Climate Change Essay I claim that human activities, like emitting greenhouse gases, are causing global warming. Some scientists have decided that we, through the greenhouse effect, are causing global warming by burning oil, gas, and coal. The greenhouse effect helps to keep the Earth hot enough that it can sustain human life. Sunlight come down through the atmosphere, and then clouds reflect some of it off and back into space. Most of it is used to warm the planet. When the ground is warmed,...

Global climate change has positive and negative effects on marine and terrestrial ecosystems. The cause of global climate change is said to be because carbon dioxide is being emitted through the large scale burning of oil, coal and gas, with an additional contribution coming from clearing of tropical forests and woodlands which results in wildlife life destruction. The carbon dioxide traps heat from the sun in the earth's atmosphere and prevents it from being sent back out into space. The heat...

When we talk about the issue of climate change, what we are really concerned about is the global warming caused by human activities. In my opinion, Global warming is...

CLIMATE CHANGE Let’s first begin with “what is climate change?” – it is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods of decades to millions of years [1]. Climate change is caused by several factors [2]: * Internal forcing mechanism (Natural processes of the climate system itself) * Ocean variability * External forcing mechanism (A process that alters the balance of the climate system [3]) * Orbital variation * Solar...

Natural Causes of Climate Change The earth’s climate is influenced and changed through natural causes like volcanic eruptions, ocean current, the earth’s orbital changes and solar variations. Volcanic Eruptions When a volcano erupts it throws out large volumes of sulphur dioxide (SO2), water vapour, dust, and ash into the atmosphere. Large volumes of gases and ash can influence climatic patterns for years by increasing planetary reflectivity causing atmospheric cooling. Tiny particles called...
