Annotated Bibliography on Climate Change

Biello, D. (2007). Ten solutions for climate change: Ten possibilities for staving off catastrophic climate change.

Since the enormity of climate change and global warming seemingly becoming dispiriting and daunting, this article gives ten solutions that will be effective for staving off any possible catastrophic climate change. Hence, I will employ the ten solutions into my study. The ten solutions will be highlighted in my second last paragraph.

Fowler, H. J., Blenkinsop, S., & Tebaldi, C. (2007). Linking climate change modeling to impacts studies: recent advances in downscaling techniques for hydrological modeling. International journal of climatology, 27(12), 1547-1578.

This article is significant to my study since I will be incorporating its vast published literature that deals with the weaknesses and strengths of downscaling the methods used for different climatic regions, variables and seasons. Mainly, I will employ the comparative methodology approach the article uses under my study.

Causes of Climate Change: https://19january2017snapshot.epa.gov/climate-change-science/causes-climate-change_.html#Greenhouse

This website will be of aid to my study in highlighting the possible causes of climate change. Mainly, I will be interested in the sub-sections of the greenhouse effect that is being brought about by the atmosphere to retain the heat, changes that occur in the energy of the sun and lastly the changes in reflectivity effect. Hence, this website fits well with my study in highlighting the causes of climate change deeply.

Menzel, A., Sparks, T. H., Estrella, N., Koch, E., Aasa, A., Ahas, R., & Chmielewski, F. M. (2006). European phonological response to climate change matches the warming pattern. Global change biology, 12(10), 1969-1976.

This study will borrow heavily from this journal on the methods of observing climate change impacts that can be used to track the climate change impacts. Specifically, I will be using the methods of biological and physical system tracking, I will employ terrestrial ecosystem that gives a consistent picture of the observations.

Van der Linden, P. J., & Hanson, C. E. (2007). Climate change 2007: impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability (Vol. 4). M. Parry, O. Canziani, & J. Palutikof (Eds.). Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.

By referring to this article, I will be analyzing the impacts, vulnerability, and adaptation to climate change. I will mostly take keen concentration on apprehensions of climate change that will be including natural resource management, ecology, environmental science, social science, natural hazards and organizations given responsibility to look after the resources that have a likelihood to be affected by any climate change.

Van der Linden, S. L., Leiserowitz, A. A., Feinberg, G. D., & Maibach, E. W. (2015). The scientific consensus on climate change as a gateway belief: Experimental evidence. PloS one, 10(2), e0118489.

This source will be employed in my second part of the body trying to bring into the surface the widespread misunderstanding that has been existing on the extent of scientific consensus involving human-caused change on climate.

https://ec.europa.eu/climate/change/causes_en causes

This website is of importance to my study. I will be incorporating the causes of climate change into my study by this European Commission Website. The causes under this website will be highlighted after the introduction of my research.

https://climate.nasa.gov

The website of nasa.gov is of great significance to my study since it is the one that I use on my introduction. The sufficient information about the global climate change and the vital signs of the planet are good enough to introduce my study introduction. I equally will incorporate briefly under my introduction and the rest of the study body the discussions brought forth on the climate change evidence, causes, effects and solutions acquired from this website.
