The Little Ice Age
The Little Ice Age started from 1300 to 1850. During this time, Europe and North America have subjected too much colder temperature when comparing to the 20th century. Since 1250 A.D, temperatures started dropping. Then, from 1600 to 1700, this was the coldest period in little Ice Age. After that, in 1850, the temperatures started warming again.
There were two different states in this period. The first state was in 1300’s to 1500’s and the climate was warmer. The second state was about 1600’s to 1800’s and this time, the Little Ice Age caused the coldest part. Furthermore, the average temperature of the Little Ice Age was lower than today. Climate plummeted during that time and then it rose after the year of 1850. However, during the Little

    Coldest Winter Ever Summary

    Set in the projects of Brooklyn, New York, The Coldest Winter Ever is the story of Winter Santiaga (aptly named because she was born during one of New York's worst snowstorms), the rebellious, pampered teenage daughter of a notorious drug dealer. Ricky Santiaga, Winter's father, has attained substantial wealth through his illegal drug empire and lavishes his wife, Winter, and Winter's three younger sisters, Porsche, Lexus, and Mercedes, with the best things money can (and cannot) buy. Unknown to her father, Winter uses her hustling tricks to get whatever she wants. Winter's world is turned upside down on her 16th birthday, when her father suddenly decides to relocate his family and his growing business to Long Island, but she is determined not to sever ties with the old neighborhood.…

    Ice Age Columbus Evaluation

    Watching this documentary helped me realize the conveniences and things we live with today are not needed at all to survive this life. Even though the movie didn’t seem one hundred percent accurate, I feel that it gave me a good perspective to the way people lived twenty thousand years ago. We use so many technological devices in our everyday lives that we would not be able to survive outside of our usual environment without them. The Solutrean people had no means of transportation besides their feet on land, and boat on water. They had to hunt for their food, which was mostly scarce due to the harsh weather conditions. They had no way of communicating with anyone that wasn’t actually there in person. They truly had a completely different idea of the word struggle than people today.…

    Glacier Melt

    As a direct result of anthropogenic induced climate change there have been a number of observed changes to our environment and potential hazards created that threaten our planet. Along with increased storm frequency, abnormal precipitation patterns, and increasing sea levels that grab the headlines in the news, a very critical issue is threatening mountain communities across the globe. With each subsequent year global mean temperatures rise, mountain glaciers are shrinking2. This presents a significant dilemma to both the local populations that depend on seasonal melt water from the glaciers, and to billions of people in adjacent plateaus whose rivers are directly fed from said glaciers. This also creates a difficult moral predicament for the industrialized countries that are largely to blame due to their high contribution of greenhouse gases. These mountain populations have had very little impact in comparison, yet they stand to suffer the most since they generally do not posses the resources to cope with such a major potential water shortage in their remote locations. Thus, in principle, heavily industrialized economies will be responsible for stealing a basic human right, freshwater, from these people. This paper will analyze in detail the extent of the damage the melting of these glaciers could have and the necessary response needed by the global community to address climate change. In particular, I will examine the potential effect the proliferation of Buddhism could have in addressing these problems on a global scale and in considering our own responsibility to the planet. We find that through Buddhism a transformation could be made away from the modern consumerist culture, and a greater sense of obligation to the environment could be instilled, but to suggest that the religion is inherently the solution to our ecological crisis would be illegitimate.…

    Glaciers

    We are all familiar with rivers. Rivers collect water and allow it to flow downhill. A glacier is like a river, but it a large slow-moving river of ice, formed from compacted layers of snow that has basically accumulated for more that a year, which slowly deforms and flows in response to gravity and high pressure. The first year of snow fall is called a neve, then after the snow stay for more that one winter it’s called a firn. (Grabianowski). Extensive glaciers can be found in the Antarctica, Greenland, Iceland, Canada, Russia and Alaska.…

    A Winters tale

    From Shakespeare’s work The Winters Tale, the audience is given a vivid representation of gender politics. Like most of Shakespeare’s plays, the character development of the women is particularly profound, specifically Hermione and Paulina. These characters are arguably the most discerning characters Shakespeare has every created, and when they are faced with such tremendous adversity; they exemplify a virtuous and genuine defiance, of the tyranny of Leontes. The consequences that result from their patience, ultimately provides a certain level of spiritual atonement for themselves, and later for Leontes. The actions of their defiance cannot be fully understood until the end of act five when Leontes himself undergoes a personal catharsis, and Hermione is resurrected. Hermione is particularly virtuous with her embodiment of candor, and Paulina is equally as profound with her sense of directness and the wisdom that she provides Leontes.…

    What Are The Melting Glaciers Affect People?

    What is a shrinking glacier? Well basically the world’s ice is slowly melting, so that also means our glaciers are melting (shrinking). This is a problem worldwide. The oil, coal, natural gases, and fossil fuels we burn affect our atmosphere and increase the temperatures that melt our glaciers. If the glaciers continue to melt rapidly ocean levels will rise, there will be flooding, there also could be droughts. This is a very serious issue today but I’m just going to tell you about two places for now.…

    Melting Ice Caps

    The Arctic is global warming’s canary in the coal mine. It is a highly sensitive area which is profoundly affected by the changing climate. The average temperature in the Arctic is rising twice as fast as elsewhere in the world (nrdc.org). Because of this, the ice cap is getting thinner, melting away, and rupturing. Here is an example of this; the largest ice block in the Arctic, the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf, had been around for 3000 years before it started cracking in 2000 (nrdc.org) By 2002, the Ward Hunt has cracked completely through and had started breaking into smaller pieces. The melting ice caps are affecting the earth and its inhabitants in many ways. In this paper, the following concepts and subjects will be discussed: the polar regions and how they are affected by the melting ice caps, the rising ocean levels and how they are a result of the ice caps, and a way in which we are trying to create a major breakthrough that will help to stop or limit the melting of the ice caps.…

    The graph in Figure 1 shows the trend in the world’s temperature since the end of the last ice age, approximately 10,000 years ago. The temperature since that time has increased by 6°C. Within this general trend, however, there have been a number of fluctuations. After the last ice age the temperature rose rapidly for the following 2,000 years. Between 4,000 and 8,000 years ago there were two warm periods interrupted by a colder spell. Another warm spell happened between the years AD800 and AD1200, which was known as the medieval warm period. There then followed the Little Ice Age where temperatures were below the long-term average for 600 years, ending in the late 1800s. In the past 100 years the temperature has begun to rise steadily, with greater increases since the 1960s. The temperature is projected to increase much more rapidly in the coming years, being 5°C warmer in 2100 than it is now.…

Climate change is real though and some animals are losing their lives because of it. For example The temperatures are rising making icebergs melt and more rain fall. Sea level is rising and making islands smaller and longer swimming distances for animals. Humans need to do something about this.…
