It is a phenomenon which has seasonal changes over a long period in terms of growing accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. It had in particular a change apparent from the mid to late 20 th century onwards. According to recent studies ; actions made by humans can have an important role in climate change and currently , they have contributed to an increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere ,which has led to global warming.]]> 2019-04-11 20:29:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sahanfatih/climate_change/wish/350964723 Causes of climate change muratsungunapsan https://padlet.com/sahanfatih/climate_change/wish/351105491 For hundreds of million of years the Earth's temperature has been influenced by continental shifts. And one of the biggest reason for climate change is the human. We know humans are resonsible for climate change and we can see it today for example; humans are burning fossil fuels which release huge amounts of carbon pollution and which trap more and more heat in the atmosphere. We can say that humans are the primary reason we see our climate changing today.

But, the most significant factor is CO2 as mass of CO2 is also the measurement of how much do the greenhouse gases effect the atmosphere. 
How do we reduce our carbon footprints? What can the goverments or individuals do to postpone the doom of our planet?
  1. Recycling even more?
  2. Using public transportation?
  3. Using renewable energy sources?
  4. Using special filters for the factories and workshops?
  5. Quitting cigarattes?
First of all, we must be well-aware of the consequences of the carbon amount per individual releases to the air. Thinking of the future and generations to come, I cannot bear the thought of leaving an uninhabitable planet to my descents.

Either way there is no or little harm to the greenhouse effect and the ecosystem itself. Countries with potential high solar energy or hydropower should be the pioneers in using renewable alternative energy other then relying on fossil fuel based energy sources.

Many of these gases occur naturally, but human activity is increasing the concentrations of some of them in the atmosphere, in particular:

  • carbon dioxide (CO2)
  • methane
  • nitrous oxide
  • fluorinated gases

CO2 is the greenhouse gas most commonly produced by human activities.

]]> 2019-04-13 20:46:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sahanfatih/climate_change/wish/351406802 Solar Irradiance eceozer https://padlet.com/sahanfatih/climate_change/wish/351407543 It's reasonable to assume that changes in the Sun's energy output would cause the climate to change, since the Sun is the fundamental source of energy that drives our climate system.
Studies show that solar variability has played a role in past climate changes. For example, a decrease in solar activity coupled with an increase in volcanic activity is thought to have helped trigger the Little Ice Age between approximately 1650 and 1850, when Greenland cooled from 1410 to the 1720s and glaciers advanced in the Alps.
But there are some evidence against this assumption:
  • Since 1750, the average amount of energy coming from the Sun either remained constant or increased slightly.
  • If the warming were caused by a more active Sun, then scientists would expect to see warmer temperatures in all layers of the atmosphere. Instead, they have observed a cooling in the upper atmosphere, and a warming at the surface and in the lower parts of the atmosphere. That's because greenhouse gases are trapping heat in the lower atmosphere.
  • Climate models that include solar irradiance changes can’t reproduce the observed temperature trend over the past century or more without including a rise in greenhouse gases.

Improved agricultural practices along with paper recycling and forest management—balancing the amount of wood taken out with the amount of new trees growing—could quickly eliminate this significant chunk of emissions.

And when purchasing wood products, such as furniture or flooring, buy used goods or, failing that, wood certified to have been sustainably harvested. The Amazon and other forests are not just the lungs of the earth, they may also be humanity's best short-term hope for limiting climate change.

Climate change is having serious impacts on the world’s water systems through more flooding and droughts. Warmer air can hold a higher water content, which makes rainfall patterns more extreme.

Rivers and lakes supply drinking water for people and animals and are a vital resource for farming and industry. Freshwater environments around the world are already under excessive pressure from drainage, dredging, damming, pollution, extraction, silting and invasive species. Climate change only exacerbates the problem and makes this worse. Extremes of drought and flooding will become more common, causing displacement and conflict.

Consumption of pork,  milk and eggs will also need to decline sharply.
