Imminent Consequences Of Global Warming

These last two election cycles have demonstrated the importance of climate change in relation to politics and the american people. What is unfortunate is that what seems to be a very crucial and real problem in our human survival, according to scientists, is being debated by people who do not have the scientific credentials to even discuss the science behind the reality of climate change. Those behind the skeptics, have funded a successful campaign against the reality of the facts and have introduce doubt into the sciences.

Supporters of the Global Warming Hoax claim that climate change is not due to human activities, instead it is produced with biased data for the purpose of financial or political gain. In this paper, nine sources, including reports from organizations, a speech from a senator, news articles and blog posts, are presented to discuss . These sources come from three perspectives: 1. Those who support the idea of global warming as a hoax; 2. Those who support the idea of global warming as a reality; 3. Academics who provide data and research relating to the issue.

For many years there has been a great debate between scientists who believe that human activity has major negative effects on climate change, and those who argue that climate change is caused by a variety of factors, not just harmful human activity. Those who support that belief that activities such as the burning of fossil fuels could cause disastrous climate changes and global warming and those who believe that research has been skewed to alter the way findings are presented fiercely debate when and how climate change should be addressed by governments. These debates have caused the idea of Global Warming to become not only a scientific concern, but a political concern as well. With both sides having strong convictions with respect to how the issues are addressed, it has allowed events such as “Climate-Gate” come to pass.

There is a dire divide between scientists politicians in America that has potential to seriously harm the entirety of the world. Nothing represents that divide as closely as the debate over climate change. An almost unanimous amount, 97%, of climate scientists believe there is strong evidence to support global warming (nasa.gov.) In congress, over quarter of Representatives and Senators obstinately believe the opposite, no matter what evidence is presented to the contrary (thinkprogress.org.) The depth of the issue became especially apparent when Senator Jim Inhofe, chair of the Environment and Public Works Committee, brought a snowball into congress as testimony against global warming. Even after thousands of people have pointed out the

Within the last fifty years, global temperature has increased significantly faster than the past 650,000 years. In the next one hundred years, the global temperature is supposed to rise by three to nine degrees. This may not seem like such a big change however, with a rise in temperature, many negative consequences will being to show. Some of these consequences include but are not limited to destroying the O-zone, increase in disease, powerful weather disasters, rising sea levels, and overall decrease in health for all things living on Earth. If people do not become informed by the consequences of what they do every day, humans may no longer have a planet to call home.

Climate change is the biggest and troublesome factor in the environment. Individuals are seeking to understand what is going to on in the world and why concern themselves with the term "global warming". It is a concern that affects the world and its well-being. Due to harsh events that can happen, it can affect many factors in that play a role in nations. It can change the weather in other countries around the globe. One of the most famous causes of it is carbon. Due to this, it is harming our planet. This crisis makes the world worse and contributes to the bad effects happening around the world. A thorough evaluation on the levels of the greenhouse effect, stimulators, and changes in nature will reveal the harmful effects of what is happening to planet earth.

“Temperature is probably the single most important environmental factor influencing insect behavior, distribution, development, survival, and reproduction“. (Bale et al 2002). Since insects are cold-blooded, the environmental temperature plays a very important role in an insect’s homeostasis. Homeostasis is the relatively constant internal physical and chemical condition that organisms maintain. Once the temperature has changed from its norm, an insect’s daily functions would be disrupted. “It has been estimated that with a 2 degree Celsius temperature increase insects might experience one to five additional life cycles per season” (Yamamura & Kiritani 1998). Scientists believe a warmer climate may result in higher insect populations. However, studies have shown that butterflies prefer a cooler climate. The butterfly population is decreasing at sea level but is increasing at tree line as butterflies migrate to cooler areas. For example, the Brown Argus Butterfly has shifted where its populations are most dense; a butterfly that was once predominantly found in Southern Britain, has now relocated to Northern Britain, a dramatic change of 79 kilometers. Butterflies at the highest-elevation site are appearing with increasing regularity. Those that normally breed at 7,000 feet now breed at 9,000 feet. When an area changes from rural to urban or suburban, the greatest butterfly losses occur. This proves that global warming is having an effect on organisms, even if the change

Global warming can be defined as the increase in the earth's sea level due to an increase in surface temperature. In decades past, there have been debates on what can be causing global warming. Greenhouse gasses and ozone depletion are one of the most important factors that geologists are facing in the fight against global warming. It presents a major problem for not only geologists, but also for policy makers, foresters, scientists, and most definitely the inhabitants of the Earth. Greenhouse effects consist of natural processes in which the temperature of the earth stays habitable. There are also many medical issues and health hazards that can harm humans, due to global warming and climate change. The ozone is also a major defense

Ever since mankind took a huge step forward with the age of industrialization, we have subsequently been destroying of own beloved planet. If no serious attempt to reduce our contribution to global warming, we will lose things that makes this planet so unique. Whether people think global warming is a serious threat or not, there is no denying the major physical effects to our planet throughout the past two centuries. Global warming not only shows how poorly our everyday live treat our planet, but brings along changes to both our climate, geography, and economical issues.

Global warming is a phenomenon that shows an average of the increase in temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans. In the last decades, this phenomenon has caused a lot of damage in several places in the world, those being reflected as floods, fires, and change in the temperature around the world. Therefore it is important to raise awareness to reduce the damage caused, which is mainly due to industrialization and a large number of factories that are around the world, and made by the human hand. Global warming is an increase in the average temperature of the atmosphere over time, which has risen mainly by carbon dioxide emissions, which takes part in the increase of the greenhouse effect. It is a natural phenomenon caused by a series of gases that are in the atmosphere, causing some of the heat of the sun to be trapped in the atmosphere, giving cause to high temperatures to occur.

Global warming is the gradual increase in Earth’s average surface temperature. Between 1906 and 2005, Earth’s temperature rose from 0.6 to 0.9 degrees Fahrenheit, and the rate of increase in temperature has doubled over the past 50 years. Throughout history, climate has changed due to the amount of sunlight absorbed as the planet rotates. However, over the past century, humanity has been another force that has started to influence Earth’s climate. Although there are many causes that severely affect Earth’s temperature, many solutions can help better our environment.

Although the terms global warming and climate change are often used interchangeably they apply to different phenomena. Climate change refers to change in earth's temperature humidity, air pressure, wind, clouds and precipitation patterns over time. Global warming is a

Climate change is the consequence of unchecked pollution. When carbon emissions caused by human activity enter the air they have dangerous effects on the environment, the economy, and our wellbeing. The world is seeing sobering signs of climate change’s accelerating impacts, from longer, more intense droughts to stronger storms and rising seas (CNN.1). Yet in contrast to the slow pace of international negotiations to combat climate change, national legislation is still not keeping up. When Al Gore gave his Noble Peace prize acceptance speech; he was not only accepted an award but he was also speaking about the awareness of his main objective stopping climate change. He believes that drastic problem that’s affecting every aspect of the planet is caused by the ones who need to be the ones to fix it. “We are what is wrong, and we must make it right.” (Gore.2). Today we still at this tipping point where the planet must decide the future they want for upcoming generations, what solutions they need to be able to do before they pass the tipping point, and how much influence of society do the planet needs to get the job done.

There are many topics of discussion that have polarized opinions, yet none are as hotly refuted as climate change. Although the discourse included is mostly about the causation behind our Earth’s recent rise in temperature, some people go as far as debating its very existence itself. The implications of climate change are severe and could potentially lead to a catastrophic event we can’t accommodate for. Scientists have confirmed the existence of climate change, yet they have not proven we are the sole cause, or that we are even the most contributing fact. There are many other facets of climate change effects, and our current path is being scrutinized to see if we have a lasting effect.

Global warming is defined as the continuing increase of global temperatures of the earth’s atmosphere and surface. This paper addresses the possible causes for this phenomenon, its effects on societal structure and policy, possible solutions, and the way going forward.
