Such as global warming. The main reason for global warming is the massive use of fossil fuels by humanity over the past century, the release of large amounts of greenhouse gases; the large-scale burning of coal, natural gas, and other significant greenhouse gas emissions; indiscriminate deforestation, making the ability to absorb carbon dioxide caused by the decline. Global warming will redistribute global precipitation, glaciers and permafrost melting, sea

Much attention has been focused on the effects of climate change on the ocean. Even with its vast capacity to absorb heat and carbon dioxide, the physical impacts of climate change on the ocean are now very clear and dramatic. The ocean’s water temperature is on a constant rise. The temperature isn’t rising in drastic numbers, but it is gradually rising and causing problems in our oceans. There are three major ways these warm temperatures are affecting our oceans such as coral bleaching, fish migration

How does our environment affect us? For years, doctors and scientists have observed that the environment that people live in have major affects on their health. However, the environment can also affect a person’s mental well-being. Sadly, often times, people may be placed in environments that they have no control over. Perhaps the most iconic example of this is the Holocaust. The concentration camps altered the behaviors and beliefs of those in them. Elie Wiesel explains these consequences of the

Adam Frank claim that our evolution into the modern industrial cause climate change and resource depletion. Based on all the projects we presented in class, the claim made by Frank is correct. My group project was focus on emission product by agriculture, which lead to till-framing. One of the reason farmer till their land is to increase crop production. Furthermore, the increasing crop production caused by population increase. In addition, the meat and other food production are also increase, which

turning, the leaves are falling, and the cold weather is upon us. From Sunday Night Football to the upcoming holidays, there are many things that are probably on all of our minds. Then, what the heck is going on with the title of this article? From Global Warming, to Climate Change, to those who believe in neither, the common theme revolves around a warming trend that could potentially affect the most polar regions of the globe. But, to be honest, that has nothing to do with my point. I titled the

By definition, the Anthropocene is a proposed epoch that began when human activities started to have a significant global impact on Earth's ecosystems. The idea of an anthropogenic era is a highly debated topic amongst many researchers such as: Paul Wapner and Christopher J. Preston, who have attempted to provide viable solutions to ease the Anthropocene. They also argue that “we have so tamed, colonized, and contaminated the natural world that safeguarding it from humans is no longer an option”

If a majority of Americans are asked about the duties and priorities of a president, the public’s typical answers will be creating many jobs, sustaining a healthy economy, and ensuring the country’s national security. A growing source of concern to scientists worldwide is the modern neglect and apathy towards the environment, which has suffered immensely with the advent of the industrial and technological revolutions. Scott Pruitt has nonchalantly remarked, “[The E.P.A. will commence] a red team-blue

their critical maximum temperatures faster than high-latitude species. Consequently, tropical vertebrate species of all four taxonomic groups will likely experience the most detrimental changes in thermal performance during warming. In addition, if global temperatures continue to rise beyond the 21st century projection, even high latitude species will begin to experience decreased performance, as temperatures exceed their optimum conditions. Ultimately, what can be determined from this study is that

How will the planet change without Artic sea ice? It’s a question that has been asked around and scientist have come up with an answer. Scientist are saying that by midcentury, the Arctic coastline and most of the Arctic Ocean will be devoid of sea ice. Which means that we will have an additional 60 days to some regions having 100 days more open water. These events will have affects on the Arctic environment, it could mainly change the aspects of the polar ecosystem and affect the lives of those

Global Warming - Marine and Antartic Science Planet Earth or Planet Ocean? 70% of the earth’s surface is covered by water. There’s been life in the oceans for about 3.45 billion years longer than there has been on the land. The oceans determine, to a vast degree the patterns of global and regional climate. The Oceans are the driving force of our weather and climate. Climate is what we expect. Weather is what we get. Climate change is affecting the temperature of the oceans. The composition of
