In this blog I am responding an assignment in
my ENG 101 composition class on climate change.
The assignment asked me to read two essays by essential people in the
global warming reader edited by Bill Mckibben. The air, the drinkable
water, nutritious food and all the things that make life possible in our planet
are being change by human actions. Not only is the inside of the planet being
affected, but the outside where we live as well. In agreement with G.S.
Callendar in The global warming reader by Mckibben which said
"...the increase in mean temperature, due to the artificial production of carbon
dioxide, is estimated to be at the rate of 0.003 degrees Celsius per year at
the present time" they are telling us that because of human made creation,
carbon dioxide has influence our planet temperatures. Over the past centuries
human population has increased in an alarming rate that keeps affecting the
earth. According to the IPCC , (the intergovernmental panel on climate change)
scientific opinion is that "Humans activities...are
modifying the concentration of atmospheric constituents...that absorb or
scatter radiant energy..." as a result of this, over the last fifty years
we have seen the biggest concentration of greenhouse gas which are accumulating
and causing air and ocean temperatures to rise. The earth is in trouble because
of peoples actions and unless we change our ways, temperatures will continue to
rise at an alarming rate.
aye Carolina , it's Elane shnaidman, i liked your blog it was very informative and there's a lot of facts but i don't really think the inside of the planet is heating up its more of the outside like remember that time when the professor should us that diagram with the planet and how co2 effects it , and how co2 is creating green house gas and how green house gases work, something like that. also it would be a good idea to give some ideas on how they would go about fixing up or going about restoring human population or even storing up co2.
