Climate Actions 
-
-
Deforestation
The wood found in forests (trees) is used to supply the following:
- Building Materials (wood)
- Paper
- Fuel
Increase in global warming happens two ways during deforestation:
- release of carbon dioxide
- reduction in the amount of carbon dioxide forests capture
-
-
Oil Drilling
Burn-off (removal of substance by flame) from oil drilling industry impacts CO2 released into the air.
Fossil fuel retrieval, processing, and distribution accounts for roughly 8% of CO2 and 30% of methane pollution.
-
-
Natural Gas Drilling
What is known to be a cleaner fuel source, natural gas drilling causes high pollution rates to the air in various states.
Hydraulic fracturing techniques used to extract the natural gas from the deposits pollutes the ground water sources as well.
-
Permafrost
-
-
Scientists calculate that approximately 500 gigatons (equal to one billion tons) if carbon is trapped in a particular permafrost location known as Siberian Permafrost.

-
Volcanic Eruption
-
When erupting, volcanoes expel or release large quantities of CO2.
Small effects on global warming comes from volcanoes AND an eruption causes short-term global cooling from the ash which reflects greater amounts of solar energy.
