Human Impact on Climate

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the changing global climate and the human activities contributing thereto. The writer describes scientific research which can improve our ability to predict climate change and its impacts and provide a basis for mitigating the harmful effects of global climate change. This can be done through decreased human influences, technological advancement, and finding ways to adapt and become resilient to extreme events such as earthquakes and hurricanes. The paper concludes that future studies and technological advancements will pave the way for us to restore and repair our injured climate.

From the Paper:

"A great deal of scientific research has noted the harms to the environment caused by human activity. The majority of these harmful activities have had a profound impact on the overall climate. The climate of an area includes the temperature, weather, water levels, and overall air quality of an area. Human activity such as garbage dumping, urbanization and even artificial restoration of an area have contributed to negative climate patterns. In response to these harms, new plans for growth and expansion that have "environmentally friendly" goals have been initiated throughout the United States as well as other parts of the world."
