Climate change PART ONE – Describe the nature of the geographic issue Describe the issue: what it is, where it is happening, why it is happening, who it involves, how it effects people and the environment. You must include a map showing the location of the issue (you may find one on the internet or construct it yourself). You may include any other visuals such as photos, diagrams. Nowadays human activities like driving cars, burning coal and cutting down forests and farming produce greenhouse gases…

place, country, city, region has its own climate. Climate plays one of the important roles in people’s life. Climate is defined as the average weather, which means variety of weather conditions as rain, snow, hail, sun, and wind over period of time about 30 years that can be measured in any particular place.( IPCC Third Assessment Report - Climate Change 2001; editor:A.P.Baede) Climate change is a variation of average weather. There are 2 causes of climate change. The first is human activity which includes…

With the increasingly growing concern of climate change and its impact on the environment, it is reasonable to ask how the environment will affect Earth 's living organisms, from the small to the big (Freitas et al., 2015). Fish are poikilothermic organisms, meaning their body temperature is susceptible to and easily influenced by external environmental changes. The metabolic rate, defined as the total chemical activity in an organism, also changes with body temperature (Pfluegl 2014). These factors…

other natural disasters. For example, the lack of protection to our species and natural resources has led to many conflicts around the world. The lack of conservation of natural resources and need for habitat protection has had a major impact on the environment also. The idea of going green is a great way to help our planet and to help our future generations. As stated in the opening quote our parents and their parents passed down this beautiful world for us, so we need to take care of it because…

Introduction: Climate change is an issue that is currently threatening the entire world, it is occurring as a result of human activity intensifying the greenhouse effect and concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, resulting in negative changes to the global climate (Lohmann, 2002). Tourism is particularly vulnerable to the direct and indirect impacts of climate change as the climate influences the appeal, attractiveness and suitability of a destination (Rutty & Scott, 2014). Moore (2010)…

Biodiversity is one of many areas impacted by climate change. Species and ecosystem modeling has shown that there are potential changes that can occur certain key biodiversity sectors (McMahon et al., 2011). Researchers have created analysis on how changes in climate and levels of CO2 can impact different structures of vegetation and their function, including productivity in growth (Scheiter & Higgins, 2008), ecosystem-based adaptation approaches and conservation plans (Cowling & Egoh, 2007). There…

terms of the environment. There are numerous factors that contribute to the deterioration of the earth and one significant factor is due to the issues of climate change. Majority of environmental as well as social scientist that cares about the world defines climate change as the primary source of global risk since it could have severe impacts on the future generations. In addition, the general meaning of the term ‘climate change’ is defined as the change in regional or global climate patterns and…

IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON HEALTH SECTOR: A MATTER OF CONCERN Question: How health sector is affected by climate change, ABSTRACT: In future health care practitioners is going to face two major obstacles or challenges that will affect the health care system. Firstly, change in global climate will affect the health of the people, resulting in numerous diseases because of changing pattern of weather. The human activities that is generating the change in climate by increasing the greenhouse gases…

The Impact of Climate Change on Community Health Introduction Climate change is very real, and it must be addressed in order to prevent a negative impact on community health. Climate change is any significant difference in the climate that lasts for a lengthy period of time, such as differences in temperature, precipitation, and wind patterns. These differences or changes in the climate can be human-caused changes or natural changes. Natural changes include changes in the Earth’s orbit, changes in…
