According to the paper, the effects of climate change are increasingly felt in many parts around the world. Human life and activities are affected by weather and climate, and changes in climate affect man and animals, food production, water sources and health. Short-term changes in climate can be classified as normal weather conditions.
Read More…The term climate change has been used to mean the same as anthropogenic global warming. However, most extracts, environmental journals, and literature view global warming as a mere surface temperature increase with climate change encompassing global warming along with any other thing affected by the increase in greenhouse gas levels (Friedman, 17).

Read More…Essentially, environmental history can be defined as a discipline that seeks to record the cause and outcome of human interactions with the environment over the course of time. Human beings, by virtue of their lives, activities, and thoughts, create major impacts on their natural environment. This in turn bears different effects on their lives.

The city of London has been at the forefront of these efforts and can be said to be a role model. This is evidenced by the full support of its mayors into finding sustainable solutions.
Read More…The purpose of the study was to evaluate the impact of climate change on the population extinction of two species of checker spot butterflies. Precipitation data available was evaluated against the population simulations. The results indicated that the precipitation variability accelerated butterfly extinction by affecting the habitat and host plant growth cycle.
Read More…Some issues that are becoming very popular in regards to climate change are global warming, animal habitats, and natural disasters. The occurrence of these natural disasters has created media and political acknowledgment. Climate change is becoming a more widely known topic and is important in lessening the effects of climate change.
Read More…The article mentions that Anemone Buttercup only exists at mountain tops with very low temperatures. Climate change on the other hand increases the temperature causing the ice to melt and mountain tops to be warm. Therefore, impacting Anemone Buttercup negatively thus causing it to move to another position or extinction.
Read More…This paper tells that dangerous climatic change has many definitions and there is no specific definition. Dawson and Spannagle (2009) state that dangerous climatic change is the level beyond which climatic change surpasses the acceptable climatic change levels (limits) prescribed in Article 2 of United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) established in 1992.
Read More…The methodology for the research considered the review of literature materials such as books and journals that relate to the topic. Findings from these materials are used to present in the discussion to establish the impact of tourism on climate change. The keywords in the report are; international tourism and climate change.
Read More…This dangerous gas is consuming oxygen from earth’s air and turning it into various other harmful gases such as methane. As a consequence of this continuing process ozone layer is thickening; therefore, it does not allow ultraviolet radiation from the sun to leave the atmosphere, thus playing a significant role in causing global temperature to rise.
Read More…It makes use of two of the figures to carry out a healthy analysis of the terms and situations involved in the ocean and atmospheric interaction. Two of the studies have been carried out and findings under such are communicated this is done to give deep insight into the relationship of ocean and atmosphere and how such interactions affect the ocean.
