The cities and infrastructures that we built in the past are deteriorating‚ clearly not created for the purpose of survival in this foreign climate. It is too little too late for the political sphere to attempt to make changes. They have ignored the warnings my colleagues and me have been begging them to give due attention

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 in the distribution of weather around the average conditions (i.e.‚ more or fewer extreme weather events). Climate change is caused by factors that include oceanic processes (such as oceanic circulation)‚ variations in solar radiation received by Earth‚ plate tectonics and

Climate Change Essay I claim that human activities‚ like emitting greenhouse gases‚ are causing global warming. Some scientists have decided that we‚ through the greenhouse effect‚ are causing global warming by burning oil‚ gas‚ and coal. The greenhouse effect helps to keep the Earth hot enough that it can sustain human life. Sunlight come down through the atmosphere‚ and then clouds reflect some of it off and back into space. Most of it is used to warm the planet. When the ground is warmed‚ the

Global climate change has positive and negative effects on marine and terrestrial ecosystems. The cause of global climate change is said to be because carbon dioxide is being emitted through the large scale burning of oil‚ coal and gas‚ with an additional contribution coming from clearing of tropical forests and woodlands which results in wildlife life destruction. The carbon dioxide traps heat from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere and prevents it from being sent back out into space. The heat that

Climate change is one of the biggest problems facing the world today. Climate change refers to the changes of the climate in which bad phenomena that caused directly or indirectly by human activities. Global warming is one of the main factors that contribute to the climate change. Global warming occurs when heat trapped in the earth’s atmosphere that caused by excess greenhouse gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2)‚ Methane (CH4) and Nitrous Oxide (N2O). All of these gases form a layer in the atmosphere
