This movie shows the dramatic effects of global warming through photographs presented by Al Gore, such as shrinking glaciers on Mount Kilimanjaro and the Himalayas. While the viewer was aware of global warming, the film revealed the true extent of the damage, such as dry lake beds that no longer exist. The images are shocking but thinking that natural disasters killing millions were caused by humanity is even worse. Scientists now say hurricanes will increase in number and power each year, bringing more pests and disease. The film is excellent because it displays the damage of global warming and offers solutions like reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The document discusses several issues caused by climate change, including droughts and desert expansion, flooding, rising sea levels, changing ocean salinity levels, and rising sea temperatures. It notes that droughts will intensify and new areas will experience drought, deserts will expand as areas dry out, and flooding will increase due to climate shifts and more rainfall. Rising seas will submerge coastal lands and infrastructure and force population migration. Changing ocean salinity from melting glaciers will disrupt marine ecosystems and fishing economies. Rising sea temperatures will alter ocean currents and climate patterns on land and sea.

The document summarizes student responses to questions about climate change from a campus discussion at a university. Several students note observing impacts of a warming climate like less snow, more severe weather damaging farms, and changing ski conditions. Responses on how the country should react included the US becoming a global leader in reducing emissions, international agreements on emissions, increasing education, and individuals reducing their carbon footprint. The discussion aims to bring awareness to climate impacts and need for mitigating climate change through collective action.
Resilience and Change in the Aftermath of Floods: The case of Somerset
1) The document discusses resilience and change in Somerset, England after major floods in 2013/2014. It analyzes problem framings around the floods from institutional, public, and social perspectives.
2) Public problem framings cited neglect of drainage maintenance and land use changes as contributing factors, while institutions largely framed it as an extreme rainfall event.
3) Social divisions existed between environmentalists, landowners, and draining communities over land management. The floods sparked social and political action demanding drainage system dredging.
4) Governance processes for flood recovery involved partnership between local agencies and communities, but risked perpetuating structural inequalities if not implemented with nuanced civic engagement.
Reflection- Tiffany Uy
The document discusses the balance and harmony within ecosystems, with various organisms interacting and nutrient cycling occurring. However, this balance is being disrupted by increasing greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, causing global warming. Global warming leads to problems in the Philippines like more frequent El Nino droughts and stronger typhoons. While human activities may not be solely responsible for current warming, they are accelerating the problem. Individual actions are not enough; collective action is needed to mitigate the effects of climate change and adapt to expected impacts like rising sea levels.

Climate Change Upload
The climate change refers to changes in modern climate caused primarily by global warming due to high levels of CO2 in the atmosphere. It affects the poles the most where temperatures are rising quickly, melting ice and snow, and also impacts mountains. The effects include a rise in sea levels of over 10 meters from melting poles that could flood coastal cities, changes in rainfall that may lead to droughts, and mass death of plants and animals potentially resulting in food shortages and loss of human lives. The primary causes are pollution that is increasing sun's heat on earth, destruction of the ozone layer, and wasteful energy usage.

Climbing for Water - 7 Summits for Water project
The Climbing for Water Foundation aims to raise awareness and funds for water projects in mountain communities through their "7 Summits for Water" project. They will use expeditions to the seven highest mountain peaks on each continent to spread information about increasing water problems in mountains due to factors like climate change. Funds raised will support local water projects, as the foundation believes all people have a right to clean drinking water. They invite sponsors to join in their mission by providing financial support for implementation of water capture and storage solutions, which are challenging but key to ensuring access to water.
Global Warming By Lauraige+Soph
Global warming is caused by CFCs building up in the atmosphere and thinning the ozone layer, allowing more sunlight to pass through and melt polar ice caps. This causes sea levels to rise and increases natural disasters. Weather refers to short-term conditions in a specific area, while climate describes conditions over long periods of time. Global warming is linked to more tsunamis, cyclones, floods and droughts, and sea levels have already risen 59cm in the last 100 years and will continue to rise without reducing pollution.

Climate Change Anytown 13676
The document outlines a task for students to research and report on climate change issues affecting a fictional coastal town called Anytown that has experienced increased flooding. Students are asked to address why flooding is occurring more often, how the community can plan for future floods, if flooding is likely to worsen, and how residents can help reduce extreme weather events. The document provides links to research topics like global warming, air pollution, renewable energy, household waste, transport, and wildlife/biodiversity.
Ed statement [e]
The document discusses the impact of climate change on cities and the opportunities for cities to address climate change through mitigation and adaptation strategies. It notes that over half the world's population lives in cities and that number will rise to two-thirds by 2050. Climate disasters particularly affect urban areas and could create 200 million environmental refugees by 2050. However, cities also present opportunities to address climate change through measures like urban planning, building codes, and reducing fossil fuel use for transportation. Working to develop climate strategies and access funding can help cities better adapt to climate risks.

Group 11 Water Pollution
Water pollution is a growing crisis that threatens human health and the environment. If not addressed, increasing water pollution will exacerbate water scarcity and result in more deaths from water-borne diseases. The major causes of water pollution are sewage, fertilizers and other toxins entering water systems. With the global population rising, efforts must start now to reduce pollution through better waste disposal and water treatment in order to preserve accessible water supplies for the future.
Climate change & capitalism
This document discusses the relationship between climate change and capitalism. It argues that (I) climate change is directly caused by the current social structure of capitalism, and (II) capitalism cannot deal with meaningful solutions to climate change. It further argues that (III) a climate change catastrophe is inevitable given these factors. It provides rationale for these arguments, citing sources that discuss how capitalism prioritizes capital accumulation and economic growth over environmental concerns. The document concludes that climate change is irreversible and that mainstream solutions are insufficient, advocating instead for social and economic changes like reduced consumption and accumulation.

Professor Robert McLeman discusses three challenges in assessing climate-related migration and losses and damages. Data on migration is often inconsistent in quality and coverage. Climate-related migration is complex with multiple causes and directions of movement. Three scenarios are presented: discrete extreme events which can provide clear calculations; cumulative events which are harder to assess; and how to address voluntary migration versus involuntary displacement.
Environment By Jorge Enrique Velazquez
The document discusses the importance of caring for the environment. It notes that the environment provides the essential elements like air, water, and sunlight that allow life to exist. However, many people and industries do not care about the damage they cause through pollution and toxic emissions. While some support destructive industries for money, others fight against environmental destruction. If everyone works together to care for the planet, reducing greed and pollution, the world can become united in protecting the environment for future generations.
Let's Kick Carbon Di's "Boxide"
The document provides tips for small actions individuals can take to help address global warming, such as changing light bulbs to energy efficient bulbs, not letting water run unnecessarily, and only running the dishwasher with a full load. These small actions can save money while helping the environment. The document also notes that the average American spends over 2 hours per day on leisure activities, so taking just a few minutes to engage in behaviors that reduce carbon emissions can make a positive impact. Global warming is caused mainly by rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and these increased CO2 levels will lead to problems like more extreme weather and the spread of diseases.
Effect of greenery in Thermal Comfort
This study examined the effect of greenery on thermal comfort in different microclimates in Sri Lanka. Temperature and humidity were measured in buildings surrounded by either greenery or low greenery in Colombo, Kandy, and Nuwara Eliya over a 10 hour period. The results showed that temperature was 1 degree Celsius lower in greenery areas compared to low greenery areas in urban Colombo. Greenery also had a greater impact on temperature in lower altitude areas than higher altitude places. In conclusion, greenery plays an important role in creating a more environmentally friendly and comfortable living environment for people.
Global warming-adam
Global warming is caused primarily by increased greenhouse gas emissions from human activities like burning fossil fuels. This is leading to rising global temperatures and sea levels, changing precipitation patterns, and more extreme weather events. While individual behaviors can help reduce emissions, the largest contributions come from corporations. To effectively prevent further global warming, governments need to implement strict emission laws, apply public pressure on corporations, and raise awareness of the growing threats from this problem.
Reaction paper of an inconvenience truth.
1) The documentary An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore provided the author with a deeper understanding of global warming and the consequences of failing to address it.
2) Gore effectively defined and described global warming in a way that was understandable, even for non-experts. He presented factual information along with humor and messages of hope.
3) The documentary showed how changes in the Earth's topography and environment were caused by global warming resulting from increased greenhouse gases trapping heat in the atmosphere. It highlighted the need to take action to address the climate crisis facing our planet.

The Humanoid Effect
The document discusses how global warming has led to rising temperatures and melting ice sheets over the last century, with scientists establishing that high carbon dioxide levels are the main cause. Global warming poses life-threatening risks and is primarily human-caused due to technological advances, though some debate whether it is natural or man-made remains. The public has been influenced by media to be less concerned about global warming, but scientists warn it needs urgent action.
The Threats of Climate Change
The document discusses the threats of climate change, including the exacerbation of extreme weather like droughts and hurricanes, damage to ecosystems such as coral reefs and polar regions, and potential economic harm. While some argue climate change is part of a natural cycle, the majority of scientists agree human activity has increased carbon dioxide levels and contributed to climate change. The document concludes that climate change poses serious risks and society must address it to avoid deaths, infrastructure destruction, species extinction, and economic impacts.
Global warming causes and effects
Global warming poses serious threats to human health and the environment. Individual actions like reducing energy usage and advocating for sustainable policies can help address the problem. Nurses are well-positioned to educate about impacts of climate change and encourage solutions through their work in communities, organizations, and with policymakers. Collective efforts are needed at all levels to mitigate global warming and its effects.

Though Egypt is safe from many natural disasters like volcanoes and earthquakes, the country faces threats from climate change, water shortages, and food shortages. Climate change has caused abnormal temperature fluctuations in Egypt and poses risks to agriculture, which could lead to food shortages. It can disrupt rainfall patterns, exacerbating existing water shortages in Egypt. Preserving drinking water supplies is important as water levels in the Nile are decreasing visibly. Disease outbreaks also threaten plants and agriculture.
Day one weather and climate change
This document discusses the difference between weather and climate and provides information about climate change. It notes that climate change gases stay in the atmosphere for 100 years, so efforts are needed to stop emitting more and take actions to reduce the harmful effects of past emissions. The technology to reverse global warming is 90% available now and the remaining 10% will be available in less than 5 years. Previous efforts to protect the ozone layer and reduce acid rain were successful, so working together climate change can be addressed as well.
In the film
In the documentary "An Inconvenient Truth", Al Gore explains the phenomenon of global warming and its effects. He discusses how the Earth and oceans are warming, precipitation patterns are changing causing floods in some areas and droughts in others, and Arctic ice caps are melting threatening polar bears. While some changes may seem natural, the evidence shows that human activity is largely responsible for the current negative environmental changes through things like fossil fuel use. It is important that people learn to care for the planet, as the Earth provides everything needed to sustain life, and failure to address these problems could have severe consequences in the future if no action is taken.

Changes in weather patterns are affecting the world through more extreme natural disasters like hurricanes, tsunamis, wildfires and drought. A rise in global temperatures of just 1-2 degrees will have devastating impacts, making storms more severe and increasing flooding and destruction. Individual actions like using energy efficient light bulbs, line drying clothes, and walking instead of driving can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change.

An inconvenient truth opinion
- 1. An inconvenient truth I believe that this movie is a good way to show the damage that we are causing to our planet and the important changes that it is suffering. Many of us know about what global warming is but perhaps not everyone knows that the damage of our planet is being caused by us. For this reason this movie shows the dramatic changes of the earth, for example the photographs that Mr. Al Gore presents about Mt. Kilimanjaro and Himalaya Mountains show the contrast between the before and after of them due to the fact that in previous years they were covered with snow and now they are almost dry, another example are the lakes that today did not exist because they are totally dry. I knew that global warming was a very important issue because of the damage that our planet was suffering but I did not know how big this damage was before to see this movie. It is also important to mention that the images of this movie are really shocking, but thinking that the natural disasters that happened in the previous years were caused by global warming and that millions of people died in flooding, hurricanes, droughts and storms were caused for us, is even worse. We have to do something to stop the damage but in some years it can become be worse and the heat waves, the hurricanes, the flooding, the storms and all the other natural disasters will be harder. Nowadays, Scientifics state that the number of hurricanes will increase per year and the tropical storms can pick up more energy and become more powerful, they also affirm that some cities will face troublesome new pests and more mosquito borne disease, without mention some other predictions. To sum up, it is important to report that this is an excellent movie because it not only displays the damage of the global warming but also it shows some easy solutions to solve this problem; one of them “to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions”.
