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

demonstrate that the climatological changes we’ve seen since the mid-1800’s are outside the bounds of natural variability inherent in the earth’s climate system. Thus‚ any impartial jury should not come back with a “guilty” verdict convicting humanity of forcing recent climatological changes. Even the most ardent supporters of global warming will not argue this point. Instead‚ they argue that humans are only partially responsible for the observed climate change. If one takes a hard look at the science

Climate change is a long-term alteration in the statistical distribution of weather pattern over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. The world is currently experiencing drastic change in temperature. This change can be felt in the tropical climate areas where the weather is getting hotter and hotter every day. The change in global temperatures and precipitation over time is due to natural variability or to human activity. It is also caused by accumulation of greenhouse effects (Arrhenius

Global climate change has positive and negative effects on marine and terrestrial ecosystems. The cause of global climate change is said to be because carbon dioxide is being emitted through the large scale burning of oil‚ coal and gas‚ with an additional contribution coming from clearing of tropical forests and woodlands which results in wildlife life destruction. The carbon dioxide traps heat from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere and prevents it from being sent back out into space. The heat that

“The greatest threat affecting the development of the Caribbean is Climate Change.” The Caribbean is made up of 2 dozen islands‚ having a total population of about 40 million people. We experience constant rains‚ rising sea levels‚ earthquakes‚ and tropical storms/ increased tropical storm intensity and are considered the most vulnerable‚ in regards to any sudden changes in climate. Changes in climate are usually due to the greenhouse gases which are emitted into the air from burning fossil fuels

Climate change is one of the biggest problems facing the world today. Climate change refers to the changes of the climate in which bad phenomena that caused directly or indirectly by human activities. Global warming is one of the main factors that contribute to the climate change. Global warming occurs when heat trapped in the earth’s atmosphere that caused by excess greenhouse gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2)‚ Methane (CH4) and Nitrous Oxide (N2O). All of these gases form a layer in the atmosphere
