national and international efforts to tackle the problem of global climate change.

A large number of natural phenomenon and processes are affected by climate change‚ and these in turn can have a negative impact

By increasing the amounts of greenhouse gases‚ humans are creating an environment with hotter temperatures‚ melting ice caps‚ and rising sea levels. To add on‚ scientists are now worried that humans are potentially destroying the oceans by creating an acidic environment in the water. The acidic environment

I have always believed that climate change exists and I have seen proof of it. Speaking of proof‚ an example is a graph that NASA has created that explains the drastic increase of the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the past few years. As you can see from the graph‚ the graph sharply inclined upwards around the past century‚ passing the line shown in the graph. I have also witnessed glaciers melting away and Arctic and Antarctic animals hopelessly trying to cope with melting ice. However

Effects of climate change on Great Barrier Reek Rising sea temperature Rising sea temperatures have adverse effects on the Great Barrier Reef (Johnson and Marshal 2007). According to Johanna and Marshal (2007)‚ increased temperature has a significant role in destroying aquatic life because sea animals have a particular body heat limit to survive in the ocean. As a result of enhanced heat‚ this limit has extended beyond that limit (Laugh and Hobdy 2011). For example‚ 8 years ago summer weather was
