Human Activities That Cause and Accelerate Climate Shift

Increasing sea levels, irregular temperatures, melting glaciers, extinction, of species, and warmer oceans are alone a few signs that worldwide climate is changing (global warming). This paper will follow the human activities that cause and accelerate climate shift. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration also known as NOAA explains that “climate is the ‘average weather’ over a period ranging from months to thousands or millions of years.” NOAA goes to define global warming as “a change in climate (for example, in temperature or precipitation) that takes place over a few decades or less, persists for at least a few decades, and causes significant disruptions in human and natural systems" (NOAA 1). Relishing excess greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere are leading to quick chance in climate and is harming plants, animals, and humans. Some consequences of the rapidly changing climate are life threatening- like severe heat waves, heavy rain, severe snowstorms and stronger hurricanes. In the 20th century, the last two decades were the hottest decades in last 400 years, and the warmest for many millennia. According to many climate experts the worst effects of global warming are still to come.

The human causes of global climate change have become well-established over the past decade (NOAA 1). Science 19th century, the industrial revolution, data shows that human activities have intensely contaminated the Earth’s atmosphere (Britannica 1). The continuous increase in carbon-dioxide (CO2) is predicted to contribute to major effects on the planet’s ecosystem: the experts predict that the Earth could be warm by an additional 7.2̊ Fahrenheit during the 21st century if we as a community does not decreaseemission by s...

...ing. Even there reliable sources of temperature data show no sign of global warming. “ Satellite readings of temperatures in the lower troposphere (an area scientist predict would immediately reflect and global warming) show no warming since readings began 23 years ago.”

Even though there are thousands of scientists who believes that the climate hasn’t changed at all in past two decades. But most of the world would disagree with them. Because there has been a lot of different in temperature and rising in sea level and they found that CO2, methane and greenhouse gases are the cause for global warming which is produced by humans. But We still have yet to discover all the events related to rapid climate shift, what level of environmental restoration will ultimately be needed, or how nations of the world will share the responsibility. At the end of the day the more
