One of the most current issues concerning modern times would be climate change. Because of this issue‚ it has caused controversy among many people. In recent times‚ many scientists have agreed that climate change is a real phenomena. However‚ despite the current scientific backings by a number of accredited scientists‚ very little has been done to try to solve this predicament. To me‚ the problem of addressing climate change would be due to a variety of political reasons. Many politicians around

societies likely to be most hit by climate change‚ and which the least? What are the most important impacts likely to be? The evolving global problem of climate change looms large with inevitable social‚ economic and ecological challenges for the world. The process of global warming and its consequences vary from region to region‚ but the nature of these variations is uncertain. The changes will not occur in a fast way‚ nor will they only exert a negative effect: for example‚ in some parts of the

Outline strategies to address climate change by either Government‚ pressure groups or individuals. In the UK the government nationwide has created the clime change act of 2008‚ the UK was the first country in the world to set a legally binding climate reduction‚ and the target is to reduce emissions by 80% by 2050. The targets are created at a 4 yearly interval which are; 22% in 2008 to 2012‚ 28% in 2013 to 2017 and 34% in 2018 to 2022. These reductions are the targeted to be the percentage below

does that have to do with climate change? As China and its neighbors economies grow‚ the need for more energy increases. In order to meet their energy demands‚ industries have to use fossil fuels for energy. Fossil fuel burning accounts for 75% of the total global energy use (Ciserone‚ 2000‚ p. 1). When fossil fuels are burned‚ greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere thickening the air‚ trapping heat and other pollutants increasing the chances for climate change thru human induced activities

Introduction Climate change concerns to a statistically momentous deviation in either the mean state of the climate or in its variability‚ remaining for an extensive period (normally decades or longer) (What is climate change‚ 2001). Climate change is term that adverts to any major and long-term change in average weather in a specified region or whole Earth. Fundamentally important variability of average weather over longer time period can be depicted as climate change. Climate change is due to natural

ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE 1. What is climate change? Climate change is a long-term shift in the climate of a s pecific location‚ region or planet. The shift is measured by changes in features associated with average weather‚ such as temperature‚ wind patterns and pr ecipitation. What most peo ple don’t know is that a change in the variability of climate is also considered climate change‚ even if average weather conditions remain the same. Climate change occurs when the climate of a

Climate Change is not a new issue. There have been attempts all throughout the latter half of the 20th century to curb the effects of climate change‚ and some of them have even been somewhat successful. Extremely accurate measurements regarding the amount of CO2 present in the atmosphere have been taken since 1958 at the Mauna Loa Observatory‚ and the upward trend of the data gave us notice half a century ago about the changing of the climate. With this notice‚ several efforts have been made in the

Climate Change in Victoria What is Climate Change? The Earth’s climate has changed over the last century. Increases in average temperatures have been seen around the globe and there is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed of the last 50 years is due to human activities. While climate change is a global issue‚ it will affect us all. Climate change has the potential to adversely affect our environment‚ our communities and our economy unless we take action now to reduce our
