Global Climate Change ~Evidence and Causes~

There are many positive reasons that climate change should be studied, observed and statistically analyzed. Our survival as a human race all depends upon our understanding of events leading up to where we currently stand in our planet Earth's climate status.

Climate is the idea of time and space patterns of precipitation, temperature, and wind. For example, temperature and precipitation differ across the United States. We should be studying climate and all the repercussions it can bring when overlooked, because it's the only way we will be able to fully realize that the world around us is constantly changing and shifting. The movement will bring a collective mindset to the problems at hand and get more people interested in joining and participating.

Climate change is a phenomenon that occurs when certain elements and monthly patterns are shifted and slowly alter in time. For example, a scenario where the winter months get increasingly warmer and warmer might be considered to be a form of climate change over time, and certain cases of monsoon rains occurring further and further south could be a form of climate change over a certain space or area.

Reasons we should study climate change and some of the things that climate can contribute to our environment and the world we lived in are as follows:

-Climate determines the type and location of human-managed ecosystems, such as agricultural farmlands.
-Climate affects the weathering of rock, the type of soil that forms, and the rate of soil formation.
-Climate helps to determine the quantity and quality of water available for human use.
-Climate determines the severity of droughts, storms, and floods.

Climate changes naturally on a range of timescales, from decades to centennials to millenniums and finally even longer than that, spanning closer to near ice ages. In this way, it is safe to assume that the next period of climate change is not going to be around for many more thousands of years, though at this point our interference might bring it a little bit closer than usual.



The amount of CO2 contained within the planet's atmosphere allows for the surface of the earth to absorb solar radiation, and go through a process of re-radiating it back as solar heat. This heat usually is able to be contained by the greenhouse gases such as CO2, making it harder for it to it to return back to space. The global temperature is altered depending on the state of the GHG in the atmosphere.
​Scientific models are used to analyze current data and predict future trends. The models accurately reflect the warming trends that have occurred in the last 30 years and demonstrate the human impact on climate change.

The greenhouse effect is a term for the phenomenon that is occurring on planet Earth as of right now. Officially, it is described as a process by which heat is trapped inside of a surface's atmosphere without being permitted to leave, much like the process would work in an actual greenhouse.

We cannot tell that humans are strictly the ones causing this increase in greenhouse gases. We can use constructed models to interact with the data that we have about what sort of environmental impact there has been in the past few years, but that alone might not be enough to prove that humans are involved; however, they show that the changes observed so far are consistent with human causes.

Although the models do not account for the ever-changing spectrum of climate, and can't be able to predict every single thing that they are able to do, scientists do consider the hidden complexities of climate, such as the effects that water vapor and cloud formation have on climate change, which over the last 50 years has been realized as a result of not only natural effects, but human-generated ones...

Conclusion
I believe that due to a recent transformation of current statuses and laws pertaining to the movement behind the reason isn't that of the moment, people will eventually have to start realize what climate change really means and how important it is to truly understand and take part in the discussion pertaining to it.
