The average temperature of the earth’s surface is rising. According to the Natural Resources Canada: Overview of Climate Change in Canada‚ “the influence of anthropogenic climate change on Canada is evident in observed trends and temperatures simulated by global climate models” (Government of Canada)‚ which can have devastated impacts on humans (e.g. humans can die of heat stroke). The summer issue of Statistics Canada’s EnviroStats (2011) has a nation-wide survey on air conditioning. Surveys demonstrate

commonly looked over‚ indicators of anthropogenic climate change present in society today. Often these indicators are in connection with many other obvious‚ more recognized factors such as the emission of greenhouse gases or the drastic change in global temperatures. More specifically‚ ocean acidity can be looked at very closely to determine the severity of the situation of climate change‚ and how it is consistently affecting our planet’s marine ecosystems in a negative manner. Many studies have been

On the other end of the spectrum‚ there is the tropic regions that have an increase in water from storms. However‚ this increase of water might sound like a benefit‚ but many of the times this increase of water means that crops will be flooded‚ homes are destroyed and water supplies are containment from the overflow of sewers and fertilized fields. A higher frequency in storms cause much more stagnant water to occur‚ which can result in an increased mosquito population‚ and the increased risk of
