Cause and effects of Climate Change.

General purpose: to inform.

Specific purpose: After listening my speech my audience will know what is climate change, what causes it and its effects?

Thesis Statement: Climate change is a very important issue that affects all of us.

Organization pattern: Cause and effect.

Introduction:

I. (Attention-getter): How do you explain that 30 years ago we had a different weather than today? When you look at yourself in a dirty mirror; can you see your image very well? The same occurs when the sunrays reflect on the sea and that reflection can’t be release into space because gasses in the atmosphere block their exit to out of space causing the planet to get warmer.

II. Climate change is how weather has changed

Main point: What is Climate Change?

According to the Australian Academy of Science, Climate change is define as a change in the statistical properties of the climate system that persists for several decades or longer—usually at least 30 years.

The weather that we have or may have is a reflection of our atmosphere and the atmosphere is influenced by the oceans, land surfaces and ice sheets. Together they form the climate system. How we treat this group is going to be the outcome in our weather.

Transition: Now that you know what Climate Change is, I will tell you what causes it.

II. What causes Global Warming? Global warming is a complex phenomenon that can occur by different reasons.

A. Global Warming caused due to nature.

a) Solar Irradiance: changes in energy from the sun.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Earth 's temperature depends on the balance between energy entering and leaving the planet’s system. That means that when the energy from the sun is absorbed by The Earth, the planet warms while when the sun’s energy is reflected back the Earth cools.

b) Volcanoes: emission of gasses after

III. What are the effects of Global Warming?

According to a report of the U.S. Global Change Research Program

a) Temperatures will continue to raise, all the habitants on Earth are experimenting this changes around the world.

b) Changes in precipitations patterns

c) Heat waves and droughts

d) Hurricanes will be more intense although we are seeing this now; scientific predict it will be devastating in the future; causing losses on crops and an increase of diseases.

e) Sea level will rise from 1-4 feet by 2100 causing many people to migrate, although this is happening in many places in India.

f) Artic likely to become ice free because the heat trapped is already melting ice in Greenland, and scientists said it will continue if nobody takes action now.

Conclusion:

In conclusion I would like to share this phrase from the actor and environmentalist Ian Somerhalder: “The environment is in us, not outside of us. The trees are our lungs, the river our bloodstream. We are all interconnected, and what you do to the environment, ultimately you do to yourself.” – Ian

    How Human Activities Affect Global Warming Do human activities affect climate change, and as a result create global warming? Some scientists say no, but the majority of scientists say yes. They say human activities such as deforestation, using hydro-carbons, and burning fossil fuels, cause a lot of carbon dioxide to be released into the atmosphere changing the temperature of the climate, causing global warming. So now which group of scientists is correct?…

    Since the late 1800s, the average global temperature has risen by more than 1.5°F, and there are places that have seen increases of twice this amount. This warming is responsible for numerous changes beyond the thermometer. First, not only is the air temperature rising, but ocean temperatures are as well, and this is exacerbating the melting of glaciers and sea ice. This is shifting sea levels, something also affected by changes in precipitation patterns. The strength and timing of extreme weather events are also being altered.…

    The Liberal Hoax Climate Change: A long-term change in the Earth’s climate, especially a change due to an increase in the average atmospheric temperature. It is largely due to the increasing amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere. Ever since the industrial revolution, it has been a rapidly growing issue. More recently, however, certain groups of people have begun to deny this scientifically proven phenomenon. In fact, in 2015, Donald Trump, who now is the President of the United States of America has stated, “I’m not a believer in man-made global warming.”…

    Climate change is a complex global issue that encompasses a multitude of physical systems ranging from the atmosphere to the carbon cycle to the cryosphere and the ocean. This brief provides an introductory overview of the current state of climate science, using data on historical and future trends from recent scientific literature. It explores the methodologies of scientific research on climate change; the role of the atmosphere and greenhouse gases (specifically carbon dioxide) in climate change; the effects of climate change on the ocean (temperatures, sea levels, cryosphere, ocean acidification); and the consequences of climate change on extreme weather. Before delving into the climate science, two terms are unnecessary to grasp patterns in climate change: climate forcing and climate feedback. Climate forcing occurs when a factor external to the climate system changes the actual climate system.…

    Alejandro Vieyra Mr. Moody English 4 5 December 2016 Climate Change Must Stop Climate change is the changing of weather patterns in regions all around the world. The primary cause of climate change is the appreciable amount of fossil fuel emissions that humans are sending into the atmosphere. These emissions consist of carbon dioxide that ultimately retain more heat in our atmosphere than needed, thus elevating the temperature everywhere around the globe and damaging ecosystems greatly. Many people, including politicians and scientists, believe that climate change is simply a hoax. Although some prefer to believe that climate change is fake and we have nothing to worry about, there are concrete facts that prove these individuals wrong.…

    Then the normal light that people get every day hits the surface of the Earth and acts as heat. Then, Shaftel says,” About 90 percent of this heat is then absorbed by the greenhouse gases and radiated back toward the surface.” The radiation bounces of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and heats the surface. Every time it hits the surface, heat is lost from the surface absorbing it and heating up. The more greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere, the more this effect is intensified.…

    Climate change doesn’t always mean “hotter” it can also mean “cooler”. Natural events can cause climate change. Volcanic eruptions release enormous amounts of sulfur dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere in the form of tiny droplets of aerosol. The droplets of aerosol stay in the atmosphere and reflect the sunlight back into space, cooling the earth down. Even the natural gases that are produced are being produced at a much higher rate than previously.…
