CLIMATE CHANGE What does the climate mean? Climate‚ like weather‚ describes the state of the atmosphere in terms of factors such as temperature‚ rainfall‚ and wind patterns. Whereas the weather describes conditions as measured in hours‚ days or weeks‚ the climate is average weather conditions measured over the longer term: months‚ years or decades. What is climate change? Any process that causes adjustments to a climate system – from a volcanic eruption to a cyclical change in solar

discuss each of the causes of climate change as presented in the film. Climate change is defined as a change in the sequence of the weather experienced at a given place. In the documentary film Earth Story: The Big Freeze‚ they stated that geologist before discovered that some parts of the northern hemisphere were covered in gigantic ice sheets. Scientists learned that waxing and waning of these ice sheets are the products of the warming and cooling of our climate millions of years ago. And

1 CLIMATE CHANGE I have decided to talk about climate change for my first topic – as the weather at the moment is changing. There has been a hurricane overseas and we are getting some of it so the winds are very strong they say it can be up to 70mph some airports have been shut. Windy rainy days but still very humid. Sunny and windy days but cold. Climate measures the average pattern of variation in temperature‚ humidity‚ atmospheric pressure‚ wind‚ precipitation. Climate is different from weather

opinion on climate change? Faisal Mohammad May 30‚ 2012 Science Class Mr. Greenley Lots of people don’t realize what’s happing around the world. It is being brought up on computer sites‚ televisions‚ and magazines. We don’t take the time to read about it‚ and find out what is really happing to our Earth. I strongly believe that climate change is happing to us and we could reduce it. We have been killing the Earth since the 1800s by polluting it.My three reasons why I strongly believe that we are

1. Introduction Scientific evidence of the world’s changing climate is unequivocal. The expected impacts of the changing climate are likely to adversely affect the well being of all countries and particularly the poorest countries‚ some of which are in Africa. The changing climate has been manifested in the form of: increased severity and frequency of droughts; floods and storms; water stress‚ coastal erosion‚ and higher incidence of vector borne diseases among others. The resulting declines in

Climate Change Essay I claim that human activities‚ like emitting greenhouse gases‚ are causing global warming. Some scientists have decided that we‚ through the greenhouse effect‚ are causing global warming by burning oil‚ gas‚ and coal. The greenhouse effect helps to keep the Earth hot enough that it can sustain human life. Sunlight come down through the atmosphere‚ and then clouds reflect some of it off and back into space. Most of it is used to warm the planet. When the ground is warmed‚ the

called the climate change. Simply saying‚ it is the change of Earth’s condition such as temperature‚ rainfall‚ wind‚ humidity and weather. And climate change could result in global warming which is the rising temperature of Earth’s surface. This fenomena began to be a global issue since The First World Climate Conference in 1979‚ which identified it as an urgent problem and encourage other countries to aniticipate it and find ways to overcome this issue. There are 2 factors that cause climate change

believe climate change is a myth? Discuss. Climate is the average weather for an area over a very long period of time. So this would include the regular weather seasons‚ for example winter‚ spring‚ summer and fall. In Trinidad and Tobago we have the dry and rainy season. I don’t believe that climate change is a myth because there is evidence of climate change worldwide and Trinidad and Tobago is no exception. Climate change is occurring‚ humans have a part to play in it and this change will affect

Is climate change a ‘ticking time bomb’? It is no secret to anyone that our planet is warming but what many of us don’t know is why and perhaps more importantly the consequences it poses. The roots of our problem lie in the form of a simple molecular compound‚ carbon dioxide. In 1870 the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was 290 parts per million. 144 years later‚ to this very date‚ it has risen to over 400 parts per million. But why does this cause a problem you may ask‚ well it is
