binding international agreement to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions causing climate change‚ which was initially negotiated during the CoP-3 meeting held Kyoto‚ Japan in 1997. The agreement would commit industrialized countries to reduce emissions of six greenhouse gases (excluding 03 and water vapor) by 5% by 2012. Rather than placing a specific target on each of the gases‚ the overall emissions targets for all six would be combined individual gas reductions would be translated into "CO2 equivalents"

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

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

Climate change is a long-term alteration in the statistical distribution of weather pattern over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. The world is currently experiencing drastic change in temperature. This change can be felt in the tropical climate areas where the weather is getting hotter and hotter every day. The change in global temperatures and precipitation over time is due to natural variability or to human activity. It is also caused by accumulation of greenhouse effects (Arrhenius
