Polluted air and steadily rising temperatures are linked to health effects ranging from increased heart attacks and strokes to the spread of infectious diseases and psychological trauma.
Human influence on climate change can be seen in the difference between the climate changes of the early Holocene and the present-day climate change. The Holocene is the most recent geological epoch. Early agriculture emerged in the early Holocene. With the advancement of tools, humans entered ...
When greenhouse gases are emitted into the atmosphere, they also include sulphate aerosols, which are fine solid particles that have the ability to block light. Greenhouse gases and carbon emissions may work to trap heat in the atmosphere, causing spikes in global temperatures, b...
By intruding into wild areas and exploiting wildlife, we are also giving pathogens such as the virus causing the covid-19 pandemicmore chances to make the jump into humans or domesticated animals.Warming is generally expected to make matters worse, for example by allowing disease-car...
One consequence of climate change is the migration of insects and animals to more hospitable climates. A more frightening involuntary mass migration has already begun: of humans from lands unable to support the growing of crops and from areas where rising sea levels are beginning to threaten ...
How are diseases linked to climate change? Rising temperatures may create environments conducive for the spread of certain types of pathogens and their vectors. For example, rising temperatures may increase the breeding rate of diseasevectors, such as mosquitoes, and the infectious agents they carry,...
While climate models have rapidly advanced in sophistication over recent decades, they lack dynamic representation of human behavior and social systems despite strong feedbacks between social processes and climate. The impacts of climate change alter perceptions of risk and emissions behavior that, in ...
Plait said there is a danger in talking about the moon-landing conspiracy and other clearly debunkedspace conspiracieslike it, such as vaccines causing autism or humans not being responsible for climate change. It's possible, he said, that by airing any of these debates, the media gives legiti...
Does he think humans are causing climate change? “My instinct is no.” Others declined to comment. They included Alan Riffel, the city manager, and Robert Roberson, a local Prius driver and executive director of the Plains Indians & Pioneers Museum. I get the sense that many people ...
3.(翻译划线部分)The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be to run an experiment with two identical Earths – one with human influence and one without.That obviously isn’t possible,and so most scientists are careful not to state human ...
