The human contribution of global warming is a part of the cause of the increase in temperature in a short span of time. Greenhouse warming is the gases that trap the heat …show more content…
There are many reasons that scientists believes so. Some of the examples are shifting ocean currents and eruption of volcanoes. The activities of erupting volcano may only last few days, but the dust particles that are released affect the climate for years by blocking the sun’s rays leading to a much cooler climate (Parks, Global Warming 17). Some of the scientists have given a reason of their own showing it is caused by nature. Even in this group, there are some scientists who still believe it is human’s way of living that causes most of it, “only in the past 150 years, however, have human actions actually begun markedly raising the carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere” (Parks, Global Warming 19). The overall argument comes to agree that humans bear the most …show more content…
The society has to be ready for that. The rising water is one of the problems that they have to prepare for. It is said that there are three stages of adaptations communities might take, first building coastal defenses such as dikes. Second is the building of flood proof structures and the use of floating agricultural systems. Third is building temporary seawalls and evacuating if necessary (Mann, Kump 149). Adapting to climate change is most important at this stage, because temperatures are already rising in a short span of time, adaption should be done before prevention methods. The second most problematic situation is managing water for floods and droughts. Around the world today population is rising, floods and droughts are increasing, and the demand for water is rising as well. All species need water, humans need water, plants and trees need water. Communities need a way to preserve water in this situation for everyone and everything. Professors Mann and Kump explains that, “adaptation procedures include the development of seawater desalination, the expansion of reservoirs and rainwater storage facilities, and improvements in water-use efficiency and agricultural irrigation practices” (150-151). This water management strategies will help the communities a whole lot to adapt to the situation. One of the other problem is food, the society needs to protect their food sources in
