Climatic Change and Its Effect on Society

Climatic Change and Its Effect on Society

     There has been a significant climatic change that has taken place
throughout the years on Earth. These changes have effected society in more than
one way. However, there is nothing society can do about the long term influences
of climatic changes. Society has tended to address the short term effects of
climatic changes that influence the global temperatures within the life span of
present generations. The following will show how climatic changes does effect
society, health, and economics.
     Society depends a lot on natural resources for various aspects. First of
all, society depends largely on forests to supply trees which in turn supply
wood for construction. Other resources include oil and animals (livestock). In
the focus of wood, there is the Western Canadian Boreal Forest which is a large
producer of wood for the United States construction industry. However, climatic
changes has had large and impacting effects on the construction industry.
Compared to eastern Canada, the southern boreal forest region of western Canada
has a relatively dry climate. Thus, drought effects are one of the major
concerns being addressed by researchers in this region. climate modellers have
predicted a large increase in temperature for this region, which could lead to
even drier conditions and enormous stresses on vegetation in the western
Canadian boreal forest. This type of impact was observed following the 1988
drought it experiences, when there was a die-back of aspen over extensive areas
of the aspen parkland in Western Canada. Associated with this drought was a
drying up of large lakes in the region. Another potential impact for the region
is a major increase in forest fires. This is due to the fact that fire frequency
is closely linked to moisture levels which are expected to decrease under
climatic change. Thus, it is noticed that with increased climatic change the
future that this forest has in supplying lumber is decreasing, and the
construction industry will face a slight drawback due to this. In this it is
noticed that, with a drawback in the construction industry's output, will also
effect the economy and society. The economy will effect society and the decrease
in output means a decrease in jobs, which in effect hurts society.
     Contrary to the example of the forests in Canada, is the information
found on its agriculture. Because average temperatures are expected to increase
