Running Head: CLIMATE CHANGE 1 CLIMATE CHANGE 8 Climate Change Heather Hale Rasmussen College Author Note This paper is being submitted on March 20, 2016, for James Marinello’s G328/EVR3410 Human Uses of the Environment course. Climate change is amongst the major environmental controversies there are. Several nations have addressed it, and most of them have failed. Climate change has been brought about by increased over pollution activities of people. However, this being amongst the minor causes, there are other to be taken care of. The United Nations has tried applying stringent measures to curb this, but it has shown no results. However, our population continues to increase day by day thus being a key contributing factor to climate change. From studies conducted before this, climate change can only be decreased by eradicating all the other controversies that exist. Comment by James Marinello: Out of all the major environmental controversies, climate change is one of the most discussed and debated in all forums. Comment by James Marinello: Grammar a little choppy. Comment by James Marinello: You need to clarify this further. I do not understand what you are trying to say. This controversy has become a threat to many governments since it is more than they can handle. The carrying capacity of a nation is always crucial to the government, and when a certain limit is broken, there are some tougher economic times to be expected. Climate change leads not only to the economic crisis, but it also plays a significant role in environmental degradation and most of all, human’s nature degradation. The reason as to why there is pollution can be all rooted back to overpopulation. So does unemployment, lack of enough resources, deforestation, amongst others. Also, unless there are stricter and faster measures to deal with this, the future is also at risk. Comment by James Marinello: Missing citations? According to the study conducted, climate change mostly refers to the overall relationship between the human species and the environment or nature (EDF, 2014). There are many reasons as to why climate change has come to be as discussed earlier. Since most of the earth are subdivided into nations, the controversy becomes more complicated. That is because each government has to come up with their means on which to eradicate or even reduce the currents problems they are facing. Some will work while some will not, therefore, making the planet un-even. This is what brings out risks of starvation, droughts of which are often claimed to be acts of nature. Comment by James Marinello: I don’t understand what you are trying to say. Organizations like NASA are on the forefront to ensure that climate change does not end up destroying the whole world. There are many outcomes that can be achieved by a change in the climate such as droughts therefore starvation. A st ...
