Abstract Scientific experimentation recorded in the Journal of Climate by Korty‚ Emanuel‚ and Bar‚ (2008) shows that the intensity‚ frequency‚ and lifetime of cyclones is directly related to the warming of the atmosphere‚ oceanic mixing‚ and the availability of a surplus of carbon dioxide. Cyclones are increasing in intensity but because of how few reach landfall and the lack of data related to landfall destruction no visible trends have been formed (Landsea‚ Pielke‚ & Emanuel‚ 2005).

Revolution. The global climatic data shows that average surface temperatures increased over the past century by about 0.4 ºC to 0.8 ºC. Recent studies show that the average surface temperature of the earth is likely to increase by 1.1°C to 6.4 °C by the end of the 21 century‚ with best estimate of 1.8 - 4.0 °C. The human activities such as land use/land cover changes‚ deforestation‚ draining of wet lands tend to alter the albedo of the earth surface which in turn influence the variations in the microclimatic

NOTES: The word is divided into 6 climate zones. These zones depend on several factors. The first is temperature; if a country lies near the equator it tends to be hot; but if it’s near the poles it tends to be colder. A country can also have a cold climate if it’s very mountainous with most of its land sitting well above sea level. Wind direction can also influence climate. If winds are being blow from a hot area they will raise temperatures‚ the opposite is also true. If winds have been blown

Do you believe climate change is a myth? Discuss. Climate is the average weather for an area over a very long period of time. So this would include the regular weather seasons‚ for example winter‚ spring‚ summer and fall. In Trinidad and Tobago we have the dry and rainy season. I don’t believe that climate change is a myth because there is evidence of climate change worldwide and Trinidad and Tobago is no exception. Climate change is occurring‚ humans have a part to play in it and this change

CLIMATE CHANGE What does the climate mean? Climate‚ like weather‚ describes the state of the atmosphere in terms of factors such as temperature‚ rainfall‚ and wind patterns. Whereas the weather describes conditions as measured in hours‚ days or weeks‚ the climate is average weather conditions measured over the longer term: months‚ years or decades. What is climate change? Any process that causes adjustments to a climate system – from a volcanic eruption to a cyclical change in solar

the Next Ice Age? It would be safe to assume that climate change is going to be around for a long time and have an enormous impact on the lives of many people. Humans have had a huge impact on the environment for many years and can be linked to one the main factors of global warming. Global warming is a topic that has received much attention in recent years; yet our climate change is not a recent problem. If the U.S. Continues to ignore climate change then the effect on the environment will affect
