Climate Change - Coggle Diagram

- - - - As climate change causes the sea level to rise, sea walls and levees can help limit the amount flooding of coastal cities. Both near coasts and inland, improving stormwater drainage can help keep communities safe from flooding as climate changes increases the amount of rain in storms. Homes have been built in ways that reduces the chance of flooding. For example, homes raised on stilts and floating houses help prevent the threat of flood water
    - - In warmer places, dangerous heat waves are becoming more common and lasting longer. To adapt people have outfit buildings with more insulation and efficient cooling technologies. Planting trees has also been helpful, as not only do they provide shade, but they also remove carbon with causes the heat waves. People have also installed the roofs with plants for the same reason and are called "green roofs"
    - - Due to climate change, there has been changes in the amount of precipitation which is making farming a challenge. Farmers have been adapting to these conditions by adapting their techniques, planting drought resistant crops and making irrigation more efficient. Managing fisheries and setting fish quotas help ensure that fish are not overharvested. Communities are also making changes to improve food storage and preservation and running food banks to help distribute food to people in need.
- - - - Electricity Production
        
        We burn fossil fuels, such as natural gas, oil, and coal, to produce electricity
      - Industry
        
        Many industries, such as the steel industry, use fossil fuels to produce heat for making products
      - Transportation
        
        Most cars, trains, ships, and planes are powered by fossil fuels, such as gsoline and diesel
      - Agriculture
        
        Greenhouse gases are produced in animals' digestive tracts and emitted into the air. They are also given off when animal waste decays. The decaying of unused plant materials, such as waste from food crops, also produces greenhouse gases
      - Homes and Businesses
        
        Fossil fuels are burned for heat. Some of the chemicals we use in our homes or businesses, such as the coolants in refrigerators, also give off greenhouse gases
      - Waste
        
        Household wastes and industrial wastes release greenhouse gases as they decompose
      - Canada
        
        Canada has spent 2.8 billion dollars on Solar but spent 37 billion dollars on oil and gas in 2022
    - - Earth's Axis: Every 40000 years the Earth's axis moves between 22 and 25 degrees which means the most direct rats of the sun's energy have been directed at different parts of the planet changing the cliamte
      - Volcanoes: Several times in history massive volcanic eruptions have put huge amount of ash and dust into the global atmosphere which has actually blocked out some of the sun's energy and lowered the global tempurature.
