increasing average temperature on a global scale. Many scientists agree that the primary cause of this phenomenon is the collection of various “greenhouse gases” and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. These gases are said to come from the burning of fossil fuels in order to produce electricity, which has been gradually but greatly increasing since approximately 1750. For the most part, global warming, or climate change, is a universally accepted truth – but for some reason, there is a large resistance
What are the Primary causes of Climate Change? Introduction It is ideal to focus on the primary causes of climate change with the aim of understanding the influence or implication on the growth and development of the planet earth. This paper seeks to unveil the major or primary causes in relation to climate change. This is through evaluation of natural and artificial events/activities with massive implication on climate thus changes in the climatic conditions within the modern society. I have chosen
think about the impact that their decisions would have, but now those decisions are finally catching up to us through climate change. Man-made climate change has been happening around Earth for such a long time that it is now the primary cause of most of the America’s problems and has killed countless amounts of people. Man-made climate change has caused numerous negative effects to our environment. These events consist of “flooding, hurricanes, tornadoes, record-breaking snowfalls and record-setting
Climate change in today’s world has become of great concern due to its effects on the environment. Globally, climate change has significantly 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 primary contributors to climate
Who Caused Climate Change? Throughout the years, climate change has become a topic that people are getting more concerned about as years go by. Climate change has an effect on the temperature around the world which cause nature to change drastically. Cars, airplanes, coal and other man-made things are considered to an enemies to climate change. Although it is a theory, other people think that climate change is something that is occurring to naturally by nature. Mankind has been accused of causing
English 1A December 1, 2017 Climate Change Introduction As climate change and global warming remain some of the most debated topics in the contemporary social and political spheres, there is need to establish the leading causes of these global phenomena. To date, climate change scientists have differed on the causes of climate change, with one faction holding that climate change is natural and another one arguing that human activities are the primary drivers of climate change (Crowley, 286). More recent
point of no return," warns President Obama, “we are condemning future generations to global catastrophe.” The point of no return metaphorically represents the place in ones journey that must be continued with no alternative routes or ability to make change. In consort with President Obama, many scientists believe the point of no return could occur if significant efforts aren’t made soon. Anthropogenic (human influenced) activities in comparison to natural influences have more of an impact on the environment
scientists. Climate change is very real. Climate change is a change in the statistical properties of the climate system when considered over long periods of time, regardless of cause (NASA: Evidence). The term climate change is often used to refer to anthropogenic climate change. Anthropogenic climate change is caused by human activity, one of the biggest causes of climate change (NASA: Evidence). It was found that human activities had the potential to drastically alter the climate. The term climate change

Climate change is the change in average weather of a region. Climate change can be, for example, change in region’s average annual rainfall or change in region’s average temperature for certain period (May, 2011)
Causes of Climate Change Global climate change has been a natural and frequent phenomenon since the beginning of life on Earth. However, the central debate concerning climate change is whether or not it is driven by human interaction with the environment’s resources. Carl Sagan said, “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence” (Baum, Haqq-Misra, & Karmosky, 2012). Claiming humans are causing global climate change as a result of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is definitely extraordinary
