Overcoming Anthropocentric Bias: The Importance of Geological Drivers in Climate Science Introduction Climate change, an increasingly pressing concern for scientists and society alike, is typically framed within the context of anthropogenic global warming theory. This dominant paradigm asserts that rising greenhouse gas emissions resulting from human industrial activity are the primary force driving observed global temperature increases, weather pattern shifts, glacial melting, and other environmental transformations (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [IPCC], 2013)....
Incorporating Geological Forces in Climate Models: Enhancing Predictive Capabilities Introduction Climate change has emerged as a preeminent scientific issue of the modern era, sparking interdisciplinary study, public discourse, and polarized policy debates. A central narrative has taken hold - that rising greenhouse gas emissions from human industrial activity are the primary force behind observed global temperature increases, weather pattern shifts, glacial melting, and other environmental transformations. This anthropogenic global warming theory has shaped the predominant paradigms, areas of focus, and assumed solution pathways guiding climate change research and multinational initiatives (e....
The Impact of Anthropocentrism on Environmental Policy: A Call for Geological Perspectives Introduction The issue of climate change has risen to prominence as one of the most pressing global challenges, prompting interdisciplinary study and heated debates in scientific circles. At its core lies the notion that anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions have instigated a dramatic increase in global temperatures, driving severe shifts in weather patterns and contributing to phenomena such as glacial melting (IPCC reports)....
Overcoming Anthropocentric Bias - The Imperative to Investigate Geological Drivers in Climate Science Abstract: Anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions have been the predominant focus of climate change research. However, emerging data suggests that this human-centric bias may be severely underestimating the influences of powerful geological forces such as volcanism. Some eruptions potentially outgas the equivalent of centuries’ worth of human emissions in mere days. The psychological phenomenon of egocentrism, or viewing phenomena through a human lens, could be obstructing recognition of these Earth system processes as primary drivers behind global climate dynamics....
Human Impact: The Role of Transportation in Climate Change Introduction Climate change is one of the most pressing environmental challenges facing humanity today, and its consequences are increasingly becoming evident around the world. It is widely accepted that human activities contribute significantly to climate change by increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere. One major source of GHG emissions is transportation. The objective of this article is to explore how transportation affects climate change, with a focus on examining its contribution to greenhouse gas emissions and the potential solutions for mitigating these effects....

Exploring the Nexus of Agriculture and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Introduction: In recent decades, climate change has emerged as a pressing concern, capturing the attention of policymakers, researchers, and the general public. While various sectors contribute to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, agriculture stands out due to its unique role in both emitting GHGs and sequestering carbon through natural processes. This article delves into the complex relationship between agriculture and GHG emissions, exploring how agricultural practices, consumption patterns, and technological advancements can influence our planetary health....
Title: Deforestation and Climate Change: A Looming Crisis Introduction The subject of human impact on the environment, specifically deforestation, has become a critical concern worldwide due to its potential role in accelerating climate change. This article explores the relationship between deforestation and climate change, examining how the loss of forests exacerbates global warming through carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Forests are often referred to as “carbon sinks” because they absorb CO2 from the atmosphere during photosynthesis....
Title: Climate Change Impacts Across the Globe: Unraveling Negative Consequences Introduction Climate change, a pressing global issue, is fundamentally altering ecosystems and societies worldwide. This article investigates how climate change is impacting various regions across the planet, with a particular emphasis on negative effects. By examining these consequences, we can gain insight into the importance of taking decisive action to mitigate further damage. Background and Context Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperature, precipitation patterns, and other climatic factors....
Title: Reducing Plastic Use: A Key Strategy for Environmental Conservation Introduction In recent decades, plastic pollution has emerged as one of the most pressing environmental challenges facing our planet. The widespread consumption and disposal of single-use plastics have led to significant ecological consequences, including habitat destruction, chemical contamination, and harm to wildlife. Reducing plastic use is a critical strategy in mitigating these issues and promoting environmental conservation. This article will examine the rationale behind reducing plastic usage, explore the various ways individuals can contribute to this effort, and discuss the broader implications of such actions for global sustainability....
