GOBAL WARMING.
Definition of global warming.
A gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons.
The Causes of Global Warming.
- Global warming is primarily a problem of too much carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere—which acts as a blanket, trapping heat and warming the planet.
- Certain waste management and agricultural practices aggravate the problem by releasing other potent global warming gases, such as methane and nitrous oxide.
- Its effects on animals and on agriculture are indeed frightening, and the effects on the human population are even scarier.
TEXAS.
Last year, a record heat wave hit Texas, massive floods
NORTH POLE.
Global warming is the increase observed in the last century the average temperature of the Earth's climate system.
CALIFORNIA.
The latest scientific data confirm that the Earth's climate is changing rapidly. Global temperatures rose about 1 degree Fahrenheit during the past century
Physical Changes.
The planet is warming, from North Pole to South Pole, and everywhere in between. Globally, the mercury is already up more than 1 degree Fahrenheit (0.8 degree Celsius), and even more in sensitive polar regions. And the effects of rising temperatures aren’t waiting for some far-flung future.
Chemical Reactions.
Global climate change is a very complex subject. All of Earth's spheres --the biosphere (living things), hydrosphere(water), lithosphere (rock/soil), and atmosphere (air)--work together to create and maintain climate. However, the biosphere, humans in particular, has had an increasingly greater impact on climate in recent decades.
Harmful Effects.
Global climate change has already had observable effects on the environment. Glaciers have shrunk, ice on rivers and lakes is breaking up earlier, plant and animal ranges have shifted and trees are flowering sooner.
1:
the environmental and social changes caused ) by human emissions of greenhouse gases.
2:
There is a scientific consensus that climate change is occurring and that human activities are the primary driver.
3:
Many impacts of climate change have already been observed, including glacier retreat.
1:solution.
- Do not use electricity to heat (heater, heat hot water, cooking, etc ...) 70% of the energy is lost before reaching home, instead use solar heaters, or gas, CO2 and will save money.
2:solution
Drive less: ANDA, cycling, public transport USED. You CAN SAVE 30 grams of CO2 per 4 KM AND THE NOT DRIVE.
3:solution.
RECYCLE
You can save
OVER 730 KILOS OF CARBON DIOXIDE PER YEAR to recycle only
HALF of the waste produced
