The Causes Of Climate Change

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.

“Climatism is the belief that man-made greenhouse gases are destroying earth’s climate” said Steve Goreham, the executive director of the Climate Science Coalition of America and author of the book “The Mad, Mad, Mad World of Climatism: Mankind and Climate Change Mania”. Historically, earth climate has become a major problem after the Industrial Revolution during the 18th and 19th century and it significantly becomes a big concern in the present days. This essay will illustrate the possible root of climate change which is caused by mankind as well as nature.

The first part of the research provides background information on what climate change is, what are its most important constituent elements, and what are its implications. Climate change represents in essence a global challenge that can only be tackled at the global level. This is why it is important to consider the views and perspectives of global organizations such as the United Nations, through the United Nations Environment Program among other organisms under the coordination of the United Nations. Climate change has been at the center of vivid debates in recent decades particularly because it affects all strata of human life, from food supplies to education, health, and sustainable development. Its complex impact on human life makes climate change an all the more important aspect to be taken into account by policy makers, world leaders, and decision takers around the world.

Global warming is the gradual rise of the earth’s surface temperature, caused by many natural and manmade processes that continue to affect our environment. The release of carbon dioxide and methane gases are the two main contributors for the changes in the global climate patterns. Climate change causes the sea level rise, shrinking ice sheets, declining arctic sea ice, glacial retreat, extreme weather events, ocean acidification, decreased snow cover. Because of these, the food chain is affected and the population of the species are decreasing. So, global warming is one of the most serious issues that the world is facing today.

Global climate change has been a natural and frequent phenomenon since the beginning of life on Earth. However, the central debate concerning climate change is whether or not it is driven by human interaction with the environment’s resources. Carl Sagan said, “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence” (Baum, Haqq-Misra, & Karmosky, 2012). Claiming humans are causing global climate change as a result of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is definitely extraordinary, but modern research by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and independent research facilities have provided substantial evidence.

The world as we know it today has changed from the state that it was in fifty years ago, is currently changing, and will continue to do so. Human kind is responsible for climate change, and without human intervention, the climate changes yet to come will deeply impact our environment, the lives of the creatures that depend upon the planet Earth for survival, our lives, the lives of children that will occupy the planet. We have a profound duty to the planet, we need to take action now before the time comes that we cannot turn back.

Global warming refers to the rising temperature trend of the earth which has seen more noticeable temperature rises due to the increase in fossil fuels and the industrial revolution which started in the late 1970s.

Since the industrial revolution human activities have enhanced the greenhouse effect causing global temperatures to rise significantly.

Climate change can be defined as the study of weather patterns over an extended period in any environment and at any time of year. Global warming relates to climate change because it is the ongoing increase of Earth’s normal temperature. The cause for climate change is due to the rise in concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere like carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, and water vapor. Issues that arise because of climate change are sea levels rising, growth in ocean heat content, and buildup of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere due to human activities. Humans contribute the most to climate change by engaging in driving, burning fossil fuels, and natural gas distribution. Climate change is conceivably evolving due to human activities and minimally biological factors but, climate change is still a scientific phenomenon that requires further investigation.

Climate change is a topic scientists have debated on for many years. Climate change is occuring, shown in evidence from the changes on Earth. Science and statistics show that human activity is the main cause of drastic climate change, as human activity is greatly increasing the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Global Warming is an important topic and it’s something everyone needs to look into. It can cause a lot of problems and damage. A decade ago, the idea of global warming probably wasn’t much of a concern. In this essay, the things that will be addressed are why global warming is important- the evidence, what causes it and the effects of it, the impact how we can prevent it, and other information on it.

Global warming has been a topic all around the world since 1904. This debate has scientists wondering who is the cause of climate change . I think that humans are the cause of climate change. Rising level of human-produced gases released into atmosphere create a greenhouse gases affect trap heat and cause global warming. Dramatic change in precipitation, heavier storms and less snow both are signs global climate change. Temperature on earth has rapidly increased farther than can be explained than by natural climate change. The type of CO2 increasing in earth's atmosphere can be connected to human activity?

The Earth's temperature is going on increasing day after day and term used for this is known as Global warming. As Hostrand observes global warming has a dangerous impact on the earth and on all species including human and animals. Global warming has several reasons, but human activities and natural causes are important. (Hofstrand, D. 2013)

Global warming is one of the major problems facing the Earth. Our year is divided up into four seasons: summer, fall, winter, spring. Unless you live at the equator, you've likely noticed that each season has become slightly warmer and often drive than usual. Humans have been on Earth for a little over two hundred thousand years and the human population has been increased to over seven billion. According to the article “Global warming”, “Global warming is the unusually rapid increase in Earth’s average surface temperature over the past century primarily due to the greenhouse gases released as people burn fossil fuels,” (1) The article by Kirschner ststaes, “ Carbon Dioxide is odorless, colorless and tasteless gas.” (Kirschner 168) The causes of global warming are greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the heat that gets trapped in. Both human and non-human factors have contributed to global warming, but only the human factors are within our control.

Global warming is a phrase that has been used in recent history that describes Earth’s surface temperature being warmed. Throughout history, there has been three global warming’s. They occurred in 1850; from about 1860-1880, 1915-1945, and 1975-1978 (see graph). The current warming was thought to have been generated by the discharge by man of carbon dioxide. All three of these periods of warming were divided into a period of universal cooling. The warming/cooling cycles, and their conjoined change in rain patterns are called climate change. Climate change has been happening for the past 11,000 years since the last ice age. Research has recently shown that this abrupt curve is probably a product of what is known as the “heat island effect” rather than be just called global warming. Overall, at its simplest, “climate change”- is simply known as global warming and “climate disruption.” Reason it is called a climatic disruption is because a phenomenon occurs that cause’s weather arrangement and temperatures too change to quickly and unknowingly on a universal scale. Global Warming is an occurrence of increasing average air temperatures close to the Earth’s exterior for over the past two centuries. Since the 20th century, weather scientists have assembled studies of different weather occurrences such as; temperatures, rain, and different kinds of storms. Also studies on the Earth’s ocean currents and the atmosphere’s overall chemical arrangement. This
