Climate Change - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Brazil (amazon rain forest) and Indonesia (lowland tropical forests) account for almost half
- - - - Burning fossil fuels releases many pollutants. These pollutants can have detrimental effects on air quality, leading to respiratory problems in humans, smog formation, and damage to ecosystems.
      - Burning waste in incinerators releases pollutants such as carbon dioxide, particulate matter, and harmful chemicals into the air. These emissions can degrade air quality and contribute to the greenhouse gas effect, impacting climate patterns.
    - - The carbon dioxide emitted from burning fossil fuels doesn't only contribute to global warming but also gets absorbed by the oceans. This process leads to ocean acidification, affecting marine life, particularly organisms with calcium carbonate shells, such as corals and some shellfish, and disrupting marine ecosystems.
- - - - Improper disposal of waste in landfills contributes to the release of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. As organic waste decomposes anaerobically, it generates methane emissions, contributing to climate change.
    - - Improperly managed plastic waste poses a significant environmental threat. Plastics often break down into microplastics, releasing harmful chemicals into the environment and oceans. The production and disposal of plastics also contribute to carbon emissions, further influencing climate change.
