Climate change is defined as the significant fluctuations in weather patterns. These fluctuations could be caused by harmful human activities or even the natural processes occurring on Earth. It is also a broader term to describe global warming and all the changes that occur on a certain location’s climate. Some signs of climate change include higher temperature‚ frequent occurrences of droughts‚ warmer temperature of the oceans‚ rising sea levels and melting glaciers. It greatly affects the

8-13-13 7- Acuity Climate Change What is climate change? Climate includes patterns of temperature‚ precipitation‚ humidity‚ wind and seasons. "Climate change" affects more than just a change in the weather‚ it refers to seasonal changes over a long period of time. These climate patterns play a fundamental role in shaping natural ecosystems‚ and the human economies and cultures that depend on them. Because so many systems are tied to climate‚ a change in climate can affect many related aspects

CLIMATE CHANGE What does the climate mean? Climate‚ like weather‚ describes the state of the atmosphere in terms of factors such as temperature‚ rainfall‚ and wind patterns. Whereas the weather describes conditions as measured in hours‚ days or weeks‚ the climate is average weather conditions measured over the longer term: months‚ years or decades. What is climate change? Any process that causes adjustments to a climate system – from a volcanic eruption to a cyclical change in solar

Climate Change in Developing Countries Over the past decade‚ human activity has started to cause an increased rate of negative change to our climate. Although climate change is a worldwide problem no one will feel the impact as harshly as third world countries such many parts of Africa‚ Asia‚ and South America. These countries are estimated to be hit the hardest by climate change even though they did the least to cause it. Developing countries have been struggling over the past few years on their

1. Introduction Scientific evidence of the world’s changing climate is unequivocal. The expected impacts of the changing climate are likely to adversely affect the well being of all countries and particularly the poorest countries‚ some of which are in Africa. The changing climate has been manifested in the form of: increased severity and frequency of droughts; floods and storms; water stress‚ coastal erosion‚ and higher incidence of vector borne diseases among others. The resulting declines in

safe to assume that climate change is going to be around for a long time and have an enormous impact on the lives of many people. Humans have had a huge impact on the environment for many years and can be linked to one the main factors of global warming. Global warming is a topic that has received much attention in recent years; yet our climate change is not a recent problem. If the U.S. Continues to ignore climate change then the effect on the environment will affect humans. Despite what many might

Everyone needs energy. And ironically what human needs to survive resulted in a fenomena that will bring danger to themselves. That fenomena is called the climate change. Simply saying‚ it is the change of Earth’s condition such as temperature‚ rainfall‚ wind‚ humidity and weather. And climate change could result in global warming which is the rising temperature of Earth’s surface. This fenomena began to be a global issue since The First World Climate Conference in 1979‚ which identified it as an
