Climate Change: The Effects and Reforms in America Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists in the United States agree that climate change is happening and is becoming an unfortunate reality for future generations (TechTimes). In the United States‚ large corporations receive little to no environmental regulations leading to unhealthy gas levels potentially breaching holes in the ozone layer. Slowly‚ this issue has become a public concern and has more recently been brought into the radar of the

“Climate Change Over Time” I. Introduction a. In this lab‚ the question being investigated is‚ “Has climate changed over time?” b. The hypothesis is‚ “If CO2 levels affect climate‚ then the climate has changed overtime because of the increased greenhouse effect caused by higher levels of CO2 emissions.” c. Variables: 1. Independent Variable: Amount of CO2 2. Dependent Variable: Climate change II. Background Information Climate is the weather pattern in an area over long period of

1. Natural causes of climate change within the model are livestock (cows) producing methane gas. Human-made causes that can be seen are deforestation for crops‚ homes‚ and businesses. Pollution from cars and planes realeases CO2 into the air and the use of electricty to run the homes and businesses creates greenhouse gases. From 1775 till today‚ cars and planes have been created and contribute to green house gas production. The population has increase and more crops and homes have been built. Oil

Climate Change “Climate change is a change in the statistical properties of the climate system when considered over long periods of time‚ regardless of cause.” Global climate change is the changes in the seasonal patterns‚ weather systems and temperature of the planet over a long period of time. Climate patterns can influence natural ecosystems‚ dependency of cultures and global economy. The phrase “regardless of the cause” states that climate change can be induced by human activity as well as natural

GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE = GLOBAL WARMING In the last past years‚ the Earth has been experiencing increasing temperatures‚ leading to harmful consequences on our planet and its habitants. This has been researched and analysed‚ concluding to name such changes as Global climate change. As explained by the US agency‚ the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)‚ there are 7 indicators that would be expected to increase in a warming world‚ and 3 indicators would be expected to decrease.

Natural Causes of Climate Change The earth’s climate is influenced and changed through natural causes like volcanic eruptions‚ ocean current‚ the earth’s orbital changes and solar variations. Volcanic Eruptions When a volcano erupts it throws out large volumes of sulphur dioxide (SO2)‚ water vapour‚ dust‚ and ash into the atmosphere. Large volumes of gases and ash can influence climatic patterns for years by increasing planetary reflectivity causing atmospheric cooling. Tiny particles called aerosols

Global Warming And Climate Change – An Issue Over the past ten years global warming and climate change has become an issue. Although is it an issue that people need to be concerned about? I believe that it is something that humans should pay attention to and be concerned about‚ but I feel that we have no impact or control over this issue. Instead of blaming people we should pay attention to the sun making a difference on global climate then maybe it could prove that it has a bigger impact than
