ENV 315 Wk 5 – Future Climate Changes

Review the following scenario: You are an environmental scientist reflecting on the climate changes that have and will occur throughout your lifetime.

 

Write a 900- to 1,100-word (title page and reference page do not apply toward the required word count) paper describing the environmental conditions that occurred during the last one to two decades and how these conditions are likely to change in the future with climate change. Include the following in your paper.

  • Introduction this should be a standalone paragraph that introduces the reader to the entire paper
  • Describe the environmental conditions that occurred during the last one to two decades.
  • Speculate about the future climate changes that may occur.
  • Discuss how various aspects of the planet may look 50 years from now. What domino effects may occur because of continuous human impact on the environment?
  • Consider the human connection to hydrologic changes, how climate change will affect the main components of the cryosphere, and the subsequent effects that will cause changes in drylands.
  • Include details concerning what daily living may be like, available foods, effects on animal populations, and cultural changes.
  • Conclusion – this should be a standalone paragraph that summarizes the content and includes an overarching take away message or call to action for the reader

 

Format the document with APA guidelines (Click on the Center for Writing Excellence link below for help with APA formatting, if needed). The paper needs to include:

  • Properly formatted title page with page number 1 at the upper right and no Running Head. The title of the paper (and only that) should be in bold font.
  • Properly formatted paper with title repeated on page 2 in bold font, page numbers, subheadings, etc.
  • Properly formatted in-text citations (which is not just a url)
  • Properly formatted reference page using the hanging indentation format in alphabetical order by author. Only references cited in the text may be listed on the reference page.

 

Utilize at least two references that are different than the course materials. Course material references can also be used, but at least two additional references need to be used as well.

 

Format your letter consistent with APA guidelines.
