Abstract Climate change in today’s world has become of great concern due to its effects in the environment. Globally, climate change has greatly influenced ecosystems and the existence of organisms. This is further extending its effects to regional areas such as Kenya, whose ecosystem is not spared by the changing climate. Despite having natural causes, anthropogenic factors are widely increasing and causing climate change undisputed. Therefore, human activities are the main contributors of climate change
Climate Change Climate change is a large-scale, long-term shift in the planet's weather patterns or average temperatures. Earth has had tropical climates and ice ages many times in its 4.5 billion years. From Climate Change in Australia 2016, changes to the climate system have been observed at a global scale, in the measurements of temperature at the surface, the middle atmosphere, increased, increased sea surface temperature, increased ocean heat content and increased water vapour in the atmosphere
Climate change is defined as a change in the Earth’s usual temperature or general weather. Climate change is occurring all over the world, and whether people think it is a problem or not, climate change is affecting the world politically, socially, economically, and geographically. Some of the natural causes include Earth’s orbital change, volcanic eruptions, and continental drift. Not only is it natural causes that initiates the climate change, but it is also perpetuated by human activity such
Climate change can be defined as the study of weather patterns over an extended period in any environment and at any time of year. Global warming relates to climate change because it is the ongoing increase of Earth’s normal temperature. The cause for climate change is due to the rise in concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere like carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, and water vapor. Issues that arise because of climate change are sea levels rising, growth in ocean heat content, and buildup
earth’s climate” said Steve Goreham, the executive director of the Climate Science Coalition of America and author of the book “The Mad, Mad, Mad World of Climatism: Mankind and Climate Change Mania”. Historically, earth climate has become a major problem after the Industrial Revolution during the 18th and 19th century and it significantly becomes a big concern in the present days. This essay will illustrate the possible root of climate change which is caused by mankind as well as nature. Climate is
Climate change is a topic scientists have debated on for many years. Climate change is occuring, shown in evidence from the changes on Earth. Science and statistics show that human activity is the main cause of drastic climate change, as human activity is greatly increasing the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. To begin, humans are causing climate change. Human activities are responsible for the use of fossil-fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. These activities cause greenhouse
Climate change is a major issue that has been gaining political debate over the past few decades. According to Britain’s former Chief Scientific Advisor David King, climate change is “the most severe problem we are facing today—more serious even than the threat of terrorism” (Worldwatch.org). Research shows that the overall temperature of the earth’s atmosphere has been increasing at an alarming rate. This change has not only sparked the rapid melting of polar ice caps, which are subsequently raising
Climate change is a change in the atmospheric layers of Earth that is caused by the increase of carbon dioxide levels concentrated in the atmosphere.This change is impacting Earth and will continue to do so if nothing is going to be done to reduce its effects. Climate change is the main cause of many natural disasters that happened in the past and are still happening today such as Hurricane Irma which is considered to be the strongest hurricane to ever hit the United States after Hurricane Katrina
debate has scientists wondering who is the cause of climate change . I think that humans are the cause of climate change. Rising level of human-produced gases released into atmosphere create a greenhouse gases affect trap heat and cause global warming. Dramatic change in precipitation, heavier storms and less snow both are signs global climate change. Temperature on earth has rapidly increased farther than can be explained than by natural climate change. The type of CO2 increasing in earth's atmosphere
Climate change is the change in weather patterns for an extended period of time and is also referred to as ¨global warming.¨ It is a widely researched and controversial topic because some do not believe it is actually a problem in the world today. However, a few academic sources and NASA (the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) has ample evidence and resources to prove that it is a problem. Climate change and global warming is occurring in the world today and it has extreme effects on
