Global Warming and the Economy (Copenhagen climate change summit‚ 2009) In order to talk about the problems which have been discussed and the solutions which have been found during the 2009 Copenhagen climate change summit‚ first we have to present a few aspects regarding the Kyoto protocol. The Kyoto protocol is a protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC or FCCC)‚ aimed at fighting global warming. The FCCC is an international environmental treaty

GE Chapter 1. Historical Background Historical Background to the Study of Climate Change In the 19th century‚ scientists realized that gases in the atmosphere caused a "greenhouse effect" which affected the planet’s temperature. These scientists were interested in the possibility that a lower level of carbon dioxide gas might explain the ice ages of the distant past. At the turn of the century‚ Svante Arrhenius calculated that the emissions from human industry might someday bring a global warming

Climate change is one of the emerging issues for global environment. It may be defined as the long-term change in average weather conditions‚ including temperature‚ precipitation and wind. This is already apparent as evidenced by higher temperatures‚ rising sea levels‚ increased ocean acidity and ice melt. Global surface temperatures‚ alone‚ have increased by roughly 0.74 °C (1.33 °F) between the start and the end of the 20th century. Natural causes alone cannot explain all of these changes. Most

The government assumes status with environmental issues and how environmental policies are made and the Paris agreement will also be affected by governmental policies through the Unites States‚ as well. Especially with the new Trump Administration‚ environmental policies and the agreements with the post-Paris accord are bound to change. In the United States‚ there are many threats to the

Climate Change Impacts on the Ocean Climate change has widespread effects. It doesn’t just affect weather and temperature. It will also have lasting effects on the ocean and the ecosystems within it. Coral reefs get hit hard by the temperature of the water getting warmer. “Warming of as little as 1°C causes coral bleaching‚ a state in which the tissues of the coral become colorless because of the loss of the zooxanthellae”(Hoegh-Guldberg‚Donner‚pg. 9‚ par 3). This bleaching can stress the reefs

The Chequamegon Bay is on Lake Superior‚ one of the 5 Great Lakes. Climate change could affect ports‚ harbors and marinas in two different ways. This is considered a shallow port that will be affected by large amounts of water going into the bay or by evaporation and lack of water going into the bay. One-way climate change may affect the bays harbors‚ ports and marinas is lower lake levels. Low lake levels can cause commercial and recreational boats to bottom out‚ keep the boats from reaching docks
