Extreme weather patterns because of climate change has accounted for 10% less crops harvested each year and also Co2 removes some nutritional value of crops

- CO2 accounts for approximately 80.9% of all greenhouse gases.
- In the U.S, greenhouse gases have increased by 9% over the past 24 years.

Greenhouse Gases include:
- Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
- Methane (CH4)
- Nitrous Oxide (N2O)
- Fluoride Gases

In the lower atmosphere near the Earth’s surface, ozone is created by chemical reactions between air pollutants from vehicle exhaust, gasoline vapors, and other emissions.  High concentrations of ozone near the ground level can be catastrophic. It can make asthma worse and can cause lung diseases such as bronchitis, and even lung cancer. Others include cough, throat irritation, pain, burning, or discomfort in the chest when taking a deep breath, chest tightness, wheezing, and shortness of breath.

We want to address and solve the effects and the issue of high concentrations of ozone at the lower atmospheres of earth, particularly in rural areas. Though the ozone layer blocks earth from harmful radiations, it serves as a threat towards plants and the ecosystem in general. The man-made ozone layer, as the name implies, is made from pollution and solving the man-made ozone layer could possibly reduce the amount of pollution being sent into the atmosphere.

The leading causes of climate change currently are coming from methane from decomposition in landfills and also from cattle. Another leading cause is burning fossil fuels for energy for our houses and cars. Another leading cause of climate change is Water vapor. water vapor is a natural greenhouse gas that increases when the temperature increases and also creates more rain and clouds.

Within the past 70 years, the parts per million in the atmosphere has gone from about 280 parts per million to about 380-400 parts per million of CO2, and 2.5 million pounds are released each second.

As the CO2 concentrations increase in the atmosphere, it traps the heat from the sun in the earth, causing the global climate to rise.

When CO2 is sent into the atmosphere, besides trapping heat into earth, it takes a long time for it to deteriorate, ensuring that the increase in climate lasts.

Due to human activity, chlorine and bromine chemical reactions have caused a depletion of the concentration of ozone in the ozone layer.

A large segment of the ozone layer has disappeared, creating a hole in the layer and exposing earth to harmful radiations.
