Global Warming

Cause

Effects

Gas that lets the sunlight in easily but trap the heat such as methane, and carbon dioxide.

Human activity such as getting too much cow which produce methane. image

Clearing up forests for agriculture. Killing trees which can absorb 5o poundds of carbon dioxide each year. If a tree is cut down, all the carbon it stored is released again.

Climate change doesn't mean the temperature grows warmer, you could even have a colder summer than usual but its just that the average climate is changing faster, too fast that the animals won't be able to adapt and eventually get extinct.

Depending on not renewable resources such as coals and fossil fuels which release a lot of carbon.

Having a warmer climate means that there is more energy. This means that there will be stronger hurricanes, more severe rain and many other.

The climate change would go too fast that animal cant adapt and get extinct one by one.

Animals/Creatures especially the ones in the sea will receive too much sunlight. eg. the coral reefs got too much heat that many of them died. This will cause a series of chain effect. the coral reed image

Too much of these can cause climate change

AKA climate change. When the average temperature across the entire planet increases rapidly.

Humans currently cleat 35 billion tons of carbon dioxide. 55% of which the ocean absorbs.

Definition

Global warming is about the average temperature across the entire planet. Global warming is a change in the world's climate: the pattern of weather over long periods. images

Not renewable energy image

Energy that isn't sustainable and hurts the environment eg. fossil fuel and coals.

Atmosphere

A layer of gas that has green house gas in , which has a role of trapping heat.
