Revolution. (Source: National Aeronautics and Space Administration) Climate change is an inevitable phenomenon that is being experienced globally in various forms such as temperature rise‚ sea level rise‚ droughts‚ floods‚ hurricanes‚ landslide‚ etc. According to the forth assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) project even with immediate implementation of mitigation strategies global climate change will continue for decades. It is estimated that global temperature

On Earth‚ climate change is a major factor that is happening and affecting everything. Climate change is also affecting Canada’s many primary resource industries. One specific primary industry is the forestry industry in British Columbia. Out of all the industries in Canada‚ I think that the forestry industry is the most impacted by climate change. Climate change is affecting British Columbia severely because of the mountain pine beetle. The mountain pine beetle is a bug that is native to the forests

Climate change mitigation is the action to reduce the intensity of radiative forcing in order to reduce the effects of global warming (IPCC‚ 2006). Climate change mitigation can be done through several means such as developing alternative energy which includes renewable and nuclear energy‚ decreasing the carbon intensity of fossil fuel through carbon capture and sequestering‚ reforestation and also simply by conserving energy. Based on the cost-benefit analysis of each methods‚ I believe that the

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

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.

I learned that there are many factors that can cause climate change in the world. I now know that climate change isn’t just caused by people in the world‚ or just the world changing slowly. I believe that the change is a combination of both humans and the environment

Climate Change in Nigeria Climate change has always occurred in different Nigeria; however the effects have become more noticeable recently over the years. The effects have affected the daily lives of many for better or worse. A peer reviewed research done by an unknown source‚ which was accepted by the Journal of Geography and Regional had concluded that the average temperature of Nigeria has increased by 1.7°C in the period of 1901-2005. The increase has however been higher in semi-arid areas
