First Day Back From Break

Climate change is a long term change with massive and permanent ramifications. Over the last 2.5 million years climate change has fluctuated. But, in the last 100 years the climate has raised 1.2-1.4 degrees Fahrenheit.

    What has caused climate change and global warming? 97% of scientists believe it’s not because of the earth’s orbital rotations but instead human interaction. This human activity includes the burning of fossil fuels. Greenhouse gases are emitted from these fossil fuels. The greenhouse effect traps heat in the atmosphere therefore causing global warming.

    What is the biggest factor of the Earth being effected? The Oceans are being most effected by global warming. The increase of temperature is putting marine life and the food web at risk. With sea levels rising, due to the melting of glaciers and icebergs, civilization is in danger of hurricanes and flooding.

    How can we prevent further climate change. We can only do so much, because the damage as of now is permanent. We can help by recycling, eating less meat, using less fossil fuels and even by simply spreading the word.
