Climate Change Investigative Journalism by Sohan Saggar https://padlet.com/saggarso1_2/vspu0n9qrnhrc78f en-us 2024-06-05 17:52:50 UTC 2024-06-10 17:57:37 UTC hello@padlet.com How does this affect you? saggarso1_2 https://padlet.com/saggarso1_2/vspu0n9qrnhrc78f/wish/3019463345 Climate change isn’t just a scientific trope, it is a big deal. Climate change could affect the food we eat, cause droughts, impact the air quality, and create more dangerous weather.  This is not only devastating, it could mean the end of many, many lives. ]]> 2024-06-05 17:57:54 UTC https://padlet.com/saggarso1_2/vspu0n9qrnhrc78f/wish/3019463345 What do you hope happens next? saggarso1_2 https://padlet.com/saggarso1_2/vspu0n9qrnhrc78f/wish/3019465534 I hope that serious action takes place. I hope that people actually start taking climate change seriously, and governments implement regulations on big businesses, cars, and more. I also hope that people stop treating climate change like a future issue, and treat it like the current issue it is. ]]> 2024-06-05 18:01:10 UTC https://padlet.com/saggarso1_2/vspu0n9qrnhrc78f/wish/3019465534 What did you learn through your research? saggarso1_2 https://padlet.com/saggarso1_2/vspu0n9qrnhrc78f/wish/3019467171 Through the research, I learned more about what causes climate change. While I knew what climate change was before this, I learned more about how it actually happens (human activities, factory emissions, gasoline engines).]]> 2024-06-05 18:03:40 UTC https://padlet.com/saggarso1_2/vspu0n9qrnhrc78f/wish/3019467171 What there anything strange about this topic to you? saggarso1_2 https://padlet.com/saggarso1_2/vspu0n9qrnhrc78f/wish/3019468858 I find is strange that people ignore climate change so much even though there is so much concrete evidence that it is real. So many people still reject the scientific consensus on climate change, even though thousands of organizations have proved its truth. ]]> 2024-06-05 18:06:05 UTC https://padlet.com/saggarso1_2/vspu0n9qrnhrc78f/wish/3019468858 This graph shows how temperature has been steadily and rapidly increasing over the past decades. It displays indisputable evidence of climate change. saggarso1_2 https://padlet.com/saggarso1_2/vspu0n9qrnhrc78f/wish/3019470215 2024-06-05 18:08:04 UTC https://padlet.com/saggarso1_2/vspu0n9qrnhrc78f/wish/3019470215 This graph relates to the temperature graph. It shows how over the past century, the CO2 level has increased dramatically in almost every nation. This CO2 level increase dramatically increases temperature, making CO2 levels a contributing factor to climate change. saggarso1_2 https://padlet.com/saggarso1_2/vspu0n9qrnhrc78f/wish/3019472851 2024-06-05 18:11:37 UTC https://padlet.com/saggarso1_2/vspu0n9qrnhrc78f/wish/3019472851 This graph shows diffrent human activities that emit greenhouse gases, with the top two contributors being electricity, heat production, agriculture, forestry, and other land use. This means that these two issues should be priority when thinking about combating climate change. saggarso1_2 https://padlet.com/saggarso1_2/vspu0n9qrnhrc78f/wish/3019476236 2024-06-05 18:16:27 UTC https://padlet.com/saggarso1_2/vspu0n9qrnhrc78f/wish/3019476236 This graph, specifically on the right, shows how global temperatures would compare if humans didn’t exist verses if they did. As you can see, human activity has severely increased global temperatures compared to if humans didn’t exist and nature was allowed to continue its course. This only further proves climate change. saggarso1_2 https://padlet.com/saggarso1_2/vspu0n9qrnhrc78f/wish/3019480999 2024-06-05 18:21:08 UTC https://padlet.com/saggarso1_2/vspu0n9qrnhrc78f/wish/3019480999 The 1.5 degrees Celsius mark is a line that temperatures cannot pass, or else devastation may occur. As you can unfortunately see, none of our current plans will achieve bringing the temperature below this line by 2100. Even more troubling, is if countries don’t act, the temperature will triple the devastation line. saggarso1_2 https://padlet.com/saggarso1_2/vspu0n9qrnhrc78f/wish/3019488636 2024-06-05 18:31:57 UTC https://padlet.com/saggarso1_2/vspu0n9qrnhrc78f/wish/3019488636 https://www.un.org/en/global-issues/climate-change saggarso1_2 https://padlet.com/saggarso1_2/vspu0n9qrnhrc78f/wish/3019491032 This article talks more about scientific facts to prove that climate change is real. Also, the article talks more about UN efforts to mitigate climate change. For example, the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. ]]> 2024-06-05 18:35:03 UTC https://padlet.com/saggarso1_2/vspu0n9qrnhrc78f/wish/3019491032 https://www.noaa.gov/education/resource-collections/climate/climate-change-impacts. saggarso1_2 https://padlet.com/saggarso1_2/vspu0n9qrnhrc78f/wish/3023457664 This article provides a very good viewpoint on how humanity affects the climate, and how this climate will in turn affect us. For example, it talks about how human actions such as agriculture add greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. It also talks about how this rise in greenhouse gases will cause more common droughts. ]]> 2024-06-10 16:59:00 UTC https://padlet.com/saggarso1_2/vspu0n9qrnhrc78f/wish/3023457664 https://www.nasa.gov/earth/nasa-mission-flies-over-arctic-to-study-sea-ice-melt-causes/ saggarso1_2 https://padlet.com/saggarso1_2/vspu0n9qrnhrc78f/wish/3023469415 This article is about a NASA effort to study the causes of sea ice melt. The mission is called ARCSIX, and it uses two high-tech airplanes to measure clouds, aerosols, and sea ice. The aircraft will fly predetermined routes to record this information and provide us with a better understanding of the effects of climate change. ]]> 2024-06-10 17:17:25 UTC https://padlet.com/saggarso1_2/vspu0n9qrnhrc78f/wish/3023469415 https://www.pewresearch.org/science/2023/08/09/why-some-americans-do-not-see-urgency-on-climate-change/ saggarso1_2 https://padlet.com/saggarso1_2/vspu0n9qrnhrc78f/wish/3023475331 This article talks about everyday people’s opinions on climate change. For example, it talks about how 14% of Americans say no solid evidence exists that climate change is happening, and 26% believe that all climate change is due to natural causes. This allows people to better understand the American viewpoints on climate change. ]]> 2024-06-10 17:26:02 UTC https://padlet.com/saggarso1_2/vspu0n9qrnhrc78f/wish/3023475331 https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2021/10/more-999-studies-agree-humans-caused-climate-change saggarso1_2 https://padlet.com/saggarso1_2/vspu0n9qrnhrc78f/wish/3023480717 This article talks about scientists viewpoint on climate change. For example, it explains how 99.9% of scientific studies agree that humans caused climate change. This data is based off of 88,125 scientific studies on climate change. This number is an increase from the 97% of studies that believed climate change was real in 2013. ]]> 2024-06-10 17:32:45 UTC https://padlet.com/saggarso1_2/vspu0n9qrnhrc78f/wish/3023480717 https://www.who.int/health-topics/climate-change#tab=tab_1 saggarso1_2 https://padlet.com/saggarso1_2/vspu0n9qrnhrc78f/wish/3023487227 This article talks more about the health effects of climate change. For example, it talks about how climate change will worsen things like malnutrition, malaria, and heat stress. It also talks about the economic damage of climate change, such as the fact that the health costs alone of climate change could be between 2-4 billion dollars.  ]]> 2024-06-10 17:42:27 UTC https://padlet.com/saggarso1_2/vspu0n9qrnhrc78f/wish/3023487227
