The major contributors to climate change so far had been the Industrial Revolution and the invention and wide-spread use of the gasoline powered automobile. The world had now become industrialized and new technologies were constantly being invented. The next big event to come from this happened soon after 1945. After the end of World War II in 1945 the world’s economy started to recover. This sent industrial production into overdrive. The automobile industry quadrupled and major corporations became

An example would be the rise in the migration to urban areas and rapid changes in what foods are wanted by consumers. As people begin to move into urban areas, the amount of farmers and help begin decreasing. Research has proven that the popularity for urban environments is in a constant rise. Sadly, recent observations have concluded that “the proportion of the world’s population employed in agriculture has declined in recent decades and 50 per cent of the world’s population now lives in urban environments

Human Involvement in Climate Change Today, there are reports of the effect of climate change that we often hear or see. Their effect of climate change is everywhere. In the past, there has been a report of drought in Somalia that causes the entire nation to go hungry and caused the lives of many of its citizens due to farming caused by the drought. According to Lindley (2014), this crisis generated and was exacerbated by high levels of forced displacement, with around a quarter of population displaced

and an increase in heat waves across the globe. A recent report released by the Environmental Protection Agency, titled “Climate Change in the United States: Benefits of Global Action” suggest that climate change impacts can be reduced or avoided through greenhouse gas mitigation. It focuses on the physical and economic risks of unmitigated climate change and the benefits the United States would have if they tackled the issue of climate change in a timely manner. Michael C. Veres, an Assistant

Climate change: Climate change is caused mainly by increase of human activity and industrialisation. For example, activities such as driving cars, farming, burning coal and cutting down forests produce greenhouse gases – mainly carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide which are emitted into the atmosphere, which create a layer of greenhouse gases around the earth and trap the sun 's heat. The earth over its 4.5 billion-year history has naturally fluctuated from ice ages to extreme droughts, however

warming, and the major contributor to global warming among the greenhouse gases is CO2 emission. (Chiroma) (CO2 Concentration (ppm)) Most previous studies defined global warming hiatus by making a comparison of the surface temperature change rates between recent decades and the last quarter of the twentieth century, just as they defined the accelerated warming by comparing the growth during the mid-1970s and the late 1990s with the rate of several decades before that.

Solutions To Climate Change by Richard L. Sandor says “The data shows that the climate was getting warmer and more erratic”(689). People have known about the connection between carbon pollution in the atmosphere and the climate rising. But, it was not until recent years that climate change has been a concern. Global warming is a tragedy waiting to happen. Climate change is real and has costs of not only animals in the wild, but human lives as well. In Market based Solutions To Climate Change by Richard L

The highly-impassioned issue of human-made climate change, or the idea that current climate-warming trends can be attributed to modern-day human activities, has become a very debated topic in our current century. In the last few decades, proponents and challengers of the anthropomorphic effects of this problem have volleyed arguments back and forth about whether climate change is a paramountly human-caused phenomenon or a predominantly natural process, with the latter arguing that there are few to

its effects of climate change policy Population growth and its effects on climate change have been hotly debated in recent years by scientists and politicians alike. The Fourth Assessment Report of the IPCC has sparked great interest and concern over climate change and how it affects countries differently. The concept of environmental justice has focused on climate change’s unbalanced effects on developing countries, whose populations are more vulnerable to climate change. With rapidly growing populations

For centuries, production and absorption of carbon dioxide was in balance with the ecosystem however, in the last century, human activity has caused detrimental effects to the earth’s atmosphere due to the consequential changes in earth’s natural feedback mechanism. This problem ultimately originated from the industrial revolution in the 18th century where as a result caused the constant production and burning of fossil fuels which has presently caused the warming of earth’s surface. This is ultimately
