To put it in its simplest terms‚ climate change refers to the long term change in the earth’s temperature‚ particularly an increase in the average atmospheric temperature (Dictionary.com). Although there are some natural causes for climate change‚ most scientists are in agreement that humans are at least in part responsible for some of the effects we have already seen and must therefore take corrective action immediately to slow the process before it is too late and irreversible catastrophic damage

Effects of Climate Change on Developing Countries “Over the past two centuries‚ the average temperature of our planet has been rising faster than at any time during the last 1000 years. 1997 was the hottest year ever recorded and 13 of the warmest years in the 20th century‚ occurred since 1980”. This problem has to be solved by the developed countries because they produce the higher gas emissions and they are the main cause of the global warming. Developed countries have the responsibility

Topic: “There is nothing that we as individuals can do to prevent climate change”. During last several decades‚ industrialization and human activities have produced greenhouse gases (mainly carbon dioxide). These gases make the earth’s temperature higher that leads to more serious events‚ such as ice smelting‚ floods‚ storms and droughts. This is called “climate change”. Climate change would have significant impacts on environment‚ economy and the way we live so it needs to be prevented. In my

GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE EFFECTS ON THE CHAPPARAL Global climate change has been a subject of much discussion for some time now. The earth has naturally gone through heating and cooling phases in its lifetime. Most scientists agree that these changes aren’t solely the product of humans‚ but that the time required for natural climate change has been decreased due to humans. This has led to new problems for the earth and all of its inhabitants. According to research the earth is warming at an average
