IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON COASTAL AGRICULTURE OF BANGLADESH Introduction Climate change (CC) is the most alarming issue facing the world today. The consequences of climate variability and climate change are potentially more significant for the poor in developing countries .The impact of climate change on agriculture will be huge and substantive. Coastal people are highly exposed to a range of natural hazards‚ from storms and cyclones to widespread flooding and coastal erosion. Table: Potential

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

There are many reasons for each side and it is very hard to decide. In my opinion‚ global warming is man made. I think this for

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 causes include deforestation‚ land-use changes‚ and chlorofluorcarbons

“The greatest threat affecting the development of the Caribbean is Climate Change.” The Caribbean is made up of 2 dozen islands‚ having a total population of about 40 million people. We experience constant rains‚ rising sea levels‚ earthquakes‚ and tropical storms/ increased tropical storm intensity and are considered the most vulnerable‚ in regards to any sudden changes in climate. Changes in climate are usually due to the greenhouse gases which are emitted into the air from burning fossil fuels

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

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 be
