Warming ocean temperatures, rising sea levels and increasing CO 2 leavels are signs of global warming of climate change increase due to increased populations shrinking ozone layer Global climate change has the potential to threaten the world's finances mainly due to the fact that it is not cheap to fix the effects of global climate change it will take a lot of money to fix the climate change almost all economic centers are n the cities with rising sea levels climate change effects globally not locally

At this time in the Earth's history, scientists and others are very concerned about climate change. What is the best explanation for the Earth's changing climate? A. Carbon dioxide from car exhaust and other burning of fossil fuels is causing a greenhouse effect. B. Natural cycles that have occurred over and over during the Earth's history. C. An interglacial period in the current ice age accounts for rising temperatures and melting glaciers. D. Increasing global temperatures are causing carbon dioxide to be released from the world's oceans. E. As always in the Earth's history, many factors that are not completely understood are interacting to create climate.

Global Warming The increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a major cause of global warming. Using data obtained by Dr. Charles David Keeling, professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the average amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from 1958 through 2007 is approximated by $A(t)=0.010716 t^{2}+0.8212 t+313.4 \quad 1 \leq t \leq 50$ where $A(t)$ is measured in parts per million volume (ppmv) and $t$ in years with $t=1$ corresponding to the beginning of $1958 .$ Find the average amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from 1958 through 2007 .

Most experts agree that global climate change is already occurring and that global warming will increase rapidly in this century. Recent international negotiations, however, including a 2012 meeting in Doha, Qatar, have yet to reach a global consensus on how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Some countries have resisted taking action because a very few scientists and policymakers think that the warming trend may be just a random fluctuation and/or not related to human activities or that cutting $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ emissions would sacrifice economic growth. Do you think we need more evidence before taking action? Or is it better to act now to reduce $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ emissions? What are the possible costs and benefits of each of these two strategies?
