How does/will global warming affect us? NK

# data[].attributes.body
Global warming is already showing us how it will affect our lives, the earth itself is warming, rainfall patterns are changing, and sea levels are rising due to icebergs melting, these factors can cause catastrophic disasters like heavy flooding, droughts, and heatwaves. With the increase of air pollutants and rising temperatures there comes health issues, prolonged exposure to air pollutants can cause chronic conditions like cardiovascular and respiratory diseases for example lung cancer. Rising temperatures can affect the agriculture of the world as the land can be affected by the temperature and can be too dry to grow food.

Though we often think about human-induced climate change as something that will happen in the future, it is an ongoing process. Ecosystems and communities in the United States and around the world are being impacted today.

1.       Burning of Fossil Fuels: The burning of coal, oil, and gas for energy releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, trapping heat and causing the planet to warm.

2.       Deforestation: Forests absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in their biomass. When forests are cleared, this carbon is released back into the atmosphere.

3.       Agriculture: Livestock farming and rice cultivation are major sources of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Fertilizers used in agriculture also release nitrous oxide, another potent greenhouse gas.

How to reduce Global Warming - LP

Use more renewable energy sources to create power

Use less polluting modes of transportation E.G. Trains, Buses

Eat less meat. Livestock pollutes more and uses more land than plant based food

Save energy by turning electronics off such as lights and computers when youre not using them

Instead of using a vehicle walk to nearby places

What are 3 causes of global warming?

1. Greenhouses gasses – gasses in the atmosphere act like a glass in a greenhouse which traps heat from the sun and stopping it leaving the earth

2. Manufacturing goods – manufacturing goods cause global warming by burning fossil fuels to production more energy for making goods like clothes, plastics and electronics.

3. Transportation – transportation is a major cause of global warming, most vehicles run on fossil fuels as it releases carbon dioxide emissions.

Recycling

Drive less to reduce the amount of CO2

Plant a tree – trees absorb carbon dioxide

Turning off electronic devices

Avoid products that has a lot of packaging

Global warming, the result of human-made greenhouse gas emissions, is leading to rising temperatures and severe environmental and societal impacts such as sea-level rise, more frequent and severe weather events, and loss of biodiversity. The primary sources of these emissions are human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and agriculture. The consequences of global warming are already being felt around the world, with coastal flooding and erosion, droughts, wildfires, and melting Arctic Sea ice being just a few examples. These effects pose significant risks to human health.

Global warming is the change in the Earth’s climate due to the greenhouse gases that come from human activities which in turn greatly affect our surrounding environment.
