Where can one find the latest news on climate change?

Answer 1

The truth is that CO2 is a heat trapping, "greenhouse" gas, and that humans liberate about 30 billion tons of this gas into the atmosphere each year. The measured atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide has increased over the past six decades, commensurate with our rate of consumption of fossil fuels. In other words, humans are the primary contributors to measured climate change.

Answer 2

• All countries have agreed to try to keep their carbon emissions low enough to keep warming to less than 2 degrees Celsius in the Paris Agreement of 2015.
• Most countries' plans are not ambitious enough to come near this, but they have to report back on what's happening every five years, so they may be shamed into improving.
• The US is threatening to withdraw from the agreement.

Answer 3

Just help clean the world clean. You could pick up litter, clean the beach, put things in the recycling can... anything you think of that will help make our world a better place.

The above comment has nothing to do with global warming, but everything to do with being clean.

Global cooling and warming happens due to natural causes. It has however been proposed that humans may be influencing it.

The gas that everyone gets excited about is CO2, as it is a green house gas, traps heat close to the earth and doesn't let it back out.

Anything that emits Carbon dioxide is pounced on, by the global police and people are fined, or killed on the spot.

Scientists cannot really agree who is right, about man causing global warming.

Politicians love the idea, because they can control people worldwide and generate money, with scams like cap and trade.

Answer 4

2009 was the second hottest year on record. 2010 tied with 2005 as the hottest year on record. 2011 cooled off to only the 11th hottest year on record, but experts expect the next few years will likely again set new records, as humans continue pumping 30 billion tons of CO2 from fossil sources into the atmosphere.

Answer 5

Some cold countries will become warmer and will be able to grow more crops. A downside to this is that there will be millions of displaced persons moving from uninhabitable countries and looking for a new home.

Answer 6

There have been many papers written about global warming or climate change.

The basic facts are that some gasses (called Greenhouse gasses) are transparent to visible light but opaque to thermal or infra red energy. Hence they allow the passage of energy, in the form of visible light through the atmosphere but prevent the radiation of thermal energy back to space.

The consequence is that the earth has a slightly higher overall temperature.

The most hotly debated questions are the causes and production of these gasses.

Some say it is mostly produced my mans technology, others by natural events. There can be little doubt that both have an effect.

Vast amounts of money has been and is still being spent by those on each side of the argument

Answer 7

The United States Environmental Protection Agency is a noteworthy source of the latest news and developments in climate change. From the main website one is able to find out the current impact of climate change on the area where they reside or anywhere else in the United States. It also has mobile version of their website which allows full access to all available content on a smartphone or other mobile internet device.

Answer 8

An article about global warming will usually explain what it is, how it occurs, and some potential fixes. These articles are often published in scientific journals and news outlets.
