It occurs because of a build up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Many factors contribute to the abundance of these gases. Global warming is expected to increase the average temperature of the Earth's surface, raise sea levels, and change precipitation patterns (Lutz, 2005, 3). There are many potential impacts of these changes. The Earth could see an increase in extreme weather and will have

Climate Change and Cyber Security
Climate change and cybersecurity are two threats that worry every government in the world. Dealing with these two issues also need individuals to be involved and not just the governments. Cybersecurity is a widespread threat to online activity and global security in general but awareness about it is very minimal (Randle, 89-190.) Almost everybody knows a thing or two about cyber security but is not truly aware of the seriousness of it. Internet users may think that the internet is a safe place to share information, control the physical world and do transactions but far from it

Climate Change
“The time has past when humankind thought it could selfishly draw on exhaustible resources. We know now that the world is not a commodity.” — François Hollande
Global warming is not a prediction. It is happening right now. It is a current increase in temperature of the Earth's atmosphere, water, and surface. Human activities produce greenhouse gases that accumulate in the atmosphere and cause problems our planet faces today. Global warming can do more than just melt polar ice and change weather patterns throughout the world. It can change our maps, displace people from tropical islands and cities, and cause famine

There are some out there who, with reason, believe that natural processes are the main culprits of
climate change. They believe that atmospheric greenhouse gases, coming from fossil fuels and
other human activities, are too small to cause the following changes in the environment: rising
sea levels, droughts and the melting of ice. Even if they do believe that human activities are a
cause of climate change, they don’t believe that humans are the main reason. However, this is
contrary to my opinion. I believe that human activities not only induce climate change, but are
the primary reason as to why the Earth is warming up, melting ice, and causing rising sea levels.

This briefing paper introduces climate change as a determinant of health.
There is general agreement between most scientists that the globe has begun to warm as a result of increases in concentrations in the atmosphere of various greenhouse gases.
There is a tendency when one looks at the variety of environments in which mankind lives to say that a shift in average temperatures of a few degrees over a hundred years can surely be adapted to as it is well within the variations that humans cope with already. The natural systems that sustain human life are subject to thresholds, interactions and complexities that we poorly understand; we may not appreciate how close we are to

technologies in communication, transport, healthcare, and education have made the world better than it was two centuries ago. Naomi Klein, in her book "This changes everything," sheds light on capitalist extraction activities and their effect. I agree with Klein that divesting large fossil fuel corporations to reinvest in renewable sources of energy is the best way to tackle climate change and its effects.
Renewable sources of energy such as wind energy, solar energy, water, and electricity will assist in combatting the effects of carbon energy. These sources will help ease the pressure on carbon pools and reduce the number of harmful emissions into the atmosphere. According to Le 2

Climate Change - what is it, and how does it cause coastal erosion?
Climate change is a change in the usual weather found in a place. E.g., How much rain a place
usually gets in a year, or maybe it's colder in summer than it was 10 or 20 years ago.
Climate change is also a change in Earth's climate. This could be a change in Earth's average
temperature or a change in where rain

The importance of decarbonization
Climate is a part of our everyday lives. Climate change is a global environmental issue, which concerns the whole humanity. Climate change is caused by increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide that’s produced by fossil fuels, which changes climate patterns. Climate on Earth has been gradually changing due to the changes of the intensity of the sunlight. Greenhouse gases are another important factor. It is often said that humans are a reason of global warming, though there are a lot of natural reasons that contribute to climate change. To reduce the greenhouse gases that are causing

La Nina - La Nina is cooling of the water in the ocean surface along the Tropical Pacific Coast of South America. The Tropical Pacific refers to the area of the Pacific Ocean in between the Tropic of Cancer to the north and the Tropic of Capricorn to the south. La Nina occurs at irregular intervals, and is associated with changes in weather patterns complementary to those of El Niño, but less damaging in their effects.

The Effect of Climate Change on Economy
Earth is 4.5 billion years old and it had gone through a lot of traumatic events. One of the most controversial topics of today is climate change. There has been an ongoing debate whether the climate change is real or not. Some suggest that it is a hoax meanwhile others say that it is real. Both sides of the conflict have their own knowledge to back up their opinions. There is a lot of research and data which demonstrate that climate change is real, whereas there is no proper evidence or theories to defend the idea of climate change being fake.

Man-Made Global Warming vs Natural Climate Change
In the last few years, there has been an international debate over man-made global warming and natural climate change. Global warming is the steady increase in temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere. Therefore, it takes a long time for this process to happen. Climate change is the change in the regional or global weather conditions. Climate change is happening, and many believe that mankind is the cause of the changes.
Global warming has been an issue for decades, which is rapidly increasing every day. According to the American Meteorological Society, “It is clear from extensive scientific evidence that the dominant cause of the rapid

When one thinks about animals, the first kind to come to mind are the cute and cuddly ones versus the scaly frightening ones. Unfortunately, we tend to be more focused on their looks and actions rather than what is truly important, which is, their well-being. The average adult most likely doesn’t know what’s happening to some of the animals and their homes around the world today, just as they are unaware about the welfare of majority of the humans around the world. One of the animals that can be subjected to this is the Giant Panda (Ailuropoda Melanoleuca), these gentle mammals are

Nauru is a small oval shaped island in the Pacific Ocean. It is ruled by the UK, New Zealand, Australia but gets little say in its own governance. The population is approximately 13,000 people; not including the nearly 1,200 refugees held for resettlement in their detention center. The land area is 21 km2 with a 30 km coastline. Nauru is often cited in studies of climate change because of its relative position to the equator, small island topography, dependence on fishing, and lack of natural resources.
Nauru is 25 miles south of the equator. Being so close to the equator Nauru is in a prime position to measure climate change since there is little fluctuation in day

“Temperatures are rising, snow and rainfall patterns are shifting, and more extreme climate events-like heavy rainstorms and record high temperatures-are already affecting society and ecosystems” (Arizona). Atmospheric circulations are providing unusual patterns that are resulting in longer periods of wet weather. Since wet weather is increasing, the amount of floods is increasing as well. On the other side, high temperatures are becoming a big problem. Due to the extreme heat, droughts, wildfires and heat stress are affecting many people and areas. Farmers and ranchers are worried about their crops and their water supply, which is vulnerable to waterborne diseases. Melting

What is phenology? Phenology is the study of seasonal change and timing. Also phenology refers to main seasonal changes in plants and animals from year to year, such as flowering, emergence of insects and migration of many birds especially their timing and relationship with weather and climate. This growing part of science examines cyclical events in animal behavior and plant growth. A large amount of organisms, including humans, depend on the predictable nature of seasonal turns. Farmers, naturalists, gardeners, fishermen and others have recorded seasonal observations for centuries in notebooks. By combining this high historical record

How environmental factors influence agricultural yields
Change in climate is considered to be a global phenomenon, however it impacts are more widely felt in the developing countries due to their greater vulnerabilities and lesser ability to reduce the effects of climate change. Therefore, the major impact of climate change is on agricultural production due to changes in rain pattern, temperature, floods, droughts, and negative effects on water and land resources. Global agricultural production is challenged by climate change. Climate change affects different crops and regions differently, but it is generally expected that

Another example, according to page 3, paragraph 2 of the article, "Just five years ago, such a deal seemed politically impossible. A similar 2009 climate change summit meeting in Copenhagen collapsed, and acrimonious failure after countries could not unite around a deal." The Copenhagen meeting failed to make a difference in the world about climate change. The countries couldn't unite all together at once. The same thing might happen to the Paris Agreement, where all the nations unite together at once, and they would fail to make a positive impact or effect in the
