Climate change is something that is still under the microscope. Not all scientists agree that the earth’s climate is changing and even fewer can come to a consensus about what the impacts and effects of the warming of the earth will be. There are many different ways to look at climate change and many different indicators of climate change. According to NASA, “Climate change is a change in the usual weather found in a place. This could be a change in how much rain a place, usually gets in a year. Or it could be a change in a place's usual temperature for a month or season” (NASA) One of the main ways scientists identify global warming, is through the record of temperature. Some people call this into question, pointing to potential problems with …show more content…

He has referred to global warming as a “hoax”, while claiming he is “ not a big believer in man-made climate change”. While politicians currently in office such as President Trump refuse to recognize global warming and climate change, there is evidence proving the existence of changes in global surface temperature. Studies, and experiments have been conducted across the globe for years, collecting indisputable evidence showing the drastic change in the earth surface temperature. Not only has a significant amount of evidence been collected, the evidence that was collected holds accurate. According to NASA, “Just in the last 650,000 years there have been seven cycles of glacial advance and retreat, with the abrupt end of the last ice age about 7,000 years ago” . The end of the ice age was the first sign of the rise of the earth's surface temperature, since the end of the ice age the temperature continues to rise. To this day ice covering Antarctica, Greenland, and in mountain glaciers around the world continue to melt at a rapid pace. There is not only thermal evidence and increased water levels to prove that there is a sigingofact amount of glacial melting, there is photographic evidence of the decrease in volume of ice over the years. The decrease in the volume of the polar ice caps is not the only alarming evidence proving the rapid incline of the earth's surface
