temperature and causing many changes that are not visibly noticeable. These changes are costing us our healthy planet and safer world because of the serious effects it has on the climate and our lives. The causes of global warming can be reduced by taking action and altering our life styles in several ways. Taking action to help minimize global warming will have a huge impact on the amount of man-made air pollution that is produced. Global warming is the reason for the warmer climate on Earth. “There are

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the effects of global warming on the weather, overall health, and on wildlife. Global Warming on Weather Patterns The increase in water temperatures in the ocean has generated more energy into what used to be normal tropical storms, causing them not only to be more frequent, but a lot stronger and sometimes very destructive

water. There’s been life in the oceans for about 3.45 billion years longer than there has been on the land. The oceans determine, to a vast degree the patterns of global and regional climate. The Oceans are the driving force of our weather and climate. Climate is what we expect. Weather is what we get. Climate change is affecting the temperature of the oceans. The composition of the atmosphere of earth is changing, and this is due to humans releasing a range of different greenhouse gases into the

facilities. They could also balance out the different power sources making it more even and not to worry about losing electricity. Also the other disadvantage of renewable energy sources is the reliability of supply,. The energy often relies on the weather for the power source that we use the hydro generators need rain to fill the damns which supply flowing water, the wind turbines need wind to make the blades go round and the solar collectors need clear skies and sunshine to collect heat and make electricity

planet has several apparent causes. In its 2001 report, the Intergovernmental Panel on climate change stated, there is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming over the last 50 years is attributed to human activities (http://www.ucsusa.org/global). Green House Gases Green house gases act as a blanket locking in heat emissions affecting the earth’s climate. Human acts such as; burning fossil fuels and energy for deforestation is large contributors

Climate Change Regulations Paper University of Phoenix SCI 362 April 2, 2012 Climate Change Regulations Climate change is an intricate comparison of numerous geological, atmospheric, and ecological sources. Often the viewpoint of climate change is distilled into an oversimplification of global warming. Global warming is mostly understood in lay terms as the warming of the earth due to the overproduction of greenhouse gasses. In reality, climate change is, “a measure of changes in the

increasing by 2/3 since 1980.[2] Global temperatures increase causing sea levels to rise drastically bringing changes to the amount and the pattern of our precipitation which then expands subtropical deserts.[3] In the Arctic, it is believed that Glaciers, permafrost and sea ice is believed to be caused by the warming. Some different types of heat waves could be droughts, heavy rain and changes in crop yields. From all around the world we continually see the degree in which warming varies.[4] If the

CLIMATE CHANGE Climate change is a substantial change in a regions average weather patterns including average temperature, precipitation, and wind. Global warming cause our ecosystem has been disrupted and the earth’s climate is currently changing at a record speed. Global warming make the temperature of earth is rising. This does not mean that earth will become tropical; but the climate will warming some places and cooling others. Greenhouse gases and other anthropogenic dark particles in our
