Debate on Climate Change Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in average weather conditions or the distribution of events around that average‚ for example more or fewer extreme weather events. Climate change may be limited to a particular region or may occur across the whole Earth. I t is a broader context of human dimensions in which insufficient attention

Urbanization and climate change Cities are often blamed for climate change. Sometimes‚ this is on the basis of estimates that seem to have no supporting evidence. This can be seen in the much-cited suggestion that cities account for 80 per cent of all GHG emissions worldwide. Actually‚ only around 35 per cent of the world’s GHG emissions are emitted within city boundaries‚ although city populations account for a higher proportion if emissions are allocated to consumers. In other instances‚ it seems

INTRODUCTION Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in average weather conditions or the distribution of events around that average (e.g.‚ more or fewer extreme weather events). Climate change may be limited to a specific region or may occur across the whole Earth. The most general definition of climate change is a change in the statistical properties of

2015 talk in Belmont‚ NH‚ Governor John Kasich expressed his views regarding man-made climate change. He stated he believes climate change to be authentic and that an uncontaminated ecosystem is compatible with financial development‚ but he also mentioned that he assumed citizens will get thrown out of work by climate change policies (American Bridge 2015). Ultimately‚ Kasich’s views on human-induced climate change are consistent with scientific findings‚ but his theory regarding the consequential
