A Study on the Case of Global Warming and Climate Change
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Global warming has become familiar to many people as one of the most important environmental issues of our day. Associated with this warming are changes of climate. The basic science of the greenhouse effect that leads to the warming is well understood. Global warming is a phrase that refers to the effect on the climate of human activities, in particular the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) and large scale deforestation, which cause emissions to the atmosphere of large amounts of greenhouse gases of which the most important is carbon dioxide. Such gases absorb infrared radiation emitted by the earth’s surface and act as blankets over the surface keeping it warmer than it would otherwise be. Climate is the average weather conditions experienced in a particular place over a long period. Turkey is one of the sensitive areas to climate variation in the world. Many of the likely characteristics of the resulting changes in climate (such as more frequent heat waves, increases in rainfall, increase in frequency and intensity of many extreme climate events) can be identified. Adaptation to the inevitable impacts and mitigation to reduce their magnitude are both necessary. International action is being taken by the world’s scientific and political communities. Because of the need for urgent action, the greatest challenge is to move rapidly to much increased energy efficiency and to non fossil fuel energy sources.
