Debate on Climate Change Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in average weather conditions or the distribution of events around that average‚ for example more or fewer extreme weather events. Climate change may be limited to a particular region or may occur across the whole Earth. I t is a broader context of human dimensions in which insufficient attention

Climate change is the most significant challenge to achieving sustainable development and threatens to drag thousands of people to severe poverty. It refers to any outstanding measures of climate lasting for an extended period of time. This includes major changes in temperature‚ precipitation or winds patterns and others that occur several days longer. Some Caribbean islands in particular are vulnerable to climate change. Rising sea levels will have a consequential and dampening effect on their economy

concerning topic of Climate Change. Climate change is a serious global challenge. Temperature increases‚ which many scientists attribute to human activity‚ are likely to bring widespread and unpredictable changes around the world. Climate change is the gradual increase of the temperature of earth’s atmosphere and oceans. It occurs when greenhouse gases‚ such as carbon dioxide‚ nitrous oxide and methane trap heat inside the earth’s atmosphere. Australia is vulnerable to climate change. We occupy the driest

potential impacts of climate change on Queensland come under three main factors‚ health‚ environment and economics. HEALTH Effects such as the Mosquito-borne dengue fever and increasing heatwaves pose a threat to Queensland under the health factor. The future distribution of mosquito’s carrying dengue fever will be determined by climate change‚ it is expected that the disease will expand further south extending to New South Wales and even the Northern Territory. Climate change will also impact the

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.

Anthropogenic Climate Change Brandie Fonseca Informal Logic 103 Instructor John Moore May 21‚ 2012 An issue that is felt throughout the world is Anthropogenic Climate Change formally known as Global Warming. This word wide problem is one that needs to be addressed immediately as well as long term. Anthropogenic Climate Change is the rise of the earth’s temperature caused by human activities. The continuing rise in the earth’s temperature will cause extreme change in our earth’s ecosystems

producing the most overall greenhouse gas quantity annually. 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. China’s action
