In the article “Global Warmings Terrible New Math” the effect of climate change and its devastating consequences on our environment were outlined. More specifically it was illustrated how developing countries are at a greater disadvantage than developed countries when it comes to adapting to climate change. This can be due to their geographical location and concepts such as space and place can explain why they’re more vulnerable. Additionally, the history of the countries development also plays a

Global warming is a phenomenon caused and intensified by humans as we have exploited the earth heavily for its resources and in doing so we have caused a large change in the characteristics of our planet and its climate. Global warming is caused foremost through the release of green house gases (GHGs) mostly through the burning of fossil fuels, the trend can be very clealry seen between CO2 levels and temperature increase over the last 150 years. The last 150 years have bshown such a huge change

Global Warming is a major problem which our environment faces today terribly. This global warming is caused due to Greenhouse Effect which is a condition in which Earth’s heat trapping increases more from the normal levels. Climate change, devastation of the ecosystem, melting ice over Arctic and Antarctic regions, negative impacts in the agricultural sector are just the problems caused by global warming. Many damages have been caused by this phenomenon. Policies on global warming are made each day

Impacts of Climate Change on Biodiversity 1. Introduction Climate change (also known as global warming) refers to an increase in mean annual surface temperature of the earth’s atmosphere, owing to increases in concentration of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide in the atmosphere (Ninan, 2009). Biodiversity, on the other hand, is shorthand for biological diversity, and it is about the living world with which humanity not only co-exist but has evolved
