Concept note for the Research study Title Climate change induced coastal hazards in Australia: An assessment of vulnerabilities and adaptation strategies Research question of Problem Climate change creates significant impacts in the Australian context and coastal communities are severely vulnerable for climate change impacts. This is mainly due to sea level rising; according to the IPCC report‚ in 2100 it will increase by 79 centimeters (Department of climate change‚ 2009). More frequent and severe

CRITICAL THINKING PAPER The issue of global climate change is a prevalent topic in modern society. Many scientists and experts have presented their research on the drastic effects of this global phenomenon. Multitudes of people have responded positively to this advocacy by deciding to stand by the issue through changes in their way of living or disseminating new information they have acquired. We see here that by simply making data and research available to the public‚ something positive can

Position Paper 1: Global Climate Change – Is climate change a natural phenomenon or caused by man? There has been some discussion and debate over the causes of global climate change and particularly‚ the causative forces that have contributed to the measured increase in the mean atmospheric temperature over the last several decades. Many researchers and climatologists have concluded‚ using climate modeling systems that the main cause is anthropogenic (man caused). Other researchers have

GLOBAL PROBLEM: RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLIMATE CHANGE Climate change is a tangible problem and its existence can no longer be denied. It is one of the most important scientific‚ economic threats facing to the earth. There are many factors lead to climate change‚ such as greenhouse gases‚ carbon dioxide‚ fossil fuels. Although it would be self-deception to believe that humans had nothing to do with it‚ the fact is that human activities caused negative effects on climate change. More people exploit more

hosted by Joe Rogan‚ Adam Cropp a documentary film maker gives his knowledge of climate change. Cropp begins by warning us that he is uncertain about the worlds future. Informing us what climate change really means and how it is going to affect the world in the long run. Cropp states‚ “Climate is weather over very large scales of time.” Along with that he also informs that there is a 40-year gap in pollution. The climate change that the world is experiencing currently is from pollution caused in the

INTRODUCTION 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 the distribution of events around that average (e.g.‚ more or fewer extreme weather events). Climate change may be limited to a specific region or may occur across the whole Earth. The most general definition of climate change is a change in the statistical properties of
