Urbanisation has been considered a long-standing enemy of forests. The population is growing at a rapid pace and the boundary of the cities are expanding and this is the reason why the requirement of land is increasing at a rapid pace leading to the clearing of forests. Urban population growth and industrialisation have been crucial…

For years scientists have debunked the claims of deniers, only for them to be rehashed again a few months later. Well no longer! With the help of Professor Mike Rogerson, senior lecturer in Earth System Science at the University of Hull, it’s time to explain things in simple black and white. Fake Claim 1: Climate…

For the past 21 years of my life, I have never once experienced a natural disaster. The reason for this is mainly because I am fortunate enough to be born in Singapore, where natural disasters are non-existent due to her special geographic position. In fact, Singapore is ranked 158 out of 172 countries being evaluated…

Introduction Recently, climate change and the impact it has on the mental and physical wellbeing of humans has become a prominent topic of discussion. This essay will detail how far climate change is negatively impacting human health across the world. I will illustrate how it is affecting a collection of areas of health; from respiratory…

In the Fourth Assessment Report of 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that evidence on global warming is undisputable and that it was beginning to impact natural systems. It further noted that cities with increasingly growing populations and energy demands, are both increasingly vulnerable victims as well as culprits of climate change…

There was a time where forests covered the earth, however as the human population grew and industrialized, the area forests covered decreased severely. The depletion of forests and trees is called deforestation. Deforestation is the cutting down or clearing of forests. It’s the action a human takes to remove forests from the planet, by their…

Every year we emit 6511 metric tonnes of carbon into Earth’s atmosphere. This would make the temperature of our cherished planet to increase significantly. If the global temperature rises by two degrees, mountain glaciers and mountain regions will start to see more landslides as the permafrost that held them together melts. This will also cause…

What is ocean warming? Ocean warming is induced by rising levels of greenhouse gases preventing heat radiated from the Earth’s surface from escaping as freely as it once did. The majority of the excess heat in the atmosphere is returned to the ocean. Since the 1970s, the oceans have absorbed over 93 per cent of…

Documentative films provide evidentiary support on information from visuals and language that are factually based on real events or individual subjects. The cognizant awareness of climate change is increasing substantially both locally and universally, with science providing evidence of the increasing temperature, melting glaciers and ice caps, and dramatic biological temperature changes within rainforests and…

Climate change has been a controversial topic over the years, but at the same time, there is no denying that it is occurring at this very moment. There are countless contributors to the reason why the stability of our climate is off the charts within the last few decades. Some contributors include the emissions from…
