Greenhouse gases trap this heat, and increased greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere mean more heat is trapped. ]]> 2023-04-19 20:45:28 UTC https://padlet.com/23rakovm/vqzu3f1g1wid82kw/wish/2560709621 23rakovm https://padlet.com/23rakovm/vqzu3f1g1wid82kw/wish/2560718075 Oceans absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Higher temperatures also cause higher rates of evaporation, causing drought.
People living in formerly redlined areas are often lower-income, and often do not have high tree canopy percentages, making these people more likely to suffer from extreme heat.
People living along the equator see unlivable temperatures with a comparatively small amount of climate warming.]]> 2023-04-21 14:44:55 UTC https://padlet.com/23rakovm/vqzu3f1g1wid82kw/wish/2563330583 23rakovm https://padlet.com/23rakovm/vqzu3f1g1wid82kw/wish/2563333120 Phenological Shifts: Warmer temperatures cause organisms to respond at different times to seasonal changes, possibly resulting in lack of food or failure to reproduce. 
Range Shifts: Warmer temperatures change the range of organisms, resulting in the proliferation of warm-weather organisms and the extinction of cold-weather ones.
