GLOBAL WARMING, Climate change are long term-shifts of temperature and…

- - - - Factor 1-Greenhouse gases
        
        Greenhouse gases keeps the Earth´s temperature warm enough to support living organishms. Without them, the planet would be too cold for most organisms to survive. The problem nowadays is to do withj the amount of these gases in the atmosphere. The Sun hits the planet. Some energy is absorbed at the surface of the Earth BUT the rest of that energy is reflected by the surface. When it gets to the atmosphere, the greenhouse gases trap the reflected energy and redirect it back down to the earth and eventually contributing to global warming.
      - Factor 2-Agriculture
        
        Different pesticides are used in agriculture and enormous amounts of trees are cut down (deforestation) for cattle (livestock)
      - Factor 3-Deforestation
        
        Plants need carbon dioxide BUT the more trees are cut down, the less carbon dioxide can be absorbed, Moreover, deforestation contributes to increased fire risk because the reduction of tree cover and ground vegetation dries out forests.
      - Factor 4-Burning of fossil fuels
        
        Burning fossil fuels for electricity, heat or transportation emit greenhouse gases.
      - Factor 5-Livestock
        
        Livestock in the form of sheep,pigs and poultry play a significant role in climate change.
    - - Water and Food resources
      - Sea levels rising
      - Shrinking Ice Sheets
      - Ocean Acidification

    - - Save energy at home
      - Reduce, reuse, repair and recycle
      - Cambie el tipo de energía de su casa
      - Get around by walking, cycling or using public transport
