Kerry Emanuel's What We Know About Climate Change

Dr James Hansen’s argumentative essay, “A Solution to the Climate Problem,” discusses his premise that it is imperative for humankind to deal with carbon dioxide emissions, which he believes needs to be phased out by the mid-21st century. He begins with the current paradigm in government efforts to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and claims that so far it has been a lot of talk and action in the other direction. Dr Hansen argues that while governments pay lip service to agreements such as the Kyoto Accord, they are going full steam ahead with projects that will result in increased carbon dioxide emissions, such as going forth with coal-fired power plants, coal-to-liquids, hydraulic fracturing, and tar sands oil extraction. Dr Hansen believes

The globe is being rocked by extreme weather and the hottest temperatures on record. As the average global temperature soars, there are floods, droughts, unusually cold winters, forest fires, and huge storms. Are all of these horrors being caused by human-induced global warming?

Global climate change is more than just raising the concentration of GHG’s in the atmosphere, it’s a serious health threat. Dr. Howard Koh, of the Harvard T.H Chan School of Public Health, has stated that global warming is a threat to human health because of an increase in respiratory and allergy aggravation,

The essay “The Climate emergency” is based on a speech made by Al Gore at Yale University in April 2004 to a room full of students. Al Gore is the former Vice President of the United States under President Bill Clinton. He is also an environmental rights activist. In the beginning of the speech the former vice president shares a story about his trip to a Shoneys Restaurant with his wife Tipper to draw the audience in. (300-301). Once he captures their attention he is able to focus them on his real message.

As lofty clouds lower their shoulders against the horizon, the sky likes to have its way with me, a warm front’s humid body slides along my skin, gently whispering against the arch of my back to curl around my waist and stretch along my spine.

I hope this proposal will assist the reader in understanding our Earth’s critical condition and ways even an individual can attribute to the betterment of our environment.

This webpage describes multiple advantages of wind power. It as well describes the challenges that come with wind power. It also describes how wind power is a clean, renewable source of

“All across the world, in every kind of environment and region known to man, increasingly dangerous weather patterns and devastating storms are abruptly putting an end to the long-running debate over whether or not climate change is real. Not only is it real, it's here, and its effects are giving rise to a frighteningly new global phenomenon: the man-made natural disaster.” BARACK OBAMA, speech, Apr. 3, 2006. Climate change is not a theory contrary to what many individuals believe and is in fact confirmed by major scientific agencies such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in the United States. Global Warming causes are mainly due to greenhouse gases

I chose an article in the CLIMATE MONITORING section. "To Study Earth’s Climate, Look to the Ocean" by Christopher Sarro on October 3, 2017

In his article, titled “Washed Away: The Threat of Global Warming,” Andrew Ma, writer for the Harvard International Review, tackles some of the devastating effects of global warming that are all too frequently overlooked. Ma points out the importance of a largely unknown consequence of rising tides due to global warming, the total submergence of numerous island nations. While many effects of global warming are often discussed in the long-term, Ma emphasizes the immediate importance of this issue, stating that the complete flooding of these islands will take place within “30-50 years,” and that action must be taken now, not only by native island residents, but by the global community and government.

Earth is an immeasurably complex planet, and the processes that make it so are equally as intricate. It is this same intricacy, however, that makes the Earth so vulnerable to even the slightest variation in overall temperature or change within the gases that which compose the atmosphere. What We Know About Climate Change by Kerry Emanuel aims to address this issue of Earth’s vulnerability head-on as it suggests the plausible causes for the undeniable planetary warming observed in the last century all the while proposing pragmatic solutions to discontinue the unnatural processes credited with the abnormal warming.

If I was on the advisory board to approve this type of reactor, I would not approve it. For several years, scientists have been warning of the imminent climate changes occasioned by increased energy consumption. In the documentary, Alec Baldwin warns that temperatures have been rising unprecedentedly globally because of the effects of the greenhouse warming. However, most people have simply turned a blind eye or used excuses to justify their activities and continue to make the earth a hostile place to stay in. Global warming is said to have been sparked by the world’s insatiable appetite for energy. The world would be terribly hot if the temperatures increased even by one degree. The narrator of the documentary states that the world would

Can humans really control the weather? Have you ever noticed the longer and hotter summer? Are some of the things humans do causing the weather, mainly temperature, to change? Global warming is the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that causes the temperatures to rise all around the world affecting everything and everyone. Greenhouse gases being a type of gas, usually in our atmosphere, that traps in heat. As he says in in article “Life in the Greenhouse”, Michael Lemonick states that: “the idea that the planet was warming up as a result of human activity was largely theoretical. We knew that since the Industrial Revolution began in the 18th century, factories and power plants and automobiles and farms have

This article critically examines the ways in which individuals could help reduce the impacts of global warming. The author challenges that every individual could significantly minimise the effects of global warming by adopting to a more responsible lifestyle.

There were three major steps to our research. We gathered literary sources on climactic trends, spoke to stakeholders, and then created maps to show our findings.
