“Change is the Law of Nature”.Climate Change is a reality. It has changed in Past, is changing in Present and will change in Future. The variation and shifts in weather conditions over space and time of different scales and magnitude resulting into
changes of Climatic Type is defined as Climate Change.
The factor that affect climate are,Continental drift,Variation in the earth’s orbit,Plate tectonics,Volcanic activity,Ocean currents,Greenhouse Gases,Atmospheric Aerosols etc. It effect climate in different ways such as Higher Temperatures,Changing Landscapes,Wildlife/Ecosystem at Risk,Ocean acidification /Rising Seas level,Increased Risk of Drought, Fire and Floods,Intensified Storms and Increased Storm Damages,Illness and Disease,Economic Losses,Agriculture Productivity/Food Security etc.
This series of graphs depict the massive acceleration in human activity since 1950 and the impact this has had on the Earth system. This is part of the research of the International Geosphere Biosphere Programme

We are the students of Ahsanullah University of Science And Technology from civil Engineering department .We have prepared a presentation for our Environmental Engineering lll course to explain global warming and climate change.Global Warming and Climate Change is hot topic nowadays .So this presentation was made to discover main causes behind this situation . Is Anthropogenic or natural?? In this presentation we have tried to explain this .
Climate change refers to seasonal changes over a long period of time.
Worldwide, people are paying serious attention to climate change.
Because so many systems are tied to climate, such as, people, plants and animals live, such as food production, availability and use of water, and health risks.

How many people can comfortably fit into your car? What happens when you double that number? Can your car safely and comfortably carry you all? What about the planet? Everyone has to have someplace to live, they must eat, they must use the bathroom, take baths, cook, clean and do all the things we humans do. But what happens when there are too many people crowded into an area? Can the earth carry that load, so to speak? Should there be fewer people, or should people simply learn new and more efficient ways to use the resources we have available?
Sustainable Development Goals: Research Communication Ideas to Accelerate the...Gregor Hagedorn
Abstract: Our future has never been more threatened. Nuclear war was possible, but inaction was basically good enough to avoid it so far. Today, we additionally face the prospect of an overpopulated, undernourished, inequitable, resource-depleted (water, minerals, genes), unsustainable world with self-increasing global warming, and wars for survival. Inaction under these conditions is deadly, and we need to move fast, building a sustainable, decarbonized, circular economy. Researchers of all disciplines need to become active! Better information management and research communication is essential for this, with most of the actions discussed at this conference contributing towards this goal. However: Can we add specific actions? What research is needed most? Can we prioritize some research-related actions to fulfill the requirements of the Sustainable Development Goals? How can we enable, harness and synthesize contributions from all disciplines to that end? What changes to research culture and the way we communicate research does this entail? We will a) organize an unconference workshop Friday morning - please watch the announcement - and b) present the collected ideas.
On October 5th and 12th, the Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula's Climate Action Committee conducted an introductory session with community members covering its work on the Climate Action Plan.
l̂̂̂ î;The environmental revolution has been almost.docxSHIVA101531
l̂̂̂ î;
The environmental revolution has been almost
three decades in the making, and it has changed for-
ever how companies do business. In the 1960s and
1970s, corporations were in a state of denial regard-
ing their impact on the environment. Then a series
of highly visible ecological problems created a
groundswell of support for strict government regu-
lation. In the United States, Lake Erie was dead. In
Europe, the Rhine was on fire. In Japan, people were
dying of mercury poisoning.
Today many companies have accepted their re-
sponsibility to do no harm to the environment.
Products and production processes are becoming
cleaner; and where sueh change is under way, the
environment is on the mend. In the industrialized
nations, more and more companies are "going
green" as they realize that they can reduce pollu-
tion and increase profits simultaneously. We have
come a long way.
fer to as its carrying capacity. Increasingly, the
scourges of the late twentieth century-depleted
farmland, fisheries, and forests,- choking urban pol-
lution,- poverty; infectious disease; and migration-
are spilling over geopolitical borders. The simple
fact is this: in meeting our needs, we are destroying
the ability of future generations to meet theirs.
The roots of the problem-explosive population
growth and rapid economic development in the
emerging economies - are political and social issues
that exceed the mandate and the capabilities of any
corporation. At the same time, corporations are the
only organizations with the resources, the technol-
ogy, the global reach, and, ultimately, the motiva-
tion to achieve sustainability.
It is easy to state the case in the negative: faced
with impoverished customers, degraded environ-
ments, failing political systems, and unraveling
societies, it will be increasingly difficult for cor-
Strateqies for a Sustainable World
But the distance we've traveled will seem small
when, in 30 years, we look hack at the 1990s. Be-
yond greening lies an enormous challenge-and an
enormous opportunity. The challenge is to develop
a sustainable global economy: an economy that the
planet is capable of supporting indefinitely. Al-
though we may be approaching ecological recovery
in the developed world, the planet as a whole re-
mains on an unsustainable course. Those who
think that sustainability is only a matter of pollu-
tion control are missing the bigger picture. Even if
all the companies in the developed world were to
achieve zero emissions by the year 2000, the earth
would still be stressed beyond what biologists re-
porations to do business. But the positive case is
even more powerful. The more we learn about the
challenges of sustainability, the clearer it is that we
are poised at the threshold of a historic moment
in which many of the world's industries may be
transformed.
To date, the business logic for greening has been
largely operational or technical: bottom-up pollu-
tion-prevention programs have saved companies

Gore, Suziki as well as others blame climate change on man-made issues as way to push their own agenda. The fact is climate always changes. If you do not need to take my word, but you should listen to skeptics. These same skeptics are not funded by government

Problem with re-uploading. Previously Slideshare presentations could be edited and replaced. But in October 2017, this option was removed. Slideshare/LinkedIn explained: “We’re always looking for new ways to improve the SlideShare experience for our members. This sometimes means eliminating features to invest in others that offer greater value. As a part of this process, we are removing the ability to re-upload SlideShare files. You will still be able delete your older SlideShare files and upload new presentations. However, once you delete a SlideShare file you will not be able to retain the file URL, or view the file analytics.” What’s particularly irksome is the lack of any warning.

Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

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.

28. 25. Climate change is a global problem with grave implications: environmental,
social, economic, political and for the distribution of goods. It represents one of the
principal challenges facing humanity in our day. Its worst impact will probably be
felt by developing countries in coming decades. Many of the poor live in areas
particularly affected by phenomena related to warming, and their means of
subsistence are largely dependent on natural reserves and ecosystemic services
such as agriculture, fishing and forestry. They have no other financial activities or
resources which can enable them to adapt to climate change or to face natural
disasters, and their access to social services and protection is very limited. For
example, changes in climate, to which animals and plants cannot adapt, lead them to
migrate; this in turn affects the livelihood of the poor, who are then forced to leave
their homes, with great uncertainty for their future and that of their children. There
has been a tragic rise in the number of migrants seeking to flee from the growing
poverty caused by environmental degradation. They are not recognized by
international conventions as refugees; they bear the loss of the lives they have left
behind, without enjoying any legal protection whatsoever. Sadly, there is
widespread indifference to such suffering, which is even now taking place
throughout our world. Our lack of response to these tragedies involving our brothers
and sisters points to the loss of that sense of responsibility for our fellow men and
women upon which all civil society is founded.

they believe rising sea levels don’t matter,
