https://padlet.com/theemiliegarrabrant/climatechange A climate change padlet that explains how the carbon cycle is involved in climate change, a video on climate change, a graphic on climate change, and how to reduce its effects on our atmosphere. en-us 2019-06-12 12:23:46 UTC 2023-01-22 13:57:28 UTC hello@padlet.com https://making-the-web.com/sites/default/files/clipart/150642/cloud-cartoon-images-150642-4549634.jpg theemiliegarrabrant https://padlet.com/theemiliegarrabrant/climatechange/wish/367162239 The facts presented in the Padlet are also in the video too, so I chose to include it.]]> 2019-06-12 12:23:46 UTC https://padlet.com/theemiliegarrabrant/climatechange/wish/367162239 theemiliegarrabrant https://padlet.com/theemiliegarrabrant/climatechange/wish/367162240 The carbon cycle is where carbon goes around the atmosphere and biosphere, hydrosphere, etc. The carbon cycle is involved in climate change because the Sun's heat going to Earth is absorbed by Carbon dioxide and radiates in all directions, adding heat to the atmosphere.]]> 2019-06-12 12:23:46 UTC https://padlet.com/theemiliegarrabrant/climatechange/wish/367162240 theemiliegarrabrant https://padlet.com/theemiliegarrabrant/climatechange/wish/367162241 Climate change is changes to Earth's weather patterns on a global/regional scale. Usually the climate changes because of increased carbon dioxide levels.]]> 2019-06-12 12:23:46 UTC https://padlet.com/theemiliegarrabrant/climatechange/wish/367162241 theemiliegarrabrant https://padlet.com/theemiliegarrabrant/climatechange/wish/367163571 We humans can reduce climate change by cutting down on what uses the most energy, by doing these:
1. Make your commute more green. Ride a bike, take public transportation, carpool.
2. Use energy wisely. Use energy-efficient light bulbs, unplug devices when not in use, hang dry your clothes.
3. Reduce your water usage. It takes less energy to clean and heat your water if there is less. Shorter showers can help.
4. Eat less pre-packaged food. 10% of the US energy is used to pack, deliver, and store those foods. More greens from local farms would be a better choice.
5. Build a clean energy economy by investing in efficient energy companies and industries to promote their cause.]]> 2019-06-12 12:31:03 UTC https://padlet.com/theemiliegarrabrant/climatechange/wish/367163571 theemiliegarrabrant https://padlet.com/theemiliegarrabrant/climatechange/wish/367182898 The graph towards the end from NASA.gov shows the decrease in area of ice sheets over the years. The ice caps in the image are melting because global temperatures have increased by 1.2 F recently.]]> 2019-06-12 13:50:20 UTC https://padlet.com/theemiliegarrabrant/climatechange/wish/367182898
