Climate change is defined as the significant fluctuations in weather patterns. These fluctuations could be caused by harmful human activities or even the natural processes occurring on Earth. It is also a broader term to describe global warming and all the changes that occur on a certain location’s climate. Some signs of climate change include higher temperature‚ frequent occurrences of droughts‚ warmer temperature of the oceans‚ rising sea levels and melting glaciers. It greatly affects the

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

The cities and infrastructures that we built in the past are deteriorating‚ clearly not created for the purpose of survival in this foreign climate. It is too little too late for the political sphere to attempt to make changes. They have ignored the warnings my colleagues and me have been begging them to give due attention

Climate Change and the Philippines Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in average weather conditions‚ or in the distribution of weather around the average conditions. Climate change is a “change in climate which is attributed directly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere and which is in addition to natural climate variability

Introduction Climate change concerns to a statistically momentous deviation in either the mean state of the climate or in its variability‚ remaining for an extensive period (normally decades or longer) (What is climate change‚ 2001). Climate change is term that adverts to any major and long-term change in average weather in a specified region or whole Earth. Fundamentally important variability of average weather over longer time period can be depicted as climate change. Climate change is due to natural

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

Role of IPCC in Setting Climate Change Policy This essay will critically evaluate the role of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in setting climate change policy. In order to do this‚ its latest assessment report (IPCC 2007) will be highlighted. The physical science basis of climate change that IPCC relies on in influencing policy on climate change will be reviewed. IPCC’s view of climate change will be shown to be the main stream view of climate change. The essay will also review

ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE 1. What is climate change? Climate change is a long-term shift in the climate of a s pecific location‚ region or planet. The shift is measured by changes in features associated with average weather‚ such as temperature‚ wind patterns and pr ecipitation. What most peo ple don’t know is that a change in the variability of climate is also considered climate change‚ even if average weather conditions remain the same. Climate change occurs when the climate of a
