Climate change crisis
What you should know about the changing climate!
My Big Question: what are the effects of climate change?
There are many issues that will come up as climate change continues. Some of these problems include many more strong storms of all kinds, some of these storm are caused because of them jet stream moving and changing ("6 climate myths debunked") another problem is the ice caps melting which causes mass flooding ("melting away"). We will also see invasive species become more prevelent, lots of plants and animals will have to migrate to different places as temperatures change. ("How climate change affects you")
Some effects of climate change and ideas of how to stop them
The melting ice caps
As global warming is continuing to occur the polar ice caps are melting and causing colder winters are hotter summers it is also going to cause a major flooding problem worldwide in costal cities.(6 climate myths) Photo (Stricherz)
Wind farms
Nations like the United States are trying to find an alternative way to get energy like these wind farms that don't include fossil fuels or emmit Co2. (Hirsch) photo ("en.wikipedia.com")
Urban agriculture
Some cities are having gardens or small farms be built within the city this is helpful because the soil helps absurd water that could flood the streets and the plants could help clean the air. ("climate friendly food production") photo ("en.wikipedia.com")
My Other Important Questions
I wanted to know why climate change has only become big in these past few years. I discovered that because of how much electricity we are using today and other things like cars, the greenhouses are in much more of our air and they are keeping the heat in Earth's atmosphere better ("6 climate change myths") and ("How to save the world"). Another question I had was can we stop or reverse climate change. As I found out we still can reverse the effects of climate change of we change our ways and use co2 less and use more eco-friendly products and materials ("How climate change affects you").
Chart of co2 emissions rise over the years
As you can see co2 has risen very high since the 1950's-1960's and if I showed you the climates rise in thoughout these years as well you would see that the co2 charts would match very closely to the climate chart
