and Atmospheric Administration‚ has been taking data of the ocean temperature for years to analyze climate change‚ though in a recent leak from a former NOAA scientist‚ the data taken from the ocean were not from buoys‚ which was how they were taking data originally but they weren’t getting the results they wanted. Since they saw that the water was getting colder‚ which contradicted climate change‚ they decided to switch halfway through the experiment to taking data from cargo boats‚ which had a

Climate change has been disputed by people and scientists for a very long time. Some believe that human activity has nothing to do with climate change‚ while others believe that humans are the number one cause of climate change. Two of the most common arguments I found were that the earth has been warming and glaciers have been melting since the last ice age. The second is that rising CO2 levels do not necessarily cause global warming. Skeptics believe that although the earth has warmed 1.4 degrees

aerosols into the upper troposphere and stratosphere (Allen‚ 2015). Volcanism helped form Earth’s ancient climate and influences climate change in today’s world (Kasting‚ 1993). A recent example of a volcano influencing climate include the 1982 El Chichon eruption in Mexico‚ which is regarded as the largest volcanic disaster in modern Mexican history (Mass‚ 1989). Ancient examples of climate-changing eruptions include the Huaynaputina volcano in Peru in 1600 C.E. (Costa‚ et al. 2003) and a volcano

Climate Change Effects on Artic Polar Bears Kenneth Halvorsen COM/156 09/30/2012 Jocelyn Henson Climate Change Effects on Artic Polar Bears Climate warming and ecological changes have caused a significant threat to the declining population of polar bears in the Arctic which is affecting human habitats Polar bears‚ the largest of the terrestrial carnivores‚ live on the Arctic ice for the majority of the year. The icy habitat allows polar bears to hunt for their primary prey - seals.

Climate change is something that has been on the radar of people worldwide since the 1980’s‚ when the hole in the ozone layer of Antarctica was discovered. Are we doing enough to reduce climate change‚ and reverse the effects of global warming? While it might be nearly impossible to reverse climate change‚ we can try to slow down the effects of climate change. On this page‚ you can find earth friendly tips on reducing your carbon footprint‚ from greening your vacations to recycling‚ reducing your

naturally or by mankind. It is a problem that is plaguing the world in many ways. There has been much argument between those who are advocates of immediate change in industrial emissions‚ and those who believe that the increased temperature is a natural phenomenon. Advocates of immediate change believe that sudden changes in the earth’s climate can be attributed to human activities. Human made commodities such at power plants‚ factories and cars produce toxic emissions that are released into the
