turning of the lights when you are not home, or plugging out computers and TV's are some of the ways you can be energy efficient. Using less- or more environmentally friendly energy or electricity is good for the environment because much of today's electricity is made through burning fossil fuels like coal.

Donald trump does not believe climate change is man made, he believes that climate change is naturally occurring according to his campaign manager. Unlike Clinton he does not want to uphold the Paris treaty. in 2012 he also tweeted that he believe climate change was a hoax made by the Chinese government in order to make U.S manufacturing non-competitive.

Hillary Clinton things climate change si an urgent threat which may implement that she takes the environmental issues very seriously. She wants to uphold the Paris treaty, and make efforts to slow down and reverse the extinction of species caused by the climate changes. Hillary Clinton believes climate change is man made

The global temperatures has been rising in a much faster rate than natural climate changes are able to cause. the natural climate changes are unable to cause such a big change in temperature on their own, thus human activity must contribute to these changes. According to William Happer, professor at Princeton university, additional co2 emissions will not affect the average global temperature. That is because there is already so much co2 in the atmosphere, and the co2 has blocked most of the infrared radiation possible.

The rise of atmospheric levels of co2 must be man made because the rise in co2 levels occurred in a faster rate than natural climate change is able to produce. The atmospheric level of co2 did not surpass 300ppm in the last 650 000 years. This changed in the mid 1900's. The level of co2 has risen from 317ppm in 1958 to 400ppm in 2013. However, the earth's climate record can show that global warming has preceded a rise in co2. Former director of Greenpeace, Patric Moore said; " there is some correlation, but little evidence to support a direct casual relationship between co2 and global temperature through the millennia".

The Anderegg study from 2010 found that 97%-98% of climate researchers believed climate change was real. The cook review of 2013 found that only 78 studies (0.7%) rejected that climate change is man made. However, more than a thousand climate scientists do not believe that human activity is the primary source of the climate change. Amongst those scientist are several former UN IPPC scientists.

As sunlight hits the earth's atmosphere, most of it absorbed by our planet's surface, while some of it is reflected back into space as low-frequency infrared light. Because of earth's natural amount of CO2 in it's atmosphere, som of the reflected light is trapped by said CO2 which prevents it from escaping into space and thus warms the planet further. Pro-climate change activists claim that since 1751, 337 billion metric tons of CO2 has been released into the atmosphere as part of fossil fuel burning. They argue that the atmospheric CO2-levels have risen from the preindustrial 280 ppm (parts per million) to 400 in 2013.

On the other hand, skeptics argue that the temperature fluctuation we see today is natural, since the earth's climate has always warmed and cooled. A study from 2003 by the Harvard-Smithsonian center for Astrophysics found that "many records reveal that the 20th century is probably not the warmest nor a uniquely extreme climatic period of the last millennium."

Steadily increasing global temperatures will likely increase the levels of our oceans due to the melting of land ice on Greenland and Antarctica, and also because water expands when heated. A temperature increase as low as 4 degrees can increase the ocean levels by several meters.

Because of the big climate changes some parts of the world, like the antarctic,  will experience, many species are endangered. Some species might not be able to adapt to the changes, and are thus in danger to go extinct.

Our forests will suffer at the hands of climate change, but will also engage our planet in furthering climate change and global warming. Sub-arctic forests are likely to be badly affected by climate change, and tree-lines will recede north as temperatures rise.

Our rainforests will suffer from high levels of extinction, and as trees begin to wither due to rising temperatures, CO2 emissions will increase, resulting in a runaway greenhouse effect.

Our global economic system is dependant on clean water, fresh air and a stable climate. With climate change comes vast economic and personal costs due to natural catastrophes, famines and so on. This is further illustrated in the video below

One consequences of climate change is higher temperatures, which lead to more extreme weather. with the global warming, stronger storms, more draught, heavier downpours and more frequent heatwaves are expected.

As the sunlight from our sun reaches earth, some of it is absorbed, while some is reflected back into space. The amount of absorbed and reflected sunlight depends on the Earth's atmosphere and surface; light-colored surfaces like snow and clouds reflect more sunlight, where as oceans and forests absorb it instead. This amount of absorbed and reflected sunlight is referred to as "albedo".

When burning fossile fuels, like oil and coal, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere of the earth. Since carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, the emission of it affects the greenhouse effect.

Our own star, due to changes in it's core, can affect the intensity of the sunlight that reaches Earth, thus affecting our climate

Nature episodically initiates processes that affect our planet's climate. Here are some:

Large scale volcanic eruptions are known for having a powerful impact on our climate. Eruptions like the one at Lake Toba approximately 77 thousand years ago clouded the earth's atmosphere with ash for decades, killing massive amounts of flora and fauna in the process

The greenhouse effect describes how the warmth of the sun is being trapped in the lower atmosphere of the earth.The greenhouse gases contribute to the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse gases absorb the infrared radiation from the sun, and further on send radiation back to the planet's surface. The greenhouse gases are essential for life on earth, however they become a problem when humans emit excessive greenhouse gasses, like carbon dioxide, through using fossil fuels. With excessive greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, more of the sun's warmth will be trapped, which will lead to global warming.
