Weather refers to the short term atmospheric conditions. While climate is the long term pattern of weather in a specific area.

The ‘greenhouse effect’ is when the atmosphere traps heat radiating from Earth toward space. Certain gases resemble glass in this effect, which allows sunlight to pass into the greenhouse but blocks Earths heat from escaping, so it ends up trapped in the atmosphere. This causes the earth to heat up since the heat cant escape.

I believe this is the most severe effect of global warming

Oceans absorb a lot of CO2, which is emitted into the atmosphere by human activities. When the CO2 dissolves into the water the water becomes more acidic. Pollution also causes more acid in the ocean from the absorption of CO2.

Effects of ocean acidification:
-alters to the marine food chain
-decreased storm protector from reefs
-human health from consuming contaminated shellfish or fish

Sustainable cities are designed to address social, environmental and economic impact through urban planning and city management. Many of the cities have achieved being eco-friendly by doing simple things such as adopting walk and bike lanes. Regulations and fines have also achieved changed along with waste removal orders to reduce landfill waste. Traditional cities are built around different things, they may have these things, but they aren’t there to achieve a certain thing.
Green agriculture is focused to use renewable energy, zero tillage, biotechnology, organic farming and other things having to do with these topics. Traditional farming doesn’t focus on doing things to help the environment and they still do things that cause damage to the environment.
Denmark is considered to be the “greenest country in the world” because they exceed in every indicator of being eco-friendly. They strive to improve air quality, advanced sanitation, and safe drinking water.

You can turn a broken picture frame into an earring holder. If the glass is broken, remove it and keep the base. Run some type of wire across the frame. And then hang your earrings on it and you have a new earring holder.

I learned throughout this that the amount of CO2 is going up a lot.

Both volcanoes and wildfires are considered carbon sinks because the source, a volcano and forest, hold a large amount of carbon dioxide at once. Then when the volcano erupts or the forest catches on fire, they emit a large amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Volcanoes and wildfires produce a large amount of greenhouse gases because they produce large amounts of carbon dioxide at once, which gets trapped in the atmosphere, so then it heats the earth up and becomes a greenhouse gas since it can’t escape.

Love canal, located near Niagara Falls in upstate New York, happened to sit on top of 21,000 tons of toxic industrial waste. Over the years, the waste began to bubble up into backyards and cellars. By 1978, the problem was unavoidable, and hundreds of families sold their houses to the federal government and evacuated the area. The disaster led to the formation of the 1980 of the superfund program, which helps pay for the cleanup of toxic sites.
A scenario like this in the future would be prevented by making sure that nothing was underneath the canal before it was built, and make sure everyone knows not to burry waste around it.

The Chernobyl disaster was a nuclear accident that occurred on April 26th, 1986 at the No. 4 reactor in the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. A flawed reactor design was operated with inadequately trained personnel. The resulting steam explosion and fires released at least 5% of the radioactive reactor core into the environment.
A scenario like this to be prevented in the future would be prevented by making sure whoever was working on a reactor was properly trained and knew how to operate on them.

The Wilderness Protection Act was passed to preserve and protect certain lands “in their natural condition”. This law directs federal land management agencies, including NPS, to manage these wilderness areas and preserve wilderness character. This is important because we need to keep our wilderness around since they provide positive benefits for our environment and our health.
This act was passed on September 3rd 1964. It was intended to protect our wilderness around the country.

The Water Quality Act of 1965 required states to issue water quality standards for interstate waters. This was done to prevent toxic pollutants which interfere with designated water use. This is important so that we don’t have any pollutants enter our water ways and eliminate our water sources.
This was established in 1965 and was intended to protect our countries water.

The endangered species act provides for the conservation of ecosystems where threatened and endangered species of fish, wildlife, and plants thrive. This is important because we need to keep every fish, wildlife, and plant alive.
This act was passed in 1973 and was intended to protect endangered species.

The Taylor Grazing Act is a United States federal law that provides protection for the regulation of grading on the public lands to improve rangeland conditions and regulate their use. This is important because we need grazing land for the animals we eat and for other things that the land is used for.
This act was established on June 28th, 1934 and was intended to protect our countries grazing land.

The National Conservation Commission was appointed on June 8th 1908 by President Theodore Roosevelt and consisted of representatives of the United States congress and relevant executive agency technocrats.  The National Conservation Commission was divided into four sections, water, forests, lands, and minerals. These were managed to make sure that we wouldn’t overuse our natural resources and to take care of what we had of them.

The United States forest services was started on February 1st 1905 by President Theodore Roosevelt. This service manages public lands in the national forests and grasslands. This is also the largest foresters research organization in the world, that provides technical and financial assistance to the State and private forest agencies.

Conservation is associated with the protection of natural resources, while preservation is associated with the protection of buildings, objects, and landscapes.
Zoologists and wildlife biologists study animals and other wildlife and how they interact with their ecosystems. They study the physical characteristics of animals, animal behaviors, and the impacts humans have on wildlife and natural habitats.
Sustainability specialists are professionals who are responsible for designing and executing programs on energy and resource conservation that will reduce the impact of an organization on the environment.
