EXERCISE #4 DATE: Saturday  18 th  November, 2023. How does Human Society Alter the Atmosphere and  Initiate Climate Change through the  Burning of Fossil Fuels?  Human Society is denoted as the primary invigorator of global atmospheric alteration, ultimately initiating Climate Change. Poor sewerage systems, large-scale production of agricultural crops and livestock (particularly sheep and cows), heavy pesticide, herbicide and insecticide usage (containing toxic chemicals which pollute ground and surface water), deforestation, oil and gas exploration, etc., are a few of numerous anthropogenic actions which modify the atmosphere and climate system. These activities thereby contribute to the greenhouse effect and global warming which worsen as human population and the need for more goods and services increase annually ( Turrentine 2022 ). Nevertheless, albeit the Industrial Revolution began during the 18 th  century, the  Burning of Fossil Fuels  prevails as the principal inducer of At

EXERCISE #3 DATE: Wednesday  1 st  November, 2023.  What is Global Environmental Change? Global Environmental Change (GEC) is an integrative and cyclical process related to human actions which negatively transform natural systems, such as oceans, land, ice, the biosphere, atmosphere and elemental cycles on a planetary scale ( Butler   an d  McFarlane 2018 , 454 ) .  Since modern society exists within the anthropocene, shifts upon environmental systems are increasing, specifically in the form of global warming and climate change. Deforestation, energy production and consumption, population growth, agricultural production (crop and livestock), urbanization, transportation, etc. are some human driven causes of Global Environmental Change ( Pyhälä et al. 2016 ).  M ultiple large-scale and local physical and biological processes, for instance  biodiversity loss, freshwater depletion, ocean acidification, aquifer contamination, ecosystem degradation, species extirpation and waste productio
