- HOW IS GLOBAL WARMING CAUSED?
- What is global warming? Global warming is the long term effect in the earths average temperature due to human activites, mainly fossil fuels, burning which increases heat trapping greenhouse gas levels in the earths atmosphere.
- What is global warming? Global warming is the long term effect in the earths average temperature due to human activites, mainly fossil fuels, burning which increases heat trapping greenhouse gas levels in the earths atmosphere.
- Humans are increasingly influencing the climate and the earth's temperature by burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests and farming livestock. This adds enormous amounts of greenhouse gases to those naturally occurring in the atmosphere, increasing the greenhouse effect and global warming.
- HOW IS IT AFFECTING US?
- As the earth warms up, ice lands such as anarticsuffer from their ice melting that makes the sea level rise, this leaves Ecossytems with no homes and puts coountries and homes at risk of sinking.
- Wildfires can be caused by an accumulation of dead matter (leaves, twigs, and trees) that can create enough heat in some instances to spontaneously combust and ignite the surrounding area. Lightning strikes the earth over 100,000 times a day. 10 to 20% of these lightning strikes can cause fire. WILDFIRES are dangerous they leave ecosystems in risk of no home or put local communities at risk
- Global warming affects evapotranspiration—the movement of water into the atmosphere from land and water surfaces and plants due to evaporation and transpiration— which is expected to lead to: Increased drought in dry areas. This affects agriculture and can eventually lead to no drinking water or food production
