Global climate change Annotated Bibliography

Climate changes present unexpected and unwanted weather patterns that affect both plants and animals in the environment. Most of the climatic changes have resulted from activities on land which lead to pollution and land degradation. Global warming has also resulted from climatic changes that have taken place in different parts of the world. However, climate changes comprise many other effects apart from global warming which affects the lives of flora and fauna. Some of the weather patterns experienced today show changes from the normal because they range from one extreme to the other. W. & Nuccitelli, D. Consensus on consensus: a synthesis of consensus estimates on human-caused global warming. Environmental Research Letters, 11(4), 048002. According to the article, scientists have come to a consensus that a large percentage of human beings are engaging in activities that result in climatic changes.

Climate change and society. Why the social sciences matter (pp. Palgrave Macmillan, London. The author argues that the society suffers from climate change which takes place in all parts of the world. The focus on the greenhouse effect forms a strong foundation for the argument presented on climate change and the effect that it has on people and all other living things. Climate change has led to the extinction of some species in the world. The article presents information which shows the effects that climate change has on flora and fauna and how it affects the natural habitat. When the environment is affected negatively by climate, there is a high probability that extinction will take place and make it hard for some species to reproduce and increase in number.

Most of the human activities, for example, have altered the habitat of most species so that some have become extinct because of the harsh climate change. The article presents important information on the need to conserve the environment and engage in activities that will not have a adverse impacts on the climate. , Arneth, A. & Neumann, K. Assessing agricultural risks of climate change in the 21st century in a globally gridded crop model intercomparison. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 111(9), 3268-3273. One of the major effects of climate change is an alteration in the agriculture sector. C. , Bocedi, G. , Hendry, A. P. , Mihoub, J. The authors urge people to ensure that their daily activities do not contribute to environmental degradation or pollution in some cases.
