The Reality Of Climate Change

All three-major global surface temperature reconstructions show that Earth has warmed since 1880. Most of the warming occurred in the past 35 years, with 15 of the 16 warmest years on record occurring since 2001.

Recent studies have said that the time between a child been born this year to the age of them being 80 the worlds temperature will have risen by 6 and a half degrees in temperature. (1)

Climate change is a serious issue, or is it? Since the late 1990’s the temperature rose dramatically, but surprisingly since 1998 the average temperature only raised a little. (why climate change is taking a break) This is because of increase of Greenhouse gasses, and carbon.These are natural gasses, in many ways science proves Global Warming is a natural problem that overtime will figure itself out. The famous El Nino’s are a good example of this, in 1998 there was a very strong El Nino, and the temperature went back down. I and many scientist think Global Warming is natural and here's why.

It is the hottest year ever. I thought it would be a lot more cooler the one hundred degrees outside. This was very dangerous for kids and elderly that is outside. So we call this the heatwave of 1995 in Chicago ILL. This caused many many problems with the people and the animals this was the worst Chicago has ever seen.

In the past 130 years, the average temperature increased by 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit, with more than half of its increased in the past 35 years.( Science for a healthy planet and safe world). In 2001 to 2010 it was the warmest decade since 1880. However this was the year when enough temperature records became able to calculate a global average. However it shows that average global temperature are likely to increase by 3.1 to 7.2 degrees Fahrenheit by end of the century depending on how much carbon is released.( Climate hot map). In the past 40 years it has been the warmer than average. The hottest year recorded. The other 12 hottest years recorded have all occurred since1998. ( Science for a healthy planet and safe world).

The most prominent characteristic that I observed from this climate graph is the drastic temperature change that occurs throughout the year. From February, the temperature begins to increase, and it continues to do so at a constant, steady rate until it reaches its peak of 17 to 18°C somewhere around July and August. From there, a steady pattern of temperature decrease can be observed, until it hits its lowest point at which the year started from: -8 to -7°C. The total overall temperature change, looking from these approximations, seems to be 25°C. The actual temperature range, calculated using the more accurately shown chart

warming has slowly crept into our line of vision and our daily life. Global warming is the result

Over the last decade Earth has seen some of the hottest years in history. This is due

The past century earths average temp has been rising faster than any time in the past 10,000 years and much of that change is due to humans

The Western United States and Alaska were slammed with massive heat in 2014. Records were broke in North America and across every inhabited continent. The oceans were warmer except around most of Antarctica. Scientists say that the warming of the ocean is, "...providing the energy that fuel damaging Pacific storms.". Along with record breaking heat temperatures, the 2014 year passed 2010 for the warmest year. The top 10 warmest years have occured since 1997. The scientists say this is, "a consequence of human activity and possess profound long-term risks to civilization and nature" (2014 Breaks Heat Record). Scientists say that the most remarkable thing about the 2014 heat record was that it occured without a strong El Nino. An El Nino is

A. Hook: Some people claim ignorance about this topic, but while people don’t give the required attention, important data show increases in global temperature and media, schools and seminars are discussing this.

I. (Attention Getter) 2016 was a record setting year for climate change. The first six months were the warmest that have

America recorded highest temperature in existing history in the year 2012. This is 10F above the previous statistics in 1998 (Light).

The issue is simple and rather obvious; climate change is real and a problem. With a changing climate comes rising sea levels, hotter days, and stronger and wilder storms, and long painful droughts. What most people can’t seem to agree on is whether or not human activity is playing some role in it. From media outlets to internet forums, the debate is being fought on all fronts. Most of these arguments, however, are just personal opinions and poorly-made observations from the comfort of a gas-guzzling SUV. Honestly, it doesn’t take a genius to look up a legitimate scientific paper and see the data for yourself. Human activity is influencing the global climate in a negative way, with plenty of evidence to prove it and very little disagreement in the scientific community.

“When taking the heating of the entire climate system into account, our planet has warmed at a rate equivalent to 4 Hiroshima atomic bomb detonations per second over the past 15 years” (Cook). Our planet is becoming warmer. When scientists add up all the heat warming the land, oceans, atmosphere, ice melting, earth is accumulating heat equivalent to four Hiroshima bombs worth of heat per second. Global warming is a serious issue faced by our world as there has been a significant increase in temperature over the years. But the article published by Dr. Mark Sircus on “Global Warming -largest science scandal in the history” refutes the theory of global warming. Dr. Sircus states that there is no linkage between carbon dioxide and temperature leading to global warming, the sea level is not rising, arctic sea ice extent is now higher and climate change is due to solar activity. Dr. Sircus also points out that that the recent weather changes are not in line with global warming and “we are in the beginning of a deep freeze” (Global Warming - Largest Science Scandal in US History). NASA and the scientific community states that global warming is not a hoax and there is a rapid increase in Earth’s average surface temperature due to greenhouse gases released as people burn fossils. NASA states that the “key indicators of global warming are based on surface, satellite, and ocean temperature measurements, satellite measurements of energy imbalance and of receding glaciers, sea ice, and
