The journal article “Fair Chore Division for Climate Change”‚ written by Martino Traxler‚ discusses why we should care about global climate change and what we should do about it. The article talks about fair division of chores among nations to stop climate change due to global warming. Responsibility and fair allocation will resolve the problem. Fair chore division includes paying or contributing on an equal per capita basis proportion to relative burdensomeness is divided among the nations into

GE Chapter 1. Historical Background Historical Background to the Study of Climate Change In the 19th century‚ scientists realized that gases in the atmosphere caused a "greenhouse effect" which affected the planet’s temperature. These scientists were interested in the possibility that a lower level of carbon dioxide gas might explain the ice ages of the distant past. At the turn of the century‚ Svante Arrhenius calculated that the emissions from human industry might someday bring a global warming

Climate change is one of the emerging issues for global environment. It may be defined as the long-term change in average weather conditions‚ including temperature‚ precipitation and wind. This is already apparent as evidenced by higher temperatures‚ rising sea levels‚ increased ocean acidity and ice melt. Global surface temperatures‚ alone‚ have increased by roughly 0.74 °C (1.33 °F) between the start and the end of the 20th century. Natural causes alone cannot explain all of these changes. Most

Climate Change Impacts on the Ocean Climate change has widespread effects. It doesn’t just affect weather and temperature. It will also have lasting effects on the ocean and the ecosystems within it. Coral reefs get hit hard by the temperature of the water getting warmer. “Warming of as little as 1°C causes coral bleaching‚ a state in which the tissues of the coral become colorless because of the loss of the zooxanthellae”(Hoegh-Guldberg‚Donner‚pg. 9‚ par 3). This bleaching can stress the reefs

In the novel the Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne‚ Hester Prynne was a woman who was forced to wear a letter “A” because of the sin that she had committed with Arthur Dimmesdale.
