Two major impacts of global climate change that will impact people outside of the United States are first‚ that with the increase in temperatures the ice caps are melting and increasing the amount of water in our seas. This has risen the coastal sea levels increase flooding for many regions. Secondly‚ the climate change has effected the weather system. Storms are becoming more powerful and more destructive‚ on land and out at the sea as they approach the coasts. With the increase in power and destruction

Climate Change Unless you live under a rock‚ you will have noticed what’s happening around the human race due to global warming and climate modification. It is not only affecting us humans‚ it is also affecting our vegetation‚ our animals‚ and our oceans. I recently watched a video by National Geographic about the precious coral reefs in the Florida Keys and it talked about how the coral reefs cannot keep up with the rising sea level‚ so eventually they will all just die (“Fighting to Save Coral

I. PROBLEM DEFINITION Policy Question: Given California’s current climate change regulations‚ which policy alternatives can California utilize to satisfy the rising demand for energy as well as meet 2030 emissions reduction goals? Problem Details and Background: With a population steadily growing at about 0.9% per year‚ California has the challenge of meeting energy demands while bringing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions down (PPIC 2013). California emits 359 metric tons of energy related carbon dioxide

Climate change is a change in the usual weather. This could be a change in how much rain a place usually gets in a year or it could be a change in a place’s usual temperature for a month or season. Climate change is also a change in Earth’s climate. Weather can change in just a few hours but changes in climate can take hundreds or even millions of years. Plastic pollution in lakes and oceans affect climate change because it harms air quality and creates ocean toxicity. Plastic contributes to ecosystem

Massive amounts of water move in the ocean currents‚ transporting warmth‚ nutrients and animal life through thousands of miles. Some of the currents warm entire continents‚ bringing life to regions that would otherwise be locked in constant arctic cold. Others carry food for wildlife‚ contributing to rich and productive ecology. To understand the enormous power of these currents‚ consider that in
