Climate Change, Fact or Nonsense Climate change is a continually rising hot topic among our society and many believe if we do not act now it will be irreversible. Since the early 20th century, average temperatures have increased 1.4°F. Atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases have increased over this time period as well. Both sides in the debate over global climate agree on these points. The debate today seems to lie not only whether global warming is real or not but if humans are to be held…
believer. Humans are play a large role in climate change with our emission off fossil fuels, aerosols, and CO2 released when manufacturing concrete. Climate change is weather patterns that extend for several years. Climate Global warming is a major effect of climate is one of the biggest problems to find a fix for. Some other effects of climate change are rising sea levels, extreme weather conditions, and impacts our health. Some effects of climate change, can’t be physically seen by the…

Climate change is a relevant topic in today’s society that has important effects in the political field and in future generations. The Earth’s climate changes in natural cycles. In the last 650,000 years, there have been 7 cycles of glacial advance and retreat (“Global”). The current warming trend is significant because most of it is very…
The Earth's climate has changed throughout history. Just in the last 650,000 years there have been seven cycles of glacial advance and retreat, with the abrupt end of the last ice age about 7,000 years ago marking the beginning of the modern climate era — and of human civilization” (Shaftel, 2016).

1900s. The current issue in question revolves around the extent climate change will affect mankind, the timescale and the severity of such changes. Various visible physical changes are evident over the last decade. Not only does the disasters strike more frequently and with more force, all three major global surface temperature reconstructions illustrate that the Earth has warmed vastly since 1880. The Department of Energy & Climate Change (2014) stated a 0.5°C increase in average temperature…
My question is “ Does climate change affect tropical storms in the Atlantic”? My questions covers the scientific analysis of the current conditions of the atlantic climate and the tropical storm conditions that are slowly changing. There are many different conflicting views on the topic. Some say that it is inevitable and others say that we must make a change to restore sea temperature. After all the research i conducted i firmly believe that we must make a change because we are the reason for…

In “Climate Change,” the author aims to inform the reader what will happen if the recently released study on climate change is accurate. He does this by using several specific words and phrases to convey a serious tone. The first way the author tries to convey a serious tone is that they have a reliable research team. The research team looked specifically at the Northeast of the United States. These scientists are from the University of Massachusetts! This article has recently bee published so…
