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

Climate change: Climate change is simply define as change in global weather condition such as temperature‚ pressure etc. Climate change is a change in statistical distribution of weather pattern over time ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be change in weather conditions or distribution of weather around the average condition. Climate change is caused by factors such as oceanic process (e.g. oceanic

Climate change 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 (i.e.‚ more or fewer extreme weather events). Climate change is caused by factors that include oceanic processes (such as oceanic circulation)‚ variations in solar radiation received by Earth‚ plate tectonics and

Even though climate change is partially caused by the natural cycles of Earth‚ humans are still a major part of it. Greenhouse gases‚ such as carbon dioxide‚ absorb and emit heat in the atmosphere‚ keeping Earth warm enough to support life. However‚ human activities‚ such as burning fossil fuels‚ are adding large amounts of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Earth must get rid of energy at the same rate it receives energy. More greenhouse gases mean that more heat is being held in the atmosphere

Why climate change is good for the world Don’t panic! The scientific consensus is that warmer temperatures do more good than harm Climate change has done more good than harm so far and is likely to continue doing so for most of this century. This is not some barmy‚ right-wing fantasy; it is the consensus of expert opinion. Yet almost nobody seems to know this. Good news is no news‚ which is why the mainstream media largely ignores all studies showing net benefits of climate change. And academics

of environmental changes. These changes on the geography of the Earth within such a small time frame are unheard of‚ and may be irreversible. Climate change has a wide range of adverse effects on the natural world and manmade systems. The main concerns are the risks posed on the Earths geophysical and ecological processes. Many causes influence climate change with the main cause being increased atmospheric greenhouse gases. Other major causes include deforestation‚ land-use changes‚ and chlorofluorcarbons

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
