According to a paper published in Science‚ models of how animal and plant distributions are affected by climate change may also explain aspects of human evolution. The approach takes existing knowledge of the geographical spread of other species through the warming and cooling of the ice ages to provide a model that can be applied to human origins. "No one has applied this knowledge to humans before‚" said Dr John Stewart‚ lead author on the paper and researcher at Bournemouth University. "We

I have always believed that climate change exists and I have seen proof of it. Speaking of proof‚ an example is a graph that NASA has created that explains the drastic increase of the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the past few years. As you can see from the graph‚ the graph sharply inclined upwards around the past century‚ passing the line shown in the graph. I have also witnessed glaciers melting away and Arctic and Antarctic animals hopelessly trying to cope with melting ice. However

Climate change is creating vulnerability. Sewage treatment plants are susceptible to major failures and overflows because of rising seas‚ more intense coastal storms‚ and increased heavy precipitation events. In 2012‚ Climate Central’s comprehensive analysis of sea level rise‚ stated more than two-thirds of costal locations in the U.S. will be affected by global warming that has more than doubled the chances of a hundred year storm surge occurring within the next year. (Hurricane Sandy) The higher

Currently‚ our planet is going through a series of significant climate events that is potentially leaving an impact. Global warming has been at the center of creating destructive climate change. By increasing the amounts of greenhouse gases‚ humans are creating an environment with hotter temperatures‚ melting ice caps‚ and rising sea levels. To add on‚ scientists are now worried that humans are potentially destroying the oceans by creating an acidic environment in the water. The acidic environment

Effects of climate change on Great Barrier Reek Rising sea temperature Rising sea temperatures have adverse effects on the Great Barrier Reef (Johnson and Marshal 2007). According to Johanna and Marshal (2007)‚ increased temperature has a significant role in destroying aquatic life because sea animals have a particular body heat limit to survive in the ocean. As a result of enhanced heat‚ this limit has extended beyond that limit (Laugh and Hobdy 2011). For example‚ 8 years ago summer weather was
