It may be harsh and even cruel, however, some would argue, “Why should we care when a vast ocean separates China and India from the United States?

Increasing Severity of Hurricanes The global temperature over the past century has risen 0.6 °C (1°F) while the ocean temperature has increased 0.1°C (0.18°F) (“Sea Temperature Rise,” n.d.). The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has averaged all land and sea temperatures from 1880 to 2012 and have calculated that temperatures have risen approximately 0.85°C (1.53°F) (University Corporation For Atmospheric Research, 2014). This may not seem nearly as significant because on an average day the

Overfishing is an immense international issue described as “the greatest threat to ocean ecosystems today” (“The Threats of Overfishing…”). The question is whether the way commercial fishing (when fish and other seafood is caught for a profit) is carried out impacts overfishing. There are two contrasting perspectives in this essay, with the first being that yes, the current system needs to be changed because it results in political strife and environmental degradation. In this perspective, there
Scientists have studies Earth's climate changes for decades, by analyzing many indirect measures of climate such as ice cores, tree rings, glacier lengths, pollen remains, and ocean sediments, as well as by studying the change in Earth's orbit around the sun. This study shows the climate system changes over time over a full range time scales. However, before the Industrial Revolution in the 1700s can be explained climate change by natural causes, such as changes in solar energy, volcanic eruptions
