With Current Technologies”, Stephen Pacala and Robert Socolow went in a different direction and presented a positive outlook on the improvement of the Earth’s current environmental state and introduced the idea of stabilization wedges. Lastly, the IPCC 2014 Summary report is a report that focused on looking at how nations can act to limit climate change. In the rest of this response, I will provide a synopsis of the goals and themes that were displayed in each of the readings. Finally, I will reflect

emission. Agree Why we should not worry about global warming since 1950 has been caused by man. Global warming is real, but in the next century the likely rise will be from 1C to 3.7C, not the 5C-plus scenario touted by alarmists. Similarly the IPCC report calls into question the alarmist claim that sea levels will rise 1m to 2m. Its estimates are in the range of 40cm to 63cm by the end of the century. Moreover, this moderate message is reinforced by the past 15-20 years of little or no temperature

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
