Why there is an urgency to tackle this issue now and why does it require international cooperation? en-us 2021-04-14 16:34:32 UTC 2021-04-14 17:28:45 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/awalsh810/w5zn6p2w5pdq1va8/wish/1417616557 1.climate change is a major change in weather worldwide, over a period of time. 2. humans are what are causing climate change with their everyday actions such as for example driving their car, running a factory etc. the demand for non-renewable resources from our earth. 3. the urgency to tackle this issue now is to prevent it from becoming a major threat to all of humanity.]]> 2021-04-14 17:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/awalsh810/w5zn6p2w5pdq1va8/wish/1417616557 1. climate change is a long term change in weather, occurring over thousands of years. https://padlet.com/awalsh810/w5zn6p2w5pdq1va8/wish/1417617025 2. Greenhouse gases influenced by humans is driving climate change

Climate change is the accelerated warming of the earth's atmosphere due to rapid industrialisation, which is causing changes in weather across the world such as more frequent droughts, hurricanes etc. awalsh810 https://padlet.com/awalsh810/w5zn6p2w5pdq1va8/wish/1417624251 2021-04-14 17:25:02 UTC https://padlet.com/awalsh810/w5zn6p2w5pdq1va8/wish/1417624251 2. The rise of large factories and burning of fossil fuels is one of the causes of climate chnage https://padlet.com/awalsh810/w5zn6p2w5pdq1va8/wish/1417624444 2021-04-14 17:25:05 UTC https://padlet.com/awalsh810/w5zn6p2w5pdq1va8/wish/1417624444 causes https://padlet.com/awalsh810/w5zn6p2w5pdq1va8/wish/1417625558
  • Increasing livestock farming.
  • Fertilisers containing nitrogen produce nitrous oxide emissions.

Carbon emissions, environmental destruction, cutting down the rainforests, pollution awalsh810 https://padlet.com/awalsh810/w5zn6p2w5pdq1va8/wish/1417634111 2021-04-14 17:26:54 UTC https://padlet.com/awalsh810/w5zn6p2w5pdq1va8/wish/1417634111 3. We are reaching a tipping point, if we don't act now it will be too late; countries on their own won't act, we need international agreements awalsh810 https://padlet.com/awalsh810/w5zn6p2w5pdq1va8/wish/1417637972 2021-04-14 17:27:40 UTC https://padlet.com/awalsh810/w5zn6p2w5pdq1va8/wish/1417637972 https://padlet.com/awalsh810/w5zn6p2w5pdq1va8/wish/1417639556
  • A long term change in climate as a result of human actions 
  • The cause of climate change is consumerism 
  • The urgency comes from the fact that once we reach a certain point, there is nothing to be done to fix, or remedy everything we’ve damaged. It requires international cooperation because tackling climate change involves our interlinking economies
