What is a climate change sceptic?
A climate change skeptic is someone who believes one of the following: a. That the climate of the Earth is not changing at an unusually rapid rate, or b. That the climate is changing but people are not responsible for this situation.
Does nuclear or coal energy mostly contribute to the climate change?
Coal energy releases greenhouse gases when burnt, causing global warming. Nuclear power has very little effect on climate change.
Do wind energy contribute to climate change?
No, wind turbines are pollution free, and make no contribution to climate change. (Apart from carbon dioxide emissions from manufacture and installation, which are counterbalanced by the electricity of a few months of energy production.)
What type of energy do not contribute to climate change?
Renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass and biofuel) does not contribute carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to the atmosphere, unlike fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
What two natural processes also contribute to climate change?
El Nino Tectonic Plate movement - affects oceanic circulation (e.g Gulf Stream)
How does the depletion of the ozone layer contribute to climate change?
Depletion of ozone alters ecosystem. This then alters the climate change.
Why do climate scientists believe climate change is real and is of concern?
Climate scientists believe climate change is real and is of concern because they understand the science involved and the factors that contribute to the climate, what controls it, and what is happening that makes the climate change. They also see and understand how the climate is changing and why it is happening.
How human activities change the surface of the Earth?
Human activities change the surface of the Earth through climate change, and changing soil composition through application of fertilizers.
What is a climate change sceptic?
A climate change skeptic is someone who believes one of the following: a. That the climate of the Earth is not changing at an unusually rapid rate, or b. That the climate is changing but people are not responsible for this situation.
What advantage does nuclear power have over solar wind and hydroelectric?
It doesn't contribute to climate change (APEX)
How do humans contribute to climate change not including global warming?
Humans are contributing to global warming (by burning fossil fuel and cutting down forests) and global warming is CAUSING climate change.
What is the United nations position on climate change?
The United Nations has a special panel for Climate Change. "Global warming is being caused by the human activities of deforestation and burning fossil fuel."
Does nuclear or coal energy mostly contribute to the climate change?
Coal energy releases greenhouse gases when burnt, causing global warming. Nuclear power has very little effect on climate change.
Which of the following abiotic factors would likely affect humans directly?
Climate change
Do wind energy contribute to climate change?
No, wind turbines are pollution free, and make no contribution to climate change. (Apart from carbon dioxide emissions from manufacture and installation, which are counterbalanced by the electricity of a few months of energy production.)
Do you feel that there is popular consensus on whether human activities have caused global climate change?
Popular? No! Scientific? Yes!
What do people do to affect the environment in the Himalayas?
People in the Himalayas affect the environment in various ways. Some examples include deforestation for fuelwood and agriculture, overgrazing by livestock, pollution from tourism and industrial activities, and the construction of roads and infrastructure. These activities can contribute to biodiversity loss, soil erosion, water pollution, and climate change impacts in the region.
