The Effects Of Climate Change On Human Activities

In modern America few problems prove to be as fundamentally problematic as the theory of human induced global warming. Its repeated coverage from within the media and political arena are influencing people worldwide, putting those who think differently in an outcast shadow. The truth of the matter is, to not believe in human induced global warming has become politically incorrect and unacceptable in the public eye. The theory of human induced global warming can be defined as the rise in temperature through human pollution of greenhouse gases resulting in catastrophic alterations in the earth 's environment. However, human pollution of greenhouse gases is so minor that it is not a contribution to the

In (“The Distorted World of Climate Models”) by Gene Barth that was published in The Intellectual Activist, 1998 the scenarios that are portrayed of environmental devastation due to climate change and global warming are based entirely on nothing more than general circulation model climate change simulations. According to Barth climate change simulations tend to distort the mechanisms that determine global temperatures and therefore produce results that contradict more objective evidence that shows that no global warming is occurring. In a sense, Barth is correct about the simulations they are nothing more than simulations that can have varied results depending on the factors implemented into the simulation. Another major argument that is put into play in order to prove that climate change is false is that it is caused by natural factors not human ones. In (“Global Warming Enjoy It While You Can”) John Carlisle published by the, the global increase of temperature of 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit over the last 150 years are all caused by natural fluctuations in the Earth’s temperature that occur over periods of time, this is evident as in previous eras of the earth temperatures have reached over 59 degrees Fahrenheit compared to today’s global temperature. Carlisle states that

Climate change has been a subject of discussion in the media for many years, supported with the use of arguments against oil polluting the environment and extreme scare tactics of Polar ice caps flooding civilians backyards. The issue has been ignored by the majority of lay people as seeming too complicated, and with all the conflicting information in the media in the past, who can blame them? However, scientifically, climate change and what perpetrates it is fairly simple to understand and society as a whole is beginning to come to a clear consensus on climate change. Thanks in part to more readily available forms of media and information, people have become cognizant of the fact that climate change is a legitimate problem which requires immediate amelioration. While this may seem melodramatic, society is realizing that climate change is an issue which can no longer be denied if the human race wishes to continue.

The human race all around the world wonders if the climate is changing due to human activity or if it is just a natural occurrence. At certain parts of the Earth's surface, the climate can be observed much differently than other locations. As the years go by the average temperature of the Earth increases by little intervals. There are several different reasons why people believe the climate is changing every year. However, the increase of worldwide population and production of heat to the atmosphere is due to the increase of human activities that take place on a daily basis. Human activity is the main cause of the global climate change. The human impact on climate exceeds any known changes due to natural processes. The impact of this human activity is often misunderstood when looking at climate change.

Another point Brian Sussman made was, since the little Ice Age global temperatures have risen only one degree and most of that occurred before 1940. According to data from NASA’s temperature record, the surface temperature on earth has increased since 1880 and leveled off between the 1940s and the 1970s. That would make sense, because the industrial revolution began around the 1880s. Also, in the last decade, our global temperatures have risen to the highest levels ever recorded. This information makes me lean toward the man-made side of the global warming argument.

Climatologist Tim Ball argues this point in his article, The Science Isn’t Settles – The Limitations of Global Climate Models. Dr. Ball looks at the data of global temperatures and concludes that the earth’s atmosphere is actually cooling while in its cooling cycle, which is the complete opposite to the assumption that the atmosphere is heating up. In 1999 a petition was asked the U.S. Government to reject the environment treaty The Kyoto Protocol, which was signed by over 17,000 other scientists sharing the same views. These scientists view that there is no convincing scientific evidence around the idea of global warming and all of these conclusions are not justified. They believe that the human release of CO2 and other greenhouse gasses are not contributing to global warming and the climate change, instead the increase of CO2 is promoting plant and animal growth. Some other scientists argue that global warming is being blown way out of portion and its effects are so small we will not notice its effects. They believe this increasing in extensive publicity is an environmentalist scam for more recognition, power, and

Since 1975, the surface of the earth 's average temperature has risen by 0.9 degrees Fahrenheit; global warming caused by greenhouse effect has become the focus topic of the world. It has long been recognized academically that due to the burning of coal, oil, natural gas and so on the carbon dioxide is the main culprit of global warming. I watched a documentary, which called “The Great Global Warming Swindle.” In the documentary, the scientists pointed out that there is no direct evidence that carbon dioxide is the cause of global warming, global warming is more of propaganda, a kind of political activity. Normally, as an amateur people, should write this article emphasizes their neutrality, but actually, I agree with BBC.

Climate change is a fake. Many people say we have climate change, it’s because we use too much fossil fuels. We produce too much carbon dioxide or greenhouse gases. And then we have global warming. But actually, we feel the climate change or global warming it’s because human existence too short. Earth was formed around four and a half billion years ago. But human just appear only a sudden.

However, it is the argument that is against human activity being the primary cause of global warming that provides a superior explanation to this currently unknown global phenomena we call global warming. Despite the overbearing support against this argument, there is too much factual evidence about the complexity of the atmosphere and all of its elements that outweigh the predictions being made and then amplified significantly. Using supporting facts leads to a superior argument than using mathematic estimations, which consistently fail to meet their expected results. The changes in climate, including temperature change and rising sea levels, have all been happening for thousands of years providing historical evidence to show this change in climate as a natural occurrence. The most critical aspect of the argument is that rising levels of atmospheric CO2 do not necessarily cause global warming, which contradicts the core thesis of human-caused climate change as stated in a publication made on ProCon.org where the director of Greenpeace International Patrick Moore spoke on the relationship between the CO2 emissions from human activity and global temperature. He states that "there is some correlation, but little evidence, to support a direct causal relationship between CO2 and global temperature through the millennia” (ProCon.org). It is important to acknowledge that regardless what the actual

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.

Now many people also say that climate change isn’t real. Here is some proof that they are right. There was a significant cooling trend from 1940 to 1980. That’s forty years! Also, glaciers have been melting for more than 150 years. That’s before we even started burning fossil fuels.

There is undeniable proof of anthropogenic climate change. We are only contributing to the issue, despite having known about the issue of anthropogenic climate change for years. According to the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center, The atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are rising, causing climate change to worsen. According to NASA, the levels of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere were at 400.57 Parts Per Million in August, with the level in

Most of the blame for climate change over the years especially after the 1850’s has been placed on humans. As long as modern humans have roamed the earth, they have been upsetting the natural balance of the earth. People have did this by clearing areas of land, killing animals, polluting water, etc. Before the “modern human”, people like the Native Americans cared for the earth. They respected the land and the people that cared for it. Unfortunately, people don’t care anymore. Until recently, people did not care for the earth. People did not realize the harm they were causing it. Now we know how detrimental things are that we continue to do and used to do.

Climate isn 't weather. Weather is day to day while climate is over periods of time. Climate is always changing and before humans were here to pollute the earth, climate change was caused by natural things. However science data shows that over the past half century is fault of the human population. When we pollut greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere. These gases are carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, methane, water vapor, and nitrous oxide. The most important of all the greenhouse gases is the carbon dioxide. It is long term. While some of the carbon dioxide that is in the atmosphere is natural, most of it is not. Over the past 250 years half of the

Climate change has been a highly discussed issue for the past couple years, especially now that the signs of climate change are becoming more visible. The change in Earth’s climate began in the 19th century when ice ages and other natural changes were first identified. The idea of the “greenhouse effect” was also introduced at this time. In simple terms, the greenhouse effect refers to the increase in earth’s temperature due to the radiation absorbed and re-emitted by greenhouse gas molecules, such as Carbon Dioxide. The re-emission by these gas molecules is what causes the planet to warm up, or otherwise known as global warming. Scientists pointed out this warming effect of carbon dioxide in the late 1960’s, though some still questioned this theory at that time. About 10 years later, the warming effect became clearer and more scientists started to support the greenhouse effect theory. By the 1990s, there was a clear statement made that not only were greenhouse gases responsible for climate change, but the contribution of human emissions of these greenhouse gases was increasing, and global warming was starting to become a severe issue. On NASA’s climate change website, they present a graph showing the carbon dioxide levels (parts per million) dating back 650,000 years. Until about 1950, the levels of this greenhouse gases were quite stable, hitting a low of about 180 ppm. But a huge spike between 1950 and 2014 took place, putting the carbon dioxide levels at 400 ppm in
