Awareness

1. Air Pollution:  Air Pollution is a very big deal, 4.2 million people die every year from exposure to the outdoor air pollution in their city/town. Air pollution kills an estimated seven million people worldwide every year. The data shows that 9 out of 10 people breathe air containing high levels of pollutants.

https://www.who.int/health-topics/air-pollution#tab=tab_1

1. Plastic: Plastic is everywhere, the danger to plastic is in our oceans all over the world, turtles, fishes, sharks and whales are eating our plastic that some people dump in the oceans. Some plastic you will find in our sea shores. To improve and have less plastic bags our supermarket is using recycled bags.

https://oceanconservancy.org/trash-free-seas/plastics-in-the-ocean/

1. Trees: Trees are important for humans, without trees humans wouldn’t be alive. Trees gives out air that we breathe, why are we destroying them? People are destroying trees because of two things, land and money. It’s mostly because of money, solution every tree you destroy plant seeds so trees can grow again.

With plastic bags being phased out from Kiwi supermarkets one woman thinks she has the perfect solution to replace them with an environmentally friendly alternative.

Jasmine Teei thinks that Māori woven flax bags called kete are the perfect answer.

"They're reusable, they're 100 per cent natural, anybody can make it, it's free and when you're done with it you simply bury it and use it to plant," Ms Teei told TVNZ1's Seven Sharp.

Kete were used for centuries before plastic was even created and have always been valued in Māori culture..

"Everyone is so caught up in material plastics they have forgotten about the real stuff, which is our natural resources," Ms Teei said.

Countdown supermarket says it's looking into the kete solution.

"What I really like about it is it's natural and its part of our culture, they're reusable and best of all they're not plastic.

"We do have options available at this stage, but if there is an opening and Kiwis want them we will consider it," Countdown's Kiri Hannifin said.

1) PLASTIC has been Polluting the oceans with single use plastic items that is killing millions of animals every year. People can help stop this by bringing their own bags to the supermarket and buy metal water bottles.

2.) CARBON has been polluting the atmosphere with small things like cars and busses burning fuel. Hybrids are a cheap and sustainable alternative.

3) DEFORESTATION is destroying and killing animals and their homes. A way we could fix this is by getting people to donate money to charities to help them find new ways to control the fires that burn down the forests.

1. Carbon pollution is affecting the climate and affecting the state of the earth. An affect example climate change is melting Antartica raising sea levels and ultimately going to drown cities. The alternative. is electric vehicles or hybrids as hybrids is still something of the future and not something available in a mass production right now.

2. The coral reefs of the sea or being fished and thrown back into sea dead. Affect is that the reefs are a living thing in the sea and is the sea bed and home for animals. Solution like the Caribbean Government has, sink ships and cars to creat erosion to attract coral life.

3. Destroying  old broken abandoned buildings. Affect the buildings being destroyed bring more buildings. Solution- it may nor seem like a problem but old buildings like coral reefs getting attracted by erosions the sam applies for the old buildings.

1)Global warming: if global warming keeps on going, it can be a big threat to forests by causing wildfires, and damaging the wildlife and forests. One way we could stop this is to stop factories pumping out carbon emissions into the air.

2) Deforestation: it knocks down all of our native species’ habitats, and is/will be a big factor for the possible extinction of native species. An alternative could be that deforestation companies could replant seeds of trees after they cut them down, or they could not cut down trees where native animals breed/live.
3) human population: if the population keeps on growing, we will have to provide for more people and if we keep on living the same lifestyle, the consequences on the environment will be bad. An alternative could be to change the lifestyle of living, or do something like copy chinas 1 child policy

Overview

In the United States, forests occupy approximately 740 million acres, about one third of the country's total land area. America's forests provide many benefits and services to society, including clean water and air, recreation, wildlife habitat, carbon storage, climate regulation, and a variety of forest products. Climate influences the structure and function of forest ecosystems and plays an essential role in forest health. A changing climate may worsen many of the threats to forests, such as pest outbreaks, fires, human development, and drought.

Climate changes directly and indirectly affect the growth and productivity of forests through changes in temperature, rainfall, weather, and other factors. In addition, elevated levels of carbon dioxide have an effect on plant growth. These changes influence complex forest ecosystems in many ways.

In conjunction with the projected impacts of climate change, forests face impacts from land development, suppression of natural periodic forest fires, and air pollution. Although it is difficult to separate the effects of these different factors, the combined impact is already leading to changes in our forests. As these changes are likely to continue in the decades ahead, some of the valuable goods and services provided by forests may be compromised. To learn more about examples of projected regional changes in forests, see the Northeast, Southeast, Southwest, and Alaska regional impacts pages.

Impacts on Forest Growth and Productivity

Many aspects related to climate change are likely to affect forest growth and productivity. Three examples are described below: increases in temperature, changes in precipitation, and increases in carbon dioxide (CO ₂).

Warming temperatures generally increase the length of the growing season. It also shifts the geographic ranges of some tree species. Habitats of some types of trees are likely to move north or to higher altitudes. Other species will be at risk locally or regionally if conditions in their current geographic ranges are no longer suitable. For example, species that currently exist only on mountaintops in some regions may die out as the climate warms since they cannot shift to a higher altitude.

Climate change will likely increase the risk of drought in some areas and the risk of extreme precipitation and flooding in others. Increased temperatures alter the timing of snowmelt, affecting the seasonal availability of water. Although many trees are resilient to some degree of drought, increases in temperature could make future droughts more damaging than those experienced in the past. In addition, drought increases wildfire risk, since dry trees and shrubs provide fuel to fires. Drought also reduces trees' ability to produce sap, which protects them from destructive insects such as pine beetles.

Carbon dioxide is required for photosynthesis, the process by which green plants use sunlight to grow. Given sufficient water and nutrients, increases in atmospheric CO₂ may enable trees to be more productive, which may change the distribution of tree species. Growth will be highest in nutrient-rich soils with no water limitation, and will decrease with decreasing fertility and water supply.

Impacts of Disturbances

Climate change could alter the frequency and intensity of forest disturbances such as insect outbreaks, invasive species, wildfires, and storms. These disturbances can reduce forest productivity and change the distribution of tree species. In some cases, forests can recover from a disturbance. In other cases, existing species may shift their range or die out. In these cases, the new species of vegetation that colonize the area create a new type of forest.

Insect outbreaks often defoliate, weaken, and kill trees. For example, by 2007, pine beetles had damaged more than 650,000 acres of forest in Colorado and spruce beetles had damaged more than 3.7 million acres in southern Alaska and western Canada. The hemlock woolly adelgid, an invasive species that is sensitive to cold weather and destroys Eastern hemlock, will likely extend its habitat north as the climate warms. A lack of natural controls, such as predators or pathogens, as well as inadequate defenses in trees, can allow insects to spread. Climate change could contribute to an increase in the severity of future insect outbreaks. Rising temperatures may enable some insect species to develop faster, alter their seasonal life cycles, and expand their ranges northward. Invasive plant species can displace important native vegetation because the invasive species often lack natural predators. Climate change could benefit invasive plants that are more tolerant the environmental conditions resulting from climate change than are native plants.

In 2011, wildfires consumed more than 8 million acres of forest in the U.S. (an area roughly the size of Maryland), causing 15 deaths and more than $1.9 billion in damages. Warm temperatures and drought conditions during the early summer contributed to this event. Climate change is projected to increase the extent, intensity, and frequency of wildfires in certain areas of the country. Warmer spring and summer temperatures, coupled with decreases in water availability, dry out woody materials in forests and increase the risk of wildfire. Fires can also contribute to climate change, since they can cause rapid, large releases of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.

Hurricanes, ice storms, and wind storms can cause damage to forests. Hurricanes Rita and Katrina in 2005 damaged a total of 5,500 acres of forest. The amount of carbon released by these trees as they decay is roughly equivalent to the net amount of carbon sequestered by all U.S. forests in a single year.

Case Study: Effects of Climate Change on Rocky Mountain National Park Forests

Disturbances can interact with one another, or with changes in temperature and precipitation, to increase risks to forests. For example, drought can weaken trees and make a forest more susceptible to wildfire or insect outbreaks. Similarly, wildfire can make a forest more vulnerable to pests. The combination of drought and outbreaks of beetles has damaged piñon pine forests in the Southwest.

1) Plastic is affecting waterways everywhere like oceans, rivers and lakes. Plastic has been found in the deepest parts of the ocean, and in places like India and Malaysia so many plastic bottles and bags are found in the rivers and ocean it blocks sewer systems, makes the water dirty and full of bacteria and kills hundreds of fish and birds. New Zealand banning plastic bags is great for the environment and one step to a brighter future.

2) Carbon monoxide and Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is where global warming stems from. The Carbon dioxide and Monoxide absorbs the heat from the sun creating a greenhouse affect that heats the earth up and melts polar regions, kills coral reefs and displaces animals from there habitat. But now due to the COVID-19 virus and the entire world stopping, carbon pollution has dramatically decreased.

3) The Great Barrier Reef is very famous and is a wonder of the world. But its dying, coral reefs are living breathing things. The Earth heating up is killing the reef,  fishing company’s using huge nets that drag on the sea floor cutting and ripping the coral out of the ground killing coral and fish. This affects many things like fishes having no where to live and it removes on of the most spectacular sights in nature.
