Climate Change is not a new issue. There have been attempts all throughout the latter half of the 20th century to curb the effects of climate change‚ and some of them have even been somewhat successful. Extremely accurate measurements regarding the amount of CO2 present in the atmosphere have been taken since 1958 at the Mauna Loa Observatory‚ and the upward trend of the data gave us notice half a century ago about the changing of the climate. With this notice‚ several efforts have been made in the

Climate change and tropical biodiversity: a new focus Brodie J.‚ Post E.‚ Laurance W. In this review article‚ Brodie et al. expose a different approach to looking at the effects of global climate change on tropical biodiversity. An abundant amount of literature does‚ in fact‚ address the direct effects of climate change on biodiversity in the tropics. Brodie et al. argue‚ however‚ that while these efforts are extremely important and notable for current and future conservation efforts‚ little

Climate change has many effects on New England food production. As the temperature rises the crops being grown currently can not survive the warmer climate and a valuable source of food and income has been lost. Farmers carefully plan their growing‚ planting‚ and harvesting seasons and if the temperatures are unpredictable a farmer’s crops could be ruined overnight. Many crops are affected by climate change. Different crops need to be grown at different temperatures in order to survive. New

In this essay I will explain the natural causes of climate change I will talk about the Milankovich cycles‚ sun spots and also volcanoes and cosmic. Milankovich cycles consist of 3 different variations of cycles the first one is orbit which changes the earth’s orbit from spherical to elliptical this happens every 100 thousand years this changes the earth’s solar input. During the elliptical years the summers are very hot and the winters are very cold however when it is the spherical the weather

Consequences of Climate Change: Consequentialism and Environmental Ethics A somewhat commonly held concern is that consequentialism is an inadequate moral theory for tackling the issue of climate change. In this paper I will argue that consequentialism can successfully respond to climate change by‚ at times‚ evaluating the morality of character traits instead of actions. First‚ I will provide a couple major objections that consequentialism must overcome if it is to be successful in addressing the
