of scientist have agreed that climate change is real: that the Earth’s atmosphere is warming at an increasing rate and that it is due to man-made pollution.

Environmental Problem: Climate Change Introduction This report sets out to show that climate change is currently the leading environmental threat to the Earth and requires people to tackle this long-term and global problem with worldwide cooperation. Climate change is the build- up of gases such as carbon dioxide‚ water vapour and methane in the atmosphere; this means the world is warming (Lewis et al‚ 2004). Pakenham (2004‚ pp.217) states that climate change has chain effects leading to global

Title: Compare and contrast the contributing factors of climate change and argue that there is a need for more economically developed nations to take the lead. Nations around the world have been contributing to climate change by damaging natural environments and releasing greenhouse gases and there is a need for more economically developed nations. There are different contributing factor‚ but the majority of these contributions are from the more economically developed nations. Although the less

It is split up into 6 main climatic regions which are equatorial (region near the equator)‚ tropical‚ sub-tropical‚ desert‚ grassland‚ and temperate. The equatorial region is made up of rainforest and savannah and since it is near the equator typically experiences the hottest weather and a lot of rainfall. Because it has heavy
