Climate Change

Introduction

Climate Change has become a common occurrence that even a young ten-year old has an idea of what it is . Anyone can think that it is simply just a natural occurrence . Humans have set themselves apart from this so-called occurrence and yet suffer every inch of heat . Little that humans know that this climate change is what causes diseases that threats human life

This aims to seek what climate change is and more technically known as global warming . Global warming is the change of temperature caused by

the greenhouse effect because of increased green house concentrations in the atmosphere . The global climate change according to Eileen and Vicki Arroyo Cocharan is largely a result of human activities

This aims to find out the collective involvement effort of nation as significant factor in reducing the impact and continued danger of global warming to earth

Climate Change and the Global Warming

Based on the report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC ) a joint project of The World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environment Program , the surfaces of the land warm faster than the ocean . IPCC explains that our planet needs a balance between the sunlight energy and infrared energy to avoid excess heat . The infrared heat energy is the warm temperature generated by the warming of the land surface and it has to exude outside of the earth 's atmosphere (Gad-el-Hak , 2002 ,

However , man-made and other natural gases in the atmosphere , such as water vapor , carbon dioxide , and ozone trapped the infrared heat energy causes trouble for this harmful energy to get out of earth (Roberts Ingram , 2001 ,

. 43 . This is a natural process and is known as the greenhouse effect . Thus , the more carbon dioxide and other man made gases are emitted in to the atmosphere , the more it causes global warming that result to climate change

The Gradual Impact of Global Warming

According to the article published by the Global Climate Change entitled What do we Know about Global Climate Change , the evident effect of global warming is the high temperature will melt frozen water and land-based ice sheets and glaciers . Scientist fears that melting of land-based ice contributing to the rise of sea level . In effect flooding and sinking of many parts of the world

Bette Hileman and C N Washington cited that mountain glaciers elsewhere in the world are receding . Snow covers land areas that are now beginning to melt down . Since the 1900 , records show that sea levels have risen 10 to 20 centimeters

Furthermore , the increase of global warming have lead to intense warm climate that are causing severe droughts in Asia and Africa and even in some parts of Europe and the United States (Kumar , Sivakumar , Ndiang 'ui 2007 ,
