The Climate Change - Causes, Consequences and Solutions

Pre-University Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Environmental Sciences - Climate and environmental protection, grade: 11 Pkt. (gut), , course: Grundkurs Englisch (Q1), language: English, abstract: In the following thesis, I will thoroughly analyse the climate change considering all aspects, such as the causes, the consequences and the measures of it. The question, whether the climate has actually changed in comparison to all previous centuries and whether its whole process also happens naturally, therefore by itself or is influenced by humans, has been preoccupying the experts for a while. Basically, the change in climate is measured by the global average surface temperature. It is subject to constant change with many fluctuations, whereupon various conclusions can be drawn. Nonetheless, it is a well-known fact that our planet is becoming increasingly warm globally, hence catastrophic proportions, in the form of frequent occurrences of extreme events e.g. droughts, floods, forest fires and storms, can be expected.
