pretty irrelevant in the world today‚ its break off from the ancient supercontinent Gondwanaland 30 million years ago‚ played a crucial role in stabilizing the climate for human life. In particularly‚ Its separation from South America created water gaps which allowed winds to sweep around the world.In addition‚ the separation created a cooler climate more stabilized for human life (Linden‚ 35). It was not until 5‚000 years ago when urban societies developed laying the foundations for civilizations.

Position Paper 1: Global Climate Change – Is climate change a natural phenomenon or caused by man? There has been some discussion and debate over the causes of global climate change and particularly‚ the causative forces that have contributed to the measured increase in the mean atmospheric temperature over the last several decades. Many researchers and climatologists have concluded‚ using climate modeling systems that the main cause is anthropogenic (man caused). Other researchers have

?SOLUTIONS TO CLIMATE CHANGE IN ALASKA? Scientists believe that a decrease of between 65% and 80% of carbon dioxide emissions is necessary to prevent the effects of global warming (?Carbon Dioxide?) and government taking actions to find solutions in Alaska. To create awareness the government has released new climate data‚ tools‚ and mapping of Alaska that will assist them to understand and prepare for future climate change (Wuebbles and Jain 2001 p. 99-102).

Global Warming is Real and Human Caused.” Skeptic 17 (2012): 2. This article was written following an opinionated editorial that was published challenging the evidence of human-induced climate change. In this article there are numerous lines of evidence that the author claims leans toward the fact that global climate change is manmade. He states that carbon dioxide in our atmosphere has increased over the last 200 years. With this evidence compared to ice cores revealing direct measurements over the

common arguments used by climate change skeptics. There is both human caused and non-human caused climate changes. Global warming may be a hoax or due to changes in nature. Natural changes such as sunspots and orbital change has had an effect on climate. Sun spots have been investigated since the 1800’s. Research published by the Journal of Atmospherics and solar terrestrial physics have concluded “the sun has a significant role to play in long-term and short-term climate change.” Another reason

Consequences of Climate Change: Consequentialism and Environmental Ethics A somewhat commonly held concern is that consequentialism is an inadequate moral theory for tackling the issue of climate change. In this paper I will argue that consequentialism can successfully respond to climate change by‚ at times‚ evaluating the morality of character traits instead of actions. First‚ I will provide a couple major objections that consequentialism must overcome if it is to be successful in addressing the
