Alaska climate change and decreasing in population My name is Zachary Rowe, I am going to talk about the global warming weather effects in Alaska and how it has affected the population of various living animal species. The number of large predators living in the southern Beaufort Sea of Alaska has decreased from 1,500 animals in 2001, to just under 900 in 2010. As the species are decreasing in numbers, they are now listed as vulnerable by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Another problem in 2013, a report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have seen a decline in reindeer inside Alaskan boundaries. These aren't the only species whose populations has

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have observed that approximately one million reindeer were alive in 2000, now in 2013 only 700,000 units remain. Also, scientists have recorded that many ranging deer herds are significantly smaller than they have been in the past several recorded years. In 2012 the International Fund of Wildlife’s according to the national geographic Jeff Flocked said, “There has been roughly a 60 percent decline from historical high levels, and that the decline was caused by suspected climate change”. Researchers in Finland have found that the grazing of a reindeer could help prevent solar heat absorption, which in the result; can lead to climate change temperature swings. Scientists have also found out that in areas where reindeer don't graze there are higher levels of heat radiation. Wooded areas are showing that the levels of shrubs and trees have also absorbed heat. Swedish scientists has found that reindeer can also prevent the climate change caused of a spread of invasive species in the Arctic Tundra. A study from Redlist Industrial Development and Human Activity shows that poaching animals are also major threats to the reindeers
Elijah J. McCoy was born on May 2, 1844, in Colchester, Ontario, Canada. He was an inventor and engineer who were known for his 51 U.S. patents. His patents had most to do with lubrication of steam engines. McCoy returned to the U.S. in 1847 where he became a U.S. citizen. The Real McCoy is an expression used to mean the real thing, and has been associated with Elijah McCoy’s oil drip cup invention. But the most famous legacy McCoy left his country was his name; Elijah McCoy’s can be seen at the National Inventors Hall of
Nick Gordon is fighting against the wrongful death lawsuit filed by Bobbi Kristina’s administrator, Bedelia C. Hargrove. Radar Online, September 8, 2015, reported that Nick’s lawyers, W. Bryant Green III and Jonathan M. Broderick, are filing a motion for the case to be dismissed. Nick’s criminal lawyer Jose Baez called Bedelia’s lawsuit, "slanderous and meritless." According to a source, they have pointed out eight reasons where the lawsuit is wrong. They said that Nick is not a Georgia resident because he is living in Florida. He doesn’t own any property and he never married Bobbi Kristina. They claim that he didn’t do any of the crimes stated in the lawsuit. He didn’t give Bobbi Kristina a “toxic cocktail” and then fill a bathtub with cold

"Climate change is a change in the statistical properties of the climate system that persists for several decades or longer" (Montgomery, 2015). Climate change (or global warming) can be caused by a natural progress such as sun 's radiations and volcanoes, or it can be caused by human 's actions such as land use, deforestation, and pollution. (Hardy, 2003).This phenomenon not only affects the environment, but it also affects human lives. Alaska is the largest state in the United States. It includes lands on both sides of the Arctic Circle. Sixteen national wildlife refuges are home to a great variety of flora and fauna. In the past 60 years. The Alaska 's environment changed drastically; the climate is warming up as twice as much in comparison to all the other states. This essay will discuss firstly the climate change in the Alaskan environment. Then it will highlight the changes in the ocean and costs, the effects that global warming is having on Alaska 's natives and the melting permafrost. It will then finally address who is responsible for this effects and some measures that can be taken.
But, it comes at a cost—a debt he must settle before he’s allowed to take his revenge.
How many declining wildlife habitats will it take until we grapple with global warming? The author of this passage surely agrees with above demand. He argues that the artic deer population declined as quickly as the weather changed. Though the underlying issue of the dying artic deer is directly correlated to global warming has merit, the passage does not deliver concise proof, supporting evidence and seems to assume his audience will agree.

Studies held in Svalbard have shown that the reindeer population has been decreasing it’s body mass. Reindeer born in the 1990’s weighed about 121 pounds, and those born in 2010 weighed about 106 pounds. This issue is a direct result of climate change, which is the expansion of the greenhouse effect, that is being caused by the doings of humans. Climate change indicates warmer winters means more rain. When the rain freezes, it creates a thick layer of ice above their food, which prevents the reindeer from eating, and creating serious competition for other food. The hungry females either aren’t able to give birth or produce babies that are much tinier.
Global warming today is a scientific fact, and have been through controversial and emotional public discussion. Global warming research shows average climate temperatures have been increasing for the last century and an increase in weather temperature fluctuations, affecting the global biosphere environment. Local environments have also been affected by these changes, and many claim local biospheres could be led up to extinction especially in locations such as the polar caps. The argument suggests that global warming is responsible for the decrease in deer population in Canada’s artic regions.
Many people have dreamed about visiting Alaska when they are on vacation. Alaska is a state with beautiful mountains, landscapes, and wild animals that has attracted many tourists around the world. With lands filled with snow, skies filled with the Northern Lights, and delightful animals, such as the fuzzy penguins, that wander around the place. However, in this past few years, these snows have been melting, and some animals disappearing. All of this is due to global warming. To some people, global warming is a huge threat to the Earth as ocean levels start to rise and species start to lose their habitats. On the other hand, some people think that global warming is helping the Earth, by giving it an excess amount of CO2 to plant, which acts
Arctic marine mammals are widely considered to be icons of climate change. However, no comprehensive studies have examined available data on population abundance, distribution and trends across the Arctic. In 2011, the "Arctic Biodiversity Assessment - Status and Trends" (ABA) was launched by the Arctic Council Working Group on Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF) to synthesize and assess the status and trends of biological diversity in the Arctic (CAFF, in press). The report is an international collaboration among marine mammal scientists from all Arctic countries, which serves to inventory and update the status and trends of all stocks of Arctic marine mammals. The ABA summarizes what is known about population sizes, trends, and
Animals are essential to maintain the circle of life and the food chain. It is just not the animals, but insects, reptiles, and aquatic animals are all interdependent on each other, and even on plants and humans. The animals in our world today are suffering from an all around change in climate. For some species they can withstand these conditions, but for most of these they struggle to keep the living standards they had before. This is a major problem not only for animal species, but us as humans as well. It could stunt our food production and minimize our consumer goods. We must take action now to solve this problem because many animals are victims of global warming, there are many crucial effects on several groups of animal, and many species could be projected to die.
What is Climate change? Is a change in the usual weather at a certain place. In this case earth. Earth keeps getting warmer and its temperature has risen and is still rising. The Arctic has been warming at a faster speed due to climate change. It is mainly caused by human burning of fossil fuels. Which is the process that produce greenhouse gases. Climate change does not only affect us humans but as well as the amazing species that surrounds us. Polar bears or Ursus maritimus who are carnivorous mammal and mainly live in the sea ice of the Arctic have been added to the the list of endangered species. Polar bear’s spend most of their time on the ice and depend on it as a platform to hunt seals, rest and breed. As a researcher wrote on the The Guardian, “Satellite data revealed that the total number of ice-covered days across the 19 regions declined at a rate of seven to 19 days per decade from 1979 to 2014.” The change in temperature is leading to the rapid melting of the sea ice. The ice is melting earlier in spring and it freezes later in autumn. Because of it polar bears have to spend more time on shore or traveling further to keep up with the melting ice. To which without the sea ice polar bear’s must look for other less nutritious food since they cannot out swim seals.
Global warming has become a major issue in the world today. Not only are humans being affected, but many species and organisms are as well. Naturally, the Earth experiences heating and cooling cycles, and has over time. The ice age is a great example of a cooling cycle that was rather extreme. Since the industrial revolution, the amount of greenhouse gases has increased and built up in the atmosphere over time (Weart, 2015). The climate changes are being caused by the heat that is trapped in the atmosphere. Global warming is defined as, “the increase in the Earth’s average atmospheric temperature that causes corresponding changes in climate and that may result from the greenhouse effect” (dictionary.com, 2015). Drastic changes are occurring in the Arctic everyday. The future of the Arctic and the depletion of the ozone layer seem to be the most popular today.. According to Weeks (2013), “new records have been set for low snow cover, smaller sea ice coverage more extensive melting, for a longer duration, of Greenland’s ice sheets. and higher temperatures in permafrost” (para 2). Although the melting of the ice allows connection to the region’s oil, gas, and minerals, the Arctic glaciers continue to melt as an increasingly large rate. This could destroy many ecosystems and habitats, that are already fragile and under a lot of pressure. Many things are consequences of climate change, from heat-related death and illnesses, rising seas, increased storm intensity, and a numerous
