Many ignore the topic of Climate Change as they don’t believe in it‚ or simply don’t understand why they should bother. This is exactly what Michael Pollan trys to argue in his article‚ “Why Bother?”‚ published by The New York Times‚ He argues that every common man should do their part to slow the advancement of climate change.

Climate Change Many Americans‚ and as well as others around the world‚ believe that climate change doesn’t exist. However‚ there are many facts and signs pointing towards to the opposing side. Even NASA has confirmed the realness of climate change‚ and it’s extremely uncanny. My first source‚ the National Consumers League‚ states that at least 40 percent of our food is wasted in the U.S. and a quarter to a third of all food worldwide goes to waste. Our food waste has increased by 50 percent since

markets work well and sometimes they do not. In the case of climate change‚ they are failing. Considered economically‚ climate change can be understood as a form of market failure associated with greenhouse gas pollution because the climate change that follows imposes costs on all people‚ not just the polluters. These costs include damage to their health‚ insurance costs (to protect against increased flooding ) or the costs of ‘climate-proofing’ our homes as the world gets hotter. There are several

The Little Ice Age and Climate Change Today Roland Ward ES117-2A-77: Natural Disasters 8 December 2012 Keith Earnshaw Abstract The little ice age gave us a glimpse as to how climate change can affect our society. This is especially important today as we stand on the brink of another environmental catastrophe. The acceleration of greenhouse gas output has irrevocably changed how mankind affects the environment. The lessons that we can learn from studying the little ice age may lead us to

low pressure belt and the temperate low pressure zone. Though both are low pressure systems‚ their weather and heat transfer processes are very different. Their diversion can be viewed under The equatorial zones are distinguished by a hot and wet climate all year round‚ yet the temperate zones are typified by less stable areas. The temperature difference between the equator and the poles generates a circulation system which redistributes heat from low latitudes to high latitudes. The rising and
