The planet is effected in many different ways by climate change.Weather is changed by the change in temperature.By fixing the amount of money that needs to be spent on the educational system, changing what kids learn in school, and allowing for new ways of think in school.In conclusion the effect of the youth on the nation is felt in a huge way and when we direct that effect towards something we can change it.It causes weather problems, health issues, wildlife, and glaciers and sea levels.

Thus, having already considered Singapore’s hot and humid climate before the trip, factoring in possible weather conditions that might be experienced, attractions and activities that can be found in Singapore is determined to be more important at the expense of weather.Although this study fully acknowledges the importance of climate to tourism, with weather being an important factor, survey results show the possibility that destinations may also be chosen in spite of the likely bad weather.In fact, although weather ranks second after attraction/activities, given only a choice, only about one quarter, specifically, 27% of the tourists chose weather to be the most important.Therefore, although climate and weather is one of the many factors...

Climate refers to the weather conditions that occur and prevail in particular regions over an extended period of time.Climate change is the change in the properties of the climate system, referring to significant changes in its mean state, and in its variability and extremes (VijayaVenkataRaman S, Iniyan S, Goic R, 2012).If only one solution was an option, mitigation would have enhanced global effectiveness and is closer to a ‘perfect’ solution, as it attempts to resolve the problem of climate change rather than just avoiding it and pushing it aside as if it is a non-issue.However, adaptation will usually be sought after rather than mitigation, as it solely benefits the individuals that implement the policy rather than the global communi...

However, while warm weather has led to the increase in production for some wine grapes, it might have an adverse effect on other varieties.As has been noted, different varieties of grapes thrive best under certain weather conditions.Some of the ways in which they can respond to climate change is by shifting to geographical locations that have conducive weather for grape production, using wine grape varieties that are suited for the new climatic conditions, and looking for more efficient ways to utilize the available water resources.While climate change mitigation strategies are preferable, adaptive actions may be necessary where the climate changes have already begun to affect wine production.Webb, L.B., Whetton, P.H., & Barlow, W.R.

Localized and/or immediate consequences, such as injury or stress resulting from more extreme weather events or degraded landscapes, may be perceived as direct, personal impacts of climate change (Kolbert, 2006).Psychologists have an ethical obligation to take immediate steps to minimize the psychological harm associated with climate change, to help to reduce global disparities in climate impacts, and to continually improve their climate-related interventions through coordinated programs of research and practice that draw on the rich diversity of psychologists’ skills and training.It is important to recognize that the severity of impacts is due not solely to extreme weather or other natural events following from global climate change but...

These strategies have proved successful in dealing with the impacts of climate change, as they reduce damage to assets and thus reduce the vulnerability of the urban poor to future extreme weather events.For example inhabitants in Esteli, replanted trees and plants, to reduce flood damage, while those living in Mombasa accessed weather forecasters which informed people of the occurrence of severe weather.Thus, adapting assets to climate change at the community level is effective for dealing with the impacts of climate change.Urban settlements in the developing world are beginning to face increasingly severe weather events as a result of climate change.In Mombasa, most of the bottom-up responses to weather events revolved around adapting ...
