values for temperature and precipitation) for a given place and time of year, from one decade to the next. We know that the global climate is currently changing. The last decade of the 20th Century and the beginning of the 21st have been the warmest period in the entire global instrumental temperature record, starting in the mid-19th century. Climate change, also called global warming, refers to the rise in average surface temperatures on Earth. An overwhelming scientific consensus maintains that

Where is the Earth heading? Albert Gore's speech "Global climate change: Protecting the environment" is a very inspiring essay not just because global warming is a big discussed issue these days but also because it's one of the biggest problems.

GLOBAL WARMING NAME INSTITUTION GLOBAL WARMING The gradual increase of temperatures within the earth surface has raised concerns off late. Global warming; which is the gradual heating up of the earth surface, has posed threats to the survival of flora and fauna and to some extreme extent resulted to the extinction of some species. Scientists have documented the statistics on the world changing temperatures since 1800. It is evident from the data collected that the earth surface temperatures

globally or regionally. There has been many drastic changes throughout the globes climate. In my opinion this is due to global warming. Winters are colder in more fierce and summers are more hot and humid where I live, in the state of Maryland the United States.

to make life more comfortable. Consequently, human beings adapt, depend on, and modify the environment in order to make life more comfortable. This has resulted in consequences such as climate change that have only recently been appreciated by the global community. It is an irrefutable fact that human beings cannot survive without the environment. Therefore, the topic of how humans are interacting with the environment is becoming an increasingly debated topic. This paper seeks to discuss how humans

To what extent do urban areas create their own climate (40 Marks) An urban area is the region surrounding a city. Jobs are those in a non-agricultural field, making urban areas very developed causing a high density of human structures such as houses, buildings, and transport links. Urban areas contain microclimates which measures the average weather condition in a small area. Due to human activity, temperature in an urban area is a fundamental characteristic, as temperature is relatively higher
