Climate Change What is climate change? Climate includes patterns of temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind and seasons. "Climate change" affects more than just a change in the weather, it refers to seasonal changes over a long period of time. These climate patterns play a fundamental role in shaping natural ecosystems, and the human economies and cultures that depend on them.Because so many systems are tied to climate, a change in climate can affect many related aspects of where and how people

temperature has risen by 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit over the past century. While this may not seem like much (and opponents to the global warming theory are quick to point this out), large bodies of information show that small changes in average temperature lead to significant changes in global climate. Global warming impedes the growth of food sources, affects the temperature of large bodies of water, and can devastate populations living in low altitudes.

1. Climate Problems Leading to Supply Limitations In the flower business we are not free of regular changes in the weather that could affect the production from our suppliers. When these weather events are known for their seasonal arrivals and intensity, they are usually handled and the risk of damage is controlled; however, there are climatological phenomenons that are more strength and arrivals can’t be predicted. This is the case of “La Nina” phenomenon that visits South America every seven

ABSTRACT Climate change is fast becoming the most discussed environmental issue in world, as the threat it poses to mankind is evident. The rising sea level, ozone layer depletion and severe weather conditions are as a result of carbon emissions that contribute to climate change. Jason Bordoff in his article “Evaluating the Legality and Effectiveness of proposals to address competitiveness and leakage concerns” raised some policy concerns affecting the unilateral decision of a country to reduce

Third the earth is not the only planet that has had a change in temperature over the past few years, other planets have also had changing temperatures. I belief that global warming is caused by natural things and not humans. The first reason why I belief humans
