Most of these regions are differentiated by altitude and/or proximity to coastlines. What is interesting is that one can move from the desert or beach to the snow covered alpine...

Although climate change is still controversial in some areas, it is accepted that the recent increases in greenhouse gas emissions have resulted in an overall increase in average temperatures. It also is apparent that the frequency of extreme climatic events (ECEs) has surged considerably during the last two decades of...

Though the issue of global climate change is still considered controversial and rejected by many people, scientists are very clear on the fact that global climate change is happening.

Abstract This research presents credible evidence that supports the existence of global warming. A graph by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration demonstrates that the earth’s temperature has rising faster than in 650,000 years. The effects of these changes are significant on the ecosystem and human populations. A second graphic...

Global warming is caused by the human activity. The greenhouse gases are responsible for the increase in the Earth’s temperature. Burning carbon based fuels is the main reason of the GHG occurrence and global warming as a result. The researchers all over the world investigate the effects of the GHGs...
