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.

The EPA's website contains information about research carried out by the US government regarding the environment. Here you will also find information about the increase in temperature of the planet and what we can do to help.

This article discusses the current EPA's lack of concern over the relationship between global warming and the intensity of Hurricane Harvey. The author details the relevance and predictability of climate science. As the temperatures over the years increase so will the severity of future hurricanes.

As much as we are busy and neglect our environment, the earth's temperature is still increasing at a very high rate. Global warming is real. We read a lot of articles and hear a lot of scientist saying how terrible the earth's atmosphere is right now but there is one thing I think we could do is that stop using plastic bags.

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.

This article talks about the facts and myths in relation to global warming. It is proven that the earth is steadily getting hotter. It also talks about how some think we as humans are causing Our own demise and heading for the end and how some think there may eventually be a small group of survivors

Arrhenius's theory being proven today is a very scary thing. It's inevitable that we will reach 1.5c tons, but how do we change our ways so drastically to stop is from reaching 2c tons? I propose we become aware of how much we consume and how what we consume is slowly taking its toll on our atmosphere.

Great site and lots of good information on a huge topic in the political arena these days.

This summary discusses the killing of the Great Barrier Reef at the hand of humans. Temperature increases are introducing coral reefs to disease and death from lack of algae. The Trump administration has cut funds severely to the Environmental Protection Agency and the Natural Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Talk of the U.S being withdrawn from the Paris climate deal have been discussed as well.

If the United States decides to pull out of the Paris climate deal, I believe that we will be to blame for the state our planet is in. Our country is driven by consumerism, causing mothers to follow in our footsteps. If we can step in the right direction toward a clean, green society, we can then start to tackle climate change.

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.

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.

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.

Global warming is causing so many different issues around the world. With rising temperatures, the air is being more polluted, more people are dying and the most important various animals habitats are disappearing.

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.

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.

This article provides information about how Arizonans can get the security they need for water availability. The text includes details on how ground water is managed as well as utilizing the Colorado river project to help with current water concerns.

I've been noticing how many people are sharing their concerns with water scarcity in Arizona, which is scary to think about. Any state that has hot, dry or humid weather is at high risk of this because of how much water is needed to survive in extreme temperatures. I appreciate the efforts described in the article about projects that are contributing to water scarcity in the nation and how to conserve as much as we can. Water is truly an under appreciated thing essential for the planet's survival.

This is about how the water security in Arizona is bad, and is in need of management of how we use water. The water in Arizona is told to be very much an important source for Arizona and is needed for our health.

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.

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.
