Most of us know that the Earth is getting warmer, but do we really understand what is causing it, and what is its impact?]]> 2017-04-01 21:59:57 UTC https://padlet.com/louyse_lim09/w2x9j7rkgoo4/wish/164131409 louyse_lim09 https://padlet.com/louyse_lim09/w2x9j7rkgoo4/wish/164131434 There are natural causes that contribute to climate change, but industrial processes are behind the recent rapid acceleration of global warming. The needs of a growing population have led to deforestation, the burning of fossil fuels and intensive agriculture. All these activities release greenhouse gases into our atmosphere - such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane. Greenhouse gases trap the heat of the sun on the planet, preventing it from being reflected back into space. This causes the Earth's atmosphere to warm up in what is known as the greenhouse effect. In just 200 years, the concentration of carbon dioxide in our

Increasing emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere (CO2 in particular) are arresting heat in the Earth's atmosphere. This impacts global climate systems, causing, from unexpected rain to extreme heat waves. The Earth has gone through periods of warming and cooling - and associated climate change - many times. What the scientists are most concerned about is that the warming process is happening much faster than before, and that the rapid warming is caused by the increased levels of man-made emissions]]> 2017-04-01 22:02:50 UTC https://padlet.com/louyse_lim09/w2x9j7rkgoo4/wish/164131495 louyse_lim09 https://padlet.com/louyse_lim09/w2x9j7rkgoo4/wish/164131904 https://youtu.be/ifrHogDujXw
