COURSE : Junior

1. Background
1.1. One of the most vigorously debated topics on Earth is the issue of climate change, and the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) data centers are central to answering some of the most pressing global change questions that remain unresolved. The National Climatic Data Center contains the instrumental and paleoclimatic records that can precisely define the nature of climatic fluctuations at time scales of a century and longer.

Among the diverse kinds of data platforms whose data contribute to NCDC's resources are: Ships, buoys, weather stations, weather balloons, satellites, radar and many climate proxy records such as tree rings and ice cores. The National Oceanographic Data Center contains the subsurface ocean data which reveal the ways that heat is distributed and redistributed over the planet.

Knowing how these systems are changing and how they have changed in the past is crucial to understanding how they will change in the future. And, for climate information that extends from hundreds to thousands of years, paleoclimatology data, also available from the National Climatic Data Center, helps to provide longer term perspectives.

Listed below is information based upon common questions addressed to climate scientists (based on IPCC reports and other research) in common, understandable language. This list will be periodically updated, as new scientific evidence comes to light.

2. Hypothesis
2.1. The theory of Global Warming will be supported by an analysis of historical temperature records for the past fisty years

3. Method
3.1.

    • Many of the climate events we have discussed require an understanding of ocean and atmospheric circulation, the notion of feedbacks, forcings (the difference in how much energy is absorbed and how much is released), thresholds, and oceanic and longer-term carbon cycling processes (1000 years to overturn). If these terms make you nervous then you want to look back over the relevant set of note.…

    What was needed was the global change model called EdGCM (http://edgcm.columbia.edu/). In EdGCM, Snowfall, Precipitation, and Ocean Mixed- Layer Temperature were used to see different outcomes of North America’s change in climate. Then, three different time periods were run through the program to project the results. The time periods were: 1958-1962, 2008-2012, and 2058-2062. The time periods were then compared with their respective data. Precipitation and Ocean Mixed-Layer Temperature were compared in dates 1958-1962 versus 2008-2012 and 2008-2012 versus 2058-2062. Once the maps and the data was collected and compared, the change over time was apparent.…

    Anthropogenic climate change is an establishment phenomenon. Within the scientific community, the question is no longer whether climate change will occur, but at what rate, with what effects, and what, if anything, we can do about it. The biggest culprit in climate change is an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide, which is generated primarily through burning fossils. Earth’s average temperature is based on daily measurements taken at several thousand land based meteorological stations around the world, as well as data from weather balloons, orbiting satellites, transoceanic ships, and hundreds of sea surface buoys with temperature sensors. Scientists around the world have researched global climate change for several decades. As the evidence has accumulated, the most qualified to address the issue have concluded that temperatures have increased over the past century, that it is extremely unlikely that natural causes can explain the warming, and the human produced greenhouse gases are the plausible explanation for the warming that has occurred.…

    Vostok Ice core report

    Global warming has been widely discussed all around the world as it is an issue that affects the living of all mankind in the world. It is argued that the ‘anthropogenic’ changes posse more influence on the climate change to the Earth, compared to the ‘naturally driven’ glacial and interglacial changes in temperature. This report is based on the Vostok Core by faculty at Columbia University as an example for us to investigate global climate change. Author of this report believes global warming is just part of the long term temperature fluctuation during the interglacial period as there is no convincing and valid evidence that shows human activities are the only reason of the raise of global mean temperature.…

    Climate change is controversial for a myriad number of reasons, but the main controversy is is it real. According to Sallie Baliunas, Ph.D. and Senior Scientist at George C. Marshall Institute, the warming of the earth is not due to human-made greenhouse gases. Furthermore, Baliunas asserts sunspots and the natural cycles of warming and cooling in the Pacific cause it. Baliunas makes this argument by deducing from from scientific studies, facts, and computer models; presenting the studies and models about El Niño and Pacific Decadal Oscillation, and presenting with scientific and authentic diction.…

    How is the scientific data temperature increases collected and how do we learn about the affects changing temperatures could have on our planet? To conduct its analysis scientists collect data from multiple sites including: ship-based and satellite observation of sea temperature, meteorological stations around the world, and Antarctic research station measurements. The affects generated from this data can then be used to create hypothetical but scientifically y supported theories to what the impact the changing temperature could have on the earth.…

    Climate change means any significant, long-term change in the expected patterns of average weather of a specific region, or even the whole world over a significant period of time. It describes changes in the state of the atmosphere over time, scales ranging from decades to millions of years. Data shows that earth’s average air temperature has changed by about 1.4 degrees fahrenheit (Citation). Climate change is about abnormal variations into the climate, and the effects of these variations on other parts of the Earth. One example is the melting of the ice caps at the South Pole and North Pole. These changes may take tens, hundreds or perhaps millions of years.…

    Lung cancer is the number one form of deadly cancer in the United States. It is not only something that can kill you but also can put a strain on you and your family financially, emotionally, and medically. Lung cancer is formed when the cells of the lungs grow in an uncontrolled way, this creates a lump or a tumor which can either be malignant (cancerous) or benign (not cancerous). Radon gases, smoking, and second hand smoke cause lung cancer.…
