Causes of Climate Change
Natural Causes
Volcanic Eruptions can sometimes produce so much ash and gas it blocks out the sun.
The axis of the world slowly moves between 22 and 25 degrees slowing moving around the equator
Human Causes
Agriculture
Electricity
world leaders
Transportation
Waste
Farming animals Like cows that create methane.
Industry
Homes
We burn gas, oil and coal to create electricity
Transportation accounts for 15% of all global warming which is huge
Heating your house uses a lot of energy which makes a lot of emissions
We make a lot of plastic and rubbish which makes a lot of emissions
Industries create lots of CO2
Green House Effect
This means to change to what it best. for example to change to a heat pump
This is the action of reducing the use of something. An example would be to eat less meat or bike around places more.
Co2
Methane
Nitrogen
Nitrogen is good for for plants but to much of something good is bad
Methane is made from Cow burps and farts. Methane is caused by agriculture.
This can be causes by Cars and factories that make lots of CO2 more than 15 percent.
Grow crops that need less water and more heat
switch to clean energy
use electric cars
go for clean products
Use less water
Use your car less
Reach net 0 by 2050
Use more clean energy
Important people
The king, Pope, Bill Gates, US secretary, XI
It is very important to discuss the future of our planets
Eating less red meat
If you use a furnace you could turn down the heat and put on a hoodie
Controversy
Where it is held
Arguments
300 times more potent then carbon dioxide
When nitrogen in its active form, such as in fertiliser, is exposed to soil, microbial reactions take place that release nitrous oxide
By adding more Carbon dioxide it increases overall global temperature
CO2 can also cause wild fires
Methane has very similar traits like CO2 but instead it is 85 times more deadly
One controversy is that Dubai is holding COP28 which is strange due to the fact that Dubai produces oil and contributes to global warming. Its like having a cigarettes' company saying stop smoking
Another controversy is that Sultan al-Jaber is hosting it and he is the head of UAE's national oil company.
