Climate Change- Climate is a long term change in the Earth's weather, especially due to an increase in the average atmospheric temperature. According to research, it was discovered that the Earth's temperature rose by 0.6 degrees Celsius (C) and predicted that the sea surface temperature may rise by up to 1 degrees C over the next 50 years. Unfortunately, carbon dioxide and methane gas levels are the highest they have ever been for the last 420000 years. These two gases with water vapour, nitrous oxide and halocarbons create the five predominate greenhouse gases, effecting the environment greatly. Furthermore, it is evident that an average person release 4 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide per year. Due to this fact, carbon dioxide

The sudden surge in greenhouse gases has caused a chain reaction of unpleasant events. As frozen tundras melt due to the increase of temperature, methane trapped beneath the surface is released into the atmosphere. However, humans are the biggest suspect of this global change. We burn hundreds of thousands tons of fossil fuels everyday. Even if we stopped emitting these gases, this trend would continue. If not regulated, we will be unable to eventually stop the bowling ball of global warming as it hammers towards

Socially, globalization impacts the lives of people by impacting their work, their families, and their societies. This is because globalization affects the security of a country, its culture, and identity by introducing new ways of thinking and living. In the article, The Case for Contamination, the author Kwame Anthony Appiah, observes

concerned of the effects climate change could have on the world. There is so much evidence that climate change exist so we need to find a way to stop climate change so the effects of climate change won’t happen. We soon learned that the cause of climate change could have been through greenhouse gases. There are different types of greenhouse gases, but the one we’re going to talk about is carbon dioxide. Greenhouse gases (which are located below the atmosphere) are gases that allow light from the sun to pass through the gases and some light/heat back out into space, but a certain amount of light gets trapped on the earth. This is called the greenhouse effect.

The life in the U.S compared to that of the Soviet Union during the 60’s is an amazing phenomenon of a declining life expectancy in a highly developed country just like in the case of the Soviet Union during the 60’s down to the 70’s. The result of the life expectancy rate in the Soviet Union shows that there is only a small part to true informal changes in the state of living. However, the weak point of the measures of life expectancy is of vital importance, although another factor is the unfavourable selection of risks by war, thereby making a less valuable comparison between the international and inter temporal. Another factor is the logical difference between period and the measurement of the group of people sharing a common factor

The burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil, and deforestation over the last 200 years has caused the concentrations of heat-trapping "greenhouse gases" to increase significantly in our atmosphere. These gases prevent heat from escaping to space. Greenhouse gases are necessary in our lives as they help in keeping the planet 's surface warmer than it would otherwise be. But, as the concentrations of these gases continue to increase in the atmosphere, the Earth 's temperature is climbing above past levels (USEPA, 2014).

Modern terrorism, as deduced from this literature, is acts to violence strategically used by secular groups spanning international borders with the aim of achieving a desired outcome. Further, it can be seen as organized activity whose genesis can be traced back to the 1880’s. From then to now there are identifiable traits and patterns observed from different (terrorist) groups which have allowed for the conceptualization of the term modern terrorism. This concept therefore, can be best explained in the context of being a wave or having a life cycle. That means it is a cycle of activity demarked by phases from inception and expands along the way then eventually it declines. The world, thus far, has experienced four waves of modern

It is currently the year 2100 and the climate has changed a lot since the early 2000s. Scientists have studied and observed how the greenhouse effect works. Global Warming has affected the way we live today. We’ve now learned how to prevent too much gas from being trapped in the atmosphere thanks to new technology. Although things have changed there are still problems.

In early 19th century, the first industrial revolution started, and the emission of CO2 increased for the combustion of fossil fuel, the building of transportation system, and land clearing. In 1859, a person called Tyndall discovered that infrared radiation was blocked by some gas, and suggested than climate changes would probably caused by the phenomenon ( “The discovery of ,” 2012). Later on, in 1896, a calculation about how emission of carbon dioxide leads to green house effect was published and global warming aggravated during world wars, and eventually US office of Naval Research started to devote money into

We as a society have reached one of the most crucial time periods in the history of our world. Due to the way we have used the resources on this earth we have created a situation in which our climate is drastically changing. The burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil has caused gases like carbon dioxide to become trapped in the atmosphere causing a natural greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect has caused the earth’s average temperature to rise and has resulted in arctic glaciers melting. These glaciers had gases trapped inside them that are now being released into the atmosphere further raising the earth's temperature. Due to the way we are polluting our air we have caused global warming. This global warming has caused stronger natural disasters such as hurricanes and wildfires putting our society in more danger than ever before.

Globalization has assisted in improving the use of resources and saving the environment by promoting

According to a recent study, humans having been causing global warming for about 180 years. The study reconstructed 500 years of climate to determine when the warming shift started. They found that the earliest stages of human-caused greenhouse warming began in the Industrial Revolution, mainly around the 1830s in the Arctic and tropical oceans, followed by change in North America, Europe, and Asia. At this time in human history, we has started burning fossil fuels like coal. This was used to power factory machines, and steam engines used in trains and steamboats. Fossil fuels originate from the remains of ancient plants and animals, and when burned, release carbon-dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the

However, better healthcare and protection from government result in rising age expectancy, which is a double-edged sword as on one hand, people live longer as shown in report (Friedland and Summer, 2005, Fig 1-2) and on the other hand, the proportion of aging population increases if the younger generation are not reproducing enough, and this is exactly the trend now in developed nations. In the

In China, people aged over 65 constituted 5.5% of the population in 1990; by 2025, this will increase to 13.3% of the total population; and by 2050, the population aged 65 years and older will exceed 114 million and account for 23% of the total population, making China one of the most aged societies (Woo et al., 2002). The population is ageing dramatically in most societies including developing countries is the result of declining fertility and mortality (Lutz et al. 2008). In China, between 1950 and 2015, the overall fertility rate per woman declined from 6.11 to 1.66 due to the one child policy in 1979. In terms of mortality, the total mortality rate decline from 22.2 to 7.2 per 10,000 population over the same time, contributing to a steady rise in life expectancy (WHO, 2015). Life expectancy at birth has risen from 44.6 years in 1950 to 75.3 years in 2015, and is likely to be at 80 years by 2050 (UNDESA, 2013a).

Nowadays, people with the invention of modern science and technology, are more devoted to humanity, but the effect it has, has little impact on the environment such as air pollution, water pollution, light pollution and noise pollution… man himself is quietly changing the climate without knowing all the impact mankind makes in everyday life. About 100 years of human impact on sensitive balance between the natural greenhouse effect and solar radiation has been researched and documented. Which lead to the change in the concentration of greenhouse gases over the past 100 years.
