      - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
    - - Support local farms.
      - Educate others.
      - Educate yourself.
- - - - The ability of the ocean to absorb carbon dioxide decreases as the carbon concentration increases.
      - Increased carbon dioxide causes:
        
        Ocean acidification.
        
        Kills marine life and coral reef ecosystems.
        
        Prevents marine organisms from building shells.
    - - Carbon is stored in forests as plants take in carbon dioxide for food.
- - - - Polar
      - Arid
      - Tropical
      - Tundra
      - Mediterranean

        Ash
        
        Dust
        
        Sulfur dioxide
        
        Blocks solar radiation in the atmosphere.
        
        Cooling effect.
      - Solar Activity
        
        Fluctuations of solar radiation can slightly warm or cool climates.
      - Plate Tectonics
        
        Mountains building removes carbon dioxide from atmosphere.
      - Weathering/Erosion
        
        Move carbon to the ocean.
        
        Over a long scale of time.
        
        Cooling effect.
      - Ocean Circulation
        
        Changes in ocean circulation patterns.
  - - - Combusting fossil fuels.
      - Contributing to landfills.
      - Deforestation
