Climate Change is Happening!
Randy Ross | Professor Pappoe | University of Texas at El Paso
Background
The effects of climate change are happening
even quicker then were original proposed.
The ice shelf is melting, the sea levels are
rising and temperatures global are rising
there are efforts that are changing the way
the world sees the climate. The world needs
to be more aware of the situation. If the
world is more aware then these programs
and efforts will be more successful.
Purpose
To inform people about the changing climate
and the effects that it is having on the world.
This is significant in that if we dont change the
way people live today there might not be a
world to live in for the future generations.
Materials
Materials and Methods
Used some research that I have already had
done.
Used a poll that was conducted
Used NASA and climate central
Scholarly articles
Research Questions
What is the significant evidence to support claims that
global warming and climate change is happening?
With Texas being a leader in producing oil, what has
Texas done to implement more renewable energy
sites?
With the push globally for renewable energy what
companies and cities in Texas are supporting the
push for renewable energy and what have they done?
What has the U.S. and Texas done as far as policies
to promote or to prolong the use of renewable
energy?
Results
The ice caps are melting which is making the sea level rise.
The world temperature is rising faster then it ever has in
history. The human interaction is making things worse,
humans are releasing more greenhouse gases now then
every before.
The sea level since has risen 3 inches in the last 20 years
with an average of 1/8 of an inch per year.
Since satellite records began in the late 1970s, Arctic sea
ice has disappeared at a rate of 13.4 percent per decade.
With that has exposed the Northwest Passage in which until
2007 was just hypothetical
Surface temperature rose at an average rate of about
0.17C (around 0.3 Fahrenheit) per decademore than
twice as fast as the 0.07C per decade increase observed
for the entire period of recorded observations (1880-2015). (

The use of fossil fuels to create energy cause emissions,
which increases pollution.
Deforestation removes large amounts of trees and plant life
that counteracts greenhouse emissions.
Conclusion
The Paris agreement is very beneficial for the world with an
global agreement that would be able to get everyone the
same information to prevent and slow down the climate
changing. The significance of this topic is that it effects
every living thing on this plant and without starting now it
bring the extinction of the world to closer
