The climatic changes have been an issue of controversies around scientists, politicians, and people in general. Indeed, there are many aspects in which climatic changes and global warming step in, being sources of controversies and disagreements. In this opportunity, the discussion about climatic changes will be divided into two different aspects, the first one involves how scientists think about the main cause of climatic changes while analyzing the question “Are humans responsible for climatic changes? While the second aspect will place the climatic changes into a politician aspect, focusing in one of the 2015 presidential debates where disagreements among candidates took place. Have you noticed that summers are getting hotter each year? Have you noticed that in some states of the country it is getting colder in winter, but in other states occurs the opposite? Have you heard that the poles are decreasing their size more and more? Changes like these and many others are occurring more intensely each year. If we compare the UV levels, sea volume, and some other aspects of the earth, we can see great differences between past decades and the present, undoubtedly climatic changes are occurring and are becoming even more noticeable. As effects of climatic changes along with global warming are increasing, people are trying desperately to find somebody or something to blame for this situation. For this reason, a continuous theory has been increasing its population among people
The interview with Chere Smith provided me with a great deal of experiential knowledge that are essential for my professional and personal life. Chere inspired me as a manager as well as a leader. The first thing I learned from this interview is that it is important to shared the mission, vision and the values of the organization you work for in order to have a meaningful career. Moreover, I learned the significant impact that managerial planning, coordination, decision making, time management, effective communication, participative leadership and motivation have on the management role. In addition, I also realizes that it is crucial to maintain work-life balance and flexibility as one move up the management ladder. The overlap between Chere experiential knowledge and propositional knowledge from Supervisor Management class give me the whole picture of what it takes to be a healthcare manager. In conclusion, this interview showed me the importance of the administrative and management role every healthcare manager plays in delivering quality healthcare.
Historians from many backgrounds and beliefs agree that the Streets of Rome (around what time in history) were filled with noise, danger and information. There is a common misconception that Roman women were often sheltered from the physical and psychological dangers of the streets by being rushed from one place to another. However, women were often drawn from their homes for religious devotion, work, sociability, and communication. Men did primarily dominate the public life, but women took part in it as well. Author Elizabeth Cohen details Roman women’s involvement in her article “To Pray, To Work, To Hear, To Speak: Women in Roman Streets c. 1600”.
The idea of climate change, for many, is an opinionated subject with much discussion of whether it is a real issue or just a natural phenomenon. However in recent years it is clear to see that trends in the Earth’s climate and surface temperature has spiked to levels never seen before. Despite all the evidence of the high levels of greenhouses gases and the rise in temperature, many still believe that
In recent years, global climate change due to global warming has been largely researched. The paper, “Global Climate Change Triggered by Global Warming,” offers compelling evidence from various scientific papers that the process of Earth’s climate undergoing significant change has already begun and requires our attention due to the probability that human-generated greenhouse gases are the primary cause. Major focal points are shifting towards determining the causes to mitigate the effects rather than establishing the existence as sufficient amount of evidence has proven that global warming is indisputable. During the final decade of the 20th century, climatologists have concluded that the past millennium to be the warmest, especially in the year of 2005. Solutions towards the cause would require assistance from the population as a whole.
This is the first epigraphic attestation of the cult of Aphrodite Ourania in the region. The appearance of the goddess in connection with two Egyptian deities, Osiris and Nephthys suggests that Isis may have been identified with Aphrodite in the dedication. Several archaeological and epigraphic examples exist demonstrating the association or identification of Isis with Aphrodite. However, this is the first epigraphic record relating Isis with Aphrodite Ourania. Aphrodite Ourania is particularly regarded as the goddess of marriage and fertility. It is likely that the similarity between the aspects of Aphrodite Ourania and the marital and procreative functions of the cult of Isis which are mentioned in the Isis-aretologies may have stimulated
Throughout the years climate change has been a controversial issue affecting individuals worldwide; climate change has been debated by scientists including the rest of the world. Many factors can affect climate change such as biological factors and human actions. The intricate details are what go unnoticed and unmanaged, people may be greatly against this claim. However, it is underlying factors, like landfills and driving cars, that help maintain the increasing temperature of the earth thus, climate change has become a controversial topic. There have been concerns that climate change does not exist but there is reliable proof that it does even if many scientists do not agree on the existence of climate change.
In the early 20th century people knew that they could cause changes to their local climates by, for example, leveling large portions of forests and over ploughing fields; but very few thought human action could affect the global climate. It wasn’t until 1958 that humans began to record measurements of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which revealed an increasing amount. This new data scientists were recording supported the idea of global climate change as real and that increased green house gases in the atmosphere would in fact cause the world’s climate to become warmer. In the 1980’s the world’s global temperature started to climb at a faster pace than seen before which helped the issue gain attention among the public, the scientific community,
Climate change is known as one of the greatest threats to the planet. It is not only a threat to the planet environmentally, but it is a threat socially and economically. As we all could feel, see, and know, the weather patterns globally and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have been increasing over an extended period of time. Although it may seem like it’s not a dramatic change since it is data from over a large amount of time, it is considering the fact that the large amount of time is not that large as it should be. Climate change is nothing new to us. It’s happened many years ago in the past because a variety of reasons but as the years go on, the rate on charts are just getting higher. As much as I would like to blame this predicament on nature, humans has a fault as well. We release thousands of greenhouse gases into the air through many procedures, but there are things that we cannot entirely control. However, whoever’s fault it is to blame I believe that if we work together and think we will more likely be able to find effective solutions for this problem.
There are many topics of discussion that have polarized opinions, yet none are as hotly refuted as climate change. Although the discourse included is mostly about the causation behind our Earth’s recent rise in temperature, some people go as far as debating its very existence itself. The implications of climate change are severe and could potentially lead to a catastrophic event we can’t accommodate for. Scientists have confirmed the existence of climate change, yet they have not proven we are the sole cause, or that we are even the most contributing fact. There are many other facets of climate change effects, and our current path is being scrutinized to see if we have a lasting effect.
In the last 100 years, Earth’s average temperature has risen by 1.4°F. The rising global temperatures have caused changes in weather and climate. Global warming refers to the ongoing rise in the average temperature near Earth’s surface. This is causing a climate change, which refers to any significant change (major change in temperature, precipitation, or wind patterns) in the measures of climate lasting for an extended period of time (several decades or longer). Due to this, it is projected that the temperature will rise from 2 to 11.5°F in the next hundred years (US EPA, 2014). The “drivers,” which are the principal causes making this occur, are very controversial. It is debated whether a change in temperature is due to the work of
Global warming is the ever growing tension and a controversial issue that is debated widely for the past few years. There are many critics and disbelievers still present in the politics and science field , who do not think that this issue is increasing at such a large scale. It may be due to the lack of evidences in this field, that resulted into this thought that it is the natural process that is evolving on this planet in cycles. In this present era the existence of global warming is not remained any controversial issue, but the causes and impact of global warming are still in the hot debates.
In recent years, the controversial subject of global warming has been more predominantly brought to our attention. Is the threat of global warming real? Is it man-made or is this just a natural cycle of earth? Does it really affect earth’s inhabitants? Should action be taken against it? If so, what kind and to what extent? It cannot be only a coincidence that the alarmingly rapid climate change coincides perfectly with the increased amount of pollutants that humans release into the environment. The once stable climate has in recent years begun to skyrocket, thus altering the delicate structure of earthly life. This proves to be hazardous to the future of the planet; some people worry that many of the resources the environment provides that
The planet has been experiencing considerable climate change for the last several decades. There have been many explanations toward the main causes of the increased warming of the planet. On one hand are the environmentalists who believe that the major cause of this increased warming of the planet is the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere induced by human activities. On the other hand, the scientists believe that there are natural causes of global climate change. While the supporters of the man-made theory of global climate change reason that the major greenhouse gas causing global warming is carbon dioxide, the advocates of natural causes
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
Climate change could be described as any process that causes adjustment to climate system be it a volcanic eruption to a change in the solar activity. Today, however, the phrase is most often used as climate change caused by humans. Climate change is also used commonly with another phrase – "global warming" – reflecting scientific observations of strong warming trends over the past century or so. Indicators like rising sea levels, retreating snow cover and glaciers, longer growing seasons and shifting wildlife has alarmed scientific community unanimously agreeing that the earth has warmed in the last century. Experts however are of the opinion that climate change is a more accurate phrase than global warming as the latter is just one component affecting the larger climate systems of the earth.
