Approximately every 100‚000 years Earth’s climate warms up temporarily. These warm periods‚ called interglacial periods‚ appear to last approximately 15‚000 to 20‚000 years before regressing back to a cold ice age climate. At year 18‚000 and counting our current interglacial vacation from the Ice Age is closer to its end than its beginning (Geo Craft). This leads to the growing debate of today‚ is global warming man-made? Or is it just a cycle that the Earth goes through? This is a controversial issue today

“Climate Change Over Time” I. Introduction a. In this lab‚ the question being investigated is‚ “Has climate changed over time?” b. The hypothesis is‚ “If CO2 levels affect climate‚ then the climate has changed overtime because of the increased greenhouse effect caused by higher levels of CO2 emissions.” c. Variables: 1. Independent Variable: Amount of CO2 2. Dependent Variable: Climate change II. Background Information Climate is the weather pattern in an area over long period of

As people rely more and more on technology to solve problems‚ the ability of humans to think for themselves will surely deteriorate. Throughout the history people have been inventing and incorporating new technologies into their lives. We can assume that the number of technologies available to people nowadays is much bigger than that of prehistoric people. However‚ no one would argue that the ability of modern people to think and make decisions is worse comparing to the ability of our ancestors

Why don’t democrats like climate change? Do you feel the same way about democrats? “Democrats believe that climate change poses a real and urgent threat to our economy‚ our national security‚ and our children’s health and futures‚ and that Americans deserve the jobs and security that come from becoming the clean energy superpower of the 21st century.” If climate change continues‚ it will melt the polar ice caps. Climate change also interferes with the quality of the air. It is a national security

The average temperature of the earth’s surface is rising. According to the Natural Resources Canada: Overview of Climate Change in Canada‚ “the influence of anthropogenic climate change on Canada is evident in observed trends and temperatures simulated by global climate models” (Government of Canada)‚ which can have devastated impacts on humans (e.g. humans can die of heat stroke). The summer issue of Statistics Canada’s EnviroStats (2011) has a nation-wide survey on air conditioning. Surveys demonstrate

Analytical Summary of Climate Change Modeling Methodology Articles (NAME) (NAME OF SCHOOL) Abstract The present essay includes a synthesis of four research articles discussing climate change related to tropical cyclones through various climate modeling methods. More specifically‚ the articles examine whether the frequency and intensity of tropical cyclones‚ with subsequent global impact on climate‚ atmospheric carbon levels‚ and human population

In this essay I will explain the natural causes of climate change I will talk about the Milankovich cycles‚ sun spots and also volcanoes and cosmic. Milankovich cycles consist of 3 different variations of cycles the first one is orbit which changes the earth’s orbit from spherical to elliptical this happens every 100 thousand years this changes the earth’s solar input. During the elliptical years the summers are very hot and the winters are very cold however when it is the spherical the weather

General‚ Excellencies‚ distinguished delegates‚ ladies and gentlemen. I approach as mere student with a plea for change‚ for no one is immune from the looming problem. We are faced with a dilemma that is no longer a distant threat‚ but ladies and gentleman we are not discouraged. Rather we face this challenge not as an obstacle but as an opportunity to move forward as a nation. Climate change is not something that will happen‚ because it’s happening right now. I was born and raised in Australia‚ under

Effects of Climate Change on Developing Countries “Over the past two centuries‚ the average temperature of our planet has been rising faster than at any time during the last 1000 years. 1997 was the hottest year ever recorded and 13 of the warmest years in the 20th century‚ occurred since 1980”. This problem has to be solved by the developed countries because they produce the higher gas emissions and they are the main cause of the global warming. Developed countries have the responsibility to help

Have you ever wondered about how or when the temperature started rising on the earth? Well‚ let’s just get straight to the point. I’m talking about climate change. It may not seem like an important topic but it is. It’s an immensely important topic. My goal today is to tell you about climate change and how it all began… All of this began in the 1800’s when the “Industrial Revolution” took place. When this happened‚ people started to make goods in factories‚ rather than making them by hand and because
