We’re Thinking about Climate Change Wrong Climate Change. Also known as global warming, is the irreversible end that we will face if we do not change our ways. The effects of climate change have already started to take effect. Over 50% of The Great Barrier Reef is dead over the past two years. Natural disasters are becoming more frequent such as Hurricane Harvey and Cyclone Debbie. With all these natural disasters taking place, it begs the question, why do some people still don’t believe that climate

As global climate change becomes a bigger and a more prominent problem, we realize change must come sooner or later. Many people will point at many different solutions out or problems to when it comes to climate change. But we must realize we are the cause of the main factor to this horrific event taking place at this very moment. So what could we do to help our very own planet? Many things could involve like keeping the community clean, preserving more resources and reusing them. But what could

Applying Sociological Concepts Climate change is the process in which the earth’s climate changes gradually over time. We are seeing the affects of climate change everywhere as the temperature continues to increase and results in consequences such as the melting of glaciers. The melting of the glaciers has caused a significant increase of water in oceans which severely affects many organism’s natural habitats. According to NASA many scientists agree that the main cause of this is the

The planet goes through normal intervals of warmer and colder climates. However, since the start of the industrial revolution humans have had an undeniable effect on the environment. One area of our planet that has been feeling the strain of anthropogenic causes is the Arctic. Arctic ice sheets have been gradually melting and this can have a profound effect on sea functions and sea life. The Arctic sea is made of old thick ice that forms in the Beaufort Gyre, and new thin seasonal ice. This old ice

Answering to the dark The musky smoke smell of the bitter air filled my lungs. But the smell is familiar as any in this hell of a city and either way this is the new age and only the tiger class gets the real clean air, the rest of us are just here, left to die. But we have to be contained in the new era because we are all the ancestors of the rebels that caused the downfall of the 45th century, so we need to be “contained”. Although the conditions are not even close to surviving I am okay, so don’t

Ocean Sequestration: Carbon concentration in atmosphere is growing every day, the ocean acts as a largest sink for the human emitted CO2, also discharging CO2 directly to the ocean would accelerate the ongoing, but slow, natural processes by which over 90% of present-day emissions are currently entering the ocean indirectly and would reduce both peak atmospheric CO2 concentrations and their rate of increase.(Howard J. Herzog Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Energy Laboratory). Layers of

melting in the northern hemisphere. People do not believe global warming is happening in our time or even true facts at all about global warming. Every day chemist and scientist become one step closer to finding out more things mankind can do to prevent this from happening.

is done about it. Right now global warming is happening. Ice is melting which is raising the seas level. Also sense the ice is melt we are becoming a darkening plant. This meaning that because we are darker we don’t reflect as much sunlight and the average temps are going up. Lastly there are some many people in the world that all the CO2 is going into the oceans. Causing an overwhelming amount of salt in our oceans. We need to slow down or figure out a way to stop global warming with science. Please

Global Warming “Global warming, along with the cutting and burning of forests and other critical habitats, is causing the loss of living species at a level comparable to the extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. That event was believed to have been caused by a giant asteroid. This time it is not an asteroid colliding with the Earth and wreaking havoc: it is us.” Former Vice President, Al Gore, has continued his ongoing work as an environmental activist even after

The Global Climate Coalition (GCC), the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and environmentalists suggest answers to these problems. This essay argues that some solutions work more effectively to these focusing on climate change, loss of land and negative impacts on public health. Climate change forms a serious threat to the environment, urban sprawl has resulted in serious emission of greenhouse gases as more cars are used which requires more energy use. Then, more and more global warming
