Information
Who's going: The Pope, The King of England, Xi Jingping, Joe Biden, Leaders from Franch, UK, Japan, Germany
Where: It is going to be in Dubai this year
Major Goals: Their major goals is to identify solutions for climate change and try to increase the global temperature by 1.5 degrees.
Changes in the earth's orbit: Every 41,000 years, the axis of the earth moves bettween 22 degrees to 25 degrees. This way, different parts of the planets have been hotter before.
Volcanos: After a huge volcano eruption, the earth's atmosphere can be full of ash and dust and it blockes out the suns energy and lowers the globol temperature.
Mitigation means reducing the consequences of a problem. To mitigate climate change, we must act on its causes. One of the ley greenhouse gases we produce is CO 2.
The rising amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is causing global warming. This increases CO 2.
Fossil fuels use in the 1800's using coal, natural gas, and oil.
An adaptation is a change made to deal with a new situation. IN the case of climate change, we must adjust to the effects of climate change to try to protect ourselfs and our planet.
Some adaptiations include: Growing crops that will adapt and grow in the new climate
Expanding healthcare to treat or prevent health problems causes by extreme weather events such as heat waves.
Protectiong water sources from the effects or warmer temperature and extreme weather, for example by building larger storace places.
By making different coices, we can ruduce CO 2 leveis in the atmosphere.

Government Leaders, Industry Leaders, NGO's(Environmental Organizations)
Antonio Guterres
He said that we have to reverse course
Two Major: Phase Down vs Phase Out
The Controversy
The biggest oil producing country in the world is hosting the COP 28
%98 of Dubais energy is running from Fossil fuel
They pump 4.5 million barrels of oil every day and they are trying to get to 5 million
We live in the Holocene. We call it the Holocene because in the last 10,000 years, global temperature has been stable.
We left the Holocene and we are the Anthropocene
Dubai spends %98 of their money on Fossil fuel and %2 on the solar panals
