Not only does stagnant water increase the mosquito population‚ but slight increases in climate temperatures can increase the mosquito population by greatly.

Even the slightest spike in your carbon footprint can negatively impact the environment. This is not some extraterrestrial event that randomly happened. This has happened for many‚ many years. This is the work of us‚ humans. Things like this happen every day. Climate change will harm the environment because of the effect on the

Global average temperatures are projected to increase between 1.4 and 5.8 °C by the end of this century (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change‚ 2001)‚ and this‚ in conjunction with the increasing sea level‚ which‚ in itself‚ causes the number of individuals living in coastal areas to be exposed to increasing flooding and storm surges‚ affects human health. These affects are mostly brought on by climate change‚ which‚ ironically‚ is being heavily influenced

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.

Climate Change is not a new issue. There have been attempts all throughout the latter half of the 20th century to curb the effects of climate change‚ and some of them have even been somewhat successful. Extremely accurate measurements regarding the amount of CO2 present in the atmosphere have been taken since 1958 at the Mauna Loa Observatory‚ and the upward trend of the data gave us notice half a century ago about the changing of the climate. With this notice‚ several efforts have been made in the

Global warming is also known as the green house effect‚ is a topic that has received much attention‚ in recent years; yet our Climate change is not a recent problem. Every year‚ almost 7 billion tons of carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere by human activity. Global warming is in the earth’s upper atmosphere directly caused by human burning of fossil‚ fuels‚ industrial‚ farming‚ and deforestation. Every year we see natural disasters that are extremely powerful. For example‚ In April of 2011
