- Describe the scientific evidence that links human activities to climate change. It's important to know what to expect.arrow_forwardQ2: Stirling et al. (2008) reviewed a paper titled as: "Polar bears of western Hudson Bay and climate change: Are warming spring air temperatures the "ultimate" survival control factor?" by Dyck et al. and cited the papers that had analyzed the temperature from 7 weather stations in the Western Hudson Bay through a large period of time. Stirling et al. mentioned that Dyck et al. have not used the research works that recorded and analyzed data during a long period. What type of bias are Stirling et al. pointing out in their review?arrow_forwardExplain what it means when we say that Earth’s oceans are in hydrostatic equilibrium.

- CO2 and planetary warming: understanding Earth’s complicated atmosphere Mars has an atmospheric pressure of 6 mbar (compared with Earth atmosphere pressure of 1013 mbar), 96% of which is CO2. The average calculated temperature of Mars is -57°C, whereas the actual average temperature is -55°C so that the amount of warming due to CO2 is only 2°C. On the other hand, the average calculated temperature of Earth, with 0.4 mbar of CO2, is -19°C, whereas the actual average temperature is 15°C so that the amount of warming due to CO2 is 34°C, much greater than that on Mars, which has higher CO2 concentration. Explain how this is possible.arrow_forwardEddies- Describe the many ways that eddies might occur. Understand the distinction between warm-core and cold-core eddies. Learn how eddies contribute to the transfer of water masses and organisms. Understand how eddies may lead to varying patterns of convergence and divergence, which affects ocean production.arrow_forwardHi! PLEASE ANSWER IN C# and explain each step so I can understand please (: The last experts did not answer in C# (reject my question if you can't). The controversial issue of global warming has been widelypublicized by the film “An Inconvenient Truth,” featuring former Vice President Al Gore. Mr. Goreand a U.N. network of scientists, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, shared the 2007Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of “their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledgeabout man-made climate change.” Research both sides of the global warming issue online (you might want to search for phrases like “global warming skeptics”). Create a five-question multiplechoicequiz on global warming, each question having four possible answers (numbered 1–4). Be objectiveand try to fairly represent both sides of the issue. Next, write an application that administersthe quiz, calculates the number of correct answers (zero through five) and returns a message to theuser. If the user…arrow_forward
