of Global Warming? Global warming is certainly a major challenge for the world today. These challenges affect every living being and it threatens the health of our planet. This problem will continue to affect our planet at a quicker and more destructive rate over time unless significant changes are made. Humans must take action now to ensure that our planet stays healthy. Many people are unaware of just how severe the problem is, and some completely disagree it is a problem at all. The Earth is
Anthropogenic vs natural Global Warming Anthropogenic is the cause of climate change which is influenced by humans. Many agree that humans are the main cause of climate change due to all the toxins that we release in to the atmosphere on a day to day basis. However it is argued that that natural global warming is also a huge factor influencing climate change. Green House effect Scientists have concluded that most of the observed climate change is due to human activity witch affects the atmosphere such
the atmosphere. It has 1 year of global warming potential. Methane is another one of the primary gases that affect the greenhouse effect and it is emitted during the production and transport of coal, natural gas, and oil. Methane has a 12-year average lifetime in the atmosphere and 28 years of global warming potential. Another primary gas is Nitrous oxide, which is emitted during agricultural and industrial activities,
geography has changed through the years because of the climate changes in, which the human population is affecting the climate and physicality. Tucson was
to get a better life, these two are inseparable. There was a huge change in our life today, human life is now much easier than it used to thanks to the human development. However, the more we developed the more we harm the environment. the question is “Is Human development possible without an environmental cost?” We Disagree because of the overpopulation that has a negative impact of the environment such as global climate change and depletion of natural resource. In addition, we can underestimate
Nowadays, humans are destroying the environment unconsciously. This type of problem creates havoc in our world. For example; cutting trees and plants to increase the area of farming affect some species of animal and plant loss their habitat, using chemical fertilizers, herbicides and insecticides to increase agricultural production which make soil and water cause toxic and kill the animal. All of these aspects are going to be based on the ideas from “The New Atlantis” a short story by Ursula K.
Climate change is one contemporary issue that has created several impacts on the environment and communities. Climate change, also called global warming, refers to the rise in average surface temperatures on Earth. This also includes changes in the patterns of temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind and seasons. (Washington Department of Ecology, 2016) One of the main factors contributing to climate change is the abundant release of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Since the Industrial Revolution
Task 1 Can polar bears and people coexist? Polar bears are the largest land predator on earth today. They live in the Arctic area, surrounded by the northern nations like Norway, Greenland and Canada. The effects of global warming have caused the temperatures to rise, which have led the Arctic ice to melt. Because the polar bears’ territory is shrinking, they are forced to hunt further inland. They usually hunt on the sea ice, but they cannot do that now. A polar bear can starve for months, but
“A global deterioration of climate, by order of magnitude larger than any hitherto experienced by civilised mankind, is a very real possibility and may be due very soon.” - Scientists’ letter to President Nixon (USA), December 1972 Even back then, climate change and global warming has already been a concern to many people due to the disastrous effects it would have onto the world. Today, these two complications are definitely evident and observable in people’s lives. Due to climate change, the Earth’s
How Does Cutting Down Trees Affect the Environment? Trees and humans need each other in order to survive because humans make carbon dioxide while trees absorb the carbon that they make. Trees help give shelter, warmth, and everyday materials with agriculture. Deforestation is such a bad epidemic that most people don’t understand how it can affect everyone and the environment. By taking trees it makes loss of habitat, warm weather, soil erosion, and less clean air. People who cut down trees illegally
