Certain weather events that prove the fact that weather patterns change constantly over time; evidence corresponding to an individual’s experience regarding climate change and an explanation regarding the importance of data collection.

Answer to Problem 15.1CTDQ
Yes, an individual can find evidence of the climate change by recognizing the local climate change and verifying that climate is changing with the information provided by a reliable source. The ability of an individual to recall climate changes shows the importance of the data collection because an individual’s ability is limited and he cannot remember so much about every change in climate.
Explanation of Solution
Climate change is a result of human activities like deforestation, industrialization, release of green houses gases and various other activities.
Weather pattern changes constantly. The weather event that reflects the climate change is a change in the pattern of monsoon.
Yes, an individual can find evidence of the climate changes by recognizing the change in climate of his local area and verifying it with the information provided by the local weather forecasters.
The ability of an individual to recall climate changes shows the importance of data collection because an individual’s ability is limited as he can’t recall so much about the weather changes like the data collection process can. An individual should be aware of a variety of possible impacts of climate changes such as drier summers, shorter winters and stormier weather.

- Connecticut is the only state in America where treated industrial and municipal wastewater cannot be discharged to a surface water body used downstream as a source of drinking water. It is legal in all 49 other states. For example, New Orleans, Louisiana takes its drinking water from the Mississippi River which receives discharges of many, many treated municipal and industrial wastewater discharges as well as agricultural runoff from the more than 20 states that are upstream of it. Should other states be required to adopt Connecticut's standard? Whyarrow_forwardWhat is thermal pollution?
