Global warming and climate change are terms for the observed century-scale rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system and its related effects.[2] Multiple lines of scientific evidence show that the climate system is warming.[3][4][5] Although the increase of near-surface atmospheric temperature is the measure of global warming often reported in the popular press, most of the additional energy stored in the climate system since 1970 has gone into ocean warming. The remainder has

The first way that climate change affects this biome is coral bleaching. This is the most noticeable to the human eye it is a stress caused by hot water temperatures and leads to the death of corals. The next reason is that scientist are almost sure that climate change due to greenhouse gasses will create a new set of unpredictable weather cycles through each year. Tropical storms are increasing the damage done to coral reefs.

explain what happened to the Mayan people are: drought and climate changes lead to the demised of the Mayan culture, and/or warfare from neighboring cities or foreign invaders caused the Mayans to become extinct. Scientist Martin Medina-Elizalde and Eelco Rohling believe that the climate changes affected the rainfall causing droughts. Many others believe that invaders from other countries or cities over powered the Mayans. Climate changes If invaders caused the end of Mayan civilization, why

opinions of climate change. It further explores where the ideas originated from and what it means to the different types of people from different places and more importantly why we disagree so much about it. Climate change continues to remain a controversial subject amongst many and takes on a different meaning and purpose to everyone one. This research paper will also examine how mass media, politics and private groups in the fossil fuels industry have impacted our views on climate change. Working

vapour in the atmosphere affects the earth’s climate. It is so named because it acts like a glass greenhouse for plants by preventing the incoming heat from the sun from leaving causing warming of the earth just as the inside of a greenhouse warms. The Greenhouse Effect can also be likened to being under a blanket in the sunshine; the body under the blanket will heat up and the blanket will keep the heat from escaping causing warming. The earth’s climate is driven by this continuous flow of energy

consider and compare when deciding to move to another location. One has to consider the climate, cultures, economics, crime rate, and agriculture. Some states are so different, they don’t seem like they’re in the same country. Many people move to California or Texas for the vast opportunities. The climates in California range from cool wintry weather in the north, to sunny and hot weather in the south. Texas weather changes from hot to rainy and sometimes too cold with some areas with sleet and snow. Californians
