Effects of Climate Change on Developing Countries “Over the past two centuries‚ the average temperature of our planet has been rising faster than at any time during the last 1000 years. 1997 was the hottest year ever recorded and 13 of the warmest years in the 20th century‚ occurred since 1980”. This problem has to be solved by the developed countries because they produce the higher gas emissions and they are the main cause of the global warming. Developed countries have the responsibility

however climate change is still something that concerns some scientists‚ citizens‚ and policymakers. As such‚ the need for further progress is necessary. In order to make such progress policymakers may need to develop air quality and climate change policies through an integrative approach. Doing this‚ however‚ does not come without political‚ social‚ and scientific obstacles. Although there are obstacles to recognizing integrative approaches for policymaking‚ air quality and climate change may

The Potential Relationship Between Human Activity and Climate Change The idea of global warming has been around for over one hundred years‚ but in recent decades climate change has become a serious threat to national security. To better understand‚ global warming is defined as the gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth’s atmosphere‚ generally recognized as the greenhouse effect‚ and is caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide‚ CFCs‚ and other pollutants‚ also known as greenhouse

The Chequamegon Bay is on Lake Superior‚ one of the 5 Great Lakes. Climate change could affect ports‚ harbors and marinas in two different ways. This is considered a shallow port that will be affected by large amounts of water going into the bay or by evaporation and lack of water going into the bay. One-way climate change may affect the bays harbors‚ ports and marinas is lower lake levels. Low lake levels can cause commercial and recreational boats to bottom out‚ keep the boats from reaching docks

Anthropologic climate change in Chile and Argentina has been a vital problem since the turn of the 19th century. With a steady rise in temperature‚ climate change has had a significant effect on this region’s culture‚ economy‚ and social structure. Without the necessary precautions‚ this effect will only continue to increase at an exponential rate‚ causing further irreparable damage and degradation (Barros‚ 2014). There are many causes of anthropologic climate change in Chile and Argentina‚ but perhaps
