there has been no political or public discussion as heated and controversial as the debate over climate change. Climate disputes can be traced back all the way to 1837‚ when Louis Agassiz proposed a theory claiming that Switzerland had once been covered with large ice sheets‚ and have become a big part of the international scientific community since then (Archer and Rahmstorf 2010). Today‚ climate change is not only a scientific issue‚ but it has grown into an economic and political issue as well.

topics in the U.S today is whether climate change is manmade or naturally changing. This scientific subject has turned into a political game and is now flooding the mainstream media with lies about this idea. Climate change is real‚ you see it happening from season to season‚ but it’s not because of us‚ the Earth is just naturally changing. It has been for thousands of years. There is no evidence it’s man made and lies are serving through the people. Climate change isn’t our fault‚ the Earth isn’t

Summary: This paper looks at the controversial issue of climatic change. In particular‚ it develops the question of if and why earth’s climate is changing? The roles of man‚ naturally occurring trends‚ and earth’s cycles are considered‚ and an outlook for what can be expected in the near and distant future is given. The uneasiness of modern man arises from a rupture between himself and nature that leaves him homeless within the universe...’ William Barrett Introduction

Position Paper 1: Global Climate Change – Is climate change a natural phenomenon or caused by man? There has been some discussion and debate over the causes of global climate change and particularly‚ the causative forces that have contributed to the measured increase in the mean atmospheric temperature over the last several decades. Many researchers and climatologists have concluded‚ using climate modeling systems that the main cause is anthropogenic (man caused). Other researchers have

Native Americans depend greatly on the environment and their ecological knowledge‚ as the environment around them continues to warm it causes life threatening changes for Native peoples. For starters‚ their food sources are dwindling as a result of melting arctic sea ice‚ causing species like seal and caribou to continue to deplete. The sea ice melting takes lives every year in Native American reservations around Alaska because

GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE = GLOBAL WARMING In the last past years‚ the Earth has been experiencing increasing temperatures‚ leading to harmful consequences on our planet and its habitants. This has been researched and analysed‚ concluding to name such changes as Global climate change. As explained by the US agency‚ the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)‚ there are 7 indicators that would be expected to increase in a warming world‚ and 3 indicators would be expected to decrease.

too‚ but it is too late. This is carbon Footprints and climate change are real‚ and this is it. If the climate change keeps changing at this level‚ the polar caps will melt. 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

of Climate Change Relating To Polar Ice Climate changes occur naturally over long periods of time on Earth‚ and it has been this way throughout Earth’s history. Currently‚ anthropological influences on earth have triggered a quickening rise in global temperatures and this in turn is causing a rapid change in earth’s climate. One of the major changes currently happening on earth is the melting of the polar ice caps. Major impacts relating to the melting of the polar ice caps include changes in ocean
