The scientific basis of climate change

According 2013 IPCC Status Report on Climate Change, climate change is occurring due to global warming. Observational evidence is coming back from all continents and most oceans,
And it shows that many natural systems are being affected by regional climate changes particularly temperature increases.

There is much scientific data backing the (intergovernmental panel on climate change) with conclusions and facts, based on changes in weather patterns (increasing temperatures, changes in snow and ice including, permafrost) also according to findings there is a high confidence that natural water systems, are also affected including, enlargement and increased numbers of glacial lakes, settlements in mountain regions are at high risk of outburst floods caused by melting glaciers. Governmental institutions in some areas are responding to the problems caused by global climate changes by building drainage networks and dams. The climate changes also lead to increasing volatility in storms and wild fires, droughts, and reduced energy demand’s and increasing sea levels.

The aspects of climate change we are certain of are as follows, increased water availability in moist tropics and high latitudes, and decreasing water availability and increasing drought in mid-latitudes and semi-arid low latitudes, hundreds of millions of people exposed to increased water stress causing localized negative impacts on small business and coastal areas, and increased damage from floods and storms, and leading to erosion in coastal areas in addition based on satellite observations since the early 1980s there is high confidence that there has been a trend in many regions towards earlier “greening” ( measured by the normalized difference vegetation index) Of vegetation in the spring linked to longer thermal growing seasons due to recent warming. About which we are uncertain is many of the long term effects of climate change.

    Global climate change has been a subject of much discussion for some time now. The earth has naturally gone through heating and cooling phases in its lifetime. Most scientists agree that these changes aren’t solely the product of humans, but that the time required for natural climate change has been decreased due to humans. This has led to new problems for the earth and all of its inhabitants. According to research the earth is warming at an average of 1.2-1.4° F every 100 years (epa.gov).…

    Because of the climate change, the earth is in danger. People don’t realize that the things they use or do every day are hurting the earth and living things. Nature.org says, “…one-fourth of Earth’s species will be headed for extinction by 2050 if the warming trend continues at its current rate…” Because the temperature is increasing, ice is melting. Because ice is melting, sea levels are rising. Higher temperatures don’t only melt ice but evaporates the moisture in the air. Evaporation will take away all of the land’s water leaving it as dry as a desert. With a drought now in progress, it will make it harder to find water and support agriculture.…

    There are many myths and facts about global warming, but the same question is always asked, “Is global warming real or not?” Many more questions arise from asking if global warming is real or not like, “is it the human’s fault or is it just the natural course of the Earth?” There is much evidence that scientist had gather to prove that global warming is real; for example everyone is aware the Antarctic glacier’s melting causing the oceans to rise and causing many problems not only to people but also animals too (Discovery Channel, Discovery Channel - Global Warming, What You Need To Know [Documentary]). The following are facts about global warming and how it is a real thing whether there are people wanting to believe this or not it is happening.…

    Global warming’s a severe concern that is plaguing our environments and communities. Global warming occurred when the rise in the average temperature of both the Earths atmosphere along with the oceans. Since early 20th century the Earth’s temperature has continued to raise giving merit to the beliefs that global warming warrens concern. Jiansong (2011) believed tropical storms became worse over the years and global warming has become such an issue become such an issue it needs to be combated. Miller (2012) preformed experiments to measure the change in the earth’s tempters over the years. Venkataramanan (2011) believed that global warming led to an increase of disasters like hurricanes, droughts and floods; Sherman (2010) believes global warming was a severe problem. Sherman (2010) people must first look at the global temperature change, secondly people must observe the climatic changes, and lastly people need to forecast the weather trends to get a better understanding of what global warming really is and how we can improve our surroundings. Jiansong (2011), Miller (2012), Venkataramanan (2011), and Sherman (2010) discussed the global temperature changes.…

    When asked the question about climate change, most people tend to have heard about the topic, but people do not know about what is happening to the earth. Climate change is defined as general increase in the earth’s temperature over a defined period of time, which are caused by humans and by nature, of increased levels of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Over the course of human history climate change has been watched and recorded to track the changes. In the last 30 years, there have been increases in general global temperatures which at the same period seen an increase in destruction of the rainforest, and increase in industrialization production, namely in automobile manufacturing.…

    The earth's climate is dynamic and always changing through a natural cycle. What the world is more worried about is that the changes that are occurring today have been speeded up because of man's activities. These changes are being studied by scientists all over the world who are finding evidence from tree rings, pollen samples, ice cores, and sea sediments. The causes of climate change can be divided into two categories - those that are due to natural causes and those that are created by man.…

    As everyone knows that global warming is defined as the increase of the average temperature on Earth. The temperature on Earth will rise significantly when heat from the sun is trapped in Earth’s atmosphere. It is also known as the main reason that causes damages to the ozone layer. Besides that, natural disasters, such as hurricanes; droughts; and floods, are becoming more frequent. The temperature at the Earth 's Poles is also rising rapidly. The major factors leading to global warming are greenhouse effects and deforestations. In the past years, the impacts of global warming were not noticed or taken seriously by the public because the situation was not widespread and serious. In the recent years,…

    Climate changes are affecting the earth worldwide. According to Arctic Melt Unnerves the Experts article “The Arctic ice cap shrank so much this summer that waves briefly lapped along two long-imagined Arctic shipping routes, the Northwest Passage over Canada and the Northern Sea Route over Russia” (NY Times, 2007). Ice glaciers are melting and sea levels are increasing. The climate change has produced many environmental disasters. The over population is sending people farther into the rain…

    Climate change is the most popular environmental problem throughout the world. The reasons of climate change include natural events and human activities. With regard to natural events, the tiny particles from volcanic eruptions block sunlight, which makes the surface cool for several years. Human activities mainly cause greenhouse effect. The reason of greenhouse effect is that the greenhouse gases are increasing, especially the carbon dioxide which has risen by 30% during last 200 years. And the increasing of greenhouse gases result from burning coal, oil and natural gas. As is known to all, climate change mainly incarnates in global warming. The research showed that the temperature went up by 0.6°C throughout the 20th century. And 1990s were the hottest decade during this century. Of these, it is reported that 1998, 2000 and 2002 were the hottest years on the record. It expects that the temperature will increase 1-3.5°C by 2100. Global warming also makes the sea level rising. For example, the sea level is likely to rise two feet along most of U.S. coasts. With global warming, the ice sheet, such as the Antarctic which also cause the sea level…
