as Hurricane Katrina. These are the four main ways that climate change will affect us based on the article. Furthering this analysis, I am now going to relate the issue of climate change with human ecology, environmental justice, globalization, and global stratification. Human Ecology is the study of the relationship between humans and their natural, social, and built environments. In regards to climate change, a human and their environment can be negatively affected. As we well know, disasters

leading to a further massive release of carbon into the atmosphere from the dead trees. Weather will fluctuate wildly, leading to a massive increase in natural disasters, and bringing diseases such as malaria as far north as Britain. Facing such a global catastrophe, it might be thought that it would be in everyone’s best interests to do something about it. Unfortunately, the best agreement that the world’s leaders have managed to come up with is the Kyoto Protocol, which commits the nations of the

Technology has become so helpful to our lives in so many ways. Technology is convenient and efficient. It aids us to live life more conveniently by allowing us to do more in less effort. It, then, becomes rather difficult to undermine the importance in which technology plays within our lives. Many people have benefited from the invention of technology and would most often find it complicated to do without. Year after year, technologies become reinvented through new ideas and the betterment of equipment

the earth's atmosphere as it lets in more harmful radiation from the sun. Consequently, our polluted atmosphere is becoming a better insulator, thus, preventing heat from escaping back into space. That is why there is a global rise in temperature which scientists refer to as " global warming". As a result of this rise in temperature the world food supply and sea level will be affected, also there is the probability of increase in the tropical disease. Sources of Air Pollution The combustion of gasoline and

1. Describe what a greenhouse gas is and give examples of the common greenhouse gases. Why are greenhouse gases important to surface energy balance? A greenhouse gas is a gas in an atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation within the thermal infrared range. This process is the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect Examples of common greenhouse gases are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, Chlorofluorocarbons, and ozone. Greenhouse gases strongly absorb the earth’s

by factors such as biotic processes, variations in solar radiation received by Earth, plate tectonics, and volcanic eruptions. Certain human activities have also been identified as significant causes of recent climate change, often referred to as "global warming". Scientists actively work to understand past and future climate by using observations and theoretical models. A climate record — extending deep into the Earth's past — has been assembled, and continues to be built up, based on geological
