It is not an exaggeration to say that Hurricane Katrina represents one of the deadliest hurricanes in U.S. history. At least 1,833 are reported to have died or gone missing as an outcome of the hurricane, which was formed on August 23, 2005. According to official records, nearly one million...
Although the Industrial Revolution was one of the most important developments in nearly every field of human knowledge, it did not come without a price. As the mass industrialization of the earth requires a staggering amount of resources, these resources continue to be extracted and spent at an accelerated rate....
The scientific evidence for humans accelerating climate change through the emission of greenhouse gases is strong (Wu, Lu, Zhou, Chen, and Xu, 2016; Norris, Allen, Evan, Zelinka, O’dell, and Klein, 2016). The impacts of climate change include the observable increase in rate of ice caps melting, rising ocean levels, stronger...
CQ Researcher: Climate Change: Is tougher action needed to slow rising temperatures?Clemmitt’s article reviews the seriousness of climate change and the irreversibility of the impacts of carbon emissions in light of actions taken by governments around the world, and finds their efforts to be lacking in terms of the possible...
Today global warming is one of the most challenging environmental difficulties experienced across the world. It threatens the health and wellbeing of the global inhabitants and global economies. As a result of global warming, we are currently experiencing intense heat and storms across the world. Along these whether changes experienced...
According to Rahul Kakkara, global warming is steady rise in the temperatures of the earth surface including ice caps and oceans largely attributed increasing levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that the temperature of the earth’s surface has increased by...
Global warming is the slight increase in earth temperatures which includes its atmosphere and the temperature of the oceans as well. This rise in global temperatures is said to be caused by some human activities that lead to emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These greenhouse gases include carbon...
Introduction A gradual increase in the average earth temperature as a result of an increase in greenhouse gas (carbon dioxide and methane) levels is a phenomenon referred to as global warming. The term global warming has been coined mostly by the press in arguments that have ended in some even...
The study of mass water flows or currents is critical to appreciating how heat energy is cycled between the earth’s atmosphere, landmasses, and water bodies. More than 70% of the world is covered by ocean, which in turn holds more than 95% of the world’s total water making oceans a...
