Climate Change In The Article 'Cold Warriors' By Gregoire

As Earths average temperature increases every year, the discussion of climate change has become a significant topic in the scientific community. Human activities such as powering factories, running automobiles or something as simple as burning wood for heat, emit dangerous greenhouse gases. What makes these greenhouse gases so detrimental is that they absorb the heat radiating off of Earth and keep it in the lower atmosphere creating a “blanket” of warmth around the Earth’s surface. This causes a drastic increase in the Earths average temperature. Due to the rise in temperature, the polar caps have been melting faster than ever, this is dangerous not only because of the risk of floods and sea level increase but ocean water will become less saline and ecosystems will be destroyed, impacting humans just as much as marine life. In the article, Understand faulty thinking to tackle climate change by George Marshall, Marshall states that most people in our world today do not care about climate change because it will not affect them, “Which points to the real problem: climate change is exceptionally amorphous, … no deadlines, no geographic location, no single cause or solution.” (Marshall 2014). Because the author makes it clear that climate change is indeed a great plight, and fails to be acknowledged by people, it is a significant matter that should be discussed

Will McAvoy, the news anchor of HBO’s hit TV-drama The Newsroom once said, “The first step in solving any problem is recognizing there is one”. Canadians have heard of climate change cries for decades. However, this constant bombardment has lost its effect. As a result, Canadians have been taking baby steps towards resolving this environmental issue. The changes in the ecosystem of Canada and other countries around the world are discussed constantly. The fact is humans are using up the Earth’s resources before they can be replenished. Canadians should reevaluate their lifestyle because their fundamental survival needs such as: land, water and air are being affected tremendously. Through a goal shared by the Canadian Government, big corporations and the average Canadian, that’s when true change can occur.

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

This study is aimed at looking critically at the information on climate change effects on the people of the indigenous tribes of Canada. The research has analyzed the different types of informational pieces on whose content it has based its arguments. It has also looked into other resources using a basic grounded theory methodology. In it nature, he research is made to relate to the pressing issues at hand, as far as the tribes in question are concerned. That is: How Inuit communities are subjected to environmental influence due to climate

Climate change is widely discussed presently, especially after a sequence of adverse impacts have been caused by it. Generally, the public are unilaterally advised that climate change causes a series of environmental issues, for instance, global warming and disappearing islands.Although climate change causes those negative impacts, actually, climate change will benefit Canada in transportation, agriculture and mineral resources.

As world temperatures and sea levels rise, the effects of global warming will be felt most acutely in Canada and other countries far from the equator, a challenge, issued by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, for the world to “seize the opportunities of a low-carbon future.” But the report drew little fanfare in Ottawa, global warming is occurring – and that humans are the main cause. “As this report shows and previous reports have shown, climate change and warming in particular is amplified – that is, it’s larger – at high latitudes. So warming over Canada is larger than the warming that has been experienced [worldwide] and it is projected to continue that way. That warming over Canada will continue to be more rapid than the global [average]

1). While the growth of the Arctic discourse is now around the world, only a few countries are eager to act upon these events. The group is known as the ‘Arctic Five’, and the countries include the US, Canada, Denmark, Russia, and Norway. However, instead of these particular countries spending their efforts on saving the Arctic from a land with no ice, their efforts are on making the Arctic the next region to extract oil and other precious materials. Instead, to prevent the possible catastrophe of the Arctic without ice, the money should be funded into programs to eliminate main triggers of the Arctic’s melt, like preventing the build-up of gases in the atmosphere and limiting greenhouse

There is something occurring in Canada. You may have lived here all your life and seen it or haven’t never even thought about it once. Over the period from 1948 to 2013 the annual temperature in Canada has warmed by 1.6[Symbol]C {Government of Canada, 2015}. Along with that, the arctic region of Canada has been warming four times faster than the rest of the planet since the 1970’s {Feket, J 2014 & McDonald, B 2014}. The glaciers are also melting too. The Melville Icecap has lost 13% of its mass since the 1960’s {Feket, J 2015}. With these facts I have come to a thesis regarding this growing Canadian issue, the citizens of Canada, whether or not they are running the government or helping Canadian businesses grow, they need to do more about

Greetings, my name is Syed Raza and today I am representing the provinces and the territories in North of Canada. We will be discussing about the predicted and current changes caused by global warming to the environment of Yukon, North West Territories and Nunavut. My aim is to discuss the top three important environmental changes for which Canada and its people need to develop adaptation plans. Well, surprisingly global average temperature has increased by 2C to 4C in the past 55 years. Moreover, the precipitation has increased the most in the north, rising by 61 percent in the Arctic Tundra and by 32 percent in the Arctic Mountains. Added to this, it is expected for the temperature to rise 2C more by 2020 and 4C by 2050, affecting the natural

The author of the article “Implications of Arctic permafrost thaw,” published on March 2012, written by Ian Dunlop a former international oil, gas and coal industry executive. He was chaired at the Australian Coal Association in 1987-88. After years, he was chaired to the Australian Greenhouse office Experts Group on Emissions Trading 1998-2000. He was also the CEO of the Australian Institute of Company Directors in 1997-2001. A chairman of Safe Climate Australia and a Member of the Club of Rome. His article was published in a magazine which, informs people about the personal opinion Ian Dunlop has about the climate change. This source is relative for my thesis because it explains the impact of the melting ice, on the environment/humans.

(1) Discussions were held in class about how humans could respond to climate change. Two options could be mitigation or adaptation. Through mitigation, people would try to stop/prevent any further melting in the Arctic Ocean. This could be done by consuming fewer fossil fuels and sequestering carbon to stop the amount of greenhouse gases being emitted into the atmosphere. Through adaptation, people would have to face the consequences of the Arctic being ice-free by 2030. This would include building more dikes, higher sea walls, and creating pumping and drainage systems for all the ocean’s water that hits the coastal land. But, with adaptation, there will still be vital species lost.

Climate change has been research for many centuries; as early as the Ice Age. Obviously throughout the years, many researchers have had many ideas and those ideas about climate change have changed over the years. At this time I feel that I’ll give the current findings about how the research of climate change is observed.

The article entitled “Climate impacts anxiety” describes the changes in the environment like rising temperatures, delayed ice formation, Shortened season and shifting habits are becoming a big concern to the northern communities of Canada. Oji-Cree community is just northwest of Thunder Bay is experiencing climate impact anxiety. An Unusual warm winter in Canada brought an unstable environment. The warm winter is affecting the ice roads, infrastructure and hunting traditions. According to the article, the chief Roy Dale Meekis said “It’s very late. It’s very bad. We want to get our stuff, our supplies, housing materials, fuel. I don’t know if we’ll be able to get it this year (by road)” (climate impact anxiety, 2016).The unusual weather increased

The Arctic is global warming’s canary in the coal mine. It is a highly sensitive area which is profoundly affected by the changing climate. The average temperature in the Arctic is rising twice as fast as elsewhere in the world (nrdc.org). Because of this, the ice cap is getting thinner, melting away, and rupturing. Here is an example of this; the largest ice block in the Arctic, the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf, had been around for 3000 years before it started cracking in 2000 (nrdc.org) By 2002, the Ward Hunt has cracked completely through and had started breaking into smaller pieces. The melting ice caps are affecting the earth and its inhabitants in many ways. In this paper, the following concepts and subjects will be

James Hansen found out what objects produced the most Carbon dioxide and why there was an increase in the amount used. The results showed that CO2 represented 50% of the fossil fuels emitted. The results also showed that the growth rate of CO2 doubled between the 1950’s and the 1970’s, but leveled out from the late 1970’s until the late 1990’s. (Ed Dlugokencky and Tom Conway)
