In No Climate Change Under the Faint Early Sun‚ Rosing makes an argument about the climate during Earth’s early life.

Lab 4: Climate Variables and the Change in Western United States’ Levels Abstract: The purpose of the lab was to determine the outcome of the daily time steps from 1958-2062 of the Western United States and compare them. That was done by using three factors in three different time periods; was placed in a global change model simulation of complex models and were then compared to determine the outcome of the experiment. What all these graphs meant was that the overall Ocean Mixed-Layer Temperature

In his essays “Kids‚ Trees‚ and Climate Change” and “The Green Dream” Mark Hertsgaard informs us of a current would issue that is occurring that was created by humans‚ global warming. Americans should take global warming as a serious matter because it could extinct some plants or animals due to the climate warming up which is not suitable for some species.

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

NOTES: The word is divided into 6 climate zones. These zones depend on several factors. The first is temperature; if a country lies near the equator it tends to be hot; but if it’s near the poles it tends to be colder. A country can also have a cold climate if it’s very mountainous with most of its land sitting well above sea level. Wind direction can also influence climate. If winds are being blow from a hot area they will raise temperatures‚ the opposite is also true. If winds have been blown
