If global climate change causes the global average temperature to rise, there will be less cold weather, and a greater probability of hot and record hot weather.From the selected articles, we can find that climate change will also increase the frequency of extreme weather events occur.The human actives influence the climate change, the climate change causes natural disasters.Indeed, many of the world’s extreme weather happened in these years, some astronomy, as well as El Nino, ocean circulation weather these have occurred.Authors look into the contribution of climate change to hydro-meteorological and climatological disasters and the health impacts of these events, and explore the reduction of climate change on both shorter and longer t...

National Climatic Data Center, 27 Mar.These higher temperature recordings are due to normal weather patterns according to scientists.Although there is an increase in global carbon emissions, the fact that climate measurements have been increasing since the beginning of the 20th century, long before society began using fossil fuels as an energy source in large amounts, illustrates the idea that “global warming” is actually just a normal, cyclical global weather phenomenon.“New Global Assessment Reveals Nearly 1,200 Proposed Coal-Fired Power Plants.” WRI Insights.World Resources Institute, 20 Nov. 2012.

Others believe in global warming and climate change, but don 't believe that people are responsible.One of the most important problems is crucial to focus on and it is climate change or “the greenhouse effect.” The greenhouse effect is a serious problem that is destroying the planet and its atmosphere.The small changes in temperature can cause a devastating effect on the planet 's climate and weather patterns.According to them, the data are being corrupted by the urban heat island, an effect produced by cities ' transportation, large amounts of heat-absorbing asphalt, and high concentrations of carbon dioxide coming from the many homes and businesses in high-population areas.What is climate change?

gives us a clear picture of what weather and climate are when they discussed that weather can be described as “day-to-day variations in our atmosphere” and are short-term in nature, while climate a long-term-average of weather, can be described as estimates made on compilations of weather statistics of a region which includes “daily, monthly and annual means, medians and variability of the weather data”.However, the study of climate gained more ground in the 15th century when explorers begun to search for new lands across the seas, seeking for gold, spices, and lands to conquer, meteorological instruments invented by Galileo (thermometer) and by Torricelli (barometer) enabled men to measure the state of climate in different places and ti...

According to Garnaut Climate Change Review, the number of days with extreme fire weather will be increase approximately 5% to 25% in 2013 (6).The projected changes of climate, effects of climate change on the Australian agriculture, effects of Australian agriculture on climate change, ways to lessen the effects by means of mitigation and adaptation will be discussed in detail later in this paper.This fact is being accentuated by Wall and Smit (2005) (4) who said that the main aspects in the success of agri-food sector are the weather and climate conditions.The climate impacts on agriculture are best being observed at local stage rather than at global stage because the impacts are more related to local climate.This is wrong since the clim...

Singapore must prove herself as a worthy destination with many alternative activities that is available for visitors facing extreme hot weather or sudden rainfall due to the changing climate.Tourists indicate that they would likely substitute beach tourism for other activities such as indoor sightseeing attractions within Sentosa which are not weather dependent.Despite acknowledging that climate is an important resource for tourism in Singapore, this study made an interesting finding that weather did not prove to be the ultimate choice affecting tourist’s decision to Sentosa.On the other hand, in the case of an increase in temperature or rainfall events which are highly unpredictable, it seems that tourists would more likely accept and p...

This species was then replaced by oak, which thrives in relatively cooler weather.This led to weather anomalies like seasonal extremes, storms, and extreme cold.The oscillations produced continuing anomalies on the weather in the region, that when looked upon a span of time, produced the little ice age.Just as the components that make up climate are capable of fluctuation, it would interesting to observe if long-term climate change can occur in a given region.Looking at a region’s climate gives an overall account of that region’s weather patterns.

Even with empirical data presented, there are skeptics who attribute climate change to natural causes rather than man-made causes.In relation to climate change, the global temperature is higher because the Earth is closer to the sun (35).As of recent years, global warming has made a significant impact on Earth (Weeks, “Climate Change” 523).These scientists postulate that climate change is “brought about by variable ‘forcings,’ a term for agents of climate change that are not themselves affected by climate” (qtd.People need to accept the presence of climate change, and they should do something to either fix it or decelerate the rate it is growing.

Well planned construction schedules are prepared to take advantage of favorableseasonal, local, or regional weather patterns and avoid the unfavorable ones.The inefficiencies can only be quantified by actual measurement of productivity in hot weather and then comparing with normal weather productivity.In the construction industry most of the contractors take careful note of variation in local and regional weather patterns, the norms andtrends, and based on these they schedule their construction projects.Thus, when a Project doesn’t start on time, or it gets delayed during the time of execution weather may become an all important factor in the overall delay, reducing planned productivity and efficiency.Hot weather and cold weather create ...

Meanwhile, Plummer (2000) argued that perspectives of combining ecological models and remotely sensed data would focus on the estimation of accuracy, the issues of spatial and temporal scale, and long-term comprehensive datasets.The main reason of application of fuzzy model is the pre-existing and inherent uncertainty in data.More effective methods for increase accuracy of assessment and analysis of remotely sensed data are applying models which can combine in data layers.Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are used to combine the layers of data in the modeling of drought.Recently, IPCC (the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) in Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) concluded that South Asia and the Middle East would experience sever,...

As one of the key compelling arguments to support climate change, including with extreme weather events and global temperature rise, the past and present evidence and future predictions for sea level rise are tied to both natural and human caused global warming.The potential catastrophic outcomes from sea level rise in relation to the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets and the large number of the population living in vulnerable areas presents many reasons for those that deny climate change to consider looking further into the research and data that is available.While the immediate issue at hand may be settling the dispute about accepting human causes and effects of and solutions for climate change, many also deny that the evidence for se...

As water availability and weather pattern changes, farmers have the only option of changing their agricultural patterns to adapt to the surroundings.The changing weather pattern should be analysed... After researching on this topic, I am very much concerned about the effects of climate change on agriculture.This is usually prevalent among farmers who have a low income as they do not have enough money to buy these chemicals and the abnormal weather conditions frequently lead to crop failures.Farmers should be made aware of this pattern so that they can plan their practices to match with the weather pattern to ensure greater yield and productivity.
