    Climate change has been a major topic of environmental concern over the past several decades. The International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has recently predicted a 1 to 3.5o Celsius increase in average atmospheric temperature above 1990 levels by the year 2100. One of the main causes of climate change is agriculture. Agriculture has evolved by including new technologies, increasing the amount of chemicals, mechanization, and government policies that preferred maximizing the production of food

    What is global warming? Over the past 50 years, the average temperature of the earth’s has increased at the fastest rate ever recorded. And scientists notice a trend is beginning. The earth hasn’t been this hot since 2000. People who deny climate change have argued that there has been pause in increase of temperatures, but studies have shown from a paper published in 2015, has disproved this claim. Scientists say that unless we stop using harmful emissions, the average U.S. temperatures could increase

    disastrous due to climate change. A variety of factors like rising sea levels and warmer oceans are just a few ingredients that make tropical storms worse. People need to understand that climate change does not cause severe storms, but it is a big contributor in the level of severity of the storm. It is important to know that there is a clear connection between climate change and hurricanes and it is especially important for people to know what they can do to reduce climate change problems, so that

    Global warming, also known as climate change, is the ascent in the average temperature of the earth’s climate. It is caused by the “greenhouse effect”, which is the accumulation of carbon-dioxide(C02) and other pollutants and greenhouse gases in the atmosphere which absorb solar radiation which is normally reflected back into space. Although it is caused by various factors, the largest sources of this heat-trapping pollution worldwide are the burning of fossil fuels for electricity and transportation

    Climate change is a natural occurrence that happens every so couple of years. The greenhouse effect increases the level of CO2 being released into the atmosphere,which is what triggers global warming. The collection of released CO2 increase temperature. Global warming melts the ice in colder places like Antarctica. This Increases the amount of water that flows in the oceans and rivers. Earth has a balance, so if there is a process and warming then there is a process of cooling. We call these cooling

    Environment Research Council (NERC) suggest ‘’Climate in the Antarctic Peninsula has warmed by 3°C meaning that once stable ice shelves are now retreating’’ (British Antarctic Survey, 2015). This evidence implies that global temperature in cold regions has risen in which it has caused floating sheets to disappear (National Snow and Ice Data Center, 2017). Additionally, government negotiators expect there will be a 4 degrees’ centigrade average global temperature change (Larkin, 2015). This suggest that temperature
