What are the causes and consequences of climate change? 3. What have been the global governance solutions to climate change? 4. Are these solutions likely to be successful? Why (not)? en-us 2021-06-15 08:43:40 UTC 2021-06-15 09:16:40 UTC hello@padlet.com jliu203 https://padlet.com/usictech/ucy0e090566zr6tv/wish/1607105853 Group 6
1.Climate differs from the weather in that it refers to the long-term or prevailing weather conditions in an area. Climate change is when the climate undergoes a dramatic change
2.This is because changes in the Sun and changes in the composition of the Earth's atmosphere lead to climate change.
3.
4.Effective international action on climate change will only be possible if solutions are found to address a range of obstacles to international cooperation. The most important of these obstacles are:
 
Conflict between collective interest and national interest
The tension between developed and developing countries
Economic barriers

Climate change is not only the most prominent global environmental issue, but it is also, some argue, the most urgent and important challenge currently confronting the international community.Climate change refers to the global environmental problems caused by the change of climate conditions in a long period of time. Originally, the most common concept was mainly global warming, but now it seems to include both natural and human-caused climate change. The UNFCCC defines climate change as three things: Global Warming, Ozone Depletion and Acid Deposition.

2. 
Cause: The temperature rises.
Consequences:  The sea level rises, the Arctic ice cap shrinks, and extreme weather occurs frequently in winter. The concentration of carbon dioxide increases.

3.The most significant international agreement on climate change was the Kyoto Protocol to the FCCC, negotiated in 1997.

4.Effective international action to tackle climate change will only occur if solutions are found to a series of obstacles to international cooperation. The most significant of these obstacles are the following:
 
Conflict between the collective good and national interests
Tensions between developed and developing states
Economic obstacles
Ideological obstacles

Climate change is not only the most prominent global environmental issue, but it is also ,some argue, the most urgent and important challenge currently confronting the international community.
2.Causes:Various developments.includes changes in the radiation output of the sun;changes in the Earth's attitude in relation to the sun;variations in the composition of the Earth's atmosphere.
Consequences:Have catastrophic implications for human welfare and the future of humankind.
3. The Intergovernmental panel on Climate Change.

Climate change includes global warming caused by human-induced greenhouse gas emissions and the resulting large-scale changes in weather patterns.
Climate change is not only the most prominent global issue, but, according to some, the most urgent and persistent challenge of our time.
2. Climate change is caused by a variety of developments: changes in the solar radiation output, changes in the attitude of the Earth with respect to the sun, changes in the composition of the Earth's atmosphere, etc.

2.The causes of climate change may be natural internal processes, external forces, or persistent man-made changes in atmospheric composition and land use.Climate change affects a variety of natural and biological systems, such as glacier retreat, permafrost melting, sea level rise, hurricanes, floods, snowstorms, droughts, forest fires and species extinction, as well as the extension of the growing season in middle and high latitudes, which affects species distribution and ecosystem vulnerability.
3.reformist ecology and radical ecology
4.Conflict between the collective(International) good and national (state) interests
Tensions between developed and developing/under-developed states
Economic (profitability) interests and concerns
Ideological obstacles

2.Humans are increasingly influencing the climate and the earth's temperature by burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests, and farming livestock. This adds enormous amounts of greenhouse gases to those naturally occurring in the atmosphere, increasing the greenhouse effect and global warming.

3.The United Nations plays a key role in global climate governance. For example, the establishment of the United Nations Environment Programme announced at the Conference on the Human Environment in 1972, and the establishment of the World Meteorological Organization in Vienna, Switzerland, in 1873 are the important impetus for the United Nations to carry out climate governance.]]> 2021-06-15 09:03:57 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/ucy0e090566zr6tv/wish/1607128062 Group 1 ywang655 https://padlet.com/usictech/ucy0e090566zr6tv/wish/1607130829 1.climate change refers to the long-term or prevailing weather conditions of an area is changing.
2.the causes:changes in the radiation output of the sun:changes in the earth's attitude in relation to the sun(as the earth's orbit alters from eliptical to circular and changes occur in its tilt and how it wobbles on its axis);variations in the composition of the earth's atmosphere,and so forth.climate change is also the result of human activity.
   The result: global warming
