Climate Change
Greenhouse gases
Carbon dioxide
natural air, consumed by trees and produced by burning carbon. It increases the greenhouse effect, more heat is trapped by the atmosphere, making the planet warmer.
Methane)
main constituent of natural gas. If it is allowed to leak into the air before being used, it absorbs the suns heat, and warms the atmosphere.
-
nitrous oxide
laughing gas, does not have a local environment effect, does however effect global warming, and third most important greenhouse gas in the UK
Deforestation
Trees, take in carbon dioxide from the air, and stores in in their bodies. When we deforest, we not only are making it so that less carbon is being pulled out but we are releasing more into the air.
Landfills
approximately 42% of greenhouse gases are associated with landfills form production to disposal, and is part of producing, processing, transporting, and disposing the food we eat.
Fertilizers
increase agriculture production and release a greenhouse gas called nitro oxide management of solid account for over half of the emissions form the agriculture sector.

Economy
The expenditure in annual heating and cooling could increase by 10% and by 22% by the end of the century.
Human population
More fossil fuels are being burned with the rise in human population, the more resources, the more materials the greater the impact
