    decades. Therefore, we must be cautious of the actions that we take right now, since the future of our planet is heavily dependent on it. Increased burning of fossil fuels and rising greenhouse gases have both boosted the rate of climate change to unprecedented lengths that we have never seen before. If we don’t reduce greenhouse gases, we will live in a world that is “anywhere from 1.8C (3.24F) warmer (low emissions scenario) to 4C (7.2F) warmer (high emissions scenario) by 2050.” (Freeman & Guzman 1545)

    environmental-responsible decisions depend on the decisions they made. Three basic environmental-friendly activities—recycling cups, encouraging personal tumblers and reducing greenhouse gas emission—show that it is possible for Starbucks to maintain or increase profits when encouraging personal tumblers reducing greenhouse gas emission but not for recycling cups. Thus, it is possible for Starbucks to make environmentally-responsible decisions that will provide positive spin-offs to society, but still

    tenths of a degree (Sandor 2004). This may not sound like much but it can have huge effects on the plant life, like trees blooming earlier which in return affects animal life and more (Sandor 2004). Global climate change is mainly caused by the greenhouse effect and human activity and the impacts will eventually lead to devastation unless the current solutions are implemented. In order to prove

    Burning of fossil fuels for electricity, heat and transportation is considered to be largest source of greenhouse gas emission. Therefore, I strongly agree with the study presented by “AAAS Board Statement on Climate Change”. Every year, there is an increase in population and when more people living, consequently the demand for energy and the production of waste are significant producers of greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change.

    The town’s natural resources must provide a source of food, shelter, and energy. Once the students have finished their town creations, we will hang them and have students explain them. Next, we will hand out greenhouse gas explanation sheets and go over some of the basic types of emissions, and discuss which ones might be produced by each town. This segment of our lesson is particularly important because it gets students thinking about how the actions of their

    the greenhouse effect has many natural causes. Others agree that the cause of the Earth’s increase in temperature is just part of a continuous cycle. These researchers argue that solar activity plays a huge role in the issue of global warming. Therefore, based upon the myth of the greenhouse effect, cyclical patterns, and research on solar activity, global warming is not a man-made dilemma. When greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere, similar to the way greenhouse panes

    continues a while longer at some level on a global scale. Climate change has already caused a series of environmental problems like global warming, which place a serious influence on sustainable development of human society (Demeritt, 2001). The industrial gas emission in developed countries is one of the main reasons that cause climate change. As a result, the international community makes a lot of efforts on slowing down the course of climate change. However, during the negotiation on environment problem

    The idea that the earths climate is consistently changing is widely accepted by nearly every scientist around the world due to sufficient evidence and long term weather trends backing this conclusion. Climate change can be noted by the several juristic changes that are currently occurring within nature. It is causing an intensification of natural disasters-such as hurricanes, floods, droughts, and many more-due to warmer temperatures allowing for more moisture to be held within the air. It also

    space but some is absorbed by greenhouse gasses which radiates the energy to create heat. Greenhouse gasses have been on this planet since it was formed, they keep life on Earth living. Without greenhouse gasses in our atmosphere the Earths temperature would be to cold for life to live on (climate kelpie 2016©). The greenhouse effect is a process that naturally warms the Earths surface. It makes the Earths climate warm enough for life to live on. The enhanced greenhouse effect is produced by humans
