The Causes Of Climate Change

Some people believe global warming is a natural process, and some think it is false; and most of them are people that have a business of collecting and destroying resources for the money. On the other side, there are people who are fighting for our planet.

First, an overwhelming scientific consensus agrees that human activity is primarily responsible for Global Climate Change. A study in 2010 showed that 97-98% of researchers agree that human activity is the primary cause for climate change around the world. This study also found that the expertise of researchers unconvinced was “substantially below” the researchers that were. The 2013 Cook review showed that out of the 11.944 studies, less than 1% completely rejected the possibility of humans causing this. A different review of 13, 950 studies of climate change found only 24 that rejected humans causing climate change. Let’s just go with majority rules. A different study held by Bray and Von Storch, two German scientists, showed that 83.5% of scientists studying climate believe that humans are causing the recent amounts of climate change. Also, a study in 2011 showed that 84% of scientists studying earth, space, the atmosphere, oceans and hydrology believe that human caused climate change is

Climate change is a problem that we have been and are currently experiencing. It has caused much damage to people and the environment, by temperatures rising and natural disasters. It is a problem that world leaders need to take more seriously, and try to get more people involved to help better the environment. Who knows what it can cause in the future. Climate change is a serious threat for everyone living on earth.

To understand climate change, one must understand what a climate is. A climate can be defined as “the usual weather of a [particular] place…[to] include patterns of temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind, and seasons” (State of Washington, n.d.), just to name a few. Climate differs from weather as a climate is comprised of the usual conditions of a given place (i.e. is it consistently humid, dry, wet, cool, etc.), while weather is the conditions present at a given place at any one time (i.e. it is raining, snowing, sunny, etc.). Climates are unique to individual places and generally stay the same over time, while weather can change by the day.

Today, climate change is affecting our lives and the world around us. However, many people would rather believe that nothing is wrong and that humans are not at fault for helping make the world what it is today. But there are still the few who do believe humans are at fault, and would like to do anything they can to help. The truth is, it is not too late to fix what we have done.

The issue of climate change is a recurring topic in the news, there have been scientist trying to gain support from politicians and the general public to combat this issue for years. There are several reasons why there is a lack of support and policy to address the problem relating to climate change. The issue of climate change is so divisive because people are uneducated about the topic. While there are numerous sources of information that is available to the general public, people are still ill-informed. To add, the general public and politicians may disregard conversations of climate change because they may think there are other issues that are more important. To make the public understand and to gain support for control climate change,

Climate change affects more than the average person thinks it does. It affects our countries, cities, communities, the environment as a whole. It is constantly affecting our living organisms from humans to plants to animals. Since we cut down trees and burn fossil fuels we are

However, there are those who disagree and would argue that mankind's lifestyles should not be altered to prevent further damage to earth's environment. In the article “Climate Change Science, Not Hype,” those who oppose state, “The very fact that we take mainstream climate science seriously will paint us a partisan on hacks in the eyes of those who insist the whole thing is a scam and that includes some scientist with doctorates of their own” (Lemonick). Some scientists think global warming is not true, and that it is just another excuse to scare people. According to the article, “The False Alert of Global Warming” by Tom Bethell states, “Whether man-made carbon-dioxide emissions have caused measurable temperature increases over the last 30 years is

Global warming is the heating of the earth at an unnatural pace due to humans. The world regularly undergoes eras of warming and cooling, the current event is due to humans and is happening more rapidly than ever before. Bill Freedman (2014) stated that, "...increases in global temperatures are due to human activity (i.e., not due to solar variations, volcanic activity, cyclic warming or cooling trends, etc.) …" This means that the warming of the earth is only global warming when it is caused by humans. Currently, according to past trends on Earth, the planet is supposed to be undergoing a cooling, but because of global warming the earth is on a heating trend. Global warming is caused by the Industrial Revolution, increased greenhouse gases, and deforestation and effects the world by raising temperatures, melting polar ice caps, rising sea levels, and the extinction of species and the harm of humans.

Climate change is undeniably one of the biggest problems which the world at large is currently having to deal with. There are many factors that are causing climate change but more importantly, there are numerous ways to combat it.

Climate change in today’s world has become of great concern due to its effects in the environment. Globally, climate change has greatly 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 main contributors of climate change leading to stress and ecosystem strain, to continue providing for its services. In this report I discuss summary of global climate change and regional focus on causes of climate change in Kenya, its effects in ecosystem especially on the natural ecosystems, current measures to curb the effects and the perception of the future ecosystem of the country.

Climate change is a change in the atmospheric layers of Earth that is caused by the increase of carbon dioxide levels concentrated in the atmosphere.This change is impacting Earth and will continue to do so if nothing is going to be done to reduce its effects. Climate change is the main cause of many natural disasters that happened in the past and are still happening today such as Hurricane Irma which is considered to be the strongest hurricane to ever hit the United States after Hurricane Katrina as mentioned in the article “Florida Smashed by Strongest Hurricane Since Katrina” by Eric Holthaus and Daniel Mcking. The question derives from these events, are human activities causing climate change? Many scientists and studies do believe so. I agree that climate change is caused by human activities, a point that needs emphasizing since so many people still believe that humans do not contribute to climate change.

Climate change is one of the most harmful things to humanity because it affects everyone who lives on Earth. Though there are social problems, such as war or racism, that may affect certain groups of people, even those with no human contact are affected by climate change in some way.

Climate change is an ever growing danger to us and the planet and the effects of it will be catastrophic. Climate change will make the global temperatures rise which will melt the polar ice caps putting many species at risk for extinction, it will also cause much stronger hurricanes and tornados and other weather related problems, and the scary part is; there currently is no real marketable solution to climate change that would not lower our living standards to what we had before the industrial revolution.

Numerous restudies have linked global warming and climate change to human activities. They contribute to this vice by producing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere during their day to day lives. Gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapor trap heat in the air causing a rise in temperatures referred to as the greenhouse effect. Humans therefore, contribute to this effect by burning fossil fuels that have high concentrations of carbon dioxide. These fuels are oil, coal and natural gas. It is estimated that the current amount of CO2 in our atmosphere ids the highest in three past 650,000 years (NOAA National Weather Service, 2007). According to the fourth assessment reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the most of the observed rise in global temperatures is attributed to the significant increase in human development resulting in high greenhouse gases concentrations. From this study it is actually evident that yes humans also contribute to the global climatic change that is currently being experienced. For instance the oil that run in vehicles usually releases smoke to the air. The smoke largely contains burned carbon thereby adding to the gases. Most factories also use coal for burning. Coal contains large amounts of CO2 thus pollutes the atmosphere. Humans are also guilty of felling trees. This is very dangerous to our environment. Trees usually help reduce the amount of CO2 in the air as it uses it during the process of photosynthesis and releases oxygen to the atmosphere which we breathe in. Therefore, humans are largely to blame for the change in global climate that is currently being experienced.
