A full-fledged climate war is brewing on the horizons of human civilization; one that pays no regards to political borders neither to the conceited significance humans place on wealth and power. To the world's dismay, there will be no negotiations and no avoidance of its consequences. Guided by the means of industrial revolution, humans are extruding a catastrophic level of fossil fuel born greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, enough to instigate dramatic disruptions in meteorological and climate

That quote is from the year 1908, in that year Teddy gave a speech much like the letter your are reading at this very moment. I imagine you are wondering who I am. Well, I am Dr. Schoenborn, I am from Brazil and I study the effects of climate change in the Tropical Rainforest. Currently the Rainforest biome is experiencing the effects of climate change, but it is on the breaking point of a real hell on Earth. If we allow the wasteful and careless methods of today to continue...and get out of hand

A community of plants and animals, living, thriving, and growing. This was the Florida Everglades until its fresh water supply was cut off. This fragile ecosystem can be disrupted by the smallest change, and the pollution that goes into it from the water presents a big threat. When the Everglades water supply was cut off, the ecosystem around it was unable to get fresh, clean water. The populations of the animals and plants began to decrease dramatically. The lack of fresh water was a shock

Ryan Bennett Mrs. Gossett Eng. 4C 6 Nov. 2014 Making It Clear The climate of Earth has been a topic of discussion for ages. As time goes on the question about climate that seems to recur the most is: “Why does the world climate change?” Today that question has turned into a matter of debate on whether or not global climate change is a natural process or it is caused primarily by humans. While many people have tried to account reasons that humans cause climate change, most theories don’t gain support

The purpose of this research study is to recognize the influences of the factors that affect daily and annual activity patterns of a species, in this case, the bear. This will help provide understandings to the challenges that face these individuals, particularly when climate shifts, and therefore this study is important in conservation. It is important to study the rhythms of certain species with respect to their environment because they are assumed to enhance the survival and reproductive fitness

Deciphering California’s Proxy Data Through Clues and Similarities of Physical Characteristics By Shelly Kniss Geog 178 Significant changes have been occurring in Earths’ climate history. Humans as an apex species are very prosperous in their adaptation of the world around and the world they have created. Past practices of this adaptation are now catching up with them. And to further the acknowledgment of the contributions to the rapid and increasing changes of Earth’s climate, paleoclimatologists
