Abstract Human influences and pressure is triggering a range of environmental changes. These changes on the geography of the Earth within such a small time frame are unheard of‚ and may be irreversible. Climate change has a wide range of adverse effects on the natural world and manmade systems. The main concerns are the risks posed on the Earths geophysical and ecological processes. Many causes influence climate change with the main cause being increased atmospheric greenhouse gases. Other major

Climate Change and the Survival of the Human Race Climate change‚ often referred to as global warming‚ is a rising issue that has been further developed over recent years. To clarify‚ the term ‘climate change’ refers to any significant change in the measures of climate lasting for an extended period of time. Such changes include but are not limited to major changes in temperature‚ precipitation‚ or wind patterns occurring over several decades or longer. Therefore‚ the specific term ‘global warming’ is

1 CLIMATE CHANGE I have decided to talk about climate change for my first topic – as the weather at the moment is changing. There has been a hurricane overseas and we are getting some of it so the winds are very strong they say it can be up to 70mph some airports have been shut. Windy rainy days but still very humid. Sunny and windy days but cold. Climate measures the average pattern of variation in temperature‚ humidity‚ atmospheric pressure‚ wind‚ precipitation. Climate is different from weather

believe climate change is a myth? Discuss. Climate is the average weather for an area over a very long period of time. So this would include the regular weather seasons‚ for example winter‚ spring‚ summer and fall. In Trinidad and Tobago we have the dry and rainy season. I don’t believe that climate change is a myth because there is evidence of climate change worldwide and Trinidad and Tobago is no exception. Climate change is occurring‚ humans have a part to play in it and this change will affect

Climate change has taken significant changes throughout the years on Earth. These changes have affected the in more than one way. A Simple way to describe Global warming would be to say that it refers to an average increase in the Earth’s temperature and this increase may cause changes in climate. As the Earth warms up it may lead to significant rise in sea levels‚ chaotic weather patterns‚ and catastrophic droughts. The issues of climate change around the world are caused by human activities.

past century by about 0.4 ºC to 0.8 ºC. Recent studies show that the average surface temperature of the earth is likely to increase by 1.1°C to 6.4 °C by the end of the 21 century‚ with best estimate of 1.8 - 4.0 °C. The human activities such as land use/land cover changes‚ deforestation‚ draining of wet lands tend to alter the albedo of the earth surface which in turn influence the variations in the microclimatic elements such as rainfall‚ temperature‚ humidities‚ etc. Further‚ the process

What’s your opinion on climate change? Faisal Mohammad May 30‚ 2012 Science Class Mr. Greenley Lots of people don’t realize what’s happing around the world. It is being brought up on computer sites‚ televisions‚ and magazines. We don’t take the time to read about it‚ and find out what is really happing to our Earth. I strongly believe that climate change is happing to us and we could reduce it. We have been killing the Earth since the 1800s by polluting it.My three reasons why I strongly believe

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
