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

In Climate Change the style of writing warns the reader about how dangerous it is for our planet. Firstly Kate Ravilious really wants to engage with the reader to bring them in the middle of the action. She does this by using a rhetorical question: “But what are its implication? And is mankind really to blame?” The reader really feels that he is implicated and it will make him worry more about the threat. Furthermore the frequently asked questions: ”What is global warming?” as subheading is a really

Adapting to Climate change: Discuss its impact on human health and how this is being managed in NZ today For the public health community‚ climate has always been an important consideration. Every epidemiologist knows that “climatic factors are important determinants of human health and well-being” (Menne & Ebi‚ 2006‚ p.56). World Health Organization (WHO) stated that “there is growing evidence that changes in the global climate will have profound effects on the health and well-being of

argue that global climate change has little impact on our economy today‚ there is strong evidence that ignorance on this topic will lead to a financial hole in the long run. In order to gain awareness on this stagnant approach‚ Frank Ackerman and Jonathan M. Harris analyze economic climate change in their articles. Some of these topics regarding economic climate change include the monetary impact that climate change will have on future generations‚ the impact on the economy after climate change damage

that? I suppose you could argue. And why is that? Because you have never deeply researched the concepts of either global warming or climate change. So what can we learn from that? The first step of solving a problem is being aware of it. So you would ask “what is global warming?” Global warming is exactly what you hear. The warming of the globe. The earth’s climate gets hotter and hotter until icebergs start melting causing massive floods‚ forests are burning and whole areas are left without any
