What causes it is when too many greenhouse gases enter the atmosphere. ]]> 2020-06-27 12:11:54 UTC https://padlet.com/WELOVEEARTH/LETSLEARNABOUTGLOBALWARMING/wish/641647386 WELOVEEARTH https://padlet.com/WELOVEEARTH/LETSLEARNABOUTGLOBALWARMING/wish/641647387 When a glacier or ice shelf melts it can cause sea levels to rise, which can cause more floods to happen near the ocean. ]]> 2020-06-27 12:11:54 UTC https://padlet.com/WELOVEEARTH/LETSLEARNABOUTGLOBALWARMING/wish/641647387 WELOVEEARTH https://padlet.com/WELOVEEARTH/LETSLEARNABOUTGLOBALWARMING/wish/641647389 Greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere. Here are some examples: Carbon Dioxide (CO_²), Methane, and Nitrous Oxide. There are also Fluorinated Gases (F-Gases). Twenty-two million tons of CO2 are produced each day. CO2 can stay in the atmosphere for 50-200 years!]]> 2020-06-27 12:11:54 UTC https://padlet.com/WELOVEEARTH/LETSLEARNABOUTGLOBALWARMING/wish/641647389 WELOVEEARTH https://padlet.com/WELOVEEARTH/LETSLEARNABOUTGLOBALWARMING/wish/641647390 A cold ocean can absorb more dissolved CO₂ than a warm ocean. But there is also a limit to how much CO₂ the ocean can absorb, if an ocean absorbs too much CO₂ the ocean will become too acidic and that is hard on Marine life. ]]> 2020-06-27 12:11:54 UTC https://padlet.com/WELOVEEARTH/LETSLEARNABOUTGLOBALWARMING/wish/641647390 WELOVEEARTH https://padlet.com/WELOVEEARTH/LETSLEARNABOUTGLOBALWARMING/wish/641647392 Coral reefs are dying because when the oceans become acidic it causes the reefs to not be able to make their hard protective shells.]]> 2020-06-27 12:11:54 UTC https://padlet.com/WELOVEEARTH/LETSLEARNABOUTGLOBALWARMING/wish/641647392 WELOVEEARTH https://padlet.com/WELOVEEARTH/LETSLEARNABOUTGLOBALWARMING/wish/641647393 What do cows have to do with global warming? They produce lots of methane gas (a greenhouse gas). ]]> 2020-06-27 12:11:54 UTC https://padlet.com/WELOVEEARTH/LETSLEARNABOUTGLOBALWARMING/wish/641647393 WELOVEEARTH https://padlet.com/WELOVEEARTH/LETSLEARNABOUTGLOBALWARMING/wish/641647394 The gasoline leaf blower produces more pollution than a car. It has wind speeds of 150 mph. Besides they don't remove the leaves.]]> 2020-06-27 12:11:54 UTC https://padlet.com/WELOVEEARTH/LETSLEARNABOUTGLOBALWARMING/wish/641647394 WELOVEEARTH https://padlet.com/WELOVEEARTH/LETSLEARNABOUTGLOBALWARMING/wish/641647396 Trees can take in CO₂ and turn it into oxygen; that's why trees are important, because they help us breathe. When we cut down trees in forests which is called deforestation, the trees release CO₂. One organization says we are losing our forests at the rate of 36 soccer fields a minute. ]]> 2020-06-27 12:11:54 UTC https://padlet.com/WELOVEEARTH/LETSLEARNABOUTGLOBALWARMING/wish/641647396
