-My issue is about the rising sea levels and sinking islands
-Although I don't have a specific experience related to this issue, I have been afraid of sinking island ever since I was little. Whenever I travel around Indonesia, I often visit beaches or small islands, and to think that they might be all swallowed by the sea makes me very unsettled
-Not only will animals loose their habitats, action needs to be taken upon this issue (especially in Indonesia) because Jakarta is the fastest-sinking city in the world. If Jakarta sinks, millions of people will loose their homes

The Indonesian capital of Jakarta is home to 10 million people but it is also one of the fastest-sinking cities in the world. If this goes unchecked, parts of the megacity could be entirely submerged by 20 5 0, say researchers. Is it too late?

It sits on swampy land, the Java Sea lapping against it, and 13 rivers running through it. So it shouldn't be a surprise that flooding is frequent in Jakarta and, according to experts, it is getting worse. But it's not just about freak floods, this massive city is literally disappearing into the ground.

"The potential for Jakarta to be submerged isn't a laughing matter," says Heri Andreas, who has studied Jakarta's land subsidence for the past 20 years at the Bandung Institute of Technology.

"If we look at our models, by 2050 about 95% of North Jakarta will be submerged."

It's already happening - North Jakarta has sunk 2.5m in 10 years and is continuing to sink by as much as 25cm a year in some parts, which is more than double the global average for coastal megacities.

Jakarta is sinking by an average of 1-15cm a year and almost half the city now sits below sea level.

The impact is immediately apparent in North Jakarta.

In the district of Muara Baru, an entire office building lies abandoned. It once housed a fishing company but the first-floor veranda is the only functional part left.

The submerged ground floor is full of stagnant floodwater. The land around it is higher so the water has nowhere to go. Buildings that are so deeply sunk are rarely abandoned like this, because most of the time the owners will try to fix, rebuild and find short-term remedies for the issue. But what they can't do is stop the soil sucking this part of the city down.

An open air fish market is just a five-minute drive away.

"The walkways are like waves, curving up and down, people can trip and fall," says Ridwan, a Muara Baru resident who often visits the fish market. As the water levels underground are being depleted, the very ground market-goers walk on is sinking and shifting, creating an uneven and unstable surface.

"Year after year, the ground has just kept sinking," he said, just one of many inhabitants of this quarter alarmed at what is happening to the neighbourhood.

North Jakarta has historically been a port city and even today it houses one of Indonesia's busiest sea ports, Tanjung Priok. Its strategic location where the Ciliwung river flows into the Java Sea was one of the reasons why Dutch colonists chose to make it their bustling hub in the 17th Century.

Today 1.8 million people live in the municipality, a curious mixture of fading port businesses, poor coastal communities and a substantial population of wealthy Chinese Indonesians.

Fortuna Sophia lives in a luxurious villa with a sea view. The sinking of her home is not immediately visible but she says cracks appear in the walls and pillars every six months.

"We just have to keep fixing it," she says, standing beside her swimming pool with her private dock just a few metres away. "The maintenance men say the cracks are caused by the shifting of the ground."

She's lived here for four years but it has already flooded several times: "The seawater flows in and covers the swimming pool entirely. We have to move all our furniture up to the first floor."

But the impact on the small homes right by the sea is magnified. Residents who once had a sea view now see only a dull grey dyke, built and rebuilt in a valiant attempt to keep seawater out.

"Every year the tide gets about 5cm higher," Mahardi, a fisherman, said.

None of this has deterred the property developers. More and more luxury apartments dot the North Jakarta skyline regardless of the risks. The head of the advisory council for Indonesia's Association of Housing Development, Eddy Ganefo, says he has urged the government to halt further development here. But, he says, "so long as we can sell apartments, development will continue".

The rest of Jakarta is also sinking, albeit at a slower rate. In West Jakarta, the ground is sinking by as much as 15cm annually, by 10cm annually in the east, 2cm in Central Jakarta and just 1cm in South Jakarta.

Coastal cities across the world are affected because of rising sea levels caused by climate change. Increased sea levels occur because of thermal expansion - the water expanding because of extra heat - and the melting of polar ice. The speed at which Jakarta is sinking is alarming experts.

It may seem surprising but there are few complaints from Jakartans because for residents here the subsidence is just one among a myriad of infrastructure challenges they have to deal with daily.

And that is part of the story of why this is happening.

The dramatic rate at which Jakarta is sinking is partly down to the excessive extraction of groundwater for use as drinking water, for bathing and other everyday purposes by city dwellers. Piped water isn't reliable or available in most areas so people have no choice but to resort to pumping water from the aquifers deep underground.

But when groundwater is pumped out, the land above it sinks as if it is sitting on a deflating balloon - and this leads to land subsidence.

The situation is exacerbated by lax regulation allowing just about anyone, from individual homeowners to massive shopping mall operators, to carry out their own groundwater extractions.

"Everyone has a right, from residents to industries, to use groundwater so long as this is regulated," says Heri Andreas. The problem is that they take more than what is allowed.

People say they have no choice when the authorities are unable to meet their water needs and experts confirm that water management authorities can only meet 40% of Jakarta's demand for water.

A landlord in central Jakarta, known only as Hendri, runs a dormitory-like block called a kos-kosan and has been pumping his own groundwater for 10 years to supply tenants. He is one of many on his street who do this.

"It's better to use our own groundwater rather than relying on the authorities. A kos-kosan like this needs a lot of water."

The local government has only recently admitted it has a problem with illegal groundwater extraction.

In May, the Jakarta city authority inspected 80 buildings in Central Jakarta's Jalan Thamrin, a road lined with skyscrapers, shopping malls and hotels. It found that 56 buildings had their own groundwater pump and 33 were extracting water illegally.

Jakarta's Governor Anies Baswedan says everyone should have a licence, which will enable the authorities to measure how much groundwater is being extracted. Those without a licence will have their building-worthiness certificate revoked, as would other businesses in the same building.

Authorities are also hoping that the Great Garuda, a 32km outer sea wall being built across Jakarta Bay along with 17 artificial islands, will help rescue the sinking city - at a cost of about $40bn.

It's being supported by the Dutch and South Korean governments and creates an artificial lagoon in which water levels can be lowered to allow the city's rivers to drain. It will help with the flooding which is an issue when the rains come.

But three Dutch non-profit groups released a report in 2017 which cast doubt on whether the sea wall and artificial islands could solve Jakarta's subsidence problem.

Jan Jaap Brinkman, a hydrologist with the Dutch water research institute Deltares, argues it can only ever be an interim measure. He says it will only buy Jakarta an extra 20-30 years to stop the long-term subsidence.

"There is only one solution and everybody knows the solution," he says.

That would be to halt all groundwater extraction and solely rely on other sources of water, such as rain or river water or piped water from man-made reservoirs. He says Jakarta must do this by 2050 to avoid major subsidence.

It is not a message that is being taken to heart yet and Jakarta's Governor Anies Baswedan thinks a less drastic measure will do.

He says people should be able to extract groundwater legally as long as they replace it using something called the biopori method.

This involves digging a hole, 10cm in diameter and 100cm deep, into the ground to allow water to be reabsorbed into the soil.

Critics say this scheme would only replace water at a superficial level, whereas in Jakarta water is often pumped out from several hundred metres below ground level.

There is technology to replace groundwater deep at its source but it's extremely expensive. Tokyo used this method, known as artificial recharge, when it faced severe land subsidence 50 years ago. The government also restricted groundwater extraction and businesses were required to use reclaimed water. Land subsidence subsequently halted.

But Jakarta needs alternative water sources for that to work. Heri Andreas, from Bandung Institute of Technology, says it could take up to 10 years to clean up the rivers, dams and lakes to allow water to be piped anywhere or used as a replacement for the aquifers deep underground.

Jakarta's residents adopt a somewhat fatalistic attitude to their future in this sinking city.

"Living here is a risk," says Sophia Fortuna in her home. "The people here have all accepted that risk."

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A recent study has identified Jakarta as among the world's major metropolitan areas on the brink of sinking as a result of rising sea levels and extreme weather caused by climate change.

Global strategic and risk consulting company Verisk Maplecroft reported in its 2020 Environmental Risk Outlook issued on Thursday that 11 of the 15 cities most at-risk of sinking are Asian cities that are significant financial and trade centers, including Jakarta, which is especially threatened due to its location in the lowlands.

The company assessed sea level rise exposure to 500 cities with a population of more than 1 million people.

Aside from Jakarta, other cities labeled high risk include Guangzhou, Dongguan and Shanghai in China, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and Tokyo. Meanwhile, cities outside Asia that face the same risk are Dubai, the United Arab Emirates; Alexandria, Egypt; and New York City, the United States.

Scientists at the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated in their report last year that the sea level was rising 3.6 millimeters per year. Based on this rate, the sea level could rise between 30 and 110 centimeters by the year 2100.

However, a 60 to 110 cm rise was most likely, the IPCC said as quoted by Verisk Maplecroft, as the world remained on a path of high emissions.

Analysts Will Nichols and Rory Clisby said the risks of rising sea levels were massive and they stressed the importance of urgently addressing the issue and coming up with solutions today.

"Rising seas don't just mean more frequent flooding, but also greater damage from storms, faster rates of erosion and shrinking water resources if sea water infiltrates aquifers - not to mention the enormous cost of protecting or relocating populations, infrastructure and buildings and the disruption to business operations and supply chains," they wrote in the report.

Heavy rains have caused massive flooding in Jakarta on several occasions this year, with the most recent occurrence claiming at least nine lives and displacing thousands of others.

Indonesia, the writers argued, had taken an extraordinary step by moving its capital away from Jakarta, which generated almost a third of the country's total gross domestic product.

"[However,] Jakarta, the fourth-highest risk city globally, is slowly sinking towards current sea level as the aquifers it sits above are drained."

A study from Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) researchers on data from 1925 to 2015 concluded that significant land subsidence had affected the capital city since 1975 due to massive groundwater extraction. The researchers predicted that a large part of Jakarta will be submerged by 2050.

The ITB study also found that Jakarta subsided about 1 to 15 cm per year, making it one of the fastest-sinking cities in the world.

Nichols and Clisby said more advanced nations should have the resources and ability to take financial steps to reduce the climate problem. However, other countries and regions, such as India, North Africa and Southeast Asia, had a limited capacity, the writers argued.

"For lower income nations, reacting to rising sea levels will take time and investment, drawing funding away from other development priorities," they wrote. "However, failing to prepare for sea level rise will also impact a country's investment potential and credit risk, making it more difficult to fund much-needed projects."

The analysts urged authorities to move fast in mitigating the impacts caused by the phenomenon, as "the window to stave off the worst impacts is closing, and yet investments remain well short of what is required".

"If the rates of sea level rise are accelerating as many researchers have suggested, the extent of the problems we will face this coming century could be well beyond the means of even wealthy nations to cope with." (syk)

Outside my window, a delivery van stops, its engine idling as the driver jumps out. A little cloud of exhaust fumes begins to form in the London drizzle behind the van.

In 2018, an estimated 1.8 billion consumers worldwide bought goods online, generating e-retail sales of $2.8 trillion. By 2021, this figure is expected t0 reach $4.8 trillion. Yet it is unclear what its overall impact is on the environment.

Logic suggests that one delivery to several homes would be better for the environment than several cars or several buses going to the shops, but in practice, it isn't this simple.

Earlier this year, the journalist and author Fred Pearce looked at the impact of online shopping on the environment. He found that the theoretical benefits it might have been expected to bring were offset by the big variation in consumer behaviour.

For instance, if items have to be redelivered or returned, then the carbon footprint goes up. A study in Germany showed that as many as one in three orders online were returned.

Another study, by Dimitri Weideli, categorised shoppers into three different categories: traditional shopper, cybernaut, and cybernaut impatient (demanding high-speed delivery) to try to compare the carbon footprints of different kinds of internet shopper with traditional shoppers.

The cybernaut's carbon footprint was twice as small as a traditional shopper. However, the cybernaut impatient, who always opted for faster delivery regardless of when a van was in their area, almost tripled the impact of freight transportation.

As Weideli points out, the product being produced tends to determine its carbon footprint. A lap-top will require more protective packaging than a T-shirt, and it will therefore generate greater carbon emissions.

Room For Hope

Profitability for home delivery companies is all about last mile efficiency-how cost-effectively they can travel the last mile. The last mile also tends to generate the greatest carbon emissions. A report by Bain & Company shows how retailers can lower carbon emissions by encourage shoppers to cluster purchases. By getting customers to pick up their purchases from a store-a frequent occurrence in Sweden, for instance-a locker or a gas station, emissions can be reduced.

It also helps offset the congestion in cities caused by delivery vehicles. In 2016, Researchers at the University of Delaware found that when the number of home shopping increased, so did travel time, delays and vehicle emissions from the transport network as a whole.

New Solutions to Old Problems

In the small medieval town of Sigtuna, Sweden, Carl-Magnus Norden is applying a modern solution to the age-old problem of moving heavy goods around crowded cities. Norden is CEO of Volta Trucks, which makes electric delivery vehicles. He hopes that the first prototype vehicles will be ready Summer 2020.

Norden points out that with major European cities like London expanding low emissions zones, it won't be possible for fleet operators to continue running trucks on fossil fuels.​

"According to the European Automobile Manufacturing Association, there were over six million trucks in use in the EU in 2017," he says. "Nearly all of these (95.5%) run on diesel."

Volta's trucks make 50% less noise than conventional vehicles, and don't create emissions. As there is no bulky engine, the driver's seat is in the centre of the front of the truck, with wraparound windows, sensors and cameras on all sides, which doesn't just make it more comfortable but offers the driver a wider field of vision, improving the driver's ability to spot pedestrians and cyclists.

Home grocery shopping only accounted for seven per cent of the U.K.'s online sales in 2018, but this segment is expected to increase significantly, as part of a growing global trend. Worldwide, the online grocery market is forecast to reach approximately $150 billion by 2025.

The British online grocery store Ocado is trying to become carbon-zero by 2045. it has been phasing out diesel vehicles and rolling out Compressed Natural Gas trucks fuelled by bio-methane which emit 83% less CO2 than standard diesels. Although since 2018, 98% of its electricity has come from renewable sources, 69.5% of its total emissions still come from fossil fuels.

"We have been busy working to make the Ocado business as environmentally friendly/sound as we possibly can, with everything from alternative fuelled vans, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) trucks, super light vehicles (everything stripped out to reduce payload), energy efficient buildings and even the lowest food waste figures in the industry," said a spokeswoman.

In the absence of like for like data, the company is wary of making any claims that online shopping may be better for the environment.

Amazon has revealed its corporate carbon footprint for the first time - 44.40 million metric tons of CO2 emissions. Of this, its own delivery vehicles' fossil fuels accounted for 4.70 million metric tons. Third party delivery, including packaging, amounted to 13.89 million tons. The online giant recently announced that it will be ordering 100,000 electric delivery trucks from Rivian.

All well and good, but this is still a relative drop in the ocean? Why aren't there already more electric delivery vehicles in service?

Norden believes that most of the big truck manufacturers have woken up to the shift in technology. However, he speculates, "I don't think they are giving it all they have got. I would guess that many of these larger companies are too invested in archaic technology and are perhaps afraid that producing electric trucks will hit their own core businesses."

These big companies may be able to produce an electric truck more cheaply than a startup like Volta. However, Volta's advantage is that it is focusing solely on urban logistics, rather than trying to resolve issues around long-haul electric transportation as well. This week the company will be presenting at Autonomy 2019 in Paris. "There's simply no time to lose," Norden adds.

-Melting icebergs are not the only reason and cause of rising sea-levels, the rising temperature also contributes. As the earth gets warmer, the water does too, water expands.

-Most of fresh water are stored in glaciers which are getting melted due to the climate change—many places in north america count on these glaciers for water supply and with them melting, peoples’ water supply is decreasing also

-The reason why the sea levels in Indonesia seems like it is rising faster than other countries is because the island itself might be sinking. Due to people pumping a lot of oil, natural gas or water out of the ground (which we do), the land can also sink and it’s not only the rising sea levels

-Earth receives light from the sun. As the light goes through the atmosphere, some of it becomes heat. The light and the heat hits the surface of the earth and is bounce back into space. However, with the greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere, the heat and the light, that is bounced from the earth’s surface cannot reach outer space. Their block by the greenhouse gasses and bounces back to earth

-One small change in the climate may affect and change everything. Because of climate change, places that are usually averaged temperature may get freezing cold (/snowy).

-The reason why Jakarta specifically is sinking very fast is due to the uncontrolled water pumping. How I interpreted it was: the soil is like a sponge filled with water, the more you pump water out of it, the more it’s size will decrease. So because of that, the water will seem to rise faster because the land itself is sinking.

Climate change has developed heat for the earth and now currently 417 CO2 parts has risen to the atmosphere of the earth, the global temperature has risen 1.01 °c since 1880 but now, 2021 has been tied for the 6th warmest year and it continues. Arctic sea ice has decreased 13.0 percent per decade since 1979, ice sheets ( in the poles ) has also decreased by 428 billion metric tons per year. Sea level has risen dangerously 3.4 millimeters per year, and ocean heat had increased 337 zettajoules since 1955.

https://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/

In the last 650,000 years, there has been seven cycles of glacial advance with the last ice age it's about 11,700 years ago, and it marks there where the beginning of the modern climate and human civilization. Most climate change are attributed to very small variations in earth's orbit that change the amount of solar energy our planet receive. Climate change are caused by Co2 in the atmosphere and the more CO2 in the atmosphere, it can make more heat than the sun gave us normally in the past.

Jakarta is the first to sink because of the unequal piping system and we have to find other ways to find water.

Om dino explained about how climate change is affecting the world in a bad way, just like how it is damaging the ozone layer, creating air pollution, causing rising sea levels, and traping heat.

He said that global warming is caused by greenhouse gasses in the sky that is traping the heat, that makes the earth warmer. Greenhouse gasses consist of Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous oxide and fluorinated gasses. The greenhouse gasses flow in a low pressure that makes them into one gas (A.K.A. Greenhouse gasses) that cause lung cancer, fogginess, and damaging the ozone layer, there are two types of air pollution, smog (close to ground) and higher air pollution (this type is higher of the ground.)

Recycle with GrabExpress Recycle (Langkah Daur Ulang).

Ridzki Kramadibrata, President of Grab Indonesia mengatakan, "Di Grab, kami percaya bahwa menyadari pengurangan jejak karbon dan dampak lingkungan juga sejalan dengan menciptakan peluang ekonomi bagi komunitas lokal. Kami terus mencari cara untuk mengurangi jejak karbon dan meningkatkan inisiatif keberlanjutan lingkungan kami melalui berbagai kemitraan. Program carbon offset terbaru kami yang berkolaborasi dengan Ecomatcher dan Yayasan Bumi Hijau Lestari akan memberikan kesempatan bagi kami untuk meminimalkan dampak bisnis bagi lingkungan Indonesia. "
Fitur baru untuk mengurangi emisi karbon
Bertepatan dengan Hari Bumi Sedunia, Grab meluncurkan inisiatif Langkah Menanam Pohon yang memungkinkan konsumen untuk melakukan carbon offset di dalam perjalanan Grab mereka dengan harga Rp 200,- untuk kendaraan beroda dua, dan Rp 500,- untuk kendaraan beroda empat. Melalui kemitraan Grab dengan Benihbaik.com dan EcoMatcher, kontribusi ini akan langsung disalurkan untuk penanaman pohon di Jawa Tengah yang dikelola oleh Yayasan Bumi Hijau Lestari, organisasi nirlaba yang fokus dalam memperbaharui lingkungan dan memberdayakan masyarakat lokal melalui reboisasi dan pendidikan.

Konsumen dapat berpartisipasi ( ) di inisiatif ini dalam aplikasi Grab melalui fitur Dana Tanam Pohon (Plant Tree Fund) yang baru, mulai 20 April 2021. Peluncuran penuh akan berlangsung selama 1 minggu, hingga 27 April 2021, untuk semua konsumen Grab yang menggunakan versi aplikasi terbaru yang tersedia di iOS App Store & Google Playstore.
Ekosistem Kendaraan Listrik yang diperluas untuk mengurangi emisi karbon
Grab saat ini merupakan operator kendaran listrik terbesar di Indonesia. Ekosistem kendaraan listrik ini merupakan hasil kemitraan publik-swasta yang kuat dengan pemerintah, perusahaan Badan Usaha Milik Negara (BUMN), dan produsen kendaraan listrik. Mitra Grab termasuk produsen lokal seperti Gesits, Viar, dan Selis hingga produsen multinasional seperti Hyundai, Honda, dan Kymco. Kendaraan listrik dua roda ini juga digunakan oleh Lazada untuk armada pengantaran last-mile di Jabodetabek. Infrastruktur baterai juga dibangun bersama dengan perusahaan BUMN, PLN (Perusahaan Listrik Negara) dan Pertamina, perusahaan bahan bakar BUMN untuk menghadirkan Stasiun Pengisian Kendaraan Listrik Umum (SPKLU) tersedia di SPBU Pertamina di Rawa Bokor, Jakarta.. Kerjasama tiga arah itu berupa dukungan listrik PLN dengan tarif khusus; lokasi dan izin Pertamina, aplikasi dan pengoperasian pengisian daya serta Alat Pengisian Daya Kendaraan Listrik Grab bagi pengguna kendaraan roda 4 umum untuk mengisi daya kendaraannya.

Neneng Goenadi, Country Managing Director of Grab Indonesia menambahkan, "Perjalanan kami dalam membangun ekosistem kendaraan listrik yang terintegrasi telah dimulai sejak dua tahun yang lalu. Kami sangat berterima kasih kepada dukungan yang telah diberikan dari pemerintah, perusahaan BUMN, mitra sektor swasta, dan pemain industri EV terkemuka. Kami akan menambahkan sebanyak 1,500 armada kendaraan listrik sehingga lebih banyak mitra pengemudi dan pengantaran memiliki akses kepada kendaraan listrik di platform kami."

Antara Januari 2020 hingga April 2021, sebanyak lebih 6.000 armada kendaraan listrik Grab telah membantu mengurangi emisi CO2 yang diperkirakan hingga 4.000 ton. Angka tersebut setara dengan jumlah penyerapan CO2 oleh lebih dari 190.000 pohon dalam setahun. Grab berencana untuk memulai uji coba armada kendaraan GrabBike Electric Protect di Jakarta, Bali, dan Yogyakarta mulai 22 April 2021. Pembelajaran dari uji coba ini akan menjadi dasar untuk perluasan lebih lanjut penggunaan Kendaraan Listrik untuk konsumen langsung.
Jangkauan yang diperluas untuk Grab Express Recycle
Grab terus mendorong pengurangan limbah dengan GrabExpress Recycle. Sejak 2019, Grab telah berkolaborasi secara erat dengan Danone-AQUA untuk meluncurkan GrabExpress Recycle dimana pengguna dapat dengan mudah mengirimkan li mbah bernilai ekonomis seperti botol minum dan gelas, karton, botol perawatan rumah tangga dan personal care ke mitra Bank Sampah Danone-AQUA. Sampah daur ulang ini akan dikelola dan diolah oleh Usaha Daur Ulang (RBU) lokal, termasuk AQUA.

Saat ini titik penyerahan bank sampah telah mencapai 48 titik yang terdiri dari 45 titik di DKI Jakarta, Depok, Tangerang Selatan, Tangerang dan Bekasi (Jadetabek), dan baru-baru ini ditambah dengan hadirnya 3 titik bank sampah baru di Kota Bandung sebagai bagian dari perluasan GrabExpress Recycle. Pada tahun 2021, kami akan menambah hingga 50 titik bank sampah di wilayah Jadetabek dan terus memperluas hingga 40 titik pengiriman di Bandung dalam upaya agar daur ulang lebih mudah dia kses konsumen.

Grab tetap berkomitmen untuk berkontribusi pada kelestarian lingkungan dan akan terus berkolaborasi dengan badan pemerintah, mitra strategis, pelaku bisnis, dan pembuat kebijakan melalui #LangkahHijau.

Higher temperatures are worsening many types of disasters, including storms, heat waves, floods, and droughts. A warmer climate creates an atmosphere that can collect, retain, and drop more water, changing weather patterns in such a way that wet areas become wetter and dry areas drier.

Are the Effects of Global Warming Really that Bad? - NRDC

As more water vapor is evaporated into the atmosphere it becomes fuel for more powerful storms to develop. More heat in the atmosphere and warmer ocean surface temperatures can lead to increased wind speeds in tropical storms.

Greenhouse gasses are trapping more heat in the earth's atmosphere which is causing average temperatures to rise all over the world. Higher temperatures mean that heat waves are likely to happen more often and last longer.

https://archive.epa.gov/climatechange/kids/impacts/signs/temperature.html

Increasing air temperature affects the oceans, weather patterns, snow and ice, and plants and animals. The warmer it gets, the more severe the impacts on people and the environment will be.

https://archive.epa.gov/climatechange/kids/impacts/signs/temperature.html

The ocean absorbs most of the excess heat from greenhouse gas emissions, leading to rising ocean temperatures. Increasing ocean temperatures affect marine species and ecosystems. Rising temperatures cause coral bleaching and the loss of breeding grounds for marine fishes and mammals.

Greenhouse gases are gases in earth's atmosphere that trap heat. They let sunlight pass through the atmosphere, but they prevent the heat that the sunlight brings from leaving the atmosphere.

https://climatekids.nasa.gov/greenhouse-cards/

Burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests and farming livestock adds enormous amounts of greenhouse gases to those naturally occurring in the atmosphere increasing the greenhouse effect and global warming.

The largest source of greenhouse gas emissions from human activities in the United States is from burning fossil fuels for electricity, heat, and transportation.

The main driver of climate change is the greenhouse effect. Some gases in the Earth's atmosphere act a bit like the glass in a greenhouse, trapping the sun's heat and stopping it from leaking back into space and causing global warming.

Many of these greenhouse gases occur naturally, but human activity is increasing the concentrations of some of them in the atmosphere, in particular:

CO ₂ produced by human activities is the largest contributor to global warming. By 2020, its concentration in the atmosphere had risen to 48% above its pre-industrial level (before 1750).

Other greenhouse gases are emitted by human activity in smaller quantities. Methane is a more powerful greenhouse gas than CO ₂, but has a shorter atmospheric lifetime. Nitrous oxide, like CO ₂, is a long-lived greenhouse gas that accumulates in the atmosphere over decades to centuries.

Natural causes, such as changes in solar radiation or volcanic activity are estimated to have contributed less than plus or minus 0.1°C to total warming between 1890 and 2010.
