Global Warming: A progressive rise in the total temperature of the Earth's atmosphere caused by growing quantities of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants
2. The Greenhouse Effect: The trapping of the sun's warmth in a planet's lower atmosphere as a result of the atmosphere's higher transparency to visible radiation from the sun than to infrared heat released by the planet's surface.
3. Ocean Acidification: The continuing reduction in the pH of the Earth's seas caused by carbon dioxide absorption from the atmosphere is known as ocean acidification. The combustion of fossil fuels is the primary cause of ocean acidification.
4. Invasive Species: An invasive species is an organism that has been introduced and has a detrimental impact on its new habitat. Despite the fact that their spread might be beneficial, invasive species have a negative impact on the invaded habitats and bioregions, inflicting ecological, environmental, and/or economic damage.
5. Pollution: the presence or introduction of a dangerous or dangerous chemical or object into the environment
6. IPCC: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is a United Nations intergovernmental agency devoted to providing the world with an objective, scientific information necessary to understanding...
7. Population Growth: The rise in the number of people in a population is referred to as population growth. Global human population increase is roughly 83 million people per year, or 1.1 percent each year. The world's population has increased from one billion in 1800 to 7.9 billion in 2020.
8. Over-exploitation: Overexploitation, also known as overharvesting, is when a renewable resource is harvested to the point of declining returns. Continued overexploitation may result in the resource's demise.
9. Habitat Destruction: The process by which a natural environment becomes incapable of maintaining its native species is known as habitat destruction. The creatures that once inhabited the location have been moved or killed, diminishing biodiversity and species richness. The primary cause of biodiversity loss is habitat degradation.
10. Climate Change: Climate variability refers to any changes in the climate that continue longer than individual weather events, whereas climate change only refers to those changes that occur for a longer period of time, generally decades or more.]]> 2021-05-25 10:34:37 UTC https://padlet.com/djones1119/yvi4njjqn4tgtwkm/wish/1557087972 djones1119 https://padlet.com/djones1119/yvi4njjqn4tgtwkm/wish/1557196362 This relates to the Unit since Ocean Acidification is a direct reaction from Global Warming. Ocean Acidification is clearly rising in our world oceans. Carbonate, a crucial building ingredient of saltwater, is depleted as a result of ocean acidification. This makes it more difficult for marine animals to produce shells and skeletons, existing shells may begin to disintegrate.

It seems where we live in the United States is less at risk than European countries and especially Africa. The countries most likely to suffer  against climate change are, predictably, the world's poorest and least developed. This relates to our unit simply because Global Warming is the #1 Environmental Issue.

This relates to the unit because air pollution is a key factor to the overwhelming affect of Global Warming. We can not ignore air pollution as it is one of the biggest threats we face today in our society. Our earth is not invincible.

This makes it more difficult for marine animals to produce shells and skeletons, such as coral and certain plankton, and existing shells may begin to disintegrate. The most effective strategy to control ocean acidification is to address climate change by implementing measures that cut the usage of fossil fuels significantly. We can greatly lessen the impact to marine ecosystems if we drastically reduce our global warming emissions and control future warming.

Climate Change: It is critical that we understand how the climate is changing in order to plan for the future. Climate research can help us estimate how much rain will fall in the next winter or how far sea levels would rise owing to increasing sea temperatures. Wind Turbines (Onshore) and Food waste reduction are some possible solutions to climate change. 

Air Pollution: Crops, animals, forests, and bodies of water are all harmed by air pollution. It also contributes to the loss of the ozone layer, which shields the Earth from UV radiation from the sun. Haze, eutrophication, and global climate change are some of the additional environmental repercussions of air pollution. Reduced energy use aids in the reduction of air pollution. If you use less gasoline, natural gas, and electricity (power plants burn fossil fuels to create electricity), you will not only save money, but you will also produce fewer pollutants. ]]> 2021-05-25 12:38:30 UTC https://padlet.com/djones1119/yvi4njjqn4tgtwkm/wish/1557347516 djones1119 https://padlet.com/djones1119/yvi4njjqn4tgtwkm/wish/1557348967 2021-05-25 12:39:00 UTC https://padlet.com/djones1119/yvi4njjqn4tgtwkm/wish/1557348967 djones1119 https://padlet.com/djones1119/yvi4njjqn4tgtwkm/wish/1557349827 Climate Change:
