Global Climate Change
1. How is the greenhouse effect essential to life on earth?
Climate change happens when deviations in the Earth’s climate system translate to
new weather patterns that last for at least a few decades or many years. One of the principal
causes of global climate change is the "greenhouse effect." The heat emanating from the sun
is retained, thereby increasing temperatures of the earth. It is significant since it is essential to
the existence of life (Geographic, 2017). The “greenhouse effect” helps in regulating the heat
present in the atmosphere and ensures optimal conditions are attained (Kazmeyer, 2018).
2. Why is the current increase to the greenhouse a problem?
Greenhouse gases present have contributed to the warming of the planet.
Carbon(iv)oxide levels in the atmosphere have reached the highest record. These factors of
the greenhouse effect cause a warming effect on the Earth and contribute to change in
climate, which has impacts on meteorological conditions and well-being (Geographic, 2017).
3. Where is the water increasing sea level coming from?
There is an increase in the sea level as a result of melting of ice pieces, particularly in
Antarctica and Greenland. The melted ice is deposited in the sea. As a result, the sea level
gradually increases. Warmer temperatures are the main cause of the melting of the ice.
4. Is climate change simply warming worldwide? What are two other effects that
have an impact to living organisms?
Climate change is warming worldwide and has adverse effects on living organisms.
Warmer temperatures make meteorological conditions more thrilling by instigating more
prolonged and frequent dearth; adding to climate change's influences such as ...
