Climate Change - what is it?
causes
enhanced greenhouse effect
increasing levels of CO2
Cows producing methane
from their waste and breathing and we keep eating it
beef
using coal for elecricity
no such thing as 'clean' fossil fuels
modes of transport
cars
trains
buses
trams
the way that food is produced
the way cities are built
livestock
evidence
ice is melting
because less heat is being reflected
10m of ice has melted in just the last 5 years
more dangerous and extreme weather patterns
increase in temperature
ice glaciers melting... sea levels rising
more flood and droughts
sea levels rising
causes cities and island to flood
in 2040 there will be no ice left
most dramatic environmental change ever
problems caused
we don't have enough information
more knowledge is needed and needs to be spread
people living on small islands can't live there now because of the sea levels.
reefs are going to virtually disappear
eco systems are being disrupted
even if we try to stop or reduce the amount of fossil fuels or CO2 being produced, it will take years for it to 'cool off' before we actually see an effect
animals homes are destroyed
Global ideas/ changes needed
china has already started using wind farms because of the massive effect that the CO2 had on them
carbon taxes
stop burning the forests for fossil fuel
and also because trees absorb the CO2 which is good for the earth
reduce amount of palm oil
ban plastic bags and reduce plastic packaging
reusable plastic bags
more renewable energy
wind farms
solar panels
Australia Changes/ solutions
banning plastic bags
some supermarkets have already done so
Educate about this big issue
Spread the word and knowledge
My personal contribution to the solution
stop or reduce the amount of things i buy with palm oil in them
buy less in general
means that less needs to be produced in factories
consume differenly
less beef
not as much packaged food
