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 (e.g.‚ more or fewer extreme weather events). Climate change may be limited to a specific region or may occur across the whole Earth‚ such as global warming. Terminology The most general definition of climate change is a change

Topic: Climate Change Question: What are the factors that affect climate change? Causes of climate change The earth’s climate is dynamic and always changing through a natural cycle. What the world is more worried about is that the changes that are occurring today have been speeded up because of man’s activities. These changes are being studied by scientists all over the world who are finding evidence from tree rings‚ pollen samples‚ ice cores‚ and sea sediments. The causes of climate change can

Why climate change is good for the world Don’t panic! The scientific consensus is that warmer temperatures do more good than harm Climate change has done more good than harm so far and is likely to continue doing so for most of this century. This is not some barmy‚ right-wing fantasy; it is the consensus of expert opinion. Yet almost nobody seems to know this. Good news is no news‚ which is why the mainstream media largely ignores all studies showing net benefits of climate change. And academics

Climate change is one of the biggest problems facing the world today. Climate change refers to the changes of the climate in which bad phenomena that caused directly or indirectly by human activities. Global warming is one of the main factors that contribute to the climate change. Global warming occurs when heat trapped in the earth’s atmosphere that caused by excess greenhouse gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2)‚ Methane (CH4) and Nitrous Oxide (N2O). All of these gases form a layer in the atmosphere

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

Is climate change a ‘ticking time bomb’? It is no secret to anyone that our planet is warming but what many of us don’t know is why and perhaps more importantly the consequences it poses. The roots of our problem lie in the form of a simple molecular compound‚ carbon dioxide. In 1870 the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was 290 parts per million. 144 years later‚ to this very date‚ it has risen to over 400 parts per million. But why does this cause a problem you may ask‚ well it is

Bangladesh has a subtropical monsoon climate characterized by wide seasonal variations in rainfall‚ moderately warm temperatures‚ and high humidity. Regional climatic differences in this flat country are minor. Three seasons are generally recognized: a hot‚ humid summer from March to June; a cool‚ rainy monsoon season from June to October; and a cool‚ dry winter from October to March. In general‚ maximum summer temperatures range between 32°C and 38°C. April is the warmest month in most parts of

short answer that describes the differences between weather and climate. Weather and Climate both take the same measuring elements of the environment and atmosphere (Temperature‚ humidity‚ pressure‚ wind speeds‚ precipitation‚ etc.). According to Sturman & Tapper (2006)‚ weather is “the state of the atmosphere at a particular point in time within a defined areas.” This in turn is opposed to Sturman & Tapper’s (2006) take on climate which is “the synthesis of weather observed over a period of many

blamed for climate change or the other reasons for climate change are mostly doing the harm? My answer for this question would be‚ no‚ industrialization can not only be blamed for climate change. From the beginning of industrialization our climate surely has changed rapidly than before. This scenario has made a concept in our mind that the biggest reason for climate change is industrialization where actually there are more reasons whether manmade or natural responsible for changing the climate.
