Summary: The Netherlands Live With Water

According to the National Assessment Synthesis Team the magnitude of global warming may become extreme as published in there “Climate Change Impacts on the United States”, the United States is expected to undergo rapid and extreme climate change during the twenty-first century if no actions are taken place to reduce the rising greenhouse gas emissions. The effects of these rapid changes which will likely strain the U.S. population with environmental, social, and economic disruptions. If humanity does not take action to stop this threat we will end up with a world that our future generations will not be able to enjoy as we did. In (“W2K: The Extreme Weather Era”) Gar Smith goes on to inform of us of the detrimental effects that global warming will have on us which include but not limited to floods, droughts, and powerful storms that have already begun to affects the world already, these events will be the catalyst for forced resettlement of population and the redesign of industries around the world due to changing weather patterns which will result in disrupted economies worldwide. In (“Pilgrim at Tinker Creek” by Annie Dillard) a flood occurs in which one of friends’ houses became water damaged she seems to be completely unaware of climate change or global warming as she does not even come to a thought that the cause of the flood could be

The Unites States of America is currently working to combat climate change in order to protect people from its effects. By combatting climate change, the USA hopes to prevent its effects from becoming worse in the future because the USA cares for its citizens and doesn’t want them to keep experiencing the consequences of climate change. The USA is putting great effort into dealing with climate change and also hopes that other businesses, organization, and individuals will join them in their effort (Environmental News Service). One concern the USA has towards climate change is its cause of natural disasters. Climate change is bringing more natural disasters by making weather patterns stronger, and weather patterns are becoming stronger as climate change grows which is bringing more natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and drought to the USA (Rice). One example of a natural disaster that occurred in the USA as a result of climate change is the tornado in Moore, Oklahoma. In this event, a tornado rated 5 on the Enhanced Fuijta scale hit Oklahoma and had a negative impact on this city by destroying many of its houses and buildings also resulting in the destruction of businesses such as schools (Cable News Network). Another major concern of the USA towards climate change is that it will cause a rise in the global sea level which will result in many of its coastal cities to be submerged underwater. There will be a permanent 4 feet rise in the global sea level

This New York Times Bestseller is very informative and influential which was imperative because most of our population does not understand the significance of climate change and our world dying out. With the knowledge and help of several other

With the rise of calamitous news regarding extremists groups taking over certain states, countries threatening to go to war, and viruses spreading throughout the world; the outlook of humanity does not look good. In addition to these dire headlines is the matter of climate change, which, unfortunately, is not as alarming to the public eye. Nonetheless, climate change is a pressing matter as it will impact every facet of society from economy to even human survival. Perhaps the general public find climate change as a vapid subject because of its nature to react belatedly to human activity, and how it is often represented with numbers, graphs, and projections; things that are not compelling to those that do not understand its importance. Even

The novel, written by renowned journalist Elizabeth Kolbert, is very informative and influential. The novel is imperative to the twenty-first century and this generation because most of our population does not understand the significance of climate

The Earth is where all known life resides. Climate change threatens this blue world. The opinion of one in four Americans who are skeptical does not matter on a fact with mountains of research on it. Global and sea surface temperatures are rising; heat waves are becoming more common; and glaciers are melting. Scientists say “humans are causing global warming” which affects the sensitivity of the climate. The rise in greenhouse levels from carbon dioxide and other pollutants from use of fossil fuels is a uniquely from humans.

Article thesis: People already care about the climate change and are aware of it. They understand the problems it concerns; however, they are not connecting the current climate changes with the effects of our surroundings or on ourselves

Climate change is a real phenomenon that is occurring throughout the world and causing problems that stress and cause a variety of problems and issues in society. Some effects of climate change are rising sea levels, increased average temperatures, loss of ice sheet cover, hotter more recurrent droughts and changes in precipitation. Climate change and land degradation have affected the Sahel region of Africa by causing a decrease in arable land and this will lead to conflict and cause millions to become climate change refugees.

The truth is that storms have been harsher and more frequent, oceans are becoming warmer due to the overall increase in the atmospheric temperature. The truth is that hurricanes, which are directly linked to warmer ocean temperatures, are consequently becoming more extreme. The truth is that oceans are rising in acidification and marine ecosystems are suffering from hypoxia. We can’t sit idly by and depend on other countries to repair seams ripped by global superpowers like the United States. In America, we make up just 5% of the world’s population, but our ecological footprint is 8.2, more than twice that of China’s.

The glaciers are gone. Many animals are dead. Only a few humans survive. The temperature is always warm or hot. Food is extremely limited. Most plants have died. The sea level has risen. Hurricanes and storms plague what is left of the earth. This is the future that humans have in store for themselves and their posterity if they do not halt the effects of global warming and climate change now. Global warming is the result of humans’ use and release of various heat-trapping gases for energy and power in many aspects of life. These gases, also known as greenhouse gases, are rising to the atmosphere and are effectively raising the temperature of the planet because they trap in the heat. This is known as the greenhouse effect, where light is let in but heat is trapped, similar to an actual greenhouse. As these heat-trapping gases increase in the atmosphere, more heat is trapped therefore increasing the temperature and causing other detriments to our planet. The world problem of the increase in global temperature due to trapped greenhouse gases affects humans tremendously, mostly through the use and unavailability of crops and livestock, harmful effects on coastal cities, and the health risks to humans, which can be ameliorated by a change in human production and living by using renewable resources and energy to decrease CO₂ emissions.

Global warming, along with all of its negative impacts, harms the populations living on the Earth. Whether it is direct harm to an individual or harm caused to something which then impacts an individual, the effects of global warming do not go unnoticed. Due to its level of impact, “[c]limate change is … the greatest threat facing humanity. It will lead to small island states disappearing from the face of the earth, serious global threats to our food and water supplies, and ultimately the death of hundreds of millions of the poorest people in the world over the course of this century” (Doebbler). The list of consequences associated with climate change is infinite. This list will only continue to grow if society does not make an effort to do anything about it. If people were to realize that they themselves are the ones posing a threat to humanity, the situation would be different. However, most humans fail to recognize that global warming even exists, let alone the environmental, social, and economic toll it takes on the world. Instead, society concerns itself with other conflicts which it views as more important, leaving no room to worry about climate change. Many controversial issues exist in today’s society. They all have their own degree of importance and numerous consequences associated with them, and most of these issues will in some way, shape, or form impact

What We Know About Climate Change by Kerry Emanuel is an attempt to simplify the overall causes and effects of climate change on our planet, while also connecting it to everyday people in order to prove that climate change effects everyone. This novel covers ideas such as, how our futures will be effected by a rapidly changing climate, what we are doing as humans to change our current ways which have been so detrimental to the planet, and what we can do as individuals to push change in the world. It takes the overall idea of climate change from the big picture (the greenhouse effect and global warming), down to the more individualistic image of climate change (how we perceive climate change through the media and through our own personalized opinions).

Along with these effects comes an inexorable variety of new social problems. For instance, global warming is creating a bigger gap between the life of the rich and the life of the poor. As the rich can afford to adjust to climate the change, the poor will struggle just to maintain a lower quality of life than they have even now. Additionally, climate change is going to be a financial burden on both the government and personal level. Damage to infrastructure, necessary advancements in medicine, and innovational new technology obligatory to keep people safe is all going to add up to a monumental bill. Lastly, climate change is a social problem because it exposes underdeveloped countries to vulnerability while they are not responsible for the variation. With a problem as global as climate change, it is important that all nations work together to adapt, otherwise there will be even more consequences caused by global warming than just physical ones. Although it is almost too late to stop the imminent effects of climate change, we can start to work on the social aspects that will devastate the world just as

Climate change limits the opportunities that future generations have, especially the most poorest and most vulnerable. It is our duty to change how people treat/use the earth, educate, and get involved in our communities ​that can have a huge impact on improving the lives of the vulnerable populations affected by climate change.

Climate is inherently variable. Climate changes from place to place and it varies with time. The world now faces one of the complex and important issue it has ever had to deal with: climate change. Climate change today is one of the biggest concerns of human beings on the planet and the effects of climate change are undeniable and it may cause environmental, social, and economic threats to the planet. We already know and easily can highlight several signs of climate change. They are: rising global sea level, widespread melting of snow and ice, rapidly changing ocean and global temperatures, and other signs. So, what are the causes of climate change? Is it natural or do human beings cause it? Well, in both cases we would be right. The climate change can be affected by natural factors, such as solar output, volcanic eruptions, and the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. Also, climate change can be affected by human activities such as, deforestation, burning fossil fuels, causing ozone hole, and building mass destructive weapons and using them on earth that causes a huge radioactivity on earth. Currently, the threat of global climate change does not threaten some nations to the extent of others. Compare the United States with the rest of African countries. We live in prosperity and in much easier time than the rest African countries. Most African countries cannot grow anything on their lands because of climate change. At the end, climate change might affect everyone on
