About Climate Change

What does the Oxford Dictionary say about it?

…A change in global or regional climate patterns, in particular a change 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.

How about that in simple language....

CLIMATE CHANGE is a long, decades or centuries based, change in the world's climate, primarily a change based upon an increase in the average atmospheric temperature.

What are the effects of climate change?

Climate Change is having very profound impacts on nearly every aspect of our environment, especially on the world-wide water system networks through increased flooding and ever-widening droughts. As the climate temperature rises, then air can store a higher water content, which logically then make rainfall amounts, as they move across the globe, more extreme. Rivers then wash away more soil into the oceans and lakes, creating pollution and destruction of our shores.

What are the major causes of climate change?

There are many causes of Climate Change, some natural while many other effects are caused by people and animals.

In fact, some sort or level of climate change has always happened on Earth, you can study this through geology and history but now, today, it is and increasing and ever-rapid rate and magnitude of climate change being observed worldwide. Due to recent human intervention, new gases in the atmosphere hold and block heat radiation from escaping our atmosphere.

The activity of people, across our globe, has through their choices and actions (since the industrial revolution), increased heat retention and also affected negatively surface temperatures in every nation. No one has escaped its effects. Industrial emissions as well as vehicle emissions have altered solar and infrared radiation. And lastly, deforestation has lessened the photosynthesis needed to balance the oxygen/carbon dioxide ratios PLUS as forests are destroyed the reflection of sunlight that was being absorbed and cooled is now being reflected hot back into the Atmosphere.

What is The Global Warming?-

What does the Oxford Dictionary say about it? Global Warming is a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased by levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other Pollutions. How about that in simple language... Global Warming is an effect to unusually rapid increases in Earth's average surface temperatures over the past 100 years mostly because of greenhouse gases release by humans and nature burning fossil and natural fuels. 1.What are the effects of Global Warming? Global Warming, the gradual heating of Earth's surface, oceans and atmosphere, is caused by mostly the activities of people, primarily because of the purposeful burning of fossil fuels that release carbon dioxide, vehicle exhausts, methane's and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Also, natural causes occurring by releases of smoke through forest fires and volcanic explosions. The effects ar...

What is Environmental Sustainability?

Human wellbeing is closely linked to the health of the environment. Around the world, 24% of deaths can be traced back to avoidable environmental factors, according to the World Health Organization. People need clean air to breathe, fresh water to drink, and places to live that are free of toxic substances and Hazards. As we begin to experience the long-term consequences of exponential industrial growth and energy use, we must act to reverse these effects and prevent further damage, ensuring we have healthy places to live for generation to come. For businesses, it means committing to environmentally sustainable practices to help build thriving communities and secure future growth potential. What Is Environmental Sustainability? Environmental Sustainability is the responsibility to conserve natural resources and protect global ecosystems to support health and wellbeing, now and in the future. Because so many decisions that impact the environment are not felt immediately, a key ...
