Resource summary
Climate Change
How has it affected the world?
Higher Temperatures
The world has been warming since the 1950s. Now there are more hot days than cold days due to climate change
Heavier Storms & Floods
The earth's atmosphere can hold more and more moisture as it warms. So, this causes more storms and floods around the world
Heat Waves
They will become hotter, longer and more frequent all over the world
What are the impacts in the future?
Massive Migrations
Climate refugees are real and will become a bigger problem in the future. It is estimated there will be 1 billion by 2050
More Extreme Hurricanes
Hurricanes will increase in violence due to climate change causing more deaths , refugees and damage
Extinctions
Temperature that surpasses the physiological tolerance of the species will be one of the main causes of extinction in the future
How can we help defeat it?
Don't waste food
Methane comes from food rotting in landfills & it it is a lot stronger than CO2
Ride a bike/ carpool
Riding a bike uses a small amount of fossil fuels and it's a pollution-free way of trasnportation
Unplug electronics when not using them
Most of the energy coming from our houses use fossil fuels, so, when you unplug them you are reducing your carbon emissions
What is causing it?
Deforestation
Forests absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the air but when we cut down trees the process is reversed
Increase In Population
More people means the need for more resources, which means speeding up the increase in greenhouse gas emissions
Greenhouse gases are increasing
When there are more greenhouse gases in the air, the air holds more heat, which causes climate change
