Tell You About Climate Change

Global warming is hot topic nowadays. Alarmists and scientists fight to make their statements known, but while the alarmists avoid the scientist, non-governmental organizations pass themselves as scientist. They not only give out exaggerated data, they also have the nerve to accuse humans of being the cause of global warming. Also, we cannot be certain that we are being told the truth without knowing exactly what is really going on behind the scenes. We blindly trust those in authority because we think that they have our greater good in mind and that whatever they say must be the truth.

We have all heard statistics over how unmitigated global warming can lead to rising sea levels, increased temperatures, lower rates of precipitation. The Congressional Budget Office recently found that climate change, if unmitigated, would create costly damage not only to the United States’s economy, but also to the world as a whole (source). Despite a scientific and general consensus that climate change is real and a problem, actual committed action against climate change has been disappointingly slow, until recently. We also know the cause of climate change. The United States EPA finds that “Carbon dioxide accounts for most of the nation’s emissions and most of the increase since 1990” (EPA). What we don’t know is a solution.

Scientific American, in “Carbon dioxide: From nuisance to resource?” contends that in order to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide released in the atmosphere scientists should figure out a way to recycle it. Scientific American continues this discussion by stating that a prize should be offered in 2020 to award a science team that comes up with the best way to capture the carbon dioxide and turn in into the building blocks to create something else. This author proposes this plan in order to ensure that the effects of global warming can be reduced, and that carbon dioxide will not continue to hurt the Earth. These educators urge scientists to discover a way to stop the effects of carbon dioxide on the Earth.

The earth as we know it is steadily changing. Weather its evolution, technology, weather or our environment, nothings is what it used to be. Climate is a major factor that is changing. This has been going on for quite some time yet, not taken seriously. Our planet has been much warmer in the past 2 centuries then ever before and scientist are working frantically to reduce this trend,

The world continues to spin and spin, and we’ve always heard about the condition of the climate. We hear about the changing levels of CO2 in our atmosphere and the Earth’s population contribution to the rise of it. No one usually stops to think about how the food production systems for the food we eat is also a contributing factor to the rise of CO2. “I turn my life upside-down, start biking to work, plant a big garden, turn down the thermostat so low I need the Jimmy Carter signature cardigan, forsake the clothes dryer for a laundry line across the yard, trade in the station wagon for a hybrid, get off the beef, go completely local” (Pollan, p. 765) are just a few ways Michael Pollan suggests to help the climate change. He says “plant a big garden, get off the beef, go completely local” because most of the food production companies play a major part in the CO2 increase in our air. In The Climate Crisis at the End of Our Fork, Anne Lappe says “Start thinking about another sector of the economy that is increasingly exacerbating the climate crisis. The global food system — including deforestation to make way for crops for cattle and cars — is responsible for an estimated one-third of total greenhouse gas emissions.” We’re unsettling the atmosphere and causing worldwide change just from the food we eat, or at least in how it’s produced. These companies clear land to build factories, taking away the trees that turn the CO2 into the oxygen we need. Pollan mentions that the

We all see the weather change from day to day and it is just a normal occurrence. Seasons change from warm to cold and we all just go about our business. But what most people don’t see change is the climate. Climate changes over a long period of time and it has shown a warming trend in the past few decades. Many people attribute this warming trend to the alarming rate that humans are burning fossil fuels and pumping Co2 into the atmosphere, however some people think that climate change is merely a myth or that global temperatures have always risen and fallen during Earth’s lifetime.

Everyday society evolves, new technologies and ideas are born, although life seems perfect there are many reasons to be scared. Ever since the industrial revolution started the production of carbon dioxide has gone up in tremendous quantities. Because of this increase in greenhouse gases the earth has experienced drastic changes. These changes are the reason for why humanity should be scared, humans have control of many things but weather and natural disasters are not something we can control. On the other hand, society has taken steps to diminish the production of carbon dioxide, although this process may take time to make a significant impact it provides humanity with a reason to feel like our situation will improve. It is easy to feel good about these current efforts towards resolving climate change. However, to make a serious impact on the problem, we need to diminish our carbon dioxide footprint significantly, and

The debate surrounding global climate change affects millions of people. In fact, the rate at which our climate temperatures are changing due to greenhouse gas emissions is alarming. Carbon dioxide is the number one greenhouse gas emission that human beings so efficiently and effectively emit into the atmosphere. It 's all around us, all the time. Scouring our air, and our lungs. According to the data in a study done by the E.P.A. in 2013, Carbon Dioxide accounted for approximately 82 percent of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions from human activities. Warmer temperatures, depleting glacial ice sheets and increased ocean acidity are just a few of the growing concerns seen around the globe. But, nothing concerns scientists and engineers more

One of the most compelling and difficult environmental problems society is facing today is climate change. People do not realize how much the environment has changed for the worse in the last ten years, until they are told that the last two decades of the 20th century have been the hottest in the last 400 years, according to climate studies (Conserve Energy Future). Today the carbon dioxide levels have reached 396.81 parts per million (ppm). “Carbon dioxide (CO2) has also increased over the last 100 years-- from about 300 ppm to 370 ppm. Interestingly, the majority of these additions have occurred in the last 50 years, when temperature increases have been slowest” (geocraft). There are no known solutions yet to reverse these effects in the

There is an issue on this planet that will define this generation. The issue is climate change. Global warming. A world on the collapse as our oceans are acidified, our air polluted, our forests disappearing, and human rights issues getting worse. It seems that people are not aware of how big climate change actually is. It’s not something that only takes place on the ice caps or in the forests on the far corners of the world. This is an issue that happens here, and now. It’s real. It’s happening.

The environmental science principle behind the article deals with climate change and how it works. Climate change described by our textbook states, “The greenhouse effect describes the heating of the earth’s atmosphere. The “greenhouse effect” keeps average temperatures above freezing and supports life, but too much heating can be harmful in greenhouse or in our atmosphere. Over the past 200 years, we have been emitting heat-absorbing gases (CO2, CH4, N2O, CFCs) at a dramatic increase. As a consequence, more heat is retained in the atmosphere (Textbook Citation). As these greenhouse emissions are being released into the atmosphere, it is causing the Earth’s average temperature to increase which if something is not done immediately, it will cause a domino effect of disastrous outcomes.

Take a deep breath and imagine it is Sunday morning. The birds are chirping, the air is crisp with freshness, and the sun is radiating at a perfect temperature of 62 degrees. The coast is a 6-minute drive away, and this is the perfect day to take a short journey to the rocky shore and splash in the water. However, there is one problem, an action such as driving to the beach front will almost certainly contribute to the destructive effects of climate change. Due to this claim, is it then morally obligatory to not go on this Sunday morning drive in an effort to prevent greenhouse gas emissions?

Defining climate change is crucial in the process of building agreements among scientists, policy makers and the public. The UNFCCC defines climate change as a significant change in global climate patterns caused by the alteration of earth’s atmosphere due to high carbon emissions. Climate change is a timely, controversial and significant topic. Global temperature has been increasing since the start of the Industrial Revolution and climate specialists have put forth an array of compelling evidence to prove the actuality of climate change. Climate change is already a threat to our planet’s population and economy; it is an issue that requires effective and long-lasting action. Our government has a responsibility to reduce carbon emissions through large-scale technological investments as we transition to a low-carbon economy. Carbon capture storage has proven to be an effective method of improving air quality during this transition while minimizing economic impacts.

We've been told repeatedly throughout the years that our earth's climate continues to change. However, it is rare that during these conversations the possibility of there being an unceasing increase in the temperatures in our oceans due to climate change brought up specifically. There being a potential rise in temperature and the ramifications that such a thing would bring are what this particular article is written about. Even though the study itself took years to conduct, its' initial hypothesis of the various scientists involved was somewhat of a simple one, it was that "[c]limate change will dramatically alter life in the oceans" (Zimmer, 2017). This seems like a pretty safe assumption

One potential new way of helping fight global warming is by trapping carbon dioxide. "Carbon capture and storage will be a vital new technology in reducing carbon emissions around the world." (Knowles, 2008, para. 3) They say that ‘carbon capture’ covers a range of chemical biological and geological technologies designed to trap carbon dioxide from large, concentrated sources such as power stations, in order to reduce the carbon emissions that cause global warming. In the future, if efforts to reduce carbon dioxide do not move fast enough to avoid the risk of dangerous climate change, they say it may be necessary to remove CO2 from mobile sources and even the air itself (Knowles, 2008).
