home to many of the most prominent‚ yet commonly looked over‚ indicators of anthropogenic climate change present in society today. Often these indicators are in connection with many other obvious‚ more recognized factors such as the emission of greenhouse gases or the drastic change in global temperatures. More specifically‚ ocean acidity can be looked at very closely to determine the severity of the situation of climate change‚ and how it is consistently affecting our planet’s marine ecosystems

period. These geographical periods are separate phases of time in the past and present used to contrast the differing geographical conditions on earth over time and suggest when and why they have changed. The Anthropocene is believed by many scientists to be “the current epoch in which humans and our societies have become a global geophysical force” (Steffen et al.‚ 2007). This suggests that whilst natural causes do contribute towards rising temperatures‚ varying carbon dioxide levels and changing

Introduction Climate is a term used to summarise the long term atmospheric elements that cause the short term weather patterns received in a place (“Climate” Britannica 2015). Climate change is the alterations the climate goes through due to a number of factors. These factors can be described as natural or anthropogenic (“Climate Change” Britannica 2015). Natural drivers of climate change are as a result of natural processes such as changes in the solar activity‚ volcanic activity or the Earth’s

PHI 103 April 22‚ 2013 Regardless of one’s stance on the global warming debate‚ all sides can agree on one simple fact: emissions and waste created in an industrial society pollute the air‚ water‚ and earth. Working to reduce atmospheric levels of pollution‚ including greenhouse gases‚ promotes green energy and industry while helping society adapt to a planet- friendly standard of living. Addressing environmental pollution through immediate

Natural Causes of Climate Change The earth’s climate is influenced and changed through natural causes like volcanic eruptions‚ ocean current‚ the earth’s orbital changes and solar variations. Volcanic Eruptions When a volcano erupts it throws out large volumes of sulphur dioxide (SO2)‚ water vapour‚ dust‚ and ash into the atmosphere. Large volumes of gases and ash can influence climatic patterns for years by increasing planetary reflectivity causing atmospheric cooling. Tiny particles called aerosols
