Climate ChangeGlobal Climate change is a term used to describe a gradual increase or change within the average
temperature of the earth’s atmosphere and its oceans. Global climate change is a rising issue in
today’s society. There are various factors as to why the climate is changing; the factors are both
human and natural. The human activities that cause climate change are burning fossil fuels,
driving cars, and deforestation. Human causes are widely discussed but nobody ever considers
the natural causes. Natural causes that contribute to global climate change are animal and plant
respiration, volcanic eruptions, and the melting of ice caps.
The new interest in climate change and national security has been a valuable warning about the
potential security consequences of global warming, but the proposed solutions that accompanied
recent efforts have emphasized broader climate policy rather than specific responses to security
threats. Because the links between climate change and national security are worthy of concern in
their own right, and because some significant climate change is inevitable, strategies that go
beyond long-run efforts to rein in greenhouse gas emissions are required. This report sharpens
the connections between climate change and national security and recommends specific policies
to address the security consequences of climate change for the United States.
Although human activity is the main cause we still need to consider the natural causes because
they are a huge factor when it comes to Global climate change. One natural effect of Global
climate change is through animal and plant respiration. When a plant or an animal dies their
bodies will decay into the ground. Once their bodies decay all of the C02 that was in their body
is released into the atmosphere and the ground. The plants and animals that are buried deep
underground will become fossil fuels millions of years later. Which is another leading cause of
global climate change when humans burn them. All the carbon dioxide released into the
atmosphere from the death of an animal or plant causes climate change.
Nothing is ever constant in the science of global warming. Scientists are always changing their
theories and models to fit the changing opinion that is climate change. Not one specific factor
can be used to describe climate change but rather an abundance of theories and ideas that we
might have about why the temperatures are changing the way that they are.
Before I fully researched global warming, I thought it was an event that was strictly caused by
humans. But from the information that was provided, you can see that that isn’t the case at all.
Natural causes of global climate change affect the earth in a very significant way. Although the
human causes of global climate change do outweigh the natural causes some scientists believe
that this is just a natural cooling and warming event that goes through.
