Causes of Climate Change
Burning of Fossil Fuels
The ocean has become 30% more acidic since the Industrial Revolution because of burning fossil fuels
-
-
-
In the US, burning fossil fuels makes up 3/4 of our carbon emissions
Fossil fuels emit CO2 when burned, trapping heat in the atmosphere
-
Greenhouse Gases
Methane (from natural and human activities) is higher than in 800,000 years
-
Current CO2 levels are higher than in at least 800,000 years
Water vapor is controlled by temperature, affecting precipitation and evaporation

Agriculture and Farming
-
-
-
-
Agriculture contributes about 24% of greenhouse gas emission and is expected to stay high with the population growing
-
-
Ozone Changes
-
-
The bigger the ozone hole, the more severe and cold winters are
-
-
-
Deforestation
-
-
-
By 2030, paving over marshes, forests, and grasslands could generate 1.38 billion tons of carbon emissions
-
If tropical deforestation were a country, it would rank third in CO2 equivalent emissions
