![[object Object],Robin Bell: Research scientist at Columbia University’s, Bell has set up eight major Antarctic expeditions. She studies ice sheets collapsing and melting. She was most likely chosen for background and studies of glaciers.<br />Ken Caldera: Professor at Stanford who studies acidification of the ocean, intervention on the climate systems, mass-extinction in earth’s past, and our carbon problems. I think this man was chose for his specific studies of the climate and past events of this.<br />Bill Easterling: Dean of the college of Earth and Mineral sciences at Pennsylvania State University. He studies how global warming could affect the earth’s food. This man was chosen for his knowledge on the temperatures affecting the world’s crops.<br />Stephen Schneider: Assesses impact of climate changes due to humans on the economy and ecology. He was chosen for the knowledge he possesses on how the climate can affect our economy.<br />,[object Object],Some predictions say climate change caused by humans could cause extinction in the ocean, redraw coastlines, and diminish food supplies If humans even had a part in global warming isn’t this just like other climate cycles? This is different because the North and South poles are losing ice into the ocean at the same time. Warming due to any natural cause usually takes place over millions of years unlike what is happening right now. Food demand is expected to be doubled for large increase in population later in the 21st century and it might not be possible to produce enough food. The ice sheets are decreasing and the global temperature went up .75 degrees Celsius. The potential effects of this are unknown. People need to take charge as leaders against fossil fuels and for safe energy. The change to none gas emitting energy could cost trillions. Most compelling reason global warming has to do with man is because the stratosphere is cooling while everything below it is being heated showing the gases are being trapped causing greenhouse effect.<br /> <br />,[object Object],After reading this article, describe how your current knowledge of climate change was altered or validated. Did you find anything particularly surprising? Did you disagree with anything? Share your thoughts and questions.<br />I understand and believe there is warming of the Earth going on, but I still do not see how man has majorly impacted the Earth’s climate to warming it so quickly. I believe warming could be caused by other factors such as plate tectonics and the Earth’s orbit around the sun. I would like to see specific proof that man is releasing all of these gases and it is not naturally coming from the Earth in far larger amounts than man can produce.<br />,[object Object],The data collected in those 2 years has obviously been able to show scientists more about what’s going on and what may be the main cause of the warming. Also those scientists have may looked back and changed their minds about something.<br />](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/stateoftheclimateaotwassignment-111006125428-phpapp02/85/State-of-the_climate_aotw_assignment-1-320.jpg)

Climate Change and Climate Science
The editorial discusses the importance of addressing climate change despite public confusion between weather and climate. While there is debate among scientists about details, models show that doubling pre-industrial carbon dioxide levels will likely increase average global temperatures by 2-5°C this century. Effects of warming are already apparent, such as shrinking glaciers and advancing plant/animal lifecycles. The AAAS symposium aims to clearly explain climate science to policymakers and the public.
Climate changes
The document discusses climate change and global warming based on reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It summarizes that global temperatures have risen 0.74°C between 1906 and 2005 according to the IPCC, causing sea level rise, shrinking glaciers and ice caps. The IPCC forecasts continued temperature rise of 2.5-10°F over the next century if greenhouse gas emissions are not reduced. The effects of climate change will vary by region but include risks from heat waves, flooding, drought and wildfires.
Jenny and Morgan 5
The document discusses global warming, its causes, and its impacts. It explains that the greenhouse effect traps heat in the atmosphere and causes global warming over time. Both natural factors like volcanoes and human factors like carbon dioxide emissions contribute to climate change by enhancing the greenhouse effect. Consequences of global warming include increased droughts, storms, and threats to food and water supplies. The document advocates reducing energy usage and planting trees to help mitigate the impacts of global warming.
Global Warming
The document discusses global warming, its causes, and potential consequences. It notes that the past few decades have been the hottest on record and that climate change denials have been disproven. The main cause of global warming is carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions trapping heat in the atmosphere. Burning fossil fuels for electricity and transportation are the primary sources of these emissions in the US. Consequences of continued warming may include more severe droughts and wildfires, rising sea levels, damage to agriculture and fisheries from heat waves and pests, and species extinction. Reducing emissions from activities like deforestation and transitioning to cleaner energy are necessary to address global warming.
Climate Science Explained by Team Norvergence
The document discusses climate change and its causes according to research by Team Norvergence. It finds that the planet's climate has cycled throughout history, but the global temperature has increased 1 degree Celsius in the last 120 years. Human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation have raised greenhouse gas levels exponentially compared to natural levels, influencing the climate. The influence of human emissions on climate change is now overwhelming and causing effects like ocean acidification.
Climate change
The document discusses climate change and the greenhouse effect. It notes that climate change is real and caused by human emissions of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels. Computer models consistently predict a 1-4 degree Celsius increase in global temperatures over the next 50-100 years if emissions continue. This level of warming would have catastrophic impacts and require dramatic changes to our energy systems. While models agree on warming, they show more uncertainty and variation in other climate impacts. Continued greenhouse gas emissions will cause further climate change, sea level rise, and impacts, with the magnitude depending on total emissions.
Global warming
Global warming is causing climate change that is impacting economies, health, and communities. Scientists warn that if steps are not taken to aggressively curb climate change, the results will be disastrous. Carbon dioxide and other pollutants are collecting in the atmosphere like a thickening blanket, trapping heat from the sun and causing the planet to warm at the fastest rate in recorded history. Unless emissions driving climate change are curbed, average U.S. temperatures could increase by 3 to 9 degrees by the end of the century.
Changing Climatic Factors
Climate describes typical weather conditions that prevail over extended periods in a region, while weather describes the hourly or daily conditions. Climate change is identified by long-term shifts in temperature, precipitation, winds and other indicators. The IPCC reported in 2007 that the climate is changing rapidly due to human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation being the primary factors. If aggressive action is not taken to reduce emissions, global temperatures could rise significantly by 2100 leading to major impacts.

The student is asked to produce a report of no more than 800 words to clear up the debate on climate change.
Climate-Change by (Christian Darius Paulino)
This document discusses climate change, including its causes, effects, and prevention. It is caused by both natural factors like variations in solar radiation and volcanic eruptions, as well as human activities that release greenhouse gases. Scientists study climate change using observations and models to understand past and predict future climate. To prevent dangerous climate change, developed countries need to cut greenhouse gas emissions 60-80% by 2050 through greater efficiency, use of less harmful alternatives, and sequestration technologies that capture emissions.
Global cooling
The document discusses the debate between global warming and global cooling. It argues that global cooling, rather than warming, is currently happening based on recent temperature data and the author's personal experiences on their family farm in India. While acknowledging global warming beliefs, the author claims the scientific evidence supports global cooling due to decreased sunspot activity and the resulting increase in cosmic rays and cloud formation.
Emma dean isabella fuscellaro 2
Climate change refers to long-term shifts in weather patterns due to global warming, which is an increase in average temperatures caused by greenhouse gases. The greenhouse effect occurs when gases like carbon dioxide trap heat in the atmosphere. If human activities that release greenhouse gases are not reduced, the Earth could warm by 7.2 degrees by 2100, with serious consequences like disrupted weather, rising sea levels, and damage to plants and animals. While some argue efforts to reduce emissions will be expensive, the costs of inaction include worse agricultural output and more natural disasters. The document concludes that humans should take action to minimize their contributions to climate change.
Norm snell climate change
Climate change is evidenced by trends in global temperature and precipitation patterns over time. These changes reflect gradual shifts in climatic patterns driven by natural systems like the carbon cycle, hydrological cycle, and atmospheric circulation. Projections of future climate are based on trends from the past and climate modeling, and indicate further changes to these natural systems and elements like global temperatures, sea levels, and extreme weather events due to human-caused greenhouse gas emissions.
Global Warming
In this Slide show, I tried to show about all the factors which causes Global Warming in an attractive way.
Climate change
Human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation are now the dominant cause of increasing global temperatures in recent decades. To mitigate climate change, humans must minimize activities that impact the climate like CO2 emissions and instead follow the principles of reduce, reuse, and recycle in order to gradually allow the Earth to recover.
Climate change
Congress accepts the scientific findings that climate change is occurring due to increases in global temperatures, melting ice and snow, and rising sea levels. Climate change refers to lasting changes in weather patterns over decades or longer. While some areas have experienced cooler weather, data from NASA and NOAA show the Earth has warmed 1.2-1.4°F over the past century, with the eight warmest years on record occurring since 1998. Most of the recent warming is very likely due to human activities like increased greenhouse gas emissions.
Exhibit 3
The burning of fossil fuels has enhanced the greenhouse effect and warmed the Earth. Scientists use the term "climate change" instead of global warming to describe how rising global temperatures cause winds and ocean currents to redistribute heat around the world, leading to changes in temperature and precipitation patterns in different regions. Greenhouse gas levels and global temperatures have remained fairly stable for thousands of years but have recently increased, indicating human activity is impacting the climate.
DAV PUBLIC SCHOOL - Climate change2
Climate change is a significant change in weather patterns over long periods of time that can be caused by both natural factors and human activities like greenhouse gas emissions. Scientists study climate change by analyzing physical evidence from various climate proxies like ice cores, sediment records, and historical documents to understand past climates and make projections about future climate change. Global warming due to increased greenhouse gases is causing sea levels to rise through thermal expansion of the oceans and melting of glaciers and ice sheets, threatening coastal areas with flooding and erosion.
Felicia, Evan, Austin 2
The document discusses global warming, climate change, and the greenhouse effect. It defines each term and explains their relationship to rising temperatures on Earth's surface and atmosphere over the long term due to human activity like burning fossil fuels. Potential consequences of increased global warming are mentioned, like rising sea levels and more extreme weather, as are some ways to reduce human-caused climate change through actions like using less energy and driving less. Different views on whether global warming is a natural cycle or human-caused are also presented.
Climate change
Climate is defined as the general weather patterns of a region, including variables such as temperature, humidity, wind and precipitation. The climate of the world is changing rapidly due to both natural factors like variations in the sun's output, continental drift and volcanic eruptions, as well as man-made factors like increased greenhouse gas emissions from sources such as vehicle exhaust, oil refineries and forest fires. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor trap heat in the lower atmosphere, causing global warming and leading to problems such as more droughts and floods, less ice and snow, extreme weather, and rising sea levels. Urgent action is needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and slow the impacts of climate change.
Alec and Raul period 5
The document discusses global warming, climate change, and the greenhouse effect. It explains that greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane trap heat in the lower atmosphere, causing global warming and climate change over time. While some effects may appear positive, like longer growing seasons, global warming is largely caused by human emissions and will have severe consequences like rising sea levels and ecosystem damage if left unaddressed. Some ways to reduce global warming include using less energy and driving less. While most scientists agree that human activity is causing climate change, there are dissenting opinions.

James Connaughton, Chairman of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, wrote a letter to the editor to clarify statements made about the U.S. Climate Action Report 2002. The letter notes that while the report presents uncertainties, it is consistent with previous statements by President Bush acknowledging rising temperatures and greenhouse gases primarily due to human activity. It also restates that the administration's policies prudently address climate change given the current limits of scientific knowledge, through programs reducing emissions and billions invested in research each year.
DAV PUBLIC SCHOOL
Climate change refers to significant and long-lasting changes in weather patterns over decades or millions of years that may include changes in average conditions or more extreme weather events. It is caused by both natural factors like ocean circulation, solar radiation, tectonic and volcanic activities as well as human factors currently causing global warming and climate change through human alterations of the environment. On a broad scale, the balance between incoming and outgoing energy from the sun determines Earth's equilibrium temperature and climate.
Presentationprowess Eric Andrews
The document presents perspectives from various experts on the topic of global warming:
1) Some experts see global warming as a serious threat caused by human greenhouse gas emissions that will have damaging effects like rising sea levels and health impacts.
2) Other experts argue that surface temperatures have not risen significantly since 1940 and that natural factors primarily influence the climate, questioning the evidence and immediacy of threats from global warming.
3) There are disagreements among experts about the causes and potential impacts of global warming, with views ranging from it posing certain disaster to things continuing as normal.
Powerpoint for lib 100
The effects of climate change on the Arctic include rising average temperatures that are twice as fast as elsewhere in the world, potentially leading to ice-free summers in the Arctic by 2100. This rapid warming threatens hundreds of Arctic species and could wipe some out if it continues. Higher temperatures also cause sea levels to rise by 7 to 13 inches by 2100 due to melting ice, threatening coastal areas by moving coastlines back several miles.

Topic:
Adverse effects of global warming and what can be done to reduce it?
Climate_change_theories.pdf
This document outlines seven theories of climate change, beginning with the theory of anthropogenic (human-caused) global warming (AGW). The AGW theory holds that increasing emissions of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide, from human activities like burning fossil fuels are the primary driver of the global warming observed over the past 50 years. It asserts that positive feedback loops amplify the initial warming effects of greenhouse gases. Proponents argue nearly all the 0.7°C increase in global temperatures over the past century can be attributed to human greenhouse gas emissions.
A Brief Note On Floods And Its Effects On Human Beings
Global warming is increasing the likelihood and severity of droughts in California. The frequency of drought years has doubled in the last 20 years due to higher temperatures rather than precipitation changes. Climate models project that by 2030, all dry years will coincide with warmer conditions, heightening drought risk. Previous droughts in California were not as severe, and future conservation efforts may not prevent water shortages as demand is already close to 1977 levels.

Swechha Shukla has presented a paper "London Colder than Antarctica" - Unusual Trends of Global Cooling. It drawn attention on changes in northern hemispheres and successfully conveyed that snowfall and avalanches are the results of global changes and not local incidents. Vernacular Newspaper "Danik Bhaskar" has covered her paper with photograph on 18th February, 2010.
Climate change and global warming by Lauren and Kerry
Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane trap heat in the atmosphere, causing global warming and climate change over long periods. Human activities like burning fossil fuels have increased greenhouse gas levels, enhancing the greenhouse effect and warming the planet. This is evidenced by rising temperatures, shrinking Arctic ice, and more extreme weather. If unchecked, climate change poses serious threats to societies and ecosystems through impacts like rising seas, stronger storms, worsening droughts and wildfires, and food shortages.
Dean r berry global warming revised 6 8-2018
This document provides an overview of a presentation on global warming that discusses its causes and effects. The presentation encourages students to research and discuss whether global warming is occurring and what factors may be contributing to it. If human activities like burning fossil fuels are largely responsible, students are asked to consider what actions could be taken to reduce global warming, such as transitioning to renewable energy sources and reducing carbon emissions.
Global Warming Natural 1 KCandTC
The document discusses several natural factors that could be causing climate changes mistakenly attributed to global warming, including the Earth's decreasing axial tilt and increasing orbital ellipticalness, which are leading to more neutral seasons and extreme warming in spring and fall. It also notes a scientist's claim that the climate system is resistant to human greenhouse gas emissions and there is no solid evidence that global warming is caused by humans rather than natural causes.
Global Warming An Inconvenient Truth
The document discusses global warming and its potential causes. It summarizes the mainstream scientific view that increasing greenhouse gas emissions from human activities like fossil fuel burning are the main driver of increased global temperatures over the past century. However, the author's objective is to determine whether natural factors like variations in solar activity could be a more significant cause than anthropogenic greenhouse gases. The methodology proposed is to gather additional satellite temperature data, greenhouse gas emission data, and solar irradiance data to compare trends and identify the most influential cause of warming.

Global warming
Global warming is caused primarily by human emissions of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane. These emissions are warming the planet at an unprecedented rate, leading to consequences like rising sea levels, more extreme weather, and species extinction. While some skeptics deny the science or argue the impacts will not be severe, most scientists warn that immediate action is needed to reduce emissions and avoid catastrophic climate change. Individual actions to reduce our carbon footprints and support political solutions can help address the global climate crisis.
Smc Newsletter February 06
The document discusses several key points regarding climate change:
1) The scientific consensus is that Earth's climate is changing due to human activities like burning fossil fuels, and effects could include more extreme weather events and sea level rise.
2) Past climate records show the climate can change abruptly, and warming oceans and melting permafrost could trigger the release of large stores of greenhouse gases like methane, further accelerating climate change.
3) Recent observations and data suggest climate change may be happening faster than expected, as melting Siberian permafrost and reduced ocean plankton populations weaken natural sinks for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Global Climate Change
Global climate change refers to long-term changes in average weather patterns globally. Scientists agree that climate change is caused by human greenhouse gas emissions which trap heat in the lower atmosphere. While precipitation and temperature data show the climate is changing, the terms "global warming" and "climate change" mean different things to some groups. For many, climate change is a more encompassing term that global warming.

1. Find 2 scientific articles (with opposing viewpoints) which address the above question and post a 250 word summary on each.
Article 1: Evidence of glacial retreat due to climate change
According to the National Snow & Ice Data Center, glaciers have been receding since around 1760 and are predicted to completely vanish within the next few decades. They attribute this to the 40% increase in carbon dioxide in our atmosphere, caused by emissions from human activities like transportation and industry. Coal, petroleum, and other fossil fuels like methane are trapping heat in the atmosphere (greenhouse gases), which are causing glacial retreat. Other human activities like farming and the burning of forests are also attributed to glacial retreat (National Snow & Ice Data Center).
The article cites that evidence of glacial retreat can be found in the cores of glaciers and ice sheets. Especially important are trapped air bubbles, which contain clues to the history of our atmosphere and historical changes in our climate. Ice cores have provided the evidence of past Ice Ages and may point to how climate might change in the coming years (National Snow & Ice Data Center).
The article cites two specific examples of glacial retreat. In the Himalayan Mountains of Bhutan, lakes have appeared and the glaciers have been receding in past decades. As well, the Gangotri Glacier in the Uttarkashi District of Garwhal Himalaya has receded over 850 meters in 25 years. Its retreat began in 1780 and markedly sped up after 1971 (National Snow & Ice Data Center).
Article 2: Non-human causes are implicated in glacial melt
I had difficulty finding a scientific article disproving the human effect on glacial retreat, but I did find one article from Futurism.com covering a report (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. from Springer Nature Publishing AG, which pointed to non-human related causes for glacial melt.
The point of the article basically states that glacial melting is not solely caused by human activities, but also are caused by "natural factors." By analyzing climate model simulations, researchers tried to determine how much of glacial retreat was caused by man-made global warming, and how much was caused by "natural" variables. The researchers estimated that natural variables are causing from 40-50 percent of ice melt (Houser).
According to the article, NASA calculates that since 1971, we have lost 21,000 square miles of sea ice, and the ice melt contributes to real consequences like extreme weather, global warming, and rising sea levels. The article ends by stating that regardless of how much human beings are to blame, human beings must try to do something to stop the advancement of glacial melt, due to its world-changing effects (Houser).
2. Which position do you agree with and why?
Article 1 cited evidence that the glaciers are in fact melting (showing two glaciers in the Himalayas) and correlated the rise of human industrial activities with .

When air rises and expands, it cools through adiabatic processes. This cooling can cause water vapor in the air to condense into clouds and precipitate out as rain, snow, sleet or hail depending on temperature levels. Clouds are classified based on their height and physical structure into cirrus, altostratus and nimbostratus clouds that form at high, middle and low altitudes respectively.
3jlaubach
Unequal heating of the Earth's surface causes air temperatures to change without a change in energy. This leads some parts of the Earth to be warmer or cooler than others. When warm air rises and is blocked or forced upward by cooler air, various cloud types can form through condensation. Precipitation occurs through processes like collision-coalescence in warm clouds or Bergeron process in mixed-phase clouds, forming rain, snow, sleet, hail, or freezing rain depending on temperature.
