the Constitution (Feeley&Rubin, 2008). It advocates for limited and distinct
powers of the federal government and specific tasks and roles left to the states governments. As
such, it leaves each government supreme within its own limits and operations. The states have the
rights to make its own laws and forge its future free of the interference of the national government
as outlined in the Tenth Amendment(Feeley& Rubin, 2008).In this case, California seems to be
pulling in this way as it seeks to make and sustain its own policies and sign agreements with
international bodies as well as countries free from the federal government interference(Feeley&
Rubin, 2008). In fact, California's efforts seems to be violating the norms and traditions, but it
should be noted that the state has the rights to do this under the constitution. The article provides a

The Implications Of Climate Change
There are many topics of discussion that have polarized opinions, yet none are as hotly refuted as
climate change. Although the discourse included is mostly about the causation behind our Earth's
recent rise in temperature, some people go as far as debating its very existence itself. The
implications of climate change are severe and could potentially lead to a catastrophic event we can't
accommodate for. Scientists have confirmed the existence of climate change, yet they have not
proven we are the sole cause, or that we are even the most contributing fact. There are many other
facets of climate change effects, and our current path is being scrutinized to see if we have a lasting
effect. During the past century, human activities have released large amounts of carbon dioxide and
other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, through our mass domestication of food animals, fossil
fuel emissions, and a plethora of other factors. Greenhouse gases create a shield around the earth,
trapping energy from the sun in the atmosphere and causing it to warm, this effect is natural and
necessary to support life on earth "Greenhouse gases are those gaseous constituents of the
atmosphere, both natural and anthropogenic, that absorb and emit radiation at specific wavelengths
within the spectrum of thermal infrared radiation emitted by the Earth's surface, the atmosphere
itself, and by clouds."(IPCC Ar4). However, greenhouse gases are a regulating factor in our climate,

The Dangers Of Climate Change
Global warming or climate change is a worldwide issue and danger to our environment. Many
countries throughout the world are working together to find a way to slow down the effects of
climate change. Climate change can also affect the animal race as it takes away their natural habitat,
which can lead them to extinction. Another leading source of the Global warming is carbon dioxide
and greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. However, there are those who believe it's a lie and is putting
the planet in grave danger. Climate Change is a big issue that affects the people, environment and
the world. If it does not stop now the result on the planet would be disastrous. Proper economic
policies must be implemented to save the world from environmental and economic calamity. Many
conservatives believe that climate change is a hoax set up by the scientists and the green energy
environmentalist. Thus, denying that this phenomenon even exist is absurd. According to Lavelle.
"If we keep burning fossil fuel the earth will be eight degrees warmer, returning to the climate of 52
million years ago." (Lavelle). Per new research. It's the direst prediction yet. If most of the
population continues to burn fossil fuel the carbon dioxide level will rise thus reacting with the solar
radiation and increase the heating temperature. The result will increase the water levels around the
coastlines, which would be flooding into the cities near sea level.

Introduction I. There is an issue on this planet that will define this generation. The issue is climate
change. Global warming. A world on the collapse as our oceans are acidified, our air polluted, our
forests disappearing, and human rights issues getting worse. It seems that people are not aware of
how big climate change actually is. It's not something that only takes place on the ice caps or in the
forests on the far corners of the world. This is an issue that happens here, and now. It's real. It's
happening. II. On the bright side, there are things we can do. This issue is a result of our lack of
action, our lifestyles, and our way of living. Many people want to help, but are not even sure where
to begin. One–way thing that we can do is to reduce the amount of co2 in our atmosphere. There are
simple changes we can make in our daily routines to get started in doing that. III. I'm going to give
you some options in things that you can implement or change in your way of living that can help
with the issue of climate change. These things will help cut carbon in the atmosphere. IV. As a kid I
never really comprehended how vital it was to take care of this planet. As I went through many life
changes I became aware of this necessity, I am currently an intern for Greenpeace and I get to

According to the study of Stanford University which estimated about "950 to 1.1 billion acres of
deserted farmland around the world" (Hawken 41) has been abandoned because of land degradation
and "ninety–nine percent of that abandoned occurred in the past century" (Hawken 41). This gives a
perfect explanation to the massive burden on affected workers that climate change challenges is
placing, the low rates of pay, rising levels of poverty and poor working conditions in agricultural
sector. "Restoration can mean the return of native vegetation, the establishment of tree plantation, or
introduction of regenerative farming methods" (Hawken 41) and by converting these degradation
lands to recovering agriculture, 14.1 gigatons of carbon could be reduces, additional 9.5 billion ton

Our world is in constant demand for more food production and space because of exponential
population growth. Factors like, globalization and urbanization can be contributed to such changes.
However, climate change is one of the unpleasant surprise that can be credited to the degraded acts
towards the environment due to deforestation, burning of fossils and fuels, industrialization and
many more. Vector borne diseases, are one of the most known diseases that can be credited to
climate change.
Change in the environmental patterns introduce human diseases that could have not been a problem
before. For example, malaria is one of the vector borne disease which is sensitive to long term
climate change. The studies have also found that Malaria migrates towards higher altitude when
there is a rise in the temperature. The study, published in the journal Science, studied malaria cases
in the region of western Colombia from 1990 to 2005 and central Ethiopia from 1993 to 2005. The
researchers were able to match the several malaria outbreaks that occurred in high altitudes with the
temperature records of these regions to show the rise and fall pattern of the disease with warmer or
cooler years. This is very threatening because now, millions of people who live in historically
malaria–free regions of the high–altitude tropics are at risk. If we look at the study between climate

Climate Change Is The Change
Climate change is the change in earth's climate like temperature and precipitation over a particular
region. Climate change has shown its affect all across the globe and is leading to all undesirable
loses.
Some of the reasons of radical climate changes are:
Irresponsible activities of humans like misuse of fossil fuels, polluting water bodies and use of non–
renewable sources
Burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil are rising the levels of carbon dioxide in the air.
Climate change is not only leading to drastic changes in temperatures, it has got serious impact on
human as well as animal life like
Inconsistent climate and weather extremity
Rising in sea levels
Longer droughts
Species extinction
Transformed ecosystems
Huge economic loses
Climate change is mainly due to human activities and can also be due to nature. But when necessary
precautions like foregoing fossil fuels, saving power are taken, we can help slow down this drastic
changes in climate.
Climate change can be called as the change in the earths overall climate. Earth's climate has always
been changing, it has gone warmer and cooler over the years. But the earth's average temperature
shows that it has gone warmer than cooler which can lead to huge after–effects.

From the observations presented in the paper it is clear that there is direct/indirect link between
extreme events and climate change and the similar observation was found by Seneviratne et al.,
2012) supporting that Climate change has resulted in changes in the occurrence of extreme events.
Moreover, Out of 24 extreme events analyzed in this paper, 12 showed direct or indirect links to
anthropogenic climate change and some could not be explained. Once a change has been detected it
is important to attribute that change to some cause. Attribution, especially to human greenhouse gas
emissions, gives confidence to model projections of the future driven by anthropogenic forcing as
well as predictions of extremes at shorter time scales (Seneviratne and Zwiers, 2015). When an
extreme event occurs, the question of attribution of these events to human–induced climate change
is of particular interest. Two schools of thought have emerged in this rapidly developing field.
"Oxford" quantifies the change in probability of an extreme event of a particular observed
magnitude caused by the human alteration of the climate system whereas "Boulder" (NOAA 's Earth
System Research Laboratory) examines the human induced change in magnitude of an extreme
event. While providing different types of information to stakeholders, both these probabilistic and

Climate change is a problem that we have been and are currently experiencing. It has caused much
damage to people and the environment, by temperatures rising and natural disasters. It is a problem
that world leaders need to take more seriously, and try to get more people involved to help better the
environment. Who knows what it can cause in the future. Climate change is a serious threat for
everyone living on earth. The Earth's temperature has been rising over the years. Sail Bhattacharya a
professor & head of a medical college claims that over the last 8000 years, Earth's surface
temperature raised by 1 degree Celsius only (1). He also said, at the present rate of global
temperature would rise by 2.5 degrees Celsius by 2050" (1). It's a fact that the earth has gotten
warmer over the years. At this moment the temperature hasn't raised much, only 1 degree Celsius. It
may seem like it's not a big deal, but it actually is, because the rising temperature rate is increasing
as time passes according to Sail Bhattacharya (1). The temperature rising might not cause much
harm now, but can badly affect us or whoever is living on Earth in the future. Climate change is
caused by most human activities. Most of us humans harm the earth every day. Some may know

When you hear the words "climate change" what comes to mind? Probably weather and the changes.
Many of us watch the news or use an app on our cellphones/electronic devices to keep an eye on the
weather for the day, week, or even the month. But, there is actually a difference between weather
and climate. Weather is actually "the changes we see and feel outside from day to day. It might rain
one day and be sunny the next. Weather also changes from place to place" (Dunbar, 2014). Whereas

But many climate scientists will tell you that this change in climate is due to humans and their
activities. It is said that humans release greenhouse gases and "if emissions continue unchecked,
they say the global warming could ultimately exceed 8 degrees Fahrenheit, which would transform
the planet and undermine its capacity to support a large human population" (Gillis, 2015). To make
it easier to understand, as sunlight reaches the Earth's surface there are two things that can be done,
one; it can either be reflected back into space or two, it can be absorbed by the Earth. Once the Earth
absorbs the sunlight, it then releases some energy back into the atmosphere as infrared radiation,
also known as heat. Then these greenhouse gases tend to act like a "blanket," therefore making the
Earth warmer than it would be otherwise. This process is what we call the "greenhouse effect." The
reason scientists say that climate change is caused by humans is that it's simple, humans drive, cook
food, and even heat or cool their homes, which release gases such as, carbon dioxide (CO2),
methane (CH4 ), and water vapor (H2O).
According to a study in October 2015, "Earth had warmed by about 1.7 degrees Fahrenheit since
1880 when records begin at a global scale. Which includes the surface of the ocean. The warming is
greater over land and greater still in the Arctic and parts of Antarctica" (Gillis, 2015). Although an

Climate Change – Environmental change.
WHAT IS IT?
Climate change is an occurrence of a change from patterns in weather which also affects land
surfaces and ice sheets in global or regional areas. When climate change occurs, it continues for
several decades. Climate change can often occur when there has recently been a volcano, such
changes in the patterns of sun radiation or internal variability.
During the last century, burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil has increased the concentration of
atmospheric carbon dioxide. This happens because the coal or oil burning process combines carbon
with oxygen in the air to make CO2. To a lesser extent, the clearing of land for agriculture, industry,
and other human activities has increased concentrations of greenhouse gases. WHAT EFFECT
DOES IT HAVE?
Climate change can cause many major consequences to the earth and its ways of living including
rising seas and increased coastal flooding, longer and more damaging wildfire seasons, more
destructive hurricanes etc. etc.
With global warming the vegetation with large areas; the earth changes. This leaves animals
remaining with reducing the amount of food, for instance, the koala's habitat is in a eucalyptus forest
which they feed on the leaves, but if too much carbon dioxide suddenly occurs near the area, it
changes the chemical composition leaving the leaves toxic to the koalas which threatens their
extinction.

There are uncertainties caused due to the specific year–to–year global mean
temperature differences. However, even taking this into account, NASA had estimated that 2016
was the warmest year with greater than a good portion of 95 percent certainty. The fact that last
year was the warmest year on record is one of the biggest revelations in recent memory. Could
that mean that 2017 will be a warmer year then? Also, will each year get progressively worse and
worse? Since 2001, sixteen out of seventeen years have been on record since most of this
warming has increased within the past thirty–five years. A huge fact entails that not only was
2016 the warmest year on record, but eight of the twelve months that make up the year, from
January through September, with the exception of June, were the warmest on record for those
respective months. October, November, and December of 2016 were the second warmest of
those months on record, in all three cases, behind records set in 2015. That is fascinating, but at
the same a bad thing to consider, since the fear of each year getting worse and worse could be

Without the natural greenhouse effect that these two gases produce, the Earth's average temperature
would be roughly −20°C. However, because the amount of carbon dioxide and water vapor can vary
on Earth, we know that this natural greenhouse effect has produced a climate system which is
naturally unstable and rather unpredictable. The effect of climate change on the planet and various
life forms that inhabit it manifests over an extended period of time. The internal variability is
recognized in the form of hysteresis. In this measure, the climate change recorded does not correlate
or correspond to planned input. However, climate change is not only the cause of rapid deterioration
of our environment, but is also irreversible. Climate change and global warming are seen used
interchangeably, as if they were the same thing, which I think is a mistake. There are obvious
differences between the meanings of the two terms. To better understand their distinction, it is good
to have their definition. Global Warming refers to the overall increase in the heat of the planet, based
on average temperature over the entire surface. Climate Change on the other hand denotes changes
in regional climate characteristics, including temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind and severe

Climate change is a major problem that's continuing to arise with the lack of action that states have
taken to stop the increase of global warming. This phenomenon affects both national security and
human security across the world. National security is a nation that the government, along with the
legislation, should protect the state and citizens against different kinds of "national" crises through
different power projections. Examples of the power projections are political power, diplomacy,
economic power, military might, and more self help methods. Human security is a combination of
threats that are associated with war, genocide, and the displacement of populations. In short, human
security means freedom from violence and from the fear of violence.

The Causes Of Climate Change
Climate change is one of the utmost damaging problem to humanity by the reason that it affects
everyone who lives on Earth. Though there are social problems, such as war or racism, that may
affect certain groups of people, even those with no human contact are affected by climate change in
some way.
A part of climate change is caused by natural forces, though humans unquestionably do contribute to
the effects of climate change. As a whole, society, we all impact climate change. This cannot be
blamed on an individual and their choices. Those people have not chosen to be affected by climate
change in any way. They did not have free choice in whether or not to contribute to climate change.
It wasn't a few people that added on to the effects due to selfishness or cruelty and people don't
contribute based on psychological or physical issues within themselves. With all of our combined
actions that add on to the effects of climate change, we have what we see today.
In order to combat a social issue, we must have social solutions to this problem. To come together
and fight against warming and climate change is essential for us. The less we blame others and start
acting upon this issue ourselves, we will have a bigger impact on climate change quicker and more
efficiently. Though we have been dealing with the human influence on climate change for centuries,
particularly from the start of the Industrial Revolution, we can still lessen the effects. We can't
expect the problem to disappear if only a few people decide to generate a real difference. It is
imperative to examine ourselves, our actions, and how this affects the environment. All governments
can raise or create taxes on carbon emissions. In developed countries and even in some developing
countries, recycling can be heavily instated. More nations can take over the idea of what Sweden is
doing and use their waste for energy. Individually, performing simple acts such as picking up trash,
using less water and driving less can have potential major effects on the earth and on us.

who can avert catastrophe from climate change which makes it very important for the next
American President to give climate change the top most priority. This requires the Presidential
candidates to believe in the danger posed by climate change. In addition to this, it also requires the
Republicans and Democrats to come to a consensus so that they can cooperate with the next U.S.
President in his efforts to curb climate change. While all Democrats support the efforts being taken

Super Typhoon Haiyan, Joplin, MO tornado and tornado super outbreaks, but there also have been
severe droughts as well. Climate change is effecting extreme weather because the climate has been
changing over the years causing the waters and Earth to become warmer, which is causing extreme
weather to become stronger and more severe. Extreme weather can include storms and floods,
temperature extremes, droughts and habitat shifting & alteration (The Open Standards, n.d.).
According to The Open Standards, storms and floods includes thunderstorms, tropical storms,
hurricanes and cyclones, tornadoes, hailstorms, ice storms and blizzards, dust storms and erosions of
the beaches. Temperature extremes are heat waves, cold spells, oceanic temperature changes and
disappearance of glaciers/sea ice. The Open Standards also states that droughts are severe lack of

Climate Change Is A Change
Climate change is a change in global or regional climate patterns. Climate change is a topic that is
brought up in many different genres of conversations. Whether it be brought up and discussed in
politics, school, family, or friends, some people still limit using those words when in casual
conversation. Some of those same people are the people who still deny that climate change is
happening. Climate change affects every single one of us. It affects everyone who lives on this earth
every day and has long term damages that researches can not even predict yet. A new survey finds
that 70 percent of Americans believe the climate is changing, this poll is from Monmouth University
in January, 2016. A lot of people are on the fence about supporting climate change and question
whether or not the government should take a stand for reducing climate change. As a teen and an
upcoming young adult, living in a clean and healthy world means a lot to me. Climate change is not
a recent problem, it has been happening for many years. I will be sharing both sides of the climate
change argument and explaining the steps the government could take to reduce these changes in our

Climate Changes And Disruption : Climate Change And Ecosystem
Climate Change and Ecosystem.
Climate changes affect ecosystems by altering the water cycle, natural habitats and leading to the
changes in food sources, animal migration and the timing of natural processes such as flowering.
Disruption of the ecosystems increase the risk of extinction for many species. Animals and plants
need to adapt to the environmental change on a fast and bigger scale which put great danger to those
species. Changes that disrupt the functioning of ecosystems may increase the risk of harm or even
extinction for some species. According to the National Audubon Society (2014), the winter center of
abundance of the 305 north American bird species moved northward by over 40 miles between 1966
and 2013. This moving is closely related to the higher winter temperatures. Nearly 50 species moved
northward over 200 miles.
In 2016, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Rutgers University studied the
annual changes in latitude and depth of over 100 marine species along the northeast coast and in the
eastern Bering Sea. They found that the center of bio¬mass of marine species shifted northward by
10 miles and moved 20 feet deeper if compare the data from 1982 and 2015. Climate change affects
pheno¬logical events too. The timing of phenological events is closely related to climate, so it is
used as an indicator for ecological processes. Two scientifically used reliable indicators are the first
leaf dates and the first bloom dates of certain species.

Climate Change Around the World
Did you know that Climate change is affecting people all around the world? Climate change is a
very bad thing that has been going on for hundreds of years. So many things are being affected by
climate change. Things that are being affected are trees, plants, animals, and even people. One
reason that climate change is happening is that the earth is always in orbit so the climate is always
changing. Climate change isn't only nature, climate change is caused from humans, the sun, and
animals. We are causing climate change by burning things. Scientists predicted this and they're using
models to predict climate change. Snow leopards in the Himalayas are dieing off. Asian Rhinos
depend on floodplain grasslands and climate change changes the seasonal patterns the Rhinos go off
of. Orang–utans are also one of the species at risk from deforestation. The ice that the Polar Bears
use for homes are slowly starting to melt which means they are becoming more and more crowded.
The average temperature is expected to rise over time. With the temperature slowly rising, icebergs
are melting in Antarctica which is causing polar bears to have to move. Snow and ice cover has been
decreasing a lot already. Sea levels are also rising, if sea levels are rising that can cause floods. More

Climate Change
The Impacts of Climate Change on Society: Global climate change has the ability to adversely
impact and disrupt many sectors of society –including, people's health, agriculture and food supply,
water supply, ecosystems, and more. Extreme weather events, such as decreased rainfall, lead to
prolonged and more intense wildfire seasons which result in decreased air quality for those in
proximity. Droughts increase the stress placed on ground water supplies which is resulting a
reduction of water quality due to increased contamination following intense period of rainfall
("Impacts"). Rising temperatures and increased greenhouse gas emissions have led to increased air
pollution (i.e. aerosols and black carbon) which is detrimental to individual's with respiratory
problems. Additionally, dry conditions have resulted in an increase in the intensity and duration of
allergy seasons in addition to an increase in the spread of insect borne diseases ("Global Warming").
Furthermore, sea level rise and more intense storms puts coastal communities at risk of catastrophic
storm surges and flood damage ("Impacts"). Ecosystems that act as natural buffers to combat the
impacts of severe weather related events (such as floods and fires) are being devastated. For
example, increasing acidification of the oceans in addition to overfishing have disrupted marine–
based food production and harmed fishing industries ("Impacts"). The United States energy

Climate Changes And Climate Change
Climate change is one of the most important challenges of humankind in this century. The ability to
adapt, mitigate and reduce carbon emissions will be decisive to preserve the world for future
generations. The last IPCC report has provided more evidence regarding the rise in temperature and
sea level. Apparently, additional 2°C above the pre–industrial average temperature levels is
unavoidable, and it will continue at that level due the accumulation of gases in the atmosphere
(Solomon 2009). Climate change will affect people all around the world in different ways, though
the capacity to cope with it is different among regions and countries. The Latin America region is
notably susceptible to climate change, due its geographical position, population location and its
economy relying in natural resources (Vergara et. al. 2013a). The withdrawal of the coral biome,
glaciers melting, jungles & forest savannization and strongest climate events are only some of the
threats that will affect their inhabitants.
According to expert's estimations, the economic cost associated with climate change events in Latin
America with a temperature rise of 2°C, is in the order of 85–110 billion per year by 2050
(Fernandes et. al. 2012, Dasgupta et. al. 2007, Vergara et. al. 2013 & Vergara et. al. 2007). Economic

Climate Changes And Climate Change Essay
Abstract:
Climate is inherently variable. Climate changes from place to place and it varies with time. The
world now faces one of the complex and important issue it has ever had to deal with: climate
change. Climate change today is one of the biggest concerns of human beings on the planet and the
effects of climate change are undeniable and it may cause environmental, social, and economic
threats to the planet. We already know and easily can highlight several signs of climate change.
They are: rising global sea level, widespread melting of snow and ice, rapidly changing ocean and
global temperatures, and other signs. So, what are the causes of climate change? Is it natural or do
human beings cause it? Well, in both cases we would be right. The climate change can be affected
by natural factors, such as solar output, volcanic eruptions, and the Earth's orbit around the Sun.
Also, climate change can be affected by human activities such as, deforestation, burning fossil fuels,
causing ozone hole, and building mass destructive weapons and using them on earth that causes a
huge radioactivity on earth. Currently, the threat of global climate change does not threaten some
nations to the extent of others. Compare the United States with the rest of African countries. We live
in prosperity and in much easier time than the rest African countries. Most African countries cannot
grow anything on their lands because of climate change. At the end, climate change might affect

The Change Of The Climate Change
The world continues to spin and spin, and we've always heard about the condition of the climate. We
hear about the changing levels of CO2 in our atmosphere and the Earth's population contribution to
the rise of it. No one usually stops to think about how the food production systems for the food we
eat is also a contributing factor to the rise of CO2. "I turn my life upside–down, start biking to work,
plant a big garden, turn down the thermostat so low I need the Jimmy Carter signature cardigan,
forsake the clothes dryer for a laundry line across the yard, trade in the station wagon for a hybrid,
get off the beef, go completely local" (Pollan, p. 765) are just a few ways Michael Pollan suggests to
help the climate change. He says "plant a big garden, get off the beef, go completely local" because
most of the food production companies play a major part in the CO2 increase in our air. In The
Climate Crisis at the End of Our Fork, Anne Lappe says "Start thinking about another sector of the
economy that is increasingly exacerbating the climate crisis. The global food system – including
deforestation to make way for crops for cattle and cars – is responsible for an estimated one–third of
total greenhouse gas emissions." We're unsettling the atmosphere and causing worldwide change
just from the food we eat, or at least in how it's produced. These companies clear land to build
factories, taking away the trees that turn the CO2 into the oxygen we need. Pollan mentions that the

The effects of climate change on forest
There is two billion forest all over the world, but the forests were disappearing quickly which the
area of the forest disappear equal area of thirty–six football fields each minute. Those are a very
shocking number which 257040 square meters every minute. Forest is very important for our life. It
can absorb greenhouse gas, produce some clean oxygen air, filter dust and kill bacteria. Why is the
forest disappearing? The answer from scientists is that except deforest the main reason for the forest
disappears is climate change. Climate change which involves the rising of temperature could lead to
drought, wildfire even forest disappear.
Research reveals that climate change leads to drought, which causes trees to grow more
slowly.Researchers found some tree in Canada's northern greenbelt is continue to drought. They
compare and analyze the growth rate of trees in drought area with the average growth rate of more
than one thousand and three hundred trees all over the world. They found the results are very
different that trees growth rate decreases nine percent an average over the first years and five

Hurricanes And Climate Change : The Effects Of Climate Change
According to CNN, in late August 2017, hurricane Harvey hit land causing $75 billion dollars' worth
of damage and causing the deaths of 82 people as it tore through Texas with winds exceeding 130
mph and pouring 27 trillion gallons in less than a week. A week later hurricane Irma hit the
Caribbean as a category 5 storm devastating the islands with 125 mph winds and claiming the lives
of 61 people before weakening over the Florida coast. 10 days later hurricane Maria hits Dominica
and Puerto Rico, also a category 5 storm. 70,000 people were evacuated as dams are feared to burst
and power was lost to the entire island of Puerto Rico. 60 people died ("2017 Atlantic Hurricane",
2017). Hurricanes, cyclones and typhoons play a major role in coastal disasters and could prove
even more disastrous with the effects of climate change. Hurricanes form as warm moist air begins
to rise over the sea surface and leaves a gap of low pressure underneath. High pressure air then fills
this gap, heats up, and then rises again. This creates the cyclonic action ("How Hurricanes Form",
2017). These types of events require a minimum sea surface temperature of 26.5 degrees Celsius, or
roughly 80 degrees Fahrenheit and a depth of at least 60m (Michener et al, 1997) and as the

Weather And Climate Change
Weather is how the atmosphere behaves during a short period of time while climate is the overall
behavior of the atmosphere during a long period of time. The difference between the two is simply
the measure of time. Human activities and life may have an effect on both weather and climate.
Weather consists of sunshine, rain, storms, blizzards, cold fronts and more. When we look at climate
we look at the long–term patterns of weather in specific regions. Climate consists of averages of
precipitation, temperature, humidity, wind velocity and sunshine. These are what scientists are
looking for when measuring or observing the climate in a region. Climate is the overall weather of a
certain region, for example, Europe has a rainy climate because it is almost always raining. Weather
changes from day to day, hour to hour so they are not the same thing, but they are related to one
another.
Global warming is simply the rising temperature of the Earth's surface. Climate change is the side
effect of global warming such as melting ice, heavier rain, extinction of wildlife, and rising
temperatures resulting in droughts. Increases in greenhouse gases, mainly carbon dioxide due to
human activities such as burning coal, oil and gas is what is causing the rise in global temperature. If
it wasn't for human activities increasing the global temperature, natural factors such as volcanoes,
changes in the Earth's orbit and solar forcing actually have the potential of cooling the earth's
surface.

Climate Change Thesis
After decades of studies and impacts becoming more significant, people from every society should
unite in their stand on climate change in order to clearly communicate stimulating pieces of
information that lead to definite actions in addressing environmental problems. Climate change
poses a problem whose consequences are global. In 2006, above average temperatures were
recorded throughout the world for the 30th consecutive year. Increasing average temperatures are
melting glaciers and polar ice caps, which raises sea levels and increases the risk of flooding in
coastal areas. There is mounting evidence to the effect that these changes are not the result of natural
climate variability. The thesis of climate change caused by humans is supported by many leading
scientific bodies, including the British Royal Society.
Arguments do exist that there is no evidence that changes in composition observed are of human
origin. However, the growth of the gas concentration in the atmosphere began with the industrial
age. The annual increase in CO2 concentration observed amounts only to half the annual
atmospheric release of CO2 from the burning of fossil fuels. A small decrease is actually observed
for oxygen in the atmosphere which is what is required for the combustion of coal, oil and natural
gas used. The melting of glaciers, the rise of water levels, and the intensified catastrophes–many

Climate Change and Climate Change Adaptation :
Generally Climate Change is a change in weather pattern, when that change lasts for an extended
period of time. It has been already proven that CC is the consequence of unchecked pollution.
Excessive carbon emission has dangerous effects on the environment, the economy and our
wellbeing (Australian Conservation Foundation, 2014, United Nations Framework Convention on
Climate Change)
The Climate science has already proved that CC is not just a temperature change. It has a huge
impact on the planet. Sea level rise, natural calamity, Changing weather pattern, and many other
adverse impacts will harm not only the human being but also other species of the earth.
As the process has been started and it is not at all possible to get rid of the impacts of CC, that's why
nowadays adaptation and mitigation of CC are the prominent issue. "Adaptation" refers to efforts by
society and ecosystems to prepare for or adjust to future CC. The adjustment can be Protective or
opportunistic (United States Environmental Protection Agency, 2014). It is the concept of coping
ability to manage both the causes of environmental changes and consequences of that change
(Heinrichs et al., 2009). Adaption can consist of a wide verity of actions by an individual,
community or organization to prepare for or response to CC impacts.

The Causes Of Climate Change
"More than a million species face potential extinction as a result of disappearing habitats, changing
ecosystems, and acidifying oceans" (Berger). Climate change affects all living things on the earth
and is accelerating because of human activity. Climate change is happening right now, scientists are
trying to figure out what is causing it, what the effects of climate change are, and they are
researching how the atmosphere has changed.
Climate change is classified by many different events and reactions that are happening. The first is
that the earth's atmosphere is trapping more heat. "The warming of Earth's climate, due mostly to
increased trapping of heat by gases in the atmosphere, often is termed the greenhouse effect. Some
degree of greenhouse effect is natural and normal" (Lerner 3). Some percent of greenhouse gases are
produced naturally but a majority of the gases are being produced by humans. "Most scientists agree
that this warming trend is the result of loading the atmosphere with carbon dioxide and other heat–
trapping gases" (Freedman 2). The atmosphere is being loaded with carbon dioxide and other
harmful gases and this is making the atmosphere trap more heat. Changes in air temperature is
another factor of climate change. "The greenhouse effect has been extremely important to the
evolution and survival of life on Earth. A surface temperature of 59°F is sufficient to maintain the
Earth's reservoirs of life–sustaining liquid water, and to impel climatic

Climate Change And Climate Adaptation
One of the most challenging global issue facing today's society is climate change, it is affecting all
regions across the globe, with some areas experiencing extreme weather events and heavy rainfall,
whereas other regions are hit with droughts and heat waves. Climate change can be defined as a
"large–scale, long–term shift in the planet's weather patterns or average temperatures." (metoffice).
Consequently, a range of challenges are occurring to not only human settlements, but more
importantly to the natural environment as well. It is becoming increasingly important for countries
across the globe to attempt to adapt and mitigate from the effects of climate change. Climate
mitigation is "any action taken to permanently eliminate or reduce the long–term risk and hazards of
climate change to human life, property." (Global–greenhouse–warming.com). It can include
enhancing the sinks of greenhouse gases, as well as reducing the sources. Whereas climate
adaptation, is referring to "the ability of a system to adjust to climate change (including climate
variability and extremes) to moderate potential damage, to take advantage of opportunities, or to
cope with the consequences." (Global–greenhouse–warming.com). Adaptation can include
improving road infrastructure, so it would be able to withstand hotter temperatures, or just simply
change in behaviour shifts such as using less water. These two methods are essential and can be
connected through strategic town planning, and can be used to tackle climate change, through an
array of implementations which will not only prepare the globe, but also reduce the impacts of
climate change.
Urban areas not only have a profound part in contributing to climate change, but these areas have
also become extremely vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, as more than half of the world's
population are living in urban areas and global rate of urbanisation is evermore increasing. Cities
can be met with an increase in frequency of storms, flooding, landslides and heat waves. Higher
temperatures also occur more frequently in urban areas than rural or suburban surroundings, due to
the urban heat island effect. This is "an area, such as a city or industrial site, that has consistently

Climate Change Consequences
Climate change is the consequence of unchecked pollution. When carbon emissions caused by
human activity enter the air they have dangerous effects on the environment, the economy, and our
wellbeing. The world is seeing sobering signs of climate change's accelerating impacts, from longer,
more intense droughts to stronger storms and rising seas (CNN.1). Yet in contrast to the slow pace of
international negotiations to combat climate change, national legislation is still not keeping up.
When Al Gore gave his Noble Peace prize acceptance speech; he was not only accepted an award
but he was also speaking about the awareness of his main objective stopping climate change. He
believes that drastic problem that's affecting every aspect of the planet is caused by the ones who
need to be the ones to fix it. "We are what is wrong, and we must make it right." (Gore.2). Today we
still at this tipping point where the planet must decide the future they want for upcoming
generations, what solutions they need to be able to do before they pass the tipping point, and how
much influence of society do the planet needs to get the job done. Al Gore put Climate Change into
a perspective that the beginning of this century the planet that has been experiencing drastic changes
they are causing deadly consequences everywhere and that mankind has so far no stable solution to
ending the problem. This is important because to Al Gore believed that a few years ago the planet is

Climate Changes And Climate Change
The concept of climate change has been around for quite a while. The earliest mention of climate
change dates back to the 19th century. Swedish scientist, Svante Archenius was the first scientist to
study the effect of CO2 on climate. (Rodhe et al 1997)
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) defines climate change as "A change in the
state of the climate that can be identified (e.g by using statistical tests) by changes in mean and/or
the variability of its properties and that persists for an extended period, typically, decades or longer.
Climate change may be due to natural internal processes or external forcings, or anthropogenic
changes in the composition of the atmosphere or in the landuse"
The UNFCC also defines climate change as "a change of climate which is attributed directly or
indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere and which is in
addition to natural climate variability observed over time periods."
Climate change is influenced by the greenhouse effect which is the increase of Carbon dioxide,
Methane, Ozone and Nitrogen Oxide. On one hand, the presence of these gases in the atmosphere
make the earth habitable with respect to regulating the earth's temperature. However, an increase in
the concentration of these gases results in trapping energy in the atmosphere and this in turn
increases earth's temperature. "Global greenhouse gas emissions have grown since pre–industrial

Scientist have stated that human activity and burning fossil fuels does contribute to climate change. In my opinion I would have to agree with scientist are saying. If I didn't just take scientist evidence alone I would agree just by the evidence I can see with my own two eyes on a daily basis. Human activity such as deforestation and burning fossil fuels contributes to fossil fuels. Nasa has imperical data that is backed by substantial proof that in fact our planet is expierencing climate change. Studies show that human–produced greenhouse gassess are causing global warming to occur. Particular gassess that are released in the atmosphere are causing the heat to be unable to escape the way it naturally would. Since some gases have the tendency to linger in the atmosphere and not escape the climate has no choice but to expeirence change. Deforestation is part of human activity that is causing climate change. Nasa states that this is a known fact it contributes to climate change. Humans are clearing so much land and taking away trees and messing up land which used to be a resource that provides a ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Facts, evidence, and statistics gathered by scientist leave me no room but believe human activity play a significant role. Maybe in the future knowing what scientist know now they can research all the change that needs to take place if we want our planet to survive.

Retrieved from https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/23/us/california–engages–world–and–fights– washington–on–climate–change.html?_r=0 In this article, Daventport and Nagourney illustrate how California, the state with the most strict policies and laws on environment, is attempting to defy the federal government's relaxed policies by partnering with international bodies and countries.

Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The concept of dual federalism applies in this case as the state of California is fighting for its right to make and sustain its individual laws and regulations. Dual federalism views the federal system as a layered stack of cake, where each layer of the government performs that are most relevant at that level(Feeley& Rubin, 2008). This theory was reflected much during the foundation of the US in the process of writing the Constitution (Feeley&Rubin, 2008). It advocates for limited and distinct powers of the federal government and specific tasks and roles left to the states governments. As such, it leaves each government supreme within its own limits and operations. The states have the rights to make its own laws and forge its future free of the interference of the national government as outlined in the Tenth Amendment(Feeley& Rubin, 2008).In this case, California seems to be pulling in this way as it seeks to make and sustain its own policies and sign agreements with international bodies as well as countries free from the federal government interference(Feeley& Rubin, 2008). In fact, California's efforts seems to be violating the norms and traditions, but it should be noted that the state has the rights to do this under the constitution.

  • 7. The Implications Of Climate Change There are many topics of discussion that have polarized opinions, yet none are as hotly refuted as climate change. Although the discourse included is mostly about the causation behind our Earth's recent rise in temperature, some people go as far as debating its very existence itself. The implications of climate change are severe and could potentially lead to a catastrophic event we can't accommodate for. Scientists have confirmed the existence of climate change, yet they have not proven we are the sole cause, or that we are even the most contributing fact. There are many other facets of climate change effects, and our current path is being scrutinized to see if we have a lasting effect. During the past century, human activities have released large amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, through our mass domestication of food animals, fossil fuel emissions, and a plethora of other factors. Greenhouse gases create a shield around the earth, trapping energy from the sun in the atmosphere and causing it to warm, this effect is natural and necessary to support life on earth "Greenhouse gases are those gaseous constituents of the atmosphere, both natural and anthropogenic, that absorb and emit radiation at specific wavelengths within the spectrum of thermal infrared radiation emitted by the Earth's surface, the atmosphere itself, and by clouds."(IPCC Ar4).

Many countries throughout the world are working together to find a way to slow down the effects of climate change. Climate change can also affect the animal race as it takes away their natural habitat, which can lead them to extinction. Another leading source of the Global warming is carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. However, there are those who believe it's a lie and is putting the planet in grave danger. Climate Change is a big issue that affects the people, environment and the world. If it does not stop now the result on the planet would be disastrous. Proper economic policies must be implemented to save the world from environmental and economic calamity. Many conservatives believe that climate change is a hoax set up by the scientists and the green energy environmentalist. Thus, denying that this phenomenon even exist is absurd. According to Lavelle. "If we keep burning fossil fuel the earth will be eight degrees warmer, returning to the climate of 52 million years ago." (Lavelle). Per new research. It's the direst prediction yet. If most of the population continues to burn fossil fuel the carbon dioxide level will rise thus reacting with the solar radiation and increase the heating temperature. The result will increase the water levels around the coastlines, which would be flooding into the cities near sea level. So how to prevent global warming effect and keep the ...

A world on the collapse as our oceans are acidified, our air polluted, our forests disappearing, and human rights issues getting worse. It seems that people are not aware of how big climate change actually is. It's not something that only takes place on the ice caps or in the forests on the far corners of the world. This is an issue that happens here, and now. It's real. It's happening. II. On the bright side, there are things we can do. This issue is a result of our lack of action, our lifestyles, and our way of living. Many people want to help, but are not even sure where to begin. One–way thing that we can do is to reduce the amount of co2 in our atmosphere. There are simple changes we can make in our daily routines to get started in doing that. III. I'm going to give you some options in things that you can implement or change in your way of living that can help with the issue of climate change. These things will help cut carbon in the atmosphere. IV. As a kid I never really comprehended how vital it was to take care of this planet. As I went through many life changes I became aware of this necessity, I am currently an intern for Greenpeace and I get to passionately do something to help ensure that this planet, and the people who will come after us can thrive.

According to the study of Stanford University which estimated about "950 to 1.1 billion acres of deserted farmland around the world" (Hawken 41) has been abandoned because of land degradation and "ninety–nine percent of that abandoned occurred in the past century" (Hawken 41). This gives a perfect explanation to the massive burden on affected workers that climate change challenges is placing, the low rates of pay, rising levels of poverty and poor working conditions in agricultural sector. "Restoration can mean the return of native vegetation, the establishment of tree plantation, or introduction of regenerative farming methods" (Hawken 41) and by converting these degradation lands to recovering agriculture, 14.1 gigatons of carbon could be reduces, additional 9.5 billion ton of food could be produced, as well as, it could provide, on an investment of $72 billion, financial return of $1.3 trillion.

Factors like, globalization and urbanization can be contributed to such changes. However, climate change is one of the unpleasant surprise that can be credited to the degraded acts towards the environment due to deforestation, burning of fossils and fuels, industrialization and many more. Vector borne diseases, are one of the most known diseases that can be credited to climate change. Change in the environmental patterns introduce human diseases that could have not been a problem before. For example, malaria is one of the vector borne disease which is sensitive to long term climate change. The studies have also found that Malaria migrates towards higher altitude when there is a rise in the temperature. The study, published in the journal Science, studied malaria cases in the region of western Colombia from 1990 to 2005 and central Ethiopia from 1993 to 2005. The researchers were able to match the several malaria outbreaks that occurred in high altitudes with the temperature records of these regions to show the rise and fall pattern of the disease with warmer or cooler years. This is very threatening because now, millions of people who live in historically malaria–free regions of the high–altitude tropics are at risk.

Climate Changes And Climate Change From the observations presented in the paper it is clear that there is direct/indirect link between extreme events and climate change and the similar observation was found by Seneviratne et al., 2012) supporting that Climate change has resulted in changes in the occurrence of extreme events. Moreover, Out of 24 extreme events analyzed in this paper, 12 showed direct or indirect links to anthropogenic climate change and some could not be explained. Once a change has been detected it is important to attribute that change to some cause. Attribution, especially to human greenhouse gas emissions, gives confidence to model projections of the future driven by anthropogenic forcing as well as predictions of extremes at shorter time scales (Seneviratne and Zwiers, 2015). When an extreme event occurs, the question of attribution of these events to human–induced climate change is of particular interest. Two schools of thought have emerged in this rapidly developing field. "Oxford" quantifies the change in probability of an extreme event of a particular observed magnitude caused by the human alteration of the climate system whereas "Boulder" (NOAA 's Earth System Research Laboratory) examines the human induced change in magnitude of an extreme event. While providing different types of information to stakeholders, both these probabilistic and mechanistic schools of thought have been shown to be equivalent (Easterling et al 2016).

It has caused much damage to people and the environment, by temperatures rising and natural disasters. It is a problem that world leaders need to take more seriously, and try to get more people involved to help better the environment. Who knows what it can cause in the future. Climate change is a serious threat for everyone living on earth. The Earth's temperature has been rising over the years. Sail Bhattacharya a professor & head of a medical college claims that over the last 8000 years, Earth's surface temperature raised by 1 degree Celsius only (1). He also said, at the present rate of global temperature would rise by 2.5 degrees Celsius by 2050" (1). It's a fact that the earth has gotten warmer over the years. At this moment the temperature hasn't raised much, only 1 degree Celsius. It may seem like it's not a big deal, but it actually is, because the rising temperature rate is increasing as time passes according to Sail Bhattacharya (1). The temperature rising might not cause much harm now, but can badly affect us or whoever is living on Earth in the future. Climate change is caused by most human activities.

Many of us watch the news or use an app on our cellphones/electronic devices to keep an eye on the weather for the day, week, or even the month. But, there is actually a difference between weather and climate. Weather is actually "the changes we see and feel outside from day to day. It might rain one day and be sunny the next. Weather also changes from place to place" (Dunbar, 2014). Whereas "climate is the usual weather of a place. Climate can be different for different seasons. Different places can have different climates" (Dunbar, 2014). This paper will focus on the ins and outs of climate change, specifically focusing on what climate change ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... But many climate scientists will tell you that this change in climate is due to humans and their activities. It is said that humans release greenhouse gases and "if emissions continue unchecked, they say the global warming could ultimately exceed 8 degrees Fahrenheit, which would transform the planet and undermine its capacity to support a large human population" (Gillis, 2015). To make it easier to understand, as sunlight reaches the Earth's surface there are two things that can be done, one; it can either be reflected back into space or two, it can be absorbed by the Earth. Once the Earth absorbs the sunlight, it then releases some energy back into the atmosphere as infrared radiation, also known as heat. Then these greenhouse gases tend to act like a "blanket," therefore making the Earth warmer than it would be otherwise. This process is what we call the "greenhouse effect." The reason scientists say that climate change is caused by humans is that it's simple, humans drive, cook food, and even heat or cool their homes, which release gases such as, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4 ), and water vapor (H2O). According to a study in October 2015, "Earth had warmed by about 1.7 degrees Fahrenheit since 1880 when records begin at a global scale. Which includes the surface of the ocean. The warming is greater over land and greater still in the Arctic and parts of Antarctica" (Gillis, 2015). Although an increase of warmth of 1.7 degrees doesn't seem like it's a big deal, ...

Climate change is an occurrence of a change from patterns in weather which also affects land surfaces and ice sheets in global or regional areas. When climate change occurs, it continues for several decades. Climate change can often occur when there has recently been a volcano, such changes in the patterns of sun radiation or internal variability. During the last century, burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil has increased the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide. This happens because the coal or oil burning process combines carbon with oxygen in the air to make CO2. To a lesser extent, the clearing of land for agriculture, industry, and other human activities has increased concentrations of greenhouse gases. WHAT EFFECT DOES IT HAVE? Climate change can cause many major consequences to the earth and its ways of living including rising seas and increased coastal flooding, longer and more damaging wildfire seasons, more destructive hurricanes etc. etc. With global warming the vegetation with large areas; the earth changes. This leaves animals remaining with reducing the amount of food, for instance, the koala's habitat is in a eucalyptus forest which they feed on the leaves, but if too much carbon dioxide suddenly occurs near the area, it changes the chemical composition leaving the leaves toxic to the koalas which threatens their extinction.

The expected impacts of the changing climate are likely to adversely affect the well being of all countries and particularly the poorest countries, some of which are in Africa. The changing climate has been manifested in the form of: increased severity and frequency of droughts; floods and storms; water stress, coastal erosion, and higher incidence of vector borne diseases among others. The resulting declines in agricultural productivity and food security, widespread incidence of water–related diseases, particularly in tropical areas have had a telling effect on economic development.

Without the natural greenhouse effect that these two gases produce, the Earth's average temperature would be roughly −20°C. However, because the amount of carbon dioxide and water vapor can vary on Earth, we know that this natural greenhouse effect has produced a climate system which is naturally unstable and rather unpredictable. The effect of climate change on the planet and various life forms that inhabit it manifests over an extended period of time. The internal variability is recognized in the form of hysteresis. In this measure, the climate change recorded does not correlate or correspond to planned input. However, climate change is not only the cause of rapid deterioration of our environment, but is also irreversible. Climate change and global warming are seen used interchangeably, as if they were the same thing, which I think is a mistake. There are obvious differences between the meanings of the two terms. To better understand their distinction, it is good to have their definition. Global Warming refers to the overall increase in the heat of the planet, based on average temperature over the entire surface. Climate Change on the other hand denotes changes in regional climate characteristics, including temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind and severe weather events.

This phenomenon affects both national security and human security across the world. National security is a nation that the government, along with the legislation, should protect the state and citizens against different kinds of "national" crises through different power projections. Examples of the power projections are political power, diplomacy, economic power, military might, and more self help methods. Human security is a combination of threats that are associated with war, genocide, and the displacement of populations. In short, human security means freedom from violence and from the fear of violence. The textbook, How the World Works, provides three possible scenarios that could happen. The scenarios usually fall under geopolitical conflict, market and technological rescue, and effective global regulation. There are increasing ways to reduce the carbon footprint that is being emitted currently. There are solar panels, biofuels, wind turbines, and many other environmentally friendly ways to cut down on carbon emissions so our planet can continue to sustain life. The carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is higher than ever. In the past, the carbon dioxide in the air was approximately 180 parts per million back in around 1000 AD.

Five of the top producers of greenhouse gas emissions are considered the most influential or powerful Nations. These powerful nations are (ranked from highest to lowest) United States, Russia, China, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (Clark 2017). All of the Countries listed were ranked according to its economy, politics or political influence, cultural influence (including art), education, natural resources, environmental change, exports of arms, imports of arms, military spending, and military size. Overall, these Nations share in influence on other smaller nations. This is key in determining the lack of effectiveness of the UNFCCC.

Though there are social problems, such as war or racism, that may affect certain groups of people, even those with no human contact are affected by climate change in some way. A part of climate change is caused by natural forces, though humans unquestionably do contribute to the effects of climate change. As a whole, society, we all impact climate change. This cannot be blamed on an individual and their choices. Those people have not chosen to be affected by climate change in any way. They did not have free choice in whether or not to contribute to climate change. It wasn't a few people that added on to the effects due to selfishness or cruelty and people don't contribute based on psychological or physical issues within themselves. With all of our combined actions that add on to the effects of climate change, we have what we see today. In order to combat a social issue, we must have social solutions to this problem. To come together and fight against warming and climate change is essential for us. The less we blame others and start acting upon this issue ourselves, we will have a bigger impact on climate change quicker and more efficiently. Though we have been dealing with the human influence on climate change for centuries, particularly from the start of the Industrial Revolution, we can still lessen the effects. We can't expect the problem to disappear if only a few people decide to generate a real difference. It is imperative to examine ourselves, our actions, and how this affects the environment. All governments can raise or create taxes on carbon emissions. In developed countries and even in some developing countries, recycling can be heavily instated. More nations can take over the idea of what Sweden is doing and use their waste for energy. Individually, performing simple acts such as picking up trash, using less water and driving less can have potential major effects on the earth and on us.

Climate changes affect ecosystems by altering the water cycle, natural habitats and leading to the changes in food sources, animal migration and the timing of natural processes such as flowering. Disruption of the ecosystems increase the risk of extinction for many species. Animals and plants need to adapt to the environmental change on a fast and bigger scale which put great danger to those species. Changes that disrupt the functioning of ecosystems may increase the risk of harm or even extinction for some species. According to the National Audubon Society (2014), the winter center of abundance of the 305 north American bird species moved northward by over 40 miles between 1966 and 2013. This moving is closely related to the higher winter temperatures. Nearly 50 species moved northward over 200 miles. In 2016, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Rutgers University studied the annual changes in latitude and depth of over 100 marine species along the northeast coast and in the eastern Bering Sea. They found that the center of bio¬mass of marine species shifted northward by 10 miles and moved 20 feet deeper if compare the data from 1982 and 2015.

Climate change is a very bad thing that has been going on for hundreds of years. So many things are being affected by climate change. Things that are being affected are trees, plants, animals, and even people. One reason that climate change is happening is that the earth is always in orbit so the climate is always changing. Climate change isn't only nature, climate change is caused from humans, the sun, and animals. We are causing climate change by burning things. Scientists predicted this and they're using models to predict climate change. Snow leopards in the Himalayas are dieing off. Asian Rhinos depend on floodplain grasslands and climate change changes the seasonal patterns the Rhinos go off of. Orang–utans are also one of the species at risk from deforestation.

Climate Change The Impacts of Climate Change on Society: Global climate change has the ability to adversely impact and disrupt many sectors of society –including, people's health, agriculture and food supply, water supply, ecosystems, and more. Extreme weather events, such as decreased rainfall, lead to prolonged and more intense wildfire seasons which result in decreased air quality for those in proximity. Droughts increase the stress placed on ground water supplies which is resulting a reduction of water quality due to increased contamination following intense period of rainfall ("Impacts"). Rising temperatures and increased greenhouse gas emissions have led to increased air pollution (i.e. aerosols and black carbon) which is detrimental to individual's with respiratory problems. Additionally, dry conditions have resulted in an increase in the intensity and duration of allergy seasons in addition to an increase in the spread of insect borne diseases ("Global Warming"). Furthermore, sea level rise and more intense storms puts coastal communities at risk of catastrophic storm surges and flood damage ("Impacts"). Ecosystems that act as natural buffers to combat the impacts of severe weather related events (such as floods and fires) are being devastated. For example, increasing acidification of the oceans in addition to overfishing have disrupted marine– based food production and harmed fishing industries ("Impacts").

The last IPCC report has provided more evidence regarding the rise in temperature and sea level. Apparently, additional 2°C above the pre–industrial average temperature levels is unavoidable, and it will continue at that level due the accumulation of gases in the atmosphere (Solomon 2009). Climate change will affect people all around the world in different ways, though the capacity to cope with it is different among regions and countries. The Latin America region is notably susceptible to climate change, due its geographical position, population location and its economy relying in natural resources (Vergara et. al. 2013a). The withdrawal of the coral biome, glaciers melting, jungles & forest savannization and strongest climate events are only some of the threats that will affect their inhabitants. According to expert's estimations, the economic cost associated with climate change events in Latin America with a temperature rise of 2°C, is in the order of 85–110 billion per year by 2050 (Fernandes et. al. 2012, Dasgupta et. al. 2007, Vergara et. al. 2013 & Vergara et. al. 2007).

The world now faces one of the complex and important issue it has ever had to deal with: climate change. Climate change today is one of the biggest concerns of human beings on the planet and the effects of climate change are undeniable and it may cause environmental, social, and economic threats to the planet. We already know and easily can highlight several signs of climate change. They are: rising global sea level, widespread melting of snow and ice, rapidly changing ocean and global temperatures, and other signs. So, what are the causes of climate change? Is it natural or do human beings cause it? Well, in both cases we would be right. The climate change can be affected by natural factors, such as solar output, volcanic eruptions, and the Earth's orbit around the Sun. Also, climate change can be affected by human activities such as, deforestation, burning fossil fuels, causing ozone hole, and building mass destructive weapons and using them on earth that causes a huge radioactivity on earth. Currently, the threat of global climate change does not threaten some nations to the extent of others. Compare the United States with the rest of African countries.

We hear about the changing levels of CO2 in our atmosphere and the Earth's population contribution to the rise of it. No one usually stops to think about how the food production systems for the food we eat is also a contributing factor to the rise of CO2. "I turn my life upside–down, start biking to work, plant a big garden, turn down the thermostat so low I need the Jimmy Carter signature cardigan, forsake the clothes dryer for a laundry line across the yard, trade in the station wagon for a hybrid, get off the beef, go completely local" (Pollan, p. 765) are just a few ways Michael Pollan suggests to help the climate change. He says "plant a big garden, get off the beef, go completely local" because most of the food production companies play a major part in the CO2 increase in our air. In The Climate Crisis at the End of Our Fork, Anne Lappe says "Start thinking about another sector of the economy that is increasingly exacerbating the climate crisis. The global food system – including deforestation to make way for crops for cattle and cars – is responsible for an estimated one–third of total greenhouse gas emissions."

A week later hurricane Irma hit the Caribbean as a category 5 storm devastating the islands with 125 mph winds and claiming the lives of 61 people before weakening over the Florida coast. 10 days later hurricane Maria hits Dominica and Puerto Rico, also a category 5 storm. 70,000 people were evacuated as dams are feared to burst and power was lost to the entire island of Puerto Rico. 60 people died ("2017 Atlantic Hurricane", 2017). Hurricanes, cyclones and typhoons play a major role in coastal disasters and could prove even more disastrous with the effects of climate change. Hurricanes form as warm moist air begins to rise over the sea surface and leaves a gap of low pressure underneath. High pressure air then fills this gap, heats up, and then rises again. This creates the cyclonic action ("How Hurricanes Form", 2017). These types of events require a minimum sea surface temperature of 26.5 degrees Celsius, or roughly 80 degrees Fahrenheit and a depth of at least 60m (Michener et al, 1997) and as the temperature increases globally as does the possible effect on hurricanes.

The difference between the two is simply the measure of time. Human activities and life may have an effect on both weather and climate. Weather consists of sunshine, rain, storms, blizzards, cold fronts and more. When we look at climate we look at the long–term patterns of weather in specific regions. Climate consists of averages of precipitation, temperature, humidity, wind velocity and sunshine. These are what scientists are looking for when measuring or observing the climate in a region. Climate is the overall weather of a certain region, for example, Europe has a rainy climate because it is almost always raining. Weather changes from day to day, hour to hour so they are not the same thing, but they are related to one another. Global warming is simply the rising temperature of the Earth's surface. Climate change is the side effect of global warming such as melting ice, heavier rain, extinction of wildlife, and rising temperatures resulting in droughts. Increases in greenhouse gases, mainly carbon dioxide due to human activities such as burning coal, oil and gas is what is causing the rise in global temperature. If it wasn't for human activities increasing the global temperature, natural factors such as volcanoes, changes in the Earth's orbit and solar forcing actually have the potential of cooling the earth's surface. ...

Climate Change Thesis After decades of studies and impacts becoming more significant, people from every society should unite in their stand on climate change in order to clearly communicate stimulating pieces of information that lead to definite actions in addressing environmental problems. Climate change poses a problem whose consequences are global. In 2006, above average temperatures were recorded throughout the world for the 30th consecutive year. Increasing average temperatures are melting glaciers and polar ice caps, which raises sea levels and increases the risk of flooding in coastal areas. There is mounting evidence to the effect that these changes are not the result of natural climate variability. The thesis of climate change caused by humans is supported by many leading scientific bodies, including the British Royal Society. Arguments do exist that there is no evidence that changes in composition observed are of human origin. However, the growth of the gas concentration in the atmosphere began with the industrial age. The annual increase in CO2 concentration observed amounts only to half the annual atmospheric release of CO2 from the burning of fossil fuels. A small decrease is actually observed for oxygen in the atmosphere which is what is required for the combustion of coal, oil and natural gas used.

Climate Change and Climate Change Adaptation : Generally Climate Change is a change in weather pattern, when that change lasts for an extended period of time. It has been already proven that CC is the consequence of unchecked pollution. Excessive carbon emission has dangerous effects on the environment, the economy and our wellbeing (Australian Conservation Foundation, 2014, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) The Climate science has already proved that CC is not just a temperature change. It has a huge impact on the planet. Sea level rise, natural calamity, Changing weather pattern, and many other adverse impacts will harm not only the human being but also other species of the earth. As the process has been started and it is not at all possible to get rid of the impacts of CC, that's why nowadays adaptation and mitigation of CC are the prominent issue.

Climate change affects all living things on the earth and is accelerating because of human activity. Climate change is happening right now, scientists are trying to figure out what is causing it, what the effects of climate change are, and they are researching how the atmosphere has changed. Climate change is classified by many different events and reactions that are happening. The first is that the earth's atmosphere is trapping more heat. "The warming of Earth's climate, due mostly to increased trapping of heat by gases in the atmosphere, often is termed the greenhouse effect. Some degree of greenhouse effect is natural and normal" (Lerner 3). Some percent of greenhouse gases are produced naturally but a majority of the gases are being produced by humans. "Most scientists agree that this warming trend is the result of loading the atmosphere with carbon dioxide and other heat– trapping gases" (Freedman 2). The atmosphere is being loaded with carbon dioxide and other harmful gases and this is making the atmosphere trap more heat. Changes in air temperature is another factor of climate change.

  • 72. Climate Change And Climate Adaptation One of the most challenging global issue facing today's society is climate change, it is affecting all regions across the globe, with some areas experiencing extreme weather events and heavy rainfall, whereas other regions are hit with droughts and heat waves. Climate change can be defined as a "large–scale, long–term shift in the planet's weather patterns or average temperatures." (metoffice). Consequently, a range of challenges are occurring to not only human settlements, but more importantly to the natural environment as well. It is becoming increasingly important for countries across the globe to attempt to adapt and mitigate from the effects of climate change. Climate mitigation is "any action taken to permanently eliminate or reduce the long–term risk and hazards of climate change to human life, property." (Global–greenhouse–warming.com). It can include enhancing the sinks of greenhouse gases, as well as reducing the sources. Whereas climate adaptation, is referring to "the ability of a system to adjust to climate change (including climate variability and extremes) to moderate potential damage, to take advantage of opportunities, or to cope with the consequences." (Global–greenhouse–warming.com). Adaptation can include improving road infrastructure, so it would be able to withstand hotter temperatures, or just simply change in behaviour shifts such as using less water. These two methods are essential and can be connected through strategic town planning, and can be used to tackle climate change, through an array of implementations which will not only prepare the globe, but also reduce the impacts of climate change. Urban areas not only have a profound part in contributing to climate change, but these areas have also become extremely vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, as more than half of the world's population are living in urban areas and global rate of urbanisation is evermore increasing. Cities can be met with an increase in frequency of storms, flooding, landslides and heat waves.

Yet in contrast to the slow pace of international negotiations to combat climate change, national legislation is still not keeping up. When Al Gore gave his Noble Peace prize acceptance speech; he was not only accepted an award but he was also speaking about the awareness of his main objective stopping climate change. He believes that drastic problem that's affecting every aspect of the planet is caused by the ones who need to be the ones to fix it. "We are what is wrong, and we must make it right." (Gore.2). Today we still at this tipping point where the planet must decide the future they want for upcoming generations, what solutions they need to be able to do before they pass the tipping point, and how much influence of society do the planet needs to get the job done. Al Gore put Climate Change into a perspective that the beginning of this century the planet that has been experiencing drastic changes they are causing deadly consequences everywhere and that mankind has so far no stable solution to ending the problem. This is important because to Al Gore believed that a few years ago the planet is at its "11 ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Swedish scientist, Svante Archenius was the first scientist to study the effect of CO2 on climate. (Rodhe et al 1997) The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) defines climate change as "A change in the state of the climate that can be identified (e.g by using statistical tests) by changes in mean and/or the variability of its properties and that persists for an extended period, typically, decades or longer. Climate change may be due to natural internal processes or external forcings, or anthropogenic changes in the composition of the atmosphere or in the landuse" The UNFCC also defines climate change as "a change of climate which is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere and which is in addition to natural climate variability observed over time periods." Climate change is influenced by the greenhouse effect which is the increase of Carbon dioxide, Methane, Ozone and Nitrogen Oxide. On one hand, the presence of these gases in the atmosphere make the earth habitable with respect to regulating the earth's temperature. However, an increase in the concentration of these gases results in trapping energy in the atmosphere and this in turn increases earth's temperature. "Global greenhouse gas emissions have grown since pre–industrial times, with an increase of 70% between ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Nevertheless, the most greenhouse gasses almost human being also contribute very lower amount towards the earth they produce by gass. The main properties which may cause of greenhouse gasses are given as water vapor or rain season which is give plants to be well germinated and better growth. Water is the main source of life people should care and protected from pollution, the best way which is best to cared is to increase the resources to made a better production water sourse of life so guide it well. Carbon dioxide (CO2), nitro oxide (N2O), methane (CH4) and ozone (O3) these major causes of greenhouses gasses on the earth atmosphere. Flooding emplacement due to heavy rain drops poisonous in the environment changes in climate people should be think wisely about the environment and more concerned of what should do to make and reduce the topic about climate climate change happen today. Thirdly, the agriculture and the development is greatly affected by the changing of climate changes in many ways.
