Credibility: Melissa Denchak has a culinary diploma from New York City’s Institute of Culinary Education. She is a freelance writer and editor. She have also contributed to many magazines such as fine cooking and adventure travel. Also, NRDC is an organization that was founded by law students makes this article credible.
Summary: Denchak explains that climate change is destroying our environment. She states that humans are the main cause of climate change. By burning fossil fuels, humans are responsible for causing our atmosphere to weaken. She states that if humans continue to neglect climate change, our environment would diminish by time. The weather is getting hotter and is expected to be worse in the next century. Denchak provides evidence
After reading the article by Sara DeTurk I feel as though This journal investigates the lived encounters of individuals who go about as partners in light of a legitimate concern for social equity. In this article it talked about how Meetings were controlled to research the significance of the partner character and the strategies partners use to intrude on simplifications, bias, and cruelty others. While reading the article I interpreted that Findings recommend that individuals who stand up for the benefit of social justice from places of relative power do as such an out of personality worries that stress moral commitments, generally through definitive and dialogic practices that draw on their typical capital, and in ways that reflect belief systems
Unlike natural causes, man-made contributions to climate change are not a cycle, but a one way on-going process. We are releasing those harmful gases into the air, but at the same time never do anything to dissolve them back to maintain the atmospheric equilibrium. Our actions are causing extreme weather condition; meanwhile, the main concern that has been attracting a lot of awareness lately is “Global Warming”- the increase in global average
Part of the conclusion of the article “Climate change: evidence of human causes and arguments for emissions reduction”, written by Baum, Misra, and Karmosky states, “Climate change is a complex and important issue. The study of climate change spans many academic disciplines across the natural and social sciences, humanities, and engineering. Existing research finds that there is very strong evidence that the climate is changing, that these changes are driven primarily by human activity, and that the changes will have very large impact on natural and social systems.” (12)
The human race all around the world wonders if the climate is changing due to human activity or if it is just a natural occurrence. At certain parts of the Earth's surface, the climate can be observed much differently than other locations. As the years go by the average temperature of the Earth increases by little intervals. There are several different reasons why people believe the climate is changing every year. However, the increase of worldwide population and production of heat to the atmosphere is due to the increase of human activities that take place on a daily basis. Human activity is the main cause of the global climate change. The human impact on climate exceeds any known changes due to natural processes. The impact of this human activity is often misunderstood when looking at climate change.
“Climate change is happening, humans are causing it, and I think it is perhaps the most serious environmental issue facing us.” This quote from Bill Nye illustrates the serious nature of climate change. Climate change is the most serious issue that is plaguing the world. Global temperatures have been increasing in recent years and it is clear that our climate is changing. Climate change is the change of temperature and weather in our environment over long periods of time. A majority of scientists suspect that humans are causing climate change by emitting CO2 into the atmosphere which creates a greenhouse effect and warms the planet. The effects of climate change are far-reaching, impacting ocean life and plant life across the globe. It also directly impacts humans because global temperatures may cause sea levels to rise and temperatures become too warm to live in. Climate change is real and is occurring because the effects of climate change can be seen in our oceans, in global temperature increases, and because humans are directly causing climate change.
The earth is a beautiful and extraordinary planet, but are we treating it right? For the past 20 decades, temperatures have been rising along with hundreds of factors contributing to it. Climate change concerns the public as they wonder if its occurring, how much has occurred in the modern era, what has caused it, what the effects will be if we don’t do anything about it and much more. Many people and scientist agree that mankind is the number one cause of climate change. Humans have influenced this by greenhouse gases, methane nitrous oxide.
Previously, many scientists believed that any changes to the climate were simply just a natural part of planet Earth’s climate cycle, but over time it has become more and more clear that it isn’t quite the case. Most experts on climate now believe that humans and their activity are the main cause of climate change. Scientists agree on the fact that
Our climate is changing and we are all seeing and feeling the effects. This could either be brought upon by our interaction with the environment through our development and advancement, or can be a natural cycle of our planet/biosphere. The issue of global warming has been stressed to the various world leaders by the scientific community, as science points to the dangers in elevated greenhouse gasses (Revkin, 2012). “Global emissions of carbon dioxide jumped by the largest amount on record in 2010, upending the notion that the brief decline during the recession might persist through the recovery. Emissions rose 5.9 percent in 2010, according to the Global Carbon Project, an international collaboration of scientists. The increase
Humans have had a huge impact on climate change and are mainly the reason that change is even happening, as over the past hundred years they have been releasing large amounts of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases are mostly the result of the burning of fossil fuels, but they are also the result of activities such as deforestation, some agricultural practices and industrial processes. The effect that these greenhouse gases created have on the climate is that these gases create like a ‘blanket’ around the earth, trapping any energy in the earth’s atmosphere and therefore causing the climate to warm. This is what is known as the greenhouse effect. Although this is natural and it
As the earth’s atmosphere is gaining more and more energy, a few big problems are presenting themselves: major ice melt, forest fires, heatwaves, and air pollution. All of these are effects from one major cause, global warming. A common debate is whether global warming is manmade or a natural occurrence. Whatever the conclusion, humans certainly contribute to the mess. The human race must decrease dependency on fossil fuels in order to slow down or reverse global warming.
Some researchers don’t agree the climate change is all about the human. We cannot control kind of the natural cycle, it is a God’s job that hard to measure, such as ice age, earthquake or hurricane. Besides, human is not an only ruler of the earth, we are now, but not the all generations. Dinosaur used to be a ruler of the earth that they become extinct. Most of the people believe dinosaurs’ disappear because of the climate change. Climate change everywhere at any time. How can we measure the climate change is because of the mam-made. Climate has its natural cycle, also earth that is not eternal. Scientists and climatologists indicate the impact of climate change from a wide range of factors that include solar radiation, earth 's orbit or orogeny etc. All these factors may affect our climate that refer on sea temperature or melting glaciers, not just CO2 concentrations. Some researches argue the climate change is not exactly the man-made.
Climate change is an issue that is of major concern all around the world. Climate change should be a major concern right now and countries around the world need to implement changes to help improve the current conditions. Countries like the U.S. should set an example for everyone else by enforcing strict regulations on emissions and investing in clean energy sources to prevent further pollution of the planet and extreme weather cases directly linked to climate change. There are many causes of climate change, Current power plants burn fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas to generate electricity, however it is known that the burning of these fuels are dangerous and are a huge part of climate change. “The burning of these fuels, however, emits carbon dioxide, a gas that contributes to a phenomenon known as the greenhouse effect, which gradually causes the planet to warm and its climate to change” (Facts On File. Infobase Learning). These greenhouse gases absorb the heat from the sun and radiate it towards the Earth, however it also prevents some of the heat from leaving so this can lead to an increase of extreme weather cases. Scientists warn that if global greenhouse gas emissions are not reduced, the resulting climate change will lead to violent weather patterns, droughts, food scarcity, melting glaciers, and a rise in sea levels, all which could ultimately render the planet uninhabitable.
Climate change is a radical and abrupt alteration of the environmental balance between man and nature, and its consequences can be harmful if no actions are taken. Moreover, “earth’s temperature is influence[d] by the energy entering and leaving the planet’s system…[and] both natural and anthropogenic factors can cause changes in Earth’s energy balance” (Saurav, n.d., p. 1). According to Saurav, the following factors are the main causes of climate change:
All across the world, climate change is beginning to happen. Climate change is a natural thing that happens all the time but, humans are accelerating this change at an increasing pace in a bad direction. Editor and publisher Sandra May of NASA says “Most scientists say that humans can change climate too. People drive cars. People heat and cool their houses. People cook food. All those things take energy. One way we get energy is by burning coal, oil and gas. Burning these things puts gases into the air. The gases cause the air to heat up. This can change the climate of a place. It also can change Earth's climate.” These changes can also be referred to as global warming. This heating of our climate across the globe is causing bad thing to happen already, and
[Earth’s temperature is definitely warmer than it was hundreds of years ago, but not for natural reasons]. Gradually the Earth’s surface has become warmer over the last century and most scientists believe that the burning of fossil fuels is responsible for the temperature spike. According to Holli Riebeek, the Education and outreach specialist at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Global Warming is happening now, and greenhouse gases are responsible. The burning of fossil fuels causes the release of greenhouse gases, which then become trapped inside our atmosphere and cause Earth’s surface to warm. The greenhouse effect provides a habitable environment for all species on Earth, but [the Earth’s atmosphere now contains more greenhouse gases than ever before1]. The Earth is becoming a more efficient greenhouse, which will eventually cause the Earth to become inhabitable. [The natural causes of the warming of the Earth are too minute to explain how rapid the increase in temperature has been in the past 50 years. Between 1906 and 2005, the Earth’s temperature had risen .3 degrees, but in the last 50 years, the temperature increase rate has almost doubled and is predicted to continually increase] (Riebeek). Contrastingly, despite the knowledge and evidence that greenhouse gases are a large factor of Global Warming, some
