Causes

Earths orbit and position in the solar system

Air pollution by humans and animals

Asteroid collision on Earth

It is predicted that if an asteroid hit Earth in the oceans then it will cause massive global tsunamis that will destroy coastal cities. If it hit land then it would damage everything around it. The dust from the impact and soot from forest fires will go to the atmosphere, blocking out the sun.

Water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride are that contribute to global warming GREENHOUSE GASSES PIE CHART .

Earths position in the solar system is rare among the galaxy because Earth is placed in a place that is not to hot and cold but it is changing and when it changes, the climate also changes but it would take a long time to made a great amount of change that will make the climate change drastically.

Super Volcanic eruptions

The Yellowstone volcano in America is dormant but it will erupt. When it does, its ash will cover the sun in most of North America after the heat wave in the regions of Northwestern America.

Sea levels rise

Loss of habitats

New parts of Earth being more productive in agriculture

Droughts

in Africa, Desertification is beginning to spread towards the forest regions. In Antarctica and icy regions, the ice are melting and the animals which lived there will die out or adapt to warmer conditions.

Places which were predicted to experience a boost to agriculture if this much climate change happened are Siberia, Northern and Eastern Europe, Northern Canada and parts of Northeastern Asia.

Regions of the world that will be most affected by sea levels rise are The Netherlands, Southeast Asia and Bangladesh. These regions have from 7 to 49% of the population being affected.

Droughts can happen if the region is getting to dry. Some of these places include North India, North China and Southwestern USA. Droughts can decrease food production, loss of habitats and possibly forest fires. image

Eat for a climate-stable planet

Green commute

Use and invest in renewable energy

Use energy wisely

Transport contribute to 14% of climate change so it is important to reduce the amount of greenhouse gasses emitted from transport. Some ways of doing this are switch to a hybrid vehicle, use public transits, cycle more and fly aeroplanes less.

Unplug computers, televisions and other electronics when its not being used.

Some things people could do to eat for a climate-stable diet are to eat meat free meals often for example once a week. This can reduce the amount of livestock that are using most of our agriculture land and releasing massive amounts of methane into the air. Another ways include buying organic foods, grow own food with fertilizer that doesn't emit greenhouse gasses and don't waste food

Renewable energy, for example, solar, wind, hydroelectric, biomass and geothermal energy are good examples and they do not emit greenhouse gasses when used. image

Change to energy efficient light bulbs or LEDs

Limit the use of dryers, hang clothes instead.

Nexus thinking

A way of thinking that recognises the crucial interdependence of water, food and energy

Population growth demands more food, water and energy. Climate change is reducing water by drought, reducing food in the long term by drought and heat waves, reducing energy by not having enough heat for geothermal power.
