Causes of Climate Change Climate change is a long-term shift in weather conditions identified by changes in temperature‚ precipitation‚ winds‚ and other indicators. Climate change can involve both changes in average conditions and changes in variability‚ including‚ for example‚ extreme events. The earth’s climate is naturally variable on all time scales. However‚ its long-term state and average temperature are regulated by the balance between incoming and outgoing energy‚ which determines the Earth’s

This article explains how climate change has been rapidly melting the Arctic over the course of a few years. As a result‚ the faster the arctic melts the more damage will be done to the ecosystem‚ planet‚ and humans. A few examples of how drastically climate change has shaped the North are that the sea ice covering the Arctic Ocean began to decrease in size when it should have been increasing in size. Also‚ temperatures at the North Pole rose more than 20 degrees Celsius. These changes are causing

The Climate Wars is a documentary by Iain Stewart‚ which is made up of three parts. It talks about climate change‚ its causes‚ effects‚ wrong predictions and the controversies towards the correct and reasonable explanations given by leading scientists. Climate change is the lasting change noticed or recorded in the climate or weather pattern ranging over a period of time. Climate change is caused by natural causes as well as by humans. The effect that the human race is having on the earth is so vast

Climate refugee In 2011‚ IDMC reported that disasters such as floods‚ storms and earthquakes triggered the displacement of over 15 million‚ more than 90% of which were related to climate or extreme weather events. Displacement related to slow-onset disasters‚ including drought and long-term processes of environmental degradation and habitat loss displace many more‚ but is un-quantified.

The Energy Information Administration predicts that China’s emissions will grow at a remarkable 4.2% per year between 1990 and 2030 a growth rate that is higher than any other emitter. The climate problem in China is very serious; if China’s trend toward producing greenhouse gases still increases in the future‚ Earth’s environment will be further stressed and other nations’ efforts to reduce greenhouse gases will be cancelled out.

Climate Change Paper Climate Change Paper Climate change has been a controversial topic over the last twenty years and its prevalence in today’s society has made it a household term. In fact‚ scientists are not only certain climate change is a fact and is currently taking place‚ but are 95% sure it is caused by human action (Bennett‚ 2012). Scientists theorize that human actions‚ like the burning of fossil fuels‚ have increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere‚ and as a result‚ have
