Climate Change and Biodiversity How Global Warming Affects the Life on Earth Climate change is the changing of patterns in climate‚ and the most obvious changes are usually the average temperature and the average precipitation. Climate change will also affect the timing of seasons‚ as well as causing extreme events to happen‚ for example‚ drought‚ fire‚ hurricane‚ etc. Since climate is defined as a certain region’s long term atmospheric conditions‚ the change of climate will have a great impact

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

Changes in the Arctic climate will not only affect the animals‚ plants and people living in the Arctic regions‚ but it will also affect the rest of the world. The Arctic region is made up of the northern parts of Canada‚ the United States‚ Greenland‚ Iceland and the Eurasian continents. The changes in the climate will increase global warming in these countries causing the sea level to rise all around the world. Here is how the climate has been changing in the Arctic. This evidence of this change

The potential impacts of climate change on Queensland come under three main factors‚ health‚ environment and economics. HEALTH Effects such as the Mosquito-borne dengue fever and increasing heatwaves pose a threat to Queensland under the health factor. The future distribution of mosquito’s carrying dengue fever will be determined by climate change‚ it is expected that the disease will expand further south extending to New South Wales and even the Northern Territory. Climate change will also impact

Climate Change: Long‚ Medium and Short Term Long term evidence: Type of evidence | Explanation | Reliability | Ice cores – CO2 | CO2 trapped in ice cores. Low concentrations of CO2 occur naturally during glacial periods and high concentrations during interglacial periods (present). 2007 measured 383 parts per million. | The number of CO2 sequences that correlate well with each other suggest it is reliable. | Ice cores – O2 isotopes | Ratio of oxygen 16 to 18 is a good indicator of past sea
