Climate change is refers to the rise in average surface temperatures on earth, mostly due to the burning of the fossil fuels such as oil and coal, which emits greenhouse gases into the atmosphere which are primarily carbon dioxide, water vapor, methane, nitrous oxide, and chlorofluorocarbons (#02). In addition, other human activities, such as agriculture and deforestation, also contribute to the growth of greenhouse gases that cause climate change (#01). According to this, many have make their own

Lead with respect, not with power. Throughout my Global Lead experience, I learned a lot about what a global citizen is and how to become a better one. I also learned a lot about myself and who I am as a person and leader and also how I lead my life. I believe a global citizen is one who is aware of what is happening around the world; one who genuinely cares and is curious, and one who has the desire to help in any way possible. When I first arrived in Greece and we talked about being a mindful

and in areas where it’s typically cold it’s now become warmer. For many year now, people have wondered if global warming is a true topic to be worried about. Throughout the years, the world has encountered people who believe that global warming is natural, and that the temperatures change over time regardless of human interference. On the other hand, there are people who believe that global warming is very serious, and will eventually affect future generations. As of now, scientist may only research

Troposphere: The troposphere is the first atmosphere’s layer after the Earth’s crust. This is the layer where all the weather condition such as rain, snow, wind etc. happens. The layer starts immediately after the crust and because of the irregular surface of the Earth, the height of the layer can change, the maximum height is 20 Km and the minimum can be below 6 km. The composition of the troposphere includes nitrogen (78%), oxygen (20%), argon (0.93%, carbon dioxide (0.04%), water vapour and

Problem: Global Warming Solve/ Reduce/ Eliminate the problem: The major problem that people face in the present day era is global warming and it would affect the society in generations to come. There have been already several issues faced by the international community due to this. For instance rise in water levels, famine due to overheating of the earth’s surface and many more. It is time that the international community act accordingly to control it. The damage has been caused but then it’s still

How humans are impacting the environment Humans are impacting the environment because of all the electricity that we use everyday, most people have computers, TV and lights on at all times and are using so much electricity which gives out stuff that could be bad and dangerous to us and our surroundings. We also are impacting the environment because of the renewable and non renewable things that we use, we buy something knew which is electrical to replace the old equipment and they get left lying

STRUCTURE OF THE ATMOSPHERE Troposphere | Closest to the earth and most weather happens here. Temperature drops as you go higher. Wind speeds increase. Most unstable layer. End of the sphere is marked by the tropoPAUSE- an isothermal layer where temp remains constant. | Stratosphere | Steady increase in temperature. Marked by the STRATOPAUSE. Atmosphere is thinner here. | Mesosphere | Temperature decreases to -90. No water vapour or dust to absorb radiation. Very strong winds at 3000 km/hr

mother Earth have the carrying capacity to meet the needs of future population growth?”. I would like to say that the simple answer is no, as there is lots of evidence that our planet can not endure in keeping living conditions for humans optimal, with global warming and pollution damaging the ecosystem. for example: human machines and electrical devices release Cholorofluorocarbons which damage the ozone gases in the ozone layer which protects the humans and other beings from harmful ultraviolet rays
