Climate Change/Global
Warming Reports
Climate
is theprevailing weather conditions (winds,
temperature, air pressure, humidity,
rain, sunshine, and cloudiness) of a
region or the earth over a long
period of time i.e. decades,
centuries and longer periods of
time.
Weather on the other hand is
the condition of a region or Earth
over a short period of time such as
days or weeks. The Earth's climate
changes over long periods of time
from periods of cold to periods of
heat. There of many causes of change
such as
The Earth's Orbit,
Green House Effect,
Human Activityand theSun's Energy
Climate Change
is the process by which the
Earth's Climate is making
changes do to human and
natural causes. Today we
face the likelihood of
dramatic modifications. The oceans are
warming, storms are getting
more frequent and more
intense. The poles are
melting. Animal extinction
has increased and has become
more profound.
"More than a million species
face extinction from
disappearing habitat
changing ecosystems and
acidifying oceans"

2007 Report, sea levels will
rice by 7-23 inches by the
end of this century..."Conserve Energy

"Allergies, asthma
and infectious disease
outbreaks will become more
common due to increased
growth of pollen-producing
ragweed, high levels of air
pollution and the spread of
conditions favorable to
pathogens and mosquitoes"

created to disseminate factual reports and sound commentary
on new developments in the world-wide scientific quest to
determine the climatic and biological consequences of the
ongoing rise in the air's CO2content.
