CLIMATE CHANGE
Solutions
Use renewable resources
The use of renewable resource can also be solution to climate change as well. Using renewable resources such as solar energy can reduce the the amount of carbon dioxide that is going into that is contributions to the temperature rising in Earth's atmosphere.
-
Conservation
Conservation can help be a solution to climate change because it can help protect the natural resources that are left on our planet which can help cleanse the areas that are polluted. This can lead to less greenhouse gases in the atephore making it easier for oxygen to flow in air.
-
Restoration
Restoration is when an ecosystem is damage/ destroyed and it needs assistant to recover. Restoration can be a solution to climate change because if we as a society took the time to replant to trees we take from the earth or even create away to stop runoff from occurring it can lead to a healthier planet. Without it we will continue melting poplar ice caps, rise in sea levels and a rise in our temperature in the atmosphere.

Causes
Burning of Fossil fuel
Burning of fossil Fuel leads to climate change because when fossil fuels such as gas or coal is burning it releases carbon dioxide into the air causing air pollution and greenhouse gases getting trapped into the earth making the Earth temperature to rise.
-
Air/ land Pollution
Air pollution causes climate change because with different types of air pollution such as nitrogen oxides or carbon monoxide being release into the atmosphere it causes the earth ozone layer to begin trapping in the heat causes increase in temperature. Land pollution causes climate change because it increases the greenhouses gases getting released into atmosphere from the causes of the chemicals seeping into the ground.
-
-
Deforestation
Deforestation is one of the causes of climate change because with humans cutting down more trees and not replacing them at the same rate it causes loss of vegetation which leads to erosion. With erosion the ground can't receive it's nutrients to produce more plants and trees to relieve the forest. This causes greenhouses gases to into the atmosphere.
-
Environmental Impact
Forest Fires
Forest fires causes major environmental impacts to also contribute to climate change.Not only does it destroy the habitats and ecosystems in that area it also releases lots of carbon dioxide into the environment as well. Carbon dioxide ends up pollution the air causing the environment to increase in temperature. Forest fires also leads to erosion and possibly deforestation is the forest cannot refurbish it self.
-
droughts
Droughts are an environmental impact of climate change as well. With droughts it causes serious erosion problems that can affect different ecosystems in that given area as well. Droughts can cause forest fires as when the area doesn't get water for a certain period of time which leads to a tree catching on fire because of the lack of rain.
-
Melting poplar icecaps
the melting of the poplar icaps is a environmental impact of climate change because it leads to the rising of the sea levels. With the ice melting due to the earth increase of temperature it causes the sea levels to rise and also leads to the popular habits being impacted as well.
-
Warmer waters
Warmer waters also can lead to an environmental impact that causes climate change as well. With warmer water occurring in the ocean it can lead to more hurricanes occurring causing serve damage to the coastline of states and ecosystems as well.Warmer waters in the ocean can also lead to upwelling in the ocean cause a major environmental impact in the ocean ecosystem by damaging them or causing the ecosystem to move if it's possible for them to do so.
-
Economic Impact
Tourism
Tourism is another economic impact that can be caused due to climate change. Tourism is very common is popular cities such as D.C or Los Angeles and they're also popular in areas where there is lots of land such as the Everglades or Yosemite National Park. The different tourism in cities can cause deforestation because to build a city all trees have to be cleared out the way causing erosion to occur and even leads to runoff causing sea levels to rise. In the tourist districts in the more open land area the people want the destination to look good so they can put fertilizers and other harmful chemicals that ends up pollution the ground and air which can end up in the sea as well. If climate change keeps occuring the tourism will effect the economy and a decrease of revenue will occur due to the rising of sea levels, pollution and temperature from climate change.
-
Agriculture
Agriculture is also an economic impact that will be affected by climate change as well. Agriculture takes place in the sea and land. When droughts occur because of the lack of rain in the atmosphere framers are unable to plant their crops to grow our food needed to survive in society. This is a huge economic impact because without crops the government and framers are unable to make money off of the crops being sold. Sea agriculture is also affected because when it comes to the fisherman trying to fish upwelling and rising sea levels causes the fish and other sea creature to leave the coastal area making it harder for the fisherman to catch the different marine life for a profit.
-
Infrastructure
Infrastructure have an economic impact of by helping the economy grow by improving the standard of living from humans. Due to the impact climate change have on infrastructure it will also end up effecting the economy as well. Infrastructure impacts climate change because it creates soil run-off and increase the water pollution as well. leading to more algae blooms occurring in the waterways.With damaging the earth the economic impact of it is that the government would have to find a way to create cleaner water so the whole country doesn't end up like Flint, Michigan.
-
Human productivity
Human productivity is an economic impact of climate change because it can affect the work ethics of society. One effect of climate change is the rise of temperature. If temperatures keep on rising outdoor activities such as soccer, gardening and even just running can become nearly impossible to do.This can cause heat strokes and even drought leading to dehydration as well. This can cost millions of dollars in healthcare and getting clean water to make sure humans can stay hydrated and not over heat.
-
Evidence
Less rainfall
With the mixed of pollution and rising earth's temperature the average rainfall have decreased over the last five years due to climate change. Precipitation is unable to come down to earth surface causing lots of droughts and forest fires to start up that end up interrupting human productivity with the air being polluted with smoke and also displacing lots of different ecosystems in those areas too. This could lead to extient to certain animals and plant species.
-
Decrease in snow cover
In the different tundras around the world it is noticeable with the Earth's temperature rising due to climate change that there is a decrease of snowfall in these location per year.Without these areas being as cold as there normally are hundreds of ecosystems end up being destroyed because they're unable to in the warmer temperature.
-
Increase of temperature
It is no secret that the increase of temperature have being occuring in society due to climate change. In the last couple of year the months that are normally cold such as October and November on the western Hemisphere have known to being is high 60s low 70s sometimes. In years prior , October and November are normally in the 40s and low 50s inside. Rising temperatures on earth are able to throw off the balance of the fall to winter ecosystems and they habits of animals.
-
Sea level Rising
Sea level rising is a key evidence that climate change is occuring in our society today. If you took at the sea level from 5 years ago and today you will noticed how the sea level had raised over 3-4 mm per year. Sea level rising causes different marine ecosystems to become out of place. This means now that these marine life have to find a new place to live now.
