human actions and climate change

Abstract Along a busy street , a bearded man looking like a prophet is ringing a medium-sized bronze bell in his right hand and holding a sign in his left hand which reads , The end is near ' Is humanity to blame or is it just an environmental phenomenon that is induced by nature ? The recent facts have shown that the increase in climate change is attributed to many human-induced advances and errors in society have created . Moreover , the progress and development of each society has been set in the forefront at the expense

of the environment . In this effect the policies that have been created to answer the problems of the environment have been ignored in the sidelines . This does not even account for the fact that the traditional ways of living that are detrimental to nature is not being addressed . This in turn is largely affecting the very values and actions each person has towards the environment . Therefore , let it be stated that the recent issue on climate change is human-induced

Human-Induced Climate Change

Asking what the cause of climate change is a basic thing to do Actually , from a scientific perspective , the recent change in climate or global warming is a global environmental phenomenon which is a result in the increase in the earth 's average temperature of the near-surface atmosphere and bodies of water (Smith Reynolds , 2005 ,

. 18 . This will then result in the alteration of agricultural yields , glacier retreat , reduced summer stream flows , species extinctions and increases in the range of disease vectors (Choi Fisher , 2003 ,

. 149 . There are still those who deny the existence of any hazardous effects that these phenomenon brings save for the obvious fact that it causes a rise in the sea levels and changes the patterns of precipitation all around the globe (Gregory Stouffer , 2002 ,

. 22 . It is even asserted that based on statistics , the temperature of the world with continue to rise even given the hypothetical scenario of stopping the emission of greenhouse gases because of the way people have been living (Haigh , 2003 ,

There are a lot of reasons why humans are responsible for the climate change . The greenhouse gases have been contributing a significant amount of damage that is drastically changing the world 's climate . The more people use technologies that are not environmentally friendly , the more the environment is hurt . The major greenhouse gas contributing end-user sectors are the industrial , transportation , residential , commercial and agricultural (U .S . Greenhouse Gas Reports . Major sources of an individual 's greenhouse gases include home heating and cooling electricity consumption , and transportation

Moreover , the pollution brought by cars and other heavy machineries such as equipments used in factories are making the atmosphere worse every minute . The fact is that in the United States , more than 90 of HYPERLINK "http /en .wikipedia .org /wiki /Greenhouse_gas " \o "Greenhouse gas " greenhouse gas emissions come from the combustion of fossil fuels (U .S . EPA . Combustion of fossil fuels also produces other air...
