Climate change is the biggest global threat on population due to the many threats it
composes. These threats consist of both direct and indirect changes that happen all
around population on a daily basis. These continuous changes involve disease patterns,
water, food supply, vulnerability to shelter settlements, population migration change and
extreme climate events. Climate change is not considered a positive atmospheric change.
The author describes ecological, biotic and conservations changes, in which all play a
simultaneously, a chain of reaction happens. As climate change keeps rising, social and
ecological procedures need to be changed. If no action is taken towards this, the rise of
extinction in humans and animals will rise, this will then lead to catastrophic events that
will eventually lead society to make drastic decisions towards adjusting to new climate.

From the start of pre-historic age climate has been part of the earth. The start of climate
research goes as far as the 19th century, pre-history records show recorded evidence of
weather patterns. These patterns have maintained a consistency until human interaction
came about messing with nature. Now more updated patterns show a different outcome.
As extensive research is made on climate, facts are put down showing how different
activities affect weather. The author focuses as to why these patterns are affected

would oppose different patterns. But since and industrial revolution took place an evolution

The level of effect human effect has had in the weather has now been great enough for
updates every day. Advancements in technology have made this possible. The
concentration of the author is on why these advancements are not used to create a stable
climate, thats if its possible. A stable climate would create an easy weather prediction
with natural climate patters. The fact that human activity intervenes with climate changes
makes a stable climate almost impossible to be. As human activity is naturally a daily part
of life. Although perfection can not be met, a better control of toxicity can, which can lead

Past theories and uncoordinated data has led the author to ask why mans activity has been
a factor towards climate changes and civilization. Past records show inaccurate data on
weather patterns, in which the author has spent years analyzing, along with recording his
own research on climate. Evolution of machinery and technology caused a rise and demand

for fossil fuels to be used. Although the rise of machine has a positive industrial impact,
none of them were environmentally safe. This was only due to the inaccurate data and lack
of technology advancements that were sustained at the time of first development. The help
of better technological advances provided stats on how this evolution has affected our
atmosphere with pollution. Yet changes towards affecting the climate have not yet been

Climate change has been affected. The amount of human activity polluting and over
populating is causing the rise of carbon gases. The rise of carbon gases only promotes a
hotter weather. High levels of carbon with the mixture of hot temperatures will start
melting the ice caps in both the north and the south pole. This will only create a rise in
sea level, that will then create a chain of different weather events. Natural disasters will
become more normal as the seasons and weather temperatures began to change. Letcher
talks about the greenhouse effect and why it is a major concern. The greenhouse effect is
the specific name used by scientist to describe gases in the air. The lack of knowledge
between societys only shows the lack of carefulness we have towards our own
surrounding environment. Letcher states we get a lot of these greenhouse facts from
infra-red radiation satellite data. These satellites provide prerecorded information from
