8. What are ways to reduce climate change?

# data[].attributes.body
There are many ways to reduce climate change and even the slightest change can lead to a great impact! Here are a list of ways to reduce climate change:

Switch to LED lightbulbs

Recycle and Reuse

Reduce carbon dioxide emission

Use rechargeable battery powered cars

Don't drink bottled water

Compost your food

Take public transit or use a bike

Bring your own shopping bag

These are just a few of the many things you can do to reduce climate change.

7. How is climate change affecting Our lives?

# data[].attributes.body
Climate change doesn’t only affect the environment but also us. We are affected in many ways, some more than others depending on where they live. First and most important climate change is impacting our health in many negative ways. Human produced carbon dioxide from factories and fossil fuel emissions that lead to air pollution can lead to respiratory diseases such as asthma in children and adults. Carbon emissions damage the human body and the mind. Warmer temperatures can increase issues in mental health such as anxiety, stress and PTSD by 2%.  People that live in coastal communities are affected in a negative way. As I mentioned more ice is melting producing more water leading the sea to rise 7-8 inches on average. The added volume can lead to flooding, forcing residents to move immediately.

6. How Does The Albedo Effect Impact Climate Change?

# data[].attributes.body
Albedo has a significant effect on our climate. When the earth’s temperature increases or decreases it affects an important feedback loop known as the albedo effect. Albedo is a measure of how much of the sun's radiation is reflected by the surface. The order of our planet’s albedo in order are fresh snow, clouds, sand, forest and water. This means that fresh snow/ice reflect the most sunlight due to it’s bright and white color. Currently what is happening right now is the albedo effect warming. As we know more and more ice are melting causing less of the sun’s radiation is reflected by the ice resulting in an increase of  temperature.

5. How Is Climate Change Affecting The Environment?

# data[].attributes.body
Climate change has negatively affected the earth in many ways. Since the level of global warming has risen over the past years, and we can all see the observable effects it has on the environment. As the earth is getting hotter each year, more ice is melting causing more heat to be trapped due to ice/snow having a high albedo effect. Also as the temperature gets warmer, more land ice and glaciers are melting causing more water to flow into the ocean causing sea levels to rise and expand into our shores. When C02 is absorbed into the ocean from the atmosphere it reacts with seawater to produce carbonic acid, making the oceans more acidic. The excess C02 we emit from human activities are absorbed by the ocean leading to ocean acidification as it dissolves into the world’s oceans. The environment is impacted in many different ways the weather is becoming more extreme with extreme heat waves, violent storms, extreme weather events, plant and animal ranges have shifted and trees are flowering sooner.

4. What Are Ways To Remove Carbon Pollution?

# data[].attributes.body
There are many ways to remove carbon pollution. Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide naturally and trees store the carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere from photosynthesis. We could expand forest, restore existing forest and manage the forests. This way the more trees we have the more carbon is stored and is removed from the atmosphere. A conflict with this solution is if we reforest farmland it would reduce the supply of food. Soils also stores carbon naturally, however due to intensive use of agriculture soil they have a shortage. Increasing carbon soil could be impactful even by a little.

There are many reasons why carbon dioxide is important. It plays many roles in the earth and in our lives. One reason carbon dioxide is important because it keeps the earth from freezing. When solar energy radiates from the earth greenhouse gasses mainly carbon dioxide traps and holds the energy. Keeping this energy trapped in the atmosphere keeps the earth heated. Carbon dioxide is important because it is crucial for all living things. Humans and animals depend on plants for food and oxygen and to produce food and oxygen plants go through a process called photosynthesis. For photosynthesis to work carbon dioxide is needed. Carbon dioxide also is used as a coolant. Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers are used to get rid of electrical and oil fires that water cannot put out. Carbon dioxide is more dense than air and does not catch on fire.

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that is colourless with a sharp odour and a sour taste. This gas can be produced in many ways such as the combustion of carbon-containing materials, respiration of animals, and photosynthesis of carbohydrates. Foaming that occurs during manufacturing beer and wine is a process called “fermentation”, it also is another way of producing carbon dioxide. The chemical equation for carbon dioxide consists of one carbon and two oxygens.

Carbon + oxygen -> Carbon dioxide
