...Climate Essay Jessica Garnett October 5, 2015 Being an active listener in the workplace is very important. Actually making eye contact and waiting till the speaker is completely done before responding is one of the biggest steps. Keeping your focus on what the message is without being judgmental and placing your self- interest aside. A poor habit that many develop is faking your attention. When you have more on your mind than the interest of the speaker you act like your listening but really aren’t. In the workplace this practice is a definite downfall for productivity. Directions or information that needs passed on either does not or misunderstood. Even if the information does not pertain to you in general, it is always good to just stop what you are doing and listen. When you walk into a workplace and sat there looking lost and confused there is two types of climates you could encounter. A supportive relationship workplace and a defensive workplace environment. In a supportive environment, you will be welcomed and greeted warmly. Questions asked are answered honestly but friendly. Supportive climates worked together when problems arise they communicate with openness and honesty. They see each other as equals, no one person is believes they are better than another or feel that someone is superior to them. They work together as a unit and show empathy not only towards customers but also the fellow employees, not only in workplace situations but also in personal. They...

...77°37’E. The State of Kerala, named as “Gods own country” and the “Gateway of monsoon in India” is one of the unique regions in the humid tropical monsoon climates that enjoys high solar radiation and warm temperature round the year. The State has rich bio-diversity and tropical rain forests and is spread in 13 agro-ecological zones under the humid tropics. IPCC defines climate change as a change in the state of the climate that can be identified (e.g., using statistical tests) by changes in the mean and/or variability of its properties, and that persists for an extended period, typically decades or longer. It refers to any change in climate over time, whether due to natural variability or as a result of human activity.The climate change may be decline in rainfall, wetlands, land and ocean biodiversity, increase in temperature and sea level, floods and droughts, landslides, groundwater depletion and saline water intrusion, decline in forest area, frequent forest fires, unusual rains and hailstorms. It is believed that almost all the crops are likely to be under threat due to climate change/variability in the ensuing decades under the Humid Tropics. The threat from global warming and climate change could be seen in the form of decline in cropped area, production and productivity and quality of grains....

...Stedman 1 ! Jack Stedman February 15, 2015 Ms. Rindler Exploratory Essay Should we be worried about abrupt climate change and the resulting effects? Climate change is an issue that has been the talk of the last decade. It is an issue of great concern, and in my opinion there should be more news coverage and awareness of what is happening on our planet. In a study done by the China Center for Climate Change Communication (jointly established by the Research Center for Journalism and Social Development of Renmin University and Oxfam Hong Kong) where they called and surveyed 4,000 Chinese adults they reported that "93 percent of respondents say they know at least a little about climate change. 11 percent say they know a lot, 54 percent know something, and 28 percent know just a little about it. 7 percent have never heard of climate change"(Kim 319). Personally, I find this to be abysmal. I feel it should be educated in every school. In this essay, however, we will explore whether we have to be worried as to what is going to happen to our home planet, Earth. In the article, Storm Warnings: Extreme Weather Is a Product of Climate Change, from Scientific American, the author, John Carey, explores the effects that climate change has had on our weather. John Carey is a freelance science writer and editor. He was the senior correspondent for Business Week magazine for 20 years. This article is the first part of a three-part series, and Carey goes on to explain that in the past few years...

...Climate change is a change in the related to studying numbers distribution of weather patterns when that change remains for a long time (i.e., at least 20 years to millions of years).Climate change may refer to a change in average weather conditions, or in the time difference/different version of weather around longer-term average conditions (i.e., more or fewer extreme weather events). Climate change is caused by factors such as biotic processes, differences/different versions in solar radiation received by Earth, plate the study of Earth's surface plate movement, and volcano-related sudden explosive shooting up and out of matters. Certain human activities have also been identified as significant causes of recent climate change, often referred...

...discussion on the issues of wars in the middle east, tensions in the 38th parallel, new viruses infecting people at different corners of the world, the iPhone and the Facebook. Of all the issues that have taken center stage of debate worldwide in recent decades, one issue, ‘Global Climate Change’, stands apart from all the rest; the reason being the sheer magnitude of the consequences it can have. There is no greater substantial threat to the earth that we know today, than the climate change. Though there is some debate on the theory of global climate change being driven by our civilization, there are enough evidences that prove it’s not only too late to question its reality but it might already be too late to reverse...

...Climate change has only been a major issue for a few decades, but has quickly become one of the most important problems facing the world today. Many solutions have been proposed including renewable energy usage and decreasing carbon emissions. The latest solutions are pushing the boundaries of modern science to the extreme to come up with a way to remove the CO2 that has already been emitted as we approach a “point of no return.” Scientist around the world are rushing to come up with a way to take CO2 out of the atmosphere and turn it into a useful fuel. The most recent development involves using sunlight to create electricity to split CO2 into CO and O2 and H2O into H2 and O2. Most of the leftover energy is then used to heat the CO2 and...

...this contoctic effects changing drastic effects in the mathematicaldistribution of patterns over time of ranging from years to years. The historical backgroung of the scientific invention of climate and climate change began in start of 19th century when ice ages and other natural changes in paleoclimate were first suspected and the natural greenhouse effect first identified. (Neumann, 1985). In second half of 19th century, scientists first argued that human emissions of greenhouse gases could change the climate. Many other theories of climate change were advanced, involving forces from volcanism to solar variation. A brief History on the negotiations for climate change are discussed below. 1960 - Human population reaches three billion. (Chamberlin, 1899) it’s a minute...

...A full-fledged climate war is brewing on the horizons of human civilization; one that pays no regards to political borders neither to the conceited significance humans place on wealth and power. To the world's dismay, there will be no negotiations and no avoidance of its consequences. Guided by the means of industrial revolution, humans are extruding a catastrophic level of fossil fuel born greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, enough to instigate dramatic disruptions in meteorological and climate patterns. However, the situation is exceptionally far greater in complication. This global epidemic has saturated the Earth with geological disasters, whether it be the scorching wildfires of Northern California or the wrath of Hurricane Irma, climate change has strong, even direct ties to these devastations. Additionally, climate change...

...We all live on this Earth, it’s all of our jobs to care for it, but the current level of progress we are making on reducing fossil fuel emissions is remarkably embarrassing. No matter how much faith I place in younger generations, the current divisiveness of this issue has left me far from hopeful for the future. The fact that climate change has become a partisan issue is the number one thing preventing change from occurring, in my eyes. According to Regan Patrick’s The Politics of Global Climate Change, the rate of Republican concern for global warming is hardly increasing, no matter what age they are. (Regan, 2015) I can only hope that the voices of opposers of burning fossil fuels grow loud enough that those who support the burning of fossil...

...Anthropomorphic Climate Change is highly exaggerated, and the effects that we have on weather patterns, is negligible. The carbon-dioxide concentration in Earth's atmosphere, has a concentration of 400 parts-per-million. Carbon Dioxide, in minute numbers, cannot trap much heat at all. Climate change does occur, but naturalistically, and over the course of thousands, if not millions, of years. 50,000 years ago, ice measuring around one mile high covered most of the Northern Hemisphere, before most of it had melted. Roughly 1,000 years ago, there was a major warming period, to where the climate was warm enough that there are records of vineyards growing in England. A few hundred years later, would be known as the Little Ice Age, as temperatures were cooler than they were today. I would also argue...

...What is climate change? Climate change, or global warming, is the gradual increase of the temperature of the earth. Climate change has been a topic that has been talked about for awhile now. If it is happening, if it is not, if humans cause it, and if it is happening naturally. Humans could be causing it by the many things we do, but the earth could be going through natural cycles which is causing climate change. There is evidence to support all of these arguments. Even scientists are having arguments about whether it is occuring or not. It’s weird to think that so many people, like scientists, disagree on one thing. Some people think that climate change is caused by humans. Some ways humans can cause climate change is by deforestation, burning fossil fuel, driving cars, even breathing. Of course breathing isn’t the biggest contributors to climate change but it contributes some. And then some people think that climate change is happening naturally. Things that would cause this would be volcanoes, and some of the natural cycles that the earth goes through could cause climate change. Then, there are people who think that climate change is not happening. I am going to tell you everything that you should know about climate change. There is a lot of evidence that shows climate change is happening yet some people still believe that it is not happening....

...Climate change is a modern fact of science that can not be denied. It is slowly shifting and changing the environment around us and we are not merely innocent bystanders to the whole affair. California’s as well the world’s dependence upon fossil fuels, largely oil and natural gas has only contributed to the increase in carbon in the atmosphere hastening climate change and its effects. It is with this knowledge that therefore California must look towards means of alleviating its contributions to climate change as well as fighting it. The state of California along with the entire United States of America, must shift from the dependence on fossil fuel and non-renewable energy to renewable energy sources by the year 2050 to deal with the...

...“Global Warming is not a prediction; it is happening,” said James Hansen, who is professor directing the program on Climate Science, Awareness, and Solutions of the Earth Institute at Columbia University. Global climate change is the rise in the overall temperature of the Earth's climate. As the temperature rises, the glaciers would melt faster, causing sea levels to rise. In addition to that, some scientist expect that the weather patterns may become more severe. There are many effects of global climate change. Global climate change is a progressive increase in the total temperature of the Earth's atmosphere generally associated with the greenhouse effect caused by enlarged levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants....

...Climate change is refers to the rise in average surface temperatures on earth, mostly due to the burning of the fossil fuels such as oil and coal, which emits greenhouse gases into the atmosphere which are primarily carbon dioxide, water vapor, methane, nitrous oxide, and chlorofluorocarbons (#02). In addition, other human activities, such as agriculture and deforestation, also contribute to the growth of greenhouse gases that cause climate change (#01). According to this, many have make their own conclusions on how are humans responsible for climate change and whether or not it is a real thing. Some people think and guarantee that climate change is real and it is happening at least in part because of human activity. This people argue that in the last 100 years, carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere have risen from 290 parts per million (ppm) to 369 ppm, with strong evidence pointing to the burning of fossil fuels by humans as a primary cause of these increases (#03). Additionally, they say that in the future the earth’s climate is going to rise hugely over short periods of time, which will cause farming to be harder and consequently daily life and economy will be affected. Therefore, according to them a way to stop climate change, or at least to reduce it, is to stop the burning of fossil fuels. If this...
