- Understanding Climate Change
By: Rangga Cipta Diputra | - Climate change can be defined as a change in climate variables, especially temperature and rainfall that occur gradually in a long period of time between 50 to 100 years. Besides it should be understood that the changes caused by human activity (anthropogenic), especially those related to fossil fuel consumption and over-land.
So the changes caused by natural factors, such as additional aerosols from volcanic eruptions, are not accounted for in terms of climate change. So the natura ...

By: Michelle Janosi | - As often is the case, less developed countries seem to get the bulk of the impact when it comes to negative world developments. The third world and climate change is no different.
By definition, climate change impacts the globe as a whole. That being said, is it possible to predict specific results in various regions of the world? While there is no definitive answer, the impact on third world countries in Asia and Africa has been the subject of much discussion. Let's take a look. ...

- Copenhagen At The Crossroads; Adaptation Or Mitigation?
By: Klaus H Hemsath | - The Copenhagen Climate Conference 2009 was intended to commit world governments to a common purpose and approach on reducing climate changes. Already before the meeting, it is becoming obvious that such an agreement cannot be reached. The reason is simple; the concept of the Kyoto Treaty is deeply flawed and more and more countries are urged by their citizens to find more effective and more agreeable provisions for a new treaty.
Such a worldwide pact must treat every country fairl ...

- Greenhouse Gases And Climate Change
By: Kevin long | - We all know that energy from the sun is required for sustaining life on earth. The outer atmosphere deflects approximately 30% of the sunlight that comes to the earth and this light is then scattered back in space. Remaining sunlight reaches the surface of the earth and gets reflected upwards in the form of slow moving energy known as infrared radiation. Greenhouse gases absorb the heat caused by the infrared radiation like CO2, water vapor, methane and ozone, due to which it becomes difficult f ...

By: Klaus H Hemsath | - Representatives of the 16 largest greenhouse gas emitting countries, who met in preparation of the upcoming Copenhagen Climate Conference 2009, concluded that they had settled on the architecture of an agreement in Copenhagen. They also admitted that a binding treaty was unlikely.
The problems in Copenhagen are proving once more that the concepts, which are the foundation of the Kyoto Protocol of 1997, are not suited for arresting continuing global warming and cannot be adapted to ...

- What's Changing In Climate Change?
By: Knight Pierce Hirst | - Scientists have discovered that nitrous oxide, produced mainly in agriculture, is harming the ozone layer more than synthetic chemicals are. Synthetic chemicals are being phased out by the Montreal Protocol treaty, but nitrous oxide is a natural part of the atmosphere. It is produced by microbes in soil; and when fed nitrogen fertilizer, the microbes produce even more of it. Although it's estimated that nitrous oxide will reduce the stratosphere's ozone 4% by the end of the century, nitrogen is ...

- What Term Is Correct:
By: Richard Ordway | - Let"s start with a peer review of the peer review definition that 130 countries unanimously voted on in 2007 (Intergovernmental panel on climate change- IPCC) and then move on to more literature.

According to the IPCC in a big box, "climate change" refers to any change in climate over time, whether due to natural variability or human. So this is an official definition as of 2007. In other words t ...

- Al Gore's Fight Against Climate Change
By: Neal Hamou | - By now you should be familiar with the name Al Gore - not only did he serve as Vice President from 1993 to 2001 under President Clinton, but he also ran for presidency in 2000 against George Bush; despite winning the popular vote he lost the election. Today however, Al Gore is primarily associated with another topic - and that is global warming. In fact, the younger generation may recognize the name mainly from the film "An Inconvenient Truth".

By: Catherine Moody | - The UK government is under attack by debt campaigners as well as developing countries, for their plan to give 800 million to poorer countries in preparation for climate change, as a great bulk of the money would be in the form of loans, not grants, and would be sent via the World Bank instead of the UN.

- Condensation, Clouds And Climate Changes
By: Clinton Maxwell. | - In a very basic way, the water vapor that makes up clouds is a major catalyst of weather change. Though we may not be able to see it, water vapor is there, throughout the earth's atmosphere. Almost all of it comes from evaporating water rising from the oceans. Ocean water is heated by the sun and when the liquid is changed to the lighter form, gas, it rises. This evaporation is one of the keys to starting climate changes.
Scientists recognized three basic processes in which an ...
