Mary Mitchell June 25‚ 2014 Env 101 EC Climate Change Paper What I Think Is Causing Climate Change Upon completing the summer course of environmental science‚ I have learned plenty of information about the environment around us. I learned that there are many factors that can cause climate change in the world. I now know that climate change isn’t just caused by people in the world‚ or just the world changing slowly. I believe that the change is a combination of both humans and the environment

Changes in the Arctic climate will not only affect the animals‚ plants and people living in the Arctic regions‚ but it will also affect the rest of the world. The Arctic region is made up of the northern parts of Canada‚ the United States‚ Greenland‚ Iceland and the Eurasian continents. The changes in the climate will increase global warming in these countries causing the sea level to rise all around the world. Here is how the climate has been changing in the Arctic. This evidence of this change

Firstly‚ As the climate warm up or cool down‚ many of local species shift from their origin habitat into the area where suited the the most (Friedman L.S‚ 2012). This means that when the temperature is increasing during the summer time‚ polar bear do migrate to the land area or we called it ashore. According to National Geography‚ that since 1979 sea ice cover has declined by about 30 percent in the Arctic. As the greenhouse effect continuing to warm the Earth‚ polar bears forced to stay in the land

Because these rays are direct and they hit direct at one spot. For part a‚ the earth start to slope‚ in which the sun’s rays have to hit a larger areas‚ and have to travel further distances. As the latitude increases‚ the average annual temperatures decreases. In North
