In Northern Africa and the Middle East‚ where political unrest has caused violent civil wars and riots‚ climate change has deteriorated people’s lifestyles and drastically changed the weather. According to Christopher Schär‚ a rise in temperature and humidity around the Persian Gulf will create extreme conditions that are intolerable to humans within the next century. Statistically‚ with the temperature rise of 0 .65°C for the past century‚ nearly 200 million people are living in regions that are

debate on climate change become so polarized? Players My first focus on the topic climate change is that climate change is considered to be global problem affecting the whole world. It is not one nation private matter nor another nation lonesome burden. To be able to discuss the polarization on the debate on climate change we need to be able to identify the “players” involved. In simplification‚ science debate with capitalism and social consensus over the real effects of climate change. Capitalism

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

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
