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

The climate in Egypt is generally moderate; it is mostly hot or warm during the day‚ and cool at night. In the coastal regions‚ daytime average temperatures range between a minimum 140C in winter and maximum 300C in summer. In deserts the temperatures vary considerably‚ especially in summer; when they may range from 7°C at night‚ to 52 °C during the day. While the winter temperatures in deserts do not fluctuate so wildly‚ they can be as low as 0 °C at night‚ and as high as 18 °C during the day. Egypt

1. Introduction Scientific evidence of the world’s changing climate is unequivocal. The expected impacts of the changing climate are likely to adversely affect the well being of all countries and particularly the poorest countries‚ some of which are in Africa. The changing climate has been manifested in the form of: increased severity and frequency of droughts; floods and storms; water stress‚ coastal erosion‚ and higher incidence of vector borne diseases among others. The resulting declines in

Climate change is a long-term alteration in the statistical distribution of weather pattern over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. The world is currently experiencing drastic change in temperature. This change can be felt in the tropical climate areas where the weather is getting hotter and hotter every day. The change in global temperatures and precipitation over time is due to natural variability or to human activity. It is also caused by accumulation of greenhouse effects (Arrhenius

Developing an effective climate is therefore a key component for any organisation seeking to raise their game or increase their productivity. So what exactly IS climate? Climate can be described as ‘the unwritten rules’ or ‘the way things are around here’. It is a complex blend of attitudes‚ expectations‚ policies and norms that effect motivations & behaviours. Within every organisation a climate exists. Within every team or workgroup a micro-climate exists – and factors such as leadership style

The Climate Crisis Global warming: an increase in the earth’s atmospheric and oceanic temperatures widely predicted to occur due to an increase in the greenhouse effect resulting especially from pollution. Given the definition it may not sound as scary as it actually is. The whole process of global warming is a science in itself. It may also be known as `the climate crisis’ because scientists believe that the occurrence of such extreme temperatures will bring our earth to turmoil

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
