Executive Summary
This report focuses on the changes in the climate which are seen now days. Some scientists
suggest that it is partly because of the greenhouse effect and partly because of the humans as
they are also responsible for warming the planet. With such reasons of climate change, the
necessary strategies are also discussed which can be used in the change of climate adaptation or
minimization. The significance and implications of the research are also discussed.

Cultural Anthropology
Introduction
Change in the climate plays a vital role in forming different civilizations, occupations and
desertion of various regions with time; fall down of many main civilizations and original
communities. Climate change refers to the group of people and the power they possess, ethics
and morality, cost for the environment and justice and spiritual survival. It is addressed as
environmental colonialism i.e. processes which are global are not just caused mostly by climate
sensitive regions. Still those region’s habitant experiences far reaching effects ( Hirsch, et al.,
2011). The anthropologists are serving their contributions to the new frameworks and methods
for understanding the complicated links in between the economy, climate and safety of the
humans when it comes to the climate change. They also make sure that such processes include
environmental and social realities on various levels.
Background
Most scientists who study the climate change are assertive that current trend of global warming
is the human growth of the greenhouse effect. It is heating the results when the environment set-
ups heat which radiates from this planet to the space (Carte, 2009). Some of the particular gases
in the environment blocks the heat from relieving. The gases which are long living retains
themselves in the atmosphere semi permanently and they don’t give response physically and
chemically for the changes in the temperature which is as labeled as compelling climate change.
Gases like water vapor can be seen as feedbacks as these respond to the physical and chemical
changes in temperature.
Role of Gases
Gases which contributes to greenhouse effect involves:
 Water Vapor: A greenhouse gas which is in abundance but significantly it acts as
feedback for the climate. The vapor rises as the planet’s environment gets hot, but then so
