Climate Change: Human Activity is to Blame
Climate change is an extremely serious threat because it affects every living thing on the planet. Climate change can have destructive effects like causing extreme weather events, ocean acidification and increasing global temperature. These are only few of the effects of climate change and if it continues can even cause the extinction of humanity. Much of the scientific community agrees that our use of fossil fuels is the cause and our continued dependency will most definitely lead to problems. Although there is evidence that human activity to blame for climate change some people deny its very existence. Some of these people have perspectives that make sense, but lack scientific evidence to support their arguments. There should not be any debate or skepticism surrounding climate change because human activity is the problem. Although the effects of climate change have been subtle so far they are unmistakable. Research done by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) show that the atmosphere and ocean have warmed ice has melted and the sea level has risen. Their research also shows that the weather patterns in certain areas have started to change. Many places have started to see less cold days and much more hot days. The World Meteorological organization said that the increase of hot days has increased the deaths caused by heat related reasons have increased by twenty percent. They also report that since 1895 nine of the
People can have the most striking similarities, but also have many differences. Sometimes, they have very similar characters to remind you of each other. In the play “The Ring of General Macas” by Josefine Niggli and the film “Pan's Labyrinth” by Guillermo del Toro, the two characters Carmen and Mariana are similar, however they face the trials and challenges of life very differently. The characters of Carmen and Mariana are similar. An example is that I think they both need a husband to live in a time of war, or in this case, a revolution.
The human race all around the world wonders if the climate is changing due to human activity or if it is just a natural occurrence. At certain parts of the Earth's surface, the climate can be observed much differently than other locations. As the years go by the average temperature of the Earth increases by little intervals. There are several different reasons why people believe the climate is changing every year. However, the increase of worldwide population and production of heat to the atmosphere is due to the increase of human activities that take place on a daily basis. Human activity is the main cause of the global climate change. The human impact on climate exceeds any known changes due to natural processes. The impact of this human activity is often misunderstood when looking at climate change.
The danger to people caused by these topics has enhanced considerably over the last decades, and governments should place emphasis on these problematic issues. Climate change is still a controversial question, while the already mentioned problems have plenty of empirical evidences of the ongoing crisis caused by these issues. So, if group of scientists-skeptics is right that climate change is not as dangerous as some people try to position it, as I think they are, then we need to reassess the popular assumption that changes in nature are the primary problem for the
The IPCC define climate change as “change in the state of the climate that can be identified (e.g. using statistical tests) by changes in the mean and/or the variability of its properties, and that persists for an extended period, typically decades or longer. It refers to any change in climate over time, whether due to natural variability or as a result of human activity” ( “Observed”). In today’s society, there are various opinions over whether humans are contributing to climate change or if natural causes are contributing to climate change. Some people believe that humans are the main contributor to climate change, whilst others believe that natural causes are playing a substantially bigger role in contributing to climate change. Both human and natural causes play a role in contributing to climate change.
Climate change, also know as global warming, is a huge, global issue in our world today. Eventually, our lives “may be threatened by rising sea levels, disrupted food production, extreme weather, and emergent diseases” (TGES). Since 1750 and the early 19th century, “the planet's average surface temperature has risen about 2.0 degrees Fahrenheit (1.1 degrees Celsius) since the late 19th century” (NASA GCC). But why are people worried about the future of climate change? Well, global warming is dangerous to us humans. If the temperature continued to increase at the rate it is increasing now every year, the world would not be how it is today. Warmer air increases pollution in the ozone layer; this triggers symptoms of asthma and many other breathing problems. Humans won’t be the only thing that climate change will affect. Climate change will eventually cause most forests in the southeast of the U.S. to turn to grasslands; deserts might spread around the globe, and places like the tropics and polar regions will be unfit to live in (UXL Encyclopedia of Weather and Natural Disasters). In summary, the world will be uninhabitable.
Through the eyes of most scientists, global warming is seen as a very serious and severe threat. The actions taken by humans, such as industry and consumption of fossil fuels plus the increase in population and agriculture have played a big part in global warming. If something is not done soon the results could be very bad.
This paper analyses the human activities that lead towards global climatic changes. It establishes the thought that human behavior and activities that are the major cause of global climatic changes, therefore, human beings shall alter their lifestyles in order to put a stop at the global climatic changes.
The idea of global warming has been around for over one hundred years, but in recent decades climate change has become a serious threat to national security. To better understand, global warming is defined as the gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere, generally recognized as the greenhouse effect, and is caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, CFCs, and other pollutants, also known as greenhouse gases. Researchers have debated for years about the main causes of global warming. Although history can show that global warming is inevitable, the majority of evidence points to human industry and agriculture as a primary cause for this
The earth is warming. No credible scientist will deny this fact. Certain gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, trap and absorb the sun’s energy and re-radiate that thermal radiation in all directions, which causes the Earth’s surface to warm. This is known as the greenhouse effect, which is another undeniable fact. The greenhouse effect is not a new concept, however the media portrays its influence to be entirely harmful on the climate. Most people fail to realize that if greenhouse gases were absent in the atmosphere, the average global temperature would drop to -18°C (Farley 69-75). It is safe to assume that the greenhouse effect is vital to human lifestyle and existence because without greenhouse gases the oceans would be completely sheeted by ice and the entire biosphere would be dramatically different. On the other hand, an overabundance of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere could also prove to dramatically change Earth’s environment by flooding most of the land on earth and then leading to a possibly massive drought. Humanity as a whole needs to realize that the emissions released during human activity, especially carbon dioxide, are greatly affecting the climate. While looking at concrete facts, even though a 1500-year natural earth cycle is evident, the fastest temperature increase in recorded earth history cannot be disregarded, and neither can the melting ice caps due to increasing atmospheric carbon
Most of the blame for climate change over the years especially after the 1850’s has been placed on humans. As long as modern humans have roamed the earth, they have been upsetting the natural balance of the earth. People have did this by clearing areas of land, killing animals, polluting water, etc. Before the “modern human”, people like the Native Americans cared for the earth. They respected the land and the people that cared for it. Unfortunately, people don’t care anymore. Until recently, people did not care for the earth. People did not realize the harm they were causing it. Now we know how detrimental things are that we continue to do and used to do.
Barring only a handful of old people represented by a red elephant, climate change is recognized as the most pressing contemporary environmental issue. In fact, there is an endless stream of studies and research articles published daily about climate change and the eventual effects it will have on human civilization. For the purposes of simplicity, I’m going to take the most extreme stance and say unchecked pollution-induced climate change will result in a combination of polar icecap melting and ozone depletion which will cause a permanent winter. Obviously, there is debate amongst climatologists to the extent of the devastation that climate change will have on humanity, but I’ll ignore those for the sake of this topic. Let’s assume the
Debates about global warming have received much attention in the last few years. Opponents may say global warming is a natural cause however, the reality is global warming is occurring due to human activity. Global warming is best defined as a term used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere and its oceans, a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth’s climate. Global warming does not only increase temperature it is also capable of decreasing temperature in Earth’s climate. Global warming is occurring due to human activity because of industrial purposes, lack of education, nuclear power waste and testing, automobile pollution and greenhouse gases.
Climate change is a highly talked about topic. Scientist have been studying this for many and many years. There are facts that say climate change occurs from natural things like volcanic eruptions, solar activity, and orbital change. Scientist say that its caused by human activities. This is being sent to you because you need to know that climate change is happening from humans more then other things like natural processes. You have inspired me to try my hardest to get to the top and be my best because I have worked for it. I feel like you 're the one to write my letter to because you will understand why this will need to stop and hopefully you can do something about it.Climate Change is being speedup by human activities like burning fossil fuels, deforestation,and Carbon dioxide being released by cars
When you hear the word Climate Change, what do you think of? Some people have discussed this topic for many years. It is described as an average temperature of the Earth’s climate, which many studies have shown the climate system has been warming. Climate change exists, and it has thrown an effect on animals, humans and things. It has been proven by scientific research that it is a threat on civilization. For many of years the scientist and the government has been hiding how dangerous the climate change really is and, how it’s effecting our world as a nation. There is many research have shown that there is a debate of climate and has been a global threat for humanity.
“Climate change is undeniable. Climate action is unstoppable.Climate solutions provide opportunities that are unmatchable” ( Andrew Hansen,2017).Scientists are concerned about some of the consequences of global climate change. There are several things that can cause global climate change. But the main reason of this is human activities. Humans play a big role in global climate change. Human activity is responsible for global climate change and it has to deal with greenhouse gases, air pollution, the rise in temperature.
