Climate Action Paper

Climate change affects people and nature in countless ways, and it often increases existing threats that have already put pressure on the environment.

To reduce the threat of climate change on cultural resources, Goal 7 in the Climate Change Response Strategy requests individual national parks to develop, prioritize, and implement management strategies to preserve cultural resources vulnerable to climate change impacts. The NPS’s adaptive framework includes: 1) inventory to determine what resources are within a land management area, 2) vulnerability assessments to identify climate change threats resources, 3) development of adaptation options to prioritize threatened resources, and 4) implementation of adaptation and/or mitigation option (National Park Service 2010). At KLGO, climate change threats include fluvial channel instability along glacier-fed rivers, increasing potential of glacial

There are many adaptation strategies for farmers to meet the growing challenge of climate change, such as breed and seed selection, water conservation and adjusting the timing of farming operations. These adaptations along with investment in agricultural production are required to maintain and enhance global food security.

One of the biggest problems in society due to the issue of climate change is the reduction and loss of crops and livestock, which can be

In the article “ Warming world is a threat to the world’s food supplies,” CCPA Monitor writer John Vidal (2013) explains that climate change affects food supplies and triggers a domino effect in the world, such as economy, policy, environment, and agriculture. The writer also indicates most vulnerable people are easily affected by climate change, as the poor people and children and the number of those people still rising. There will be up to 2 billion more people to be fed by 2050. According to the author, climate change will cause crop shortages and price increases, that government are actively adjusting countermeasure to the issues (Vidal, 2013).

Adams, R. M., B. Hurd, S. Lenhart, and N. Leary, 1998: Effects of global climate change on agriculture: An interpretative review. Climate Research, 11, 19-30. Web. 19 July 2015. The authors explain how climate is utterly important to the agriculture field. However, climate has been changing these past years, and it has obligated farmers to make drastic adjustments. Numerous amount of economic approaches and key biological issues involved with the consequences of climate change are elaborated throughout this article.

Climate changes on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis. The purpose of this paper is to discuss government regulation of climate change as well to explain various viewpoints on climate change, and explain and justify, briefly, my viewpoint on the issue of climate change. This paper will also describe command and control regulations versus incentive based regulations, and provide the advantages and disadvantages of each. Lastly this paper will describe which type of regulations I would advocate if I were in the Federal Congress or Administration and why.

Maddison (2006) affirms that adaptation to climate change impacts requires farmers to understand that the climate has changed before they can identify adaptation measures and implement the appropriate technologies. Mitigation concentrates on reducing the causes of climate change while adaptation focuses on the impacts of climate change (Legesse et al., 2013). Adaptation to climate change impacts has two distinct perspectives, the perception of the potential risks of climate change and the ability to adapt to climate

These days, scientific-technology and agricultural technology have been developed. However, in spite of this advancement, weather and climate change has influence on many facets of agriculture on bad side. It can cause the instability of agricultural supply and demand due to frequent unusual weather, the new disease and insect pest and prevalence of weed grasses. On this wise, climate change in agriculture causes great damage.

The social problem I chose to research is anthropogenic climate change, primarily focusing on how it will effect children. The reason I chose this topic is because it’s a great concern to me and the future of our planet. It’s almost unbelievable how large industries can be so neglectful to the effects climate change is having on Earth. I often think about how the generations of the future will deal with the damage our generation and previous generations have caused to our atmosphere. There is also the question if they will even be able to adapt, or recover from these extreme changes. This problem needs to be addressed now rather than later. The longer we wait the more damage is done to the atmosphere, which results in even greater hardship for future generations. The research composed in this paper covers what climate change is, how it is currently effecting us and how it will affect us in the future. The information also covers how climate change will specifically affect children and

Climate change is the term used to describe the warming of the average surface temperature on earth. Climate change; often referred to as the general term global warming, is a topic that often inspires fierce debate among those on both sides of the issue. One thing those who are pro and those that are con both agree on is that the temperature on earth has increased over the past century by an average of 1.4 degrees. The big debate on the two sides is if the warming temperatures are caused by human activities and if it is not stopped it will have dire consequences (the pro side) or if it is the result of natural causes and the earth’s surface will find ways to adapt such as crops becoming more heat resistant (the con side).

As human beings begin life in the 21st century, the possibilities seem endless. The technological advancements of the past few centuries have rid us of many of the problems that once plagued our species, including deadly diseases and wide spread famine in many places, yet it is all of our technology that may ultimately prove to be our undoing. The byproducts of the modern, technology-driven world are carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, and they are the leading cause of the current global warming crisis. The U.N. scientific panel of 2007 concluded that the evidence of global warming is \unequivocal.. Also, in agreement with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the U.N. scientific panel supports the claim that

For the interview paper, I interviewed William Carlile, a biology teacher at Northgate High School. I talked to him on March 8, 2017, about Climate Change and what he knows about it. I interviewed Mr Carlile in his quiet classroom at 2:00 p.m. and the interview lasted about 18 minutes. While interviewing Mr Carlile I was watching for any body language that would happen as he talked and I did not notice anything. During my interview with Mr Carlile, he related a lot of the answers to my questions with personal experiences and that gave the interview a meager perspective and feeling.

When one encounters the concept and idea of global warming, we inquire a wide range of opinions, facts, assumptions, and philosophies. As the general population of the world, the idea

Although some believe that Global Warming has been created due to manmade pollutants, I believe that Global Warming is a natural process that has been accelerated due to the excess emissions of pollutants from nature and manmade devices into the atmosphere. The world has been said to be on a cycle of global warming and cooling, this process can neither be stopped nor prevented, but it can be accelerated with the addition of non-natural emissions from automobiles and factories; because this is a natural process, even if constraints were to be put on the amount of pollutants released into the air global warming could not be prevented—it could only be slowed. When the inevitable happens and global warming occurs, there are many
