coming decades will lead to irreversible climate change and alter the face of the planet. The earth as we know it is a unique planet composed of global masses of air‚ land and sea. Each body interacts with each other in unique physical and biochemical ways and minute changes in one mass can lead to irreversible changes to another. Climatology is that scientific endeavour that monitors climate systems to explain loss of polar ice. The variables impacting climate and polar ice and their delicate relative

On the other hand‚ people living out on the remote islands do not necessarily have the same consumer habits and desires‚ and are very happy to lead the life of a fisherman for example‚ just like their ancestors. Japan has four climates throughout the year. Hokkaido‚ the northern-most island‚ has a yearly average temperature of 8 degrees. The island is world-renowned for its ski resorts‚ with Niseko being the most famous. In 2007‚ 24‚000 foreign tourists visited the resort alone

Essay #1 Climate‚ Weather‚ and Meteorology are often used interchangeably‚ however they all mean very different things. Climate and Weather are very similar in that they are talking about the same things just at different times. Meteorology is nothing like these two it is much more. It uses both to make up itself. All of these terms fall under the same category of weather and how it is perceived whether it be current‚ over a period of time‚ or the study of both. Weather is something we all experience

This paper argues that climatic responsive design could directly be seen as significant architectural language for defining local architecture by research and design. The tropical principle illustrated an accurate prediction of controlling‚ filtering and responding to outdoor climate.

the early twenty-first century‚ fisheries generated billions of dollars globally with approximately 42 million people employed to catch fish and several hundred millions more working in related industries. Fisheries reinforced food security when climate changes caused shortages of other agricultural products.

Climate‚ is the average conditions for an area or country recorded over a long period of time like 30 years or more‚ examining the data recorded it is possible to see patterns or trends these become known as the climate. Any place on earth does therefore have its own daily weather and its own longer term average conditions or climate. By examining the records it is possible to identify trends etc which become known
