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…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.
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.

Have the satellites failed to predict the massacre of innocent children, youth, and elderly caused by natural calamities? These incidents have indeed been caused by climate change, which in the past few years, has shown unpredictable patterns on planet Earth.
Read More…The global challenges of climate change are framed by and rooted in cultural habits and social institutions. While climate change poses a global impact, its intensification will demand the use of huge public expenditures for emergency aid. So, the social adaptations and solutions for this problem require insight and knowledge mostly from social sciences and humanities.
Read More…The relative impact of sustained climate change on vector-borne diseases is difficult to predict. It requires long-term studies that not only look at the effects of climate change but also at the contributions of other agents of global change such as increased trade and travel, demographic shifts, civil unrest, changes in land use, water availability, and other issues.
Read More…This research will begin with the statement that climate change is not a recent event. This phenomenon has occurred in previous generations, such as the Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum. This extraordinary event took place 55 million years ago, and it changed the earth’s surface as a result of a significant influx of CO2 in the atmosphere.
Read More…The author states that the smoke from mills, factories, electricity plants and other installations which emit green-house gases emissions are severely harming the natural weather pattern and system as well. Fuel combustion which normally takes place in cars and other motor vehicles is also causing damage to the natural environment.
Read More…According to NASA, human-induced activities have caused the earth to significantly get warmer over the past couple of years at a rate that could not have been imagined about 1,300 years ago. Industrial activities in particular have resulted in an increase in the levels of carbon dioxide from 280 to 379 parts per million over the past 150 years.
