Blog Assigment #2

My name is Andreina Urena, and I am a student in LaGuardia Community College. In this blog I am responding to an assignment in my ENG 101 class and the purpose of this assignment is to explain the science of climate change to an outsider from the readings "The 'Anthropocene,'" by Paul J. Crutzer and Eugene F. Stoermer and "The Scientific Consensus on Climate Change," by Naomi Oreskes.

Many people may ask themselves what climate change is and why other people like

Scientists or writers are going crazy with this. Well, climate change is basically a change

 in the weather where many systems are affected because they are tied to climate, and it is

 becoming a concern because it has local and global impacts. According to the first

reading "the 'Anthropocene'" humans are the primary and one of the biggest responsible

for climate change because thirty to fifty percent of land space had been utilized by

 humans. For instance, human population has tremendously expand, meaning that there is

 a gigantic possibility that many of those humans are contributing to climate change, even

when they are not aware of what they are doing. In addiction, cattle production had

 increased as well. Furthermore, nitrogen which is a naturally occurring element

that is found in most living thing is being used by agricultures as fertilizers. For someone

 that is not informed about climate change may say that it is okay to use this element, but

 besides that it is working as a fertilizer, this element is helping to climate change. In the

 other hand, the second reading “The Scientific consensus on Climate Change” the

 members of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate change (IPCC) stated that

 greenhouse gasses are all over the earth due to humans actions, and as a consequence

 this gasses are making the ocean temperature to raise which is harmful in so many ways.

 Some of the reasons these gasses are all sparse in the air is because of energy supply,

transportation, agriculture, etc.. For instance to obtain electricity and heat, coal needs to

 be burned, and we know that heat is a big source of greenhouse gas emission. So, it is

 understandable and at the same time people should be conscious that climate change is

 really happening and we, the people, are the main contributors for this to be happening.
