An Analytic Review of “Climate Change, Coming Home” By: Cory Walker Sociology 111 Ivy Tech Community College November 24, 2013 We have been hearing about climate change for several decades now. How climate change will effect populations is addressed thoroughly in this article. The four main effects we will experience are food supply shortages, wide spreading diseases, weather extremes, and rising sea levels. Food supply will be affected because droughts and heat waves will

The weather is changing and the scientists discovered that the climate is changing too. The climate is the average weather over a period of time. Climate will not stop changing if the factors that impact on are happening. The climate change is defined as one of the environmental problem. The climate is change in the global level by the number of heat which enter to the system or the number of the heat which comes out of the system. The climate change will happen if the factors that change the amount

level to rise, and is expected to increase the intensity of extreme weather events and to change the amount and pattern of precipitation. Other effects of global warming include changes in agricultural yields, trade routes, glacier retreat, species extinctions and increases in the ranges of disease vectors. Remaining scientific uncertainties include the amount of warming expected in the future, and how warming and related changes will vary from region to region around the globe. There is ongoing

Global Warming “The Earth's climate has changed throughout history. Just in the last 650,000 years there have been seven cycles of glacial advance and retreat, with the abrupt end of the last ice age about 7,000 years ago marking the beginning of the modern climate era — and of human civilization. Most of these climate changes are attributed to very small variations in Earth’s orbit that change the amount of solar energy our planet receives.” (NASA.GOV) Going through the history in our planet’s

English 1A 28 April 2014 Climate Change Over the years, there has been scientific evidence that shows the dangerous effects of climate change. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, they define climate change as the change in global climate patterns that are increasingly apparent from the mid to late 20th century onwards and attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels. The evidence of climate change has become more apparent and

planet, Earth, has had its temperature changed a significant amount of times throughout history. These changes were due to receiving more or less sunlight from the shifts in the Earth’s orbit. However, scientists have found that over the past century another source has influenced the change of Earth’s temperature: mankind. Scientists from NASA’s Earth Observatory suggests that these significant changes are primarily due to the release of greenhouse gases as people burn fossil fuels, given the fact that

food insecurity. Climate change further exacerbates the threat of food insecurity. Food security situation in which all people, at all times, have physical, social and economic access to safe and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life. This depends on the availability, access and biological utilization of food. (World Food Summit 1996) Climate change refers to any significant change in the weather or distribution of weather events over an

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

global warming is among us and climate change is affecting the earth in a negative pattern. What many people are unsure about in regards to climate change include where it comes from, what the major implications could be if global warming is not addressed, as well as what we as humans living on planet earth can do to aide in creating a sustainable future. Through this article, with the help of experts, we will address all of these areas involved with today’s climate change. It is hard to pin point
