ENVS FINAL (CLIMATE CHANGE (GreenHouse Effect (The issue with is that…

- - - - Warmer air can hold more water vapor leading to more rainstorms that cause extreme flooding
- - - - When cities are designed to hold people and not cars the safer mobility options such as integrated mass transportation, biking, walking, and car sharing can be provided.
  - - - the first ones to see this though is China holding more panels in the ocean then they do on land. China is known for having the largest floating solar farm yet. capable of producing 40 megawatts of power and powering up to 15,000 homes.
    - - With the grow of Solar energy, it has led to more than 260,000 Americans working in the solar industry. More and more jobs are being created every year, more Americans were employed in solar power last year than coal, gas, and oil combined!
  - - - Developing countries tend to have higher birth rates due to poverty and lower access to family planning and education.while developed countries have lower birth rates.
- - - - With a gasoline engine, you need to get the oil change every three months. if it doesn’t get done right, the engine could suffer damages and can pollute are air even more
        
        With an electric car, oil changes are no longer an issue. An Electric car doesn’t consume oil and therefor doesn't burn oil, and polluting our air
  - - - most of the straws that end up on the ocean are because of our own error. Such as when we go to the beach and are straw blows away, or we leave them on the floor because we don't want to carry it to the trash.
      - Scientists have conducted a new study discovering that microplastics particles smaller than dust or even powdered sugar. these small microparticles are then swallowed by baby sea turtles. These baby sea turtles were likely dying due to ingested plastic pollution, which threatens the species’ survival.
- - - - job creation, skills enhancement. local economic impact social investments, business ethics, security
    - - resource efficiency, product stewardship, life cycle management, products to service
    - - safety and health, environmental regulations, global climate change, access to potable water, crisis management, environmental justice
  - - - One of the causes of cancer, heart disease, stroke, and respiratory diseases such as asthma is Air pollution. "In the US alone 134 million people are at risk of disease and premature death because of air pollution" according to American Lung Association estimates.
- - - - UVC rays have more energy than the other types of UV rays. Fortunately, because of this, they react with ozone high in our atmosphere and don’t reach the ground, so they are not normally a risk factor for skin cancer.
        
        They can damage the DNA in skin cells directly, and are the main rays that cause sunburns. They are also thought to cause most skin cancers.
        
        About 95% of the UV rays from the sun that reach the ground are UVA rays, with the remaining 5% being UVB rays.
  - - - Ozone layer has been found to be affected by certain natural phenomena such as Sun-spots and stratospheric winds.
      - The main cause for the depletion of ozone is determined as excessive release of chlorine and bromine from man-made compounds
