This paper examines global warming and refutes those skeptics who claim that the climate is not changing. It begins by establishing that the climate is changing, showing evidence of an increasing global temperature that is increasing at rates not seen in the global record. Next, it demonstrates a link between human activity and global warming. Third, it focuses on the negative consequences of climate change for humans.

- Ezra Pound was an American expatriate poet and literary critic. He worked in London in the early 20th century and helped to discover and popularize the works of T.S. Eliot, James Joyce, Robert Frost, and Ernest Hemingway. He lost faith in England after the carnage of World War I and moved to Italy to support the Fascists and Nazis, causing him to be arrested for treason in 1945.

Climate change, also known in some circles as global warming, is a phenomenon that has been the subject of a vast amount of attention in recent decades. This issue stands the potential not only to threaten many animal species around the world, but also has the potential to virtually eliminate the human race by making the climate of the earth inhospitable. Although it may be somewhat unlikely that the human species will become extinct anytime in the near future, the limitations of the planet to support the exponentially growing human population are becoming increasingly more salient as this field of research continues developing. With the world population recently climbing to over seven billion people, many researchers are questioning the natural ecosystem's ability to support the global population (Hanna and Osborne-Lee). Theoretically, humans will reach a point in which the regenerative capacity of the planet will no longer support the physical requirements of the population; if that point has not been crossed already.

Professional development results in a demonstrated increase in teaching staff knowledge and understanding, teaching staff skillfulness, and teaching staff professional values. Activities and experiences are assessed on an on-going and continuous basis for intended impact. Defensible evaluation tools/methods must be used to determine modifications to planned activities/experiences. Content of courses, workshops, and other professional development experiences should be directly related to enriching teacher knowledge and student learning experience.

This study answers 20 questions and discusses which of the interrelationships between the environmental spheres, in your experience, has had the biggest effect on human society, or vice versa. Examples are provided. A specifically important aspect of the atmosphere is that the atmosphere serves a vital protective function in that it absorbs highly energetic ultraviolet radiation from the sun that would kill living organisms exposed to it. The atmosphere stabilizes the temperature of the earth and is the medium in which water evaporated from oceans as the first step in the hydrologic cycle is transported over land masses to fall as rain over land."
