To put it in its simplest terms‚ climate change refers to the long term change in the earth’s temperature‚ particularly an increase in the average atmospheric temperature (Dictionary.com). Although there are some natural causes for climate change‚ most scientists are in agreement that humans are at least in part responsible for some of the effects we have already seen and must therefore take corrective action immediately to slow the process before it is too late and irreversible catastrophic damage

Climate change is a long-term alteration in the statistical distribution of weather pattern over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. The world is currently experiencing drastic change in temperature. This change can be felt in the tropical climate areas where the weather is getting hotter and hotter every day. The change in global temperatures and precipitation over time is due to natural variability or to human activity. It is also caused by accumulation of greenhouse effects (Arrhenius

Climate change has taken significant changes throughout the years on Earth. These changes have affected the in more than one way. A Simple way to describe Global warming would be to say that it refers to an average increase in the Earth’s temperature and this increase may cause changes in climate. As the Earth warms up it may lead to significant rise in sea levels‚ chaotic weather patterns‚ and catastrophic droughts. The issues of climate change around the world are caused by human activities.

Climate change is one of the biggest problems facing the world today. Climate change refers to the changes of the climate in which bad phenomena that caused directly or indirectly by human activities. Global warming is one of the main factors that contribute to the climate change. Global warming occurs when heat trapped in the earth’s atmosphere that caused by excess greenhouse gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2)‚ Methane (CH4) and Nitrous Oxide (N2O). All of these gases form a layer in the atmosphere

You Don’t Know What You Got Till It’s Gone For the first time in human history it has become undeniably apparent that our lifestyle has finally come full circle. The bi-partisan argument between political parties has ceased and it is evident our world will never be the same. Just like the course of action that has been taken in the past‚ the human race silently awaits the unavoidable reality of destruction and decimation through the increased emissions of greenhouse gases into our atmosphere

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
