Climate Change And Its Effects

What is climate change exactly? Climate change happens when long-term weather problems occur. For example: global warming can be a part of climate change because the weather changes and the heat increase very slowly. Climate change is becoming a huge problem and is affecting the world's ecosystems and communities. The world could become one huge oven or it won't. Nobody knows.

Climate change has been a highly controversial topic for the last couple of decades, in the last decade it has come more ever so pronounced under the public highlight. It is a very highly debatable topic in which many sides both scientific along with general public try to search for answers on if it’s a human caused one or one that just what mother earth herself continually goes though. I will be covering both the scientific reasoning on what might be causing climate change and how virtue along with feminine ethics would view their relationships with the cause. I will be covering as well the other side of the equation on if we are really the cause of climate change or is it one that the earth itself goes through with no human intervention. There is no doubt that we as human beings are overcrowding and over utilizing what our little blue ball can accommodate, We are also polluting ourselves into extinction with polluting not only our waters but our land as well. It’s a case that we really need to look at before this becomes another inhabitable planet within our solar system.

Climate change has been a problem for many years. Usually, people tend to think that this problem has been developed in the last decades, but that is absolutely false. Climate change is originate from more than 5,000 years ago when the first humans beings started clearing land by cutting and burning forest according to the Professor of Environmental Science William F. Ruddiman. This happens because when forests are burn, carbon dioxide goes into the atmosphere thus causing damage to the environment. Clearly, the earth has experienced climate change in the past, but the current climatic warming is occurring much more rapidly than past warming events. The effects of climate change are affecting our ecosystems considerably. Global climate change has already had observable effects on the environment. Glaciers have shrunk, ice on rivers and lakes is breaking up earlier, plant and animal ranges have shifted and trees are flowering sooner. The effects that scientists had predicted in the past would result from global climate change are now occurring: loss of sea ice, accelerated sea level rise and longer, more intense heat waves.

Climate change is happening all over the world. From various regions like, the United States, to regions across the world like Antarctica and Greenland. Not only is climate change affecting people in the United States such as those who live on the East coast and are more prone to intense weather like storms or hurricanes, but it is also affecting various types of animals, such as polar bears. These issues will be further discussed. Regions all over the world, are experiencing climate change, because temperatures are fluctuating and in many regions, becoming warmer than intended. Climate change affects many organisms, and most of the effects of climate change are negative impacts on their life, or even destruction to their habitat.

CLIMATE CHANGE Climate change is changes in the usual weather patterns within a certain area. This includes how much rain a certain country gets during a year, or a change in temperature over a certain season in another destination. Climate change is not the same as changes in weather, as weather can change in a few hours or minutes, but climate change takes hundreds and millions of years to change. The climate of earth is always changing, the temperature of the earth can change and last millions of years, and then peak or trough for the next few millions of years. There is evidence given by scientists who study these climate changes that claim earths temperature has risen by one degree Fahrenheit in the last one hundred years. One degree Fahrenheit is even less than one degree Celsius, so it may not seem like such a small change could affect the earth, but this small change already has big consequences. CAUSES There are many events and variables that are beyond our control that can cause the earths climate to change, the climate can be impacted by the earths distance from the sun, as we will receive less solar radiation, Or the sun can send less solar radiation to the earth. When volcanoes erupt it can also impact the climate. But the main concern about climate change, is what we as modern day humans are contributing to it. Everything that requires energy, can impact the climate and causes a climate change. Driving cars, buses, motorcycles, boats, jet skis, requires

Climate change is caused by human activity. This climate change in turn, causes hurricanes. The hurricanes will destroy the human population main resources. This will lower people into having less important resources such as: food, shelter, and water. Having less resources could lead to poverty, which is known in developing countries such as: India, Philippines, and Haiti (Weeks 56). There are also changes in the oceans that are being affected. This change occurring could lead to the ocean over flooding due to contaminating the ocean caused by humans because humans have an impact on the environment. Humanity needs to cut down the production in the coal industry because people are burning the coal; this is causing the coal to pollute the air people breath. The effects of climate change is caused by deforestation, overpopulation, burning coal, and contaminated food production.

Climate change is the change in weather over a certain period of time from the average conditions. Records show that it continues to differ over the years. It drastically changes. It is progressing so rapidly, that the earth may be in danger of coming to an end. Global warming is caused by humans, and it is the damage done to climate change. As long as global warming continues to change, it will continuously affect the climate change. Climate change affects certain things in various ways

According to Adger (2010), the combined effect of climate change and limitations of resources is serving as a threat to the sustainability of the current social-economic systems and is poised to affect our way of life. Climatic change is more than global warming. The rise in temperatures is but part of the broader changes leading to extreme temperatures, drought, flooding, storms, rising sea levels, impacts on food production and a range of infectious diseases. Despite the awareness of the situation by the scientific community, it has been slow to react and implement measures to mitigate their effects. According to the club of Rome, the limited resources of the earth cannot support the earth’s exponential growth, due to the slow renewal. It estimates that we are currently using 50% more resources than the sustainable level, with a current projected population of above 8 billion to the sustainable one. Global warming and climate change is accelerating the issue, through reduction of the agricultural production and will effectively lead to physical damage that may lead to catastrophic effects like extreme weather patterns and sea level rise Adger (2010).

I feel like another bad thing about climate change is the fact that the weather will change in negative ways like making hurricanes and tornados much stronger and harder to combat which puts millions upon millions of people's lives at risk.and will cost countries billions of dollars to repair the damages caused by these stronger storms and if that is not enough, floods will also become a lot more common do the rising sea levels and the increase in storms which can be deadly. I believe one of the worst effects on the weather due to climate change is that fact that it will create more droughts due to the high increases to the global temperatures and these droughts will have severe effects on the people living in that area because typically when a drought is taking place, growing food is next to impossible which

“If international climate policy is to prove effective, government policy-makers will unavoidably need to take all business actors on board, not the least of them the multinational oil corporations. The oil industry is one of the most powerful and global business sectors today and its activities and products are directly linked with rising greenhouse gas emissions. Understanding its climate change strategies and actions is of utmost importance to those policy-makers aiming at constructive participation of the oil industry in the shift to a climate-friendly world.” (Van den Hove, Le Menestrel and De Bettignies, 2002)

Climate change has become a major issue in today’s society. Coming from the rise of Greenhouse Gas emissions and changing temperature caused human developments, world leaders and organisations are working on ways to combat the problem. This includes taking steps towards renewable energy and a cleaner future. Although, human activity is not the sole cause to the rising earth’s temperatures. Besides are use of greenhouse gases and fossil fuels, natural Influences including the current El Niño period and the natural carbon, nitrogen and water cycles impact our world. By predicting our outcome using technology, we can prevent major issues that would further affect the future of our planet.

It exposes a multifaceted sectoral impact or vulnerability of the past extreme events like droughts and floods

Global warming is the causation of the Glaciers melting, sea levels rising, cloud forests drying, and wildlife struggles today. Humans are making this possible because of their release of heat-trapping gasses known as greenhouse gasses by their modern devices. Global warming is the abnormal speedy increase in the Earth’s average surface temperature. It is believed that this is due to the greenhouse gasses that people release into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels.The greenhouse effect explains the process of warming the planet. As about 30 percent of the sunlight is reflected back to space and the rest is absorbed by land, oceans, and atmosphere. This absorption is what heats the planet. The rocks, air, and seas

Women make up a shocking 70 percent of people living in poverty around the world. The gender imbalance of climate change is about more than just numbers, though.  During natural disasters and extreme storms — of which many are increasingly linked to our carbon-loaded atmosphere — women often lack the physical strength needed to pull themselves to high ground or to run for safe cover. If this physical barrier isn’t enough, women are usually responsible for children and relatives and in extreme conditions; they have the added burden of moving everyone out of harm’s way.  Furthermore, they face social, economic and political barriers that limit their coping capacity. Women and men in rural areas in developing countries are especially vulnerable when they are highly dependent on local natural resources for their livelihood. Those charged with the
