Climate change refers to the rise in average surface temperatures on Earth caused by factors like greenhouse gases, melting glaciers, deforestation, and human activities that emit greenhouse gases. The document outlines the causes of climate change and proposes that we can prevent further climate change by stopping activities that emit greenhouse gases and preserving forests and vegetation that absorb carbon dioxide. It questions whether preventing further climate change is actually possible.

“The future of climate change adaptation: reflections on the 1.5ºC report on the impacts of global warming”, Prof. Daniela Jacob, Director, Climate Service Center Germany, Helmholtz-Zentru
Climate change is one of society's greatest threats. This was an overview presentation given on the science and solutions to a student audience at the World Bank on January 15, 2015, to inspire youth to take on climate change. The presentation was given as part of a workshop at which Lucia Grenna introduced the Connect4Climate program and Rachel Kyte, Vice President and Special Envoy for Climate Change at the World Bank, gave a personal account of what is need to take on the challenge, considering that 2015 is such an important year. The students went on do discuss their role for climate action, and brainstormed how best to enhance the Sport4Climate initiative of Connect4Climate.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
