The earth has endured periodical cycles of warming and cooling‚ but how much of the modern climate change is in fact natural? In the last 650‚000 years‚ the earth has gone through several major changes in temperature‚ caused by an array of natural effects. Many things contribute to the change in temperature‚ including the earth’s orbital change‚ the slight lean of the earth’s axis‚ and the natural change in atmospheric composition. Although‚ since the industrial revolution in the late 1800’s‚ the

Examine the role of one human activity in causing climate change With the rapid development of contemporary society‚ the balance between human and the nature has been destroyed. The increase of globally averaged temperature on the earth’s surface has occurred over the past century. Thus‚ climate problems have been the initial international issue to be handled. Industrial production is one of human activities causing climate change. Firstly‚ this essay will analyze how carbon dioxide and small

Extinction is a natural selection process. Should humans strive to preserve a representative sample of all biomes or aquatic zones? I personally believe that we are already preserving when it comes to wondering if we are going to become extincted. We as human have a hard time not reproducing‚ this meaning most humans that become married usually begin having children within the first 5 years of their marriage if they haven’t married and already have children. This being said we may not leave an

Climate change has been disputed by people and scientists for a very long time. Some believe that human activity has nothing to do with climate change‚ while others believe that humans are the number one cause of climate change. Two of the most common arguments I found were that the earth has been warming and glaciers have been melting since the last ice age. The second is that rising CO2 levels do not necessarily cause global warming. Skeptics believe that although the earth has warmed 1.4 degrees

May 2014 Global Climate Change: Causes and Effects The Earth goes through natural phases of warming and cooling‚ due to changes in the Sun and volcanic activity. During these changes‚ the temperature fluctuates a little bit. However‚ the drastic incline in the temperature of the earth over the past century cannot be explained by these natural causes alone. What could have had the power to cause this drastic change‚ and what effect will this have on our planet in the future? Humans have had a large

TRINITY COLLEGE L6 SCIENCE GEOGRAPHY CLIMATE CHANGE: NATURE OR NEGLIGENCE The climate of our world is changing‚ but why? There is a great debate going on in the scientific community on whether our current climate change crisis is a natural occurrence over millions of years – as what has happened on the planet of Mars – or this natural process is being accelerated by man’s negligence. But first we must establish what is climate change? Climate Change is a long-term shift in the statistics of
