Rising sea levels. Extreme weather shifts. Severe flooding. Increasingly frequent and intense natural disasters. If we don't do something about climate change now, all could become a reality. While some climate change is the result of natural processes, the most significant shifts in the Earth’s temperature are caused by human activities -- specifically, by the excessive release of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into the atmosphere, largely the result of deforestation, agricultural conversion and unsustainable tourism. I am closing with my sentences asking: is curbing climate change possible?
As I know and some studies show, climate change becomes reality now and it's effects starts, you can see the following paper which study effect of human-made climate change in recent years:
http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2012/07/30/1205276109.abstract
But can we stop these effects or no, there is no general accepted answer to this question. In general if we reduce production of GHG, we hope that we can stop these effect but there is other phenomena which involves in climate change, e.g. melting of polar ice caps acts like a positive feedback for global warming.
My alternative is for both, fro natyral phenomena and activities of man and woman.
but for probleme mentioned above through my question and my answer is: I am closing with my sentences asking: is curbing climate change possible
Mitigation and Adaptation-these are the ways to do it. The IPCC and others have described these. All countries which are party to the UNFCC (climate change treaty) have NAPA national action plans for adaptation. This is an absolutely huge subject. I advise you get your country's national report to the UNFCC and the NAPA
