Effects | Facts - Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet - 2 views

  •  
    This site goes over the many scientists studying climate change and its impact around the globe. The site also highlights the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and their efforts to predict the effects of climate change.

  •  
    Scientists predict the future effects of climate change according reports. Temperatures will continue to increase, and seasons will lengthen. There will be more frequent extreme weather and a rise in sea level.
  •  
    Climate change is too often ignored, I'm glad that NASA has ongoing updates about the situation. More people should be accessing this site in order to educate themselves.
  •  
    This is a great article it is also important to know that if we don't get on track it could be too late to reverse the damage. Also how deserts would become even worse wastelands and the weather would be too extreme on earth to be inhabitable.
  •  
    Using NASA as a source for climate change is great. This is a great web source for being able to quickly see what scientists are saying in active research.
  •  
    I found this article to be very informative on the effects of climate change. I was not aware that hurricanes would become worse and growing seasons increase.

We Don't Deny Harvey, So Why Deny Climate Change? - The New York Times - 2 views

  •  
    This article talks about how climate change is the reason for hurricane Harvey. Scientist predicted that this hurricane was going to happen. He also gives examples of climate change and the first steps to help it not to get worse.

    It honestly baffles me that people do not believe in climate change and global warming. We have tons of SCIENTISTS who work day in and day out to collect this type of data and are clearly the experts yet people like Trump want to say it's a "Chinese Hoax".. it makes absolutely no sense!!
  •  
    Climate change is an important issue that has an impact far outside the present. I thought the author made an interesting point at the beginning of his article, when he talked about how after 9-11 we found terror but when it comes to climate change people look the other way.
  •  
    Hurricane Harvey is one of the many signs that climate change is a threat to our planet. The article states that "last year was the third year in a row to set a record for highest global average surface temperature " and since then other studies and reports have only further proven these dacts.

Climate costs will strain Arizonans - 5 views

  •  
    This article points out key factors of Arizona's economy and how the climate will effect them. Water, crops, electricity, and heat related deaths are the main topics that are discussed in the article.

    I did not know how bad climate change was in Arizona, that is so sad to hear. Very eye opening, I'm glad the site discussed the repercussions that could follow. This site does a good job expressing the urgency of the change that needs to happen to fight the detrimental effects of climate change.
  •  
    This is unfortunate news for us who live in Arizona. I took a look at the site and read in further detail about how much of these things, that are in our daily lives, taken for granted. Spreading the message about this urgent issue is crucial for any type of substantial change to occur. I appreciate this site providing in depth analysis about the issue at hand. Hopefully more people will take this social issue more serious and help make a positive advancement to the cause.
  •  
    The climate costs is already a strain on Arizonans, the heat is very much devastating, and nobody wants to stay outside in the sun for too long. The website expresses the message that there needs to be something done to resist and fight back against climate change.
  •  
    The tone of the article is urgent and presents a fear in the reader by the emboldening of death tolls and seems to be biased. It does come from an organization based on environmental change, however the article does not instruct or offer resources to enact change for the better. Was the point of the article to inform readers with the intention of causing fear or was it to get the reader to look further into their organization.

We Don't Deny Harvey, So Why Deny Climate Change? - The New York Times - 3 views

  •  
    This article targets those who deny the existence of climate change, despite the fact that Texas is experiencing a hurricane. It explains the conditions needed in order for a hurricane to occur and relates them back to a rise in temperature over the years, which supports the realty that is climate change. The article discusses a fair amount of politics, suggesting a unity between parties in order to acknowledge and prepare for what nature has in store, as NASA had predicted a hurricane in Houston some time ago.
  •  
    This article is current and it really challenges the idea of climate change. It is scary to think that these hurricanes are going to get worse. It provides great points to how climate change is getting worse, and how it will continue to increase the amount of hurricanes.
  •  
    This article is very interesting. I can't help but think about how bad the other two hurricanes heading towards the U.S. and neighboring countries are going to be.

Climate Change - An Economic Issue? - 1 views

  •  
    Kathleen Maclay, the author, discusses the economic effect of climate change in the United States within the next 100 years using the information from a study published in the journal Science. The author states that climate change will make income inequality worse due to the mass migrations that will occur. The author recommends that politicians consider what is most important when making decisions about climate change and to remember that it will effect the economy of tomorrow.
  •  
    Mass migration is already happeningredients in today's world due to war. Would people begin to take population migration seriously if it happened in our country today because of climate change? Imagine if Hurricane Harvey had done worse damage and the city had decided to evacuate the affected cities, more people would have to had to migrate elsewhere.

    This article discusses the underlying issues of climate change. With a new report showing that the temperatures are looking to raise if the world does not come together to come up with a new plan to decrease the amounts of carbon dioxide being produced into the air. The article reports that all efforts to stop the rise is needed by everyone otherwise, the world is going to see worse droughts, fires, heat waves, etc.

    Climate Change is a huge issue and really needs to be resolved. We're fighting for the policies and we need to realize the impacts and be more sustainable, corporate, and save the planet. We only have one.

  •  
    Climate change is bigger than us, and very few realize that. We need to take action in order to save the earth! Climate change is affecting countries all over.
  •  
    I agree that climate change is a severe issue in today's world. Methods on reduction of contamination such as carbon dioxide and methane being released into our environment need to be enforced since pollutants like these play a huge factor in climate change.
  •  
    Human activity, especially greenhouse gas emissions, is considered the dominant cause of temperature increases.

NASA climate change and global warming - 4 views

  •  
    Nasa's website contains facts, articles, solutions and resources regarding climate change. The website displays current information on the front page as well as breaking news headlines regarding climate change.
  • ...1 more comment...
  •  
    Being a federal agency, it shocks me that many do not believe in climate change despite being presented with facts by NASA, itself. I like that the evidence portion of this site provides visuals to better understand and acknowledge the reality of climate change.
  •  
    The graphics in this article made it interesting and informative. The statistics on the increase in carbon dioxide levels since 1950 is astonishing. Discussions on global warming causes and remediation are necessary.
  •  
    In this article, the author explains the causes, effects and solutions to climate change in an interactive way. The website takes you to different diagrams so that you get a better understanding of the evidence.

Donald Trump and the Triumph of Climate Denial - 1 views

  •  
    Our progress with climate change risk being overturned. A lot of people including our president don't believe in the science of global warming.

  •  
    I am so desperate and angry that I wish Mother Nature did something to wake those people up. Maybe a massive earthquake or tsunami will show them how bad of the current state our planet is in.
  •  
    How do you explain the duality of scientific evidence logically pertaining to the results of meta studies both proving and disproving climate change effects and signs?
  •  
    dal2124240, you don't when it pertains to our newly elected administration.
  •  
    Again I will ask how do you personally explain the duality of scientific evidence? The last time I check the currently elected administration is not taking English 102 or 101, sharing fact based articles or an attempt there unto pertaining. How do you personally defend your argument against the duality of scientific research; That in the last 30 years the atmosphere over the Antarctic has repaired itself over 150,000,000 square miles despite the increase of carbon emissions?
  •  
    http://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/. Here you go Dalton. Now, may I ask where you got your "evidence based fact" from, and do you have anymore from any reputable sources?

Climate Change Allowing Vector-Borne Diseases To Spread With Ease. - 1 views

  •  
    This study evaluates how the warmer climate has allowed the Asian Tiger Mosquito to invade the Northern American continent with little setbacks as its breeding season is now more suitable due to climate change. Warmer temperatures for longer periods of time and more humidity has lead to an increase in the carrying capacity of the species which is known for its very high potential as a vector (something that helps spread an illness). The numbers of exposed Americans to this vector is expected to double within the century to nearly 60% of the population coming into contact with the new threat. This study also examines the new diseases that public health officials are preparing for as the new climate shows little promise of improving with the current public's attitude towards reform.
  •  
    I do think that this is a real problem that can be helped, but it wouldn't be an easy solution. It's important to figure out how to best keep our country safe.

  •  
    The article talks about how climate change is affecting the biodiversity all over the planet. It also explains that the oceans carbon dioxide is increasing due to the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. Their is also an increase of the ocean that is uninhabitable to marine life.
  •  
    This is a good article because it talks about how climate change is causing so many issues in our ecosystem and the oceans.

Climate Change and Mental Health Connections - 2 views

  •  
    Discussions about climate change and global warming occur on a regular basis these days, as it should. This article addresses the toll that climate change has on our mental health. This article has a lot of interesting information in it, and the points made in the illustration are very impactful.
  •  
    As our society continues to evolve, so does our perception of mental health. I'm glad to see that external factors such as these are getting attention as to how they may cause distress on our society's mental health.
  •  
    It's interesting because I have never really connected climate change and mental health. It makes sense when you think about it, how most people connect raining with depression and sunshine with happiness. A lot of factors go into maintaining mental health and our environment is definitely one of them.

    The article reviews recent news from Arizona government limiting water supply allotted to farmers for 2022 due to the record breaking low of the Colorado river and the status of the drought. It reviews climate changes effects on our western water supply from the Colorado River and Arizona's share of its percentage being cut by an agreement from the early 1900s. The water supply will force farmers into seeking more resourceful ways of farming from drought proof crop to reducing their growing area and crop types but ultimately demands a change in how the western states and Arizona source their water supply as it effects our food supply for the future.
  •  
    It is truly devastating how the drought is affecting the food supply and our farmers in Arizona, there is a need for better water management, and we need a lot more water in Arizona to survive in the intense heat.
  •  
    I can't imagine how a farmer feels. The colorado river needs a dramatic change.

Should climate change be added to the civil rights agenda? - 1 views

  •  
    The author of this piece suggests that we should view environmental issues such as climate change as another type of civil rights movement. She parallels events like Hurricane Katrina to inequalities that African-Americans still face today.
  •  
    This article proposes a great question. Climate change over time has caused many more natural disasters just like Hurricane Katrina; the latest example being given Hurricane Harvey. I feel like people are slowly starting to realize the problem at large.
