Alexander The Caribou Is Drinking Out Of The Warm Arctic Ocean With His Friends

Global warming has become an undisputed fact about our current livelihoods; our planet is warming up and we are definitely part of the problem. However, this isn’t the only environmental problem that we should be concerned about. All across the world,

In “What do Al Gore and Mount Pinatubo Have in Common” Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner argue that global warming is a challenging problem to address and may not be caused by people; therefore, people are reluctant to act on something they do not understand. At the beginning of this essay, the authors write about global cooling and how people reacted to it (737). The text then goes into detail about the effects of global warming and carbon emissions. The authors then write about the emissions of cars and cows. Per the text cows are twenty-five times more toxic to the atmosphere appose to cars (738). After that, Levitt and Dubner discuss the issues around global warming and how it is controversial for a scientist to figure out

Describe realistic strategies that Canadians could take to reduce their negative impact on land, water and the atmosphere.

This decrease has been not only increasing the sea level at an unnatural rate, but also endangering many arctic species. As these species are forced to change their hunting habits, the native villages are starving themselves, knowing only how to hunt the animals in the pattern they moved before. While the polar ice caps melt more and more, the purity of the water is negatively affected which, in turn, directly affects the air purity, too. According to experts from the Environmental Protection Agency, greenhouse gases are emitted mostly from electricity, industry, and transportation (epa.gov/climatechange). Even though the amount of greenhouse gases have been rising very unsteadily the past 100 years, these gases have been and always will be crucial to our survival on this planet, as long as there is a steady balance between greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide. When we emit carbon dioxide into the air, the atmosphere becomes more acidic; this causes the greenhouse gases to become further amplified and more likely to break down the ozone layer, which in turn pollutes the air even further, creating an endless

For the last two decades, the increased use of fossil energy caused the environmental problems. The evidence of global warming, like drying rivers, extinction of species, melting of glaciers, became more often around the planet. The climate change became a threat to healthy environment and prosperity of humanity and wildlife, and the world community started searching for solution to combat climate change. In 2008 British Columbia introduced carbon tax on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to reduce global warming. Starting from $10 per tonne of CO2, the price was increasing annually till it reached $30 per tonne in 2012. During that period British Columbia was reducing harmful emissions and improving economy comparing to the rest of Canada. However, since the price rise on carbon stopped in 2012, no improving changes in cutting emissions, economy, and overall quality of life have been noticed. In this essay I will persuade that British Columbia should continue gradually increase price on carbon tax to the level where it will significantly cut the use of dirty energy, provide enough investments into the green projects, and support low-income families.

The rising heat levels from burning coal, oil and petroleum (cars) is having a huge influence on the planet as a whole, but most specifically the Arctic Tundra region. The planet has warmed up 0.5 degrees since global warming was first discovered and diagnosed, and, although that number might seem very minimal now, it is actually a huge jump in comparison to normalcy. This unnatural, manmade warmth has caused Arctic Tundra ice to melt, raising the oceans and flooding people’ homes and villages. This also destroys the Arctic Tundra area, due to the fact that there will be less and less ice, and thus less and less habitat for the animals that live in the Arctic Tundra area. This leads to the slow destruction and melt of planet Earth. The Arctic Tundra region is wholly an area of freshwater, locked up by permafrost. But now it is melting, going from beauteous ice to water. And there are some people who simply don’t care, like Donald Trump. They seem to think that as long as they can make as much money as possible, then the environment doesn’t matter, which is obviously not true. Humans actually need to care now, today, not a hundred years into the future when the average temperature is 35 degrees on a normal day. This is one of the possible, albeit farfetched, implications of continuing processing plants and coal mines. The smog and heat they produce is detrimental in every single way to the Arctic Tundra region. Global warming is the second and largest danger the Arctic Tundra region

Global warming is known as a slow increase in temperature over the course of an extended period of time (Simpson, 2009). Canadians have long seen this term being used across the media on a whim, but could one imagine that one of the countries most responsible for the crisis is Canada? Global warming is affecting Canadians at an unsettling rate, a notable example being the Lowell Glacier of Kluane National Park, B.C. This glacier has been losing 22 cubic kilometres of ice a year- about 22 billion cubic metres of water. Thus, specialists decided on methods to slow melting, the best solution being to cut down on “human consumption of fossil fuels” (“Unprecedented B.C glacier melt seeps into U.S climate change concerns”, 2014). Regardless of its resolution, Canada will never be able to do enough to completely solve the issue of global warming without making compromises. However, Canadians have been taking the issue more seriously. Three factors exist that

Canada is one of the developed nations in the world and with that comes a certain type of lifestyle that its citizens are accustomed to and often expect. This lifestyle is definitely not conscious of the environment at most times, however is trying to improve or at least find some kind of alternative to environmental problems that we can’t actually fix because they’ve become an important part of our everyday life. For that, our lifestyle has been measured by way of an ecological footprint and the results obviously haven’t been something to be proud of. Although there are many reasons why the ecological footprint of Canada is so high, one of the reasons is because of our excessive fossil fuel emissions from our cars, trucks, busses and planes.

Despite its well-known Economic Action Plan and its continued emphasis on the need for more jobs and growth, it is still quite disturbing that the Canadian government gave a cold shoulder to environmental concerns in its 2014 budget. However, what has become clear in the last few years is that Canada is not committed to fighting climate change. In truth, it is not Canada that is uncommitted to the climate change cause. It is its Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, who is blocking all efforts to put Canada at the forefront of climate change efforts . And Canada should be leading climate change initiatives because it is one of the largest emitters in the world, and it is also a rich

Global warming is a serious issue throughout the world, and a thoughtful problem for Canada. In addition, this issue has evolved primarily because of the arrival of cars and the burning of fossil fuels. Also, with this more and more dioxide carbon or co2, went to the earth’s atmosphere and as a result temperatures throughout the world rise. As time passes, Canada becomes in serious danger not only because of the raising of sea levels (which can flood many cities and provinces) but it can also bring health issues to individuals as well as economic issues. Global warming is a real and serious issue that Humans are continuing to build up, (because of combustion of fossil fuels in cars, factories, electricity production, etc.) and as a result,

Canadian citizens are witnessing the devastating effects of climate change on our world. These major impacts are a result of human behavior and will get worse without any actions taken. Most of how Canadian’s produce greenhouse gas emissions is through Home energy, food/shopping, and cars/transport as this strategy of living can cause polar ice caps to melt in the northern and southern hemisphere causing habitat loss, sea levels rising/decreasing, temperature change, and El Niño. This global warming issue has taken a huge effect in Canada as finding alternative ways to reduce consumption of transportation, clothing, food, and shopping is required.

A research scientist stands on a sheet of ice. He looks right, then left, more ice. Off in the distance are mountains of ice. There are open patches of water in the middle of this great land of ice reflecting the vibrant and glowing sun. Waiting with patience around one patch is a polar bear, white and skinny. Skinny, as the polar bear has not eaten in days. It stands watch with hopeful eyes that a big, juicy seal will pop its head out just enough to get a bite and haul the seal on shore to feed itself and the bear’s two cubs. This area is known as the arctic, and it is home to many animals, such as the polar bear, but they are in danger of losing their home due to the melting ice caps. At the beginning of the article “The geopolitics of Arctic melt”, Charles K. Ebinger, the director of the Energy Security and Climate Initiative at Brookings Institution, as well as Evie Zambetakis, a Senior Research Assistant at Brookings Institute in 2009, asserts their credence of how the thawing Arctic, due to Global warming, increased the interest of the area worldwide.

Caribou and Reindeer are affected by global warming because their insulated fur and scarce amount of sweat glands. This matters because these features let them adapt to the cold climates they live in. If a raise of temperature occurs then their body will overheat and they will die. There are many ways to end global warming. One way global warming is happening is Deforestation. To help you can plant trees and spread the word to save the trees or plant more to replace the trees that have been cut down. Trees give us a good cycle of oxygen and carbon dioxide, without trees there will be too much carbon. Caribou and Reindeer need your help, what will you do to save them?

In order for us to help the wildlife during global warming we need to decrease the amount of pollution we put in the air. We can do this by reducing the amount of energy we use and how many times we use our vehicles in a day. We could also stop littering and start recycling. Land development is also a cause. All of these ways can lead to deterioration of certain species’ habitats. This is a serious problem and i want to persuade and and inform you what we can do to stop it and how it is affecting everyday life lives all the way to to the littlest things to the biggest thing. Global warming is growing at a faster and faster rate. Society thinks global warming is not a big deal and is okay with it. Nobody should be okay with this. Global warming is a horrible way of how we treat yourself, our planet, and the animals.
