Overview: The environment is rapidly undergoing major transformations because of anthropogenic

Climate change is not a new concept. It has been mostly referred to as global warming in the past. As much as people would like to file this issue away as something to deal with at a later date, it simply cannot wait. This problem we face is costing us billions of dollars, forests and wildlife are being eliminated, and people are dying. Starting to sound like a big deal, right? Future generations will be affected the most. People who do not even exist will have to pay for what we, all people, have done to this earth. To begin to make changes, one must realize the severity of the issue. Bill Mckibben, author of “Recalculating the Climate Math,” conveys that “We’ve already raised the world’s temperature by one degree—enough to melt almost half the ice in the Arctic, kill off huge swaths of the world’s coral, and unleash lethal floods and drought. July and August tied for the hottest months ever recorded on our planet, and scientists think they were almost certainly the hottest in the history of human civilization” (Page 3 of 5). Global climate change is a serious problem because it increases natural disasters and is the cause of extreme weather.

Climate change is known as one of the greatest threats to the planet. It is not only a threat to the planet environmentally, but it is a threat socially and economically. As we all could feel, see, and know, the weather patterns globally and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have been increasing over an extended period of time. Although it may seem like it’s not a dramatic change since it is data from over a large amount of time, it is considering the fact that the large amount of time is not that large as it should be. Climate change is nothing new to us. It’s happened many years ago in the past because a variety of reasons but as the years go on, the rate on charts are just getting higher. As much as I would like to blame this predicament on nature, humans has a fault as well. We release thousands of greenhouse gases into the air through many procedures, but there are things that we cannot entirely control. However, whoever’s fault it is to blame I believe that if we work together and think we will more likely be able to find effective solutions for this problem.

Climate change is the most serious issue humankind is facing in the 21th century. Future generations depend on our ability to make the necessary social changes, before reaching the tipping point of irreversibility, which will lead the planet into a catastrophe incompatible with life.

In 2013, the Obama Administration issued the Climate Action Plan to focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 17 % reduction below 2005 levels by 2020. This plan’s three objectives were carbon reduction, strengthening capacity for climate change response, and leading international cooperation for climate change crisis (White House, 2013). To reduce the

Climate change is a problem that we have been and are currently experiencing. It has caused much damage to people and the environment, by temperatures rising and natural disasters. It is a problem that world leaders need to take more seriously, and try to get more people involved to help better the environment. Who knows what it can cause in the future. Climate change is a serious threat for everyone living on earth.

Climate change is a rising issue of importance in our day and age, and one that is threatening our global society on many levels. It has become a wicked problem throughout the years. A wicked problem does not have a definitive definition due to large uncertainties. Atmospheric and oceanic concentrations of climate change have been consistently rising over time, and threaten to have immense human wellbeing, scientific and economic impacts in the future if the globe neglects to achieve reasonable emission levels. There is no one solution for a wicked problem.

As the U.S becomes more industrialized, we have noticed severe changes not only in the economy but in the climate as well. Although change is inevitable, the most recent changes we will begin to notice more often in rising sea levels, melting ice and torrential downpours are fierce. Climate change is caused by a multitude of activities. Much of what happens in the future relies strictly on the actions and inactions of what we do now and later. Experiencing a multitude of different dramatic occurrence's, our Earth is suffering because of climate change. With these issues rapidly increasing, there have been organizations put into place in order to make life here on Earth more sustainable.

In conclusion, the human and physical factors are as important as each other in causing change, positively and negatively, in ecosystems. However within these categories there are some factors which are more important than others for example the physical factors which are essential for the growth of plants are more important than those which change rates of growth or the types of species which they cause to grow in different areas. Obviously the most important human factor

The grand challenge and global issue being addressed in this proposal is climate change. The impact climate change has created in the world is huge and the numbers recorded by various scientific organisations require the worlds immediate response. Average global temperature has increased by .85°C from 1880 to 2012 and that has resulted in the increase of global average sea level by 19 cm. About 50 percent increase has been recorded in the global carbon emissions only since 1990 and that has grown even more quickly between the years 2000 and 2010. Especially in Australia, the climate has warmed since 1950. The average surface temperature in the Australian continent has increased by 0.9°C since 1910. It is also important to notice the change

Today, climate change is affecting our lives and the world around us. However, many people would rather believe that nothing is wrong and that humans are not at fault for helping make the world what it is today. But there are still the few who do believe humans are at fault, and would like to do anything they can to help. The truth is, it is not too late to fix what we have done.

As human beings, you are difficult to distinguish between the unprecedented and the improbable. In our everyday experience, if something has never happened before, you are generally safe in assuming it is not going to happen in the future. It has never happened before, doesn’t mean it is not going to happen. Exceptions can kill you and this time climate change is one of those exceptions. It creates a growing danger for the ecosystem you are living in by damaging. Every day, facing to extinction due to the affection of environmental pollution. It led to many unpredictable consequences such as climate change, global warming, and dangerous diseases. Recent years mankind has always be threaten by natural calamity. It causes many disasters that can’t be imagined. They have to endure tremendous pain when it happens. They lost their family, what was more painful than that? Why these innocent people have to suffer this pain? Why it happened. And can it stop? The answer is yes. The only problem is raising people’s awareness of protecting environment. Hesitation can cause tragedy, take actions now. All the things that should be done to improve food, water, health, economic security, energy efficiency, even just a small action will help to limit and mitigate the anthropogenic component of climate change.

The three problems caused by climate change are; rise in sea level, varied energy demand, and water scarcity. Firstly, the impact on costal areas contributing to sea level rise has made low-lying cities vulnerable. Hunt and Watkiss (2011, p. 32) estimates that 50 m rise in sea level would render Mumbai’s ‘informal’ communities in despair. Moreover, climate change will lead to variation in energy demand. Hunt and Watkiss (2011, p. 33) explain even though winter heating will decrease due to warmer weather, cooling is anticipated to increase in the summer, increasing GHG emissions. Miller et al. (2007, cited in

Prior to the Paris Agreement, participating countries have submitted national plans that addressed their intentions for combatting the climate change after 2020 (Dimitrov 2016). These nationally determined contributions outlined a number of issues – all being relevant to adapting and coping with climate change challenge. Although these contributions are not final, they are representative of the intended climate actions that countries will pursue after 2020.

However, mitigating climate change and supporting socio-economic development is twofold challenge for developing countries (Wlokas et al., 2012). Varying regional circumstances and priorities have to be examined in order to mainstream climate change policies into sustainable development plans (IPCC, 2007). In addition, financial and technological resources from developed countries are necessary in order to have the capacity to transition to low-carbon development (IPCC, 2007). Development is

The environmental problem in India is escalating in parallel with the Indian economy. The rapid economic development in tandem with rapid growing of population is putting a strain on the environment, infrastructure, and the country’s natural resources. Domestic waste, Industrial pollution, soil erosion, deforestation, rapid industrialization, urbanization, and land degradation are all worsening problems in India. These problems are affecting the weather of the country therefore draught and deluge is common natural disaster. In 2011, India produces 31.6 gigatonnes (Gt) of carbon-dioxide from fossil-fuel combustion according to preliminary estimates from the International Energy Agency (IEA) (IMF, 2014).
