For almost a quarter-century, the world has placed its faith in international agreements to address the threat of climate change. The reasoning is that a binding agreement is the best way to ensure that greenhouse gas emissions are capped at a level low enough to prevent dangerous climate change. The effort to set emissions limits…

The researcher has used the most appropriate research design that enables her to take a closer look at climate change skepticism. The researcher has been able to collect various sources by using a qualitative design that is explanatory in nature hence describing to the readers the behavior of who, what, where, when and how things…

Global warming (climate change) is a topic discussed worldwide. A long-term rise in the average temperature of the Earth’s climate system has shown negative effects in many environments and populations. In the article, Climate Change: How Do We Know? from The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), The current warming trend is of particular significance…

Climate change is known as a major problem that is long term in the world with massive and permanent ramifications. Over the years, the climate has changed drastically due to natural processes, but in the last 100 years, these changes have accelerated more than any such changes the planet has seen in the recorded history…

Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. These shifts may be natural, such as through variations in the solar cycle. But since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas. Burning fossil fuels generates greenhouse gas…

By living the way we do, our actions have caused climate change, which may not seem bad to us, but it has a huge effect on the oceans and the species that live in the oceans. Climate change is greatly affecting our oceanic creatures. Our actions are causing climate change at an alarming rate, which…

Glaciers are made of fallen snow that has compressed and thickened into large ice masses over hundreds of years. Some will move slowly in the water however, some can flow quickly, some traveling ten times faster than the normal rate of half a kilometre per year. They will grow and shrink in response to climate…

All lies. For years, scientists have claimed that climate change is upon us and that the global temperature of the earth is increasing. Many are concerned about the wellbeing of our planet. Gross. If President Trump doesnt believe in climate change, why should we? Why shouldnt we trust the man that is in charge of…

Ever since the mid-1980s, wildfires have been becoming an ever-increasing threat. Many have linked the increase to climate change and warming temperatures. For example, in late summer-fall of 2018, the Mendocino Complex Fire, which was actually two very close fires, broke numerous records in California. One of the fires, the Ranch Fire, burned a record…

Reporters and the majority of the population utilize the terms climate change and global warming interchangeably, but only about 25% are currently aware that each term has its own distinct definition. Not only are many unaware of the significant differences between the two terms, but several communities also misinterpret the causes and effects. Global warming…
