Climate Change; Adaptation and Mitigation in Himachal Pradesh (HP) The increase in global temperature has attributed to global warming‚ which became one of the major issues towards the end of 20th century. It is said to increase over the next hundred years and even greater increase is expected in Indian sub continent. Torrential rainfall and cloud outburst generate very high magnitude of flash floods in the mountain regions of the Himalayas during rainy season. During the last few years such

Between the Sceptic View and the Proactive View about Climate Change The issue of climate change is omnipresent in our daily lives. Many have different opinions about this matter. Some think that there is nothing to worry about and no drastic change is necessary and others think that people should take action as soon as possible in order to prevent disasters in the near future. This paper will compare the different perspectives on the causes of climate change along with how necessary it is for us to

To start off with‚ global climate change is a severe change in weather patterns around the globe that affect thickness in the atmosphere‚ temperatures‚ precipitations‚ water levels‚ and food growth. In addition‚ this change greatly contributed to the increases levels of carbon dioxide concentrate produced by the use of fossil fuels.

The Little Ice Age and Climate Change Today Roland Ward ES117-2A-77: Natural Disasters 8 December 2012 Keith Earnshaw Abstract The little ice age gave us a glimpse as to how climate change can affect our society. This is especially important today as we stand on the brink of another environmental catastrophe. The acceleration of greenhouse gas output has irrevocably changed how mankind affects the environment. The lessons that we can learn from studying the little ice age may lead us to

Clive Hamilton‚ in “Earthmasters: The Dawn of the Age of Climate Engineering“‚ examines the actuality of geoengineering‚ the so-called protective measure for global warming. He digs deep into the potential repercussions of the precise processes enveloped by the pretentious term “geoengineering”‚ calls for the inspection of the root germ of the infection at stake and advocates for the alteration of our attitude rather than experimenting naively with the greatest of the ecologies. Hamilton provides

Climate change is creating vulnerability. Sewage treatment plants are susceptible to major failures and overflows because of rising seas‚ more intense coastal storms‚ and increased heavy precipitation events. In 2012‚ Climate Central’s comprehensive analysis of sea level rise‚ stated more than two-thirds of costal locations in the U.S. will be affected by global warming that has more than doubled the chances of a hundred year storm surge occurring within the next year.
