| Global warming is a negative escalation in the earth´s temperature. |
|
| |
|
| The world´s temperature increases because of greenhouse gases (gases like carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor and nitrous oxide.) caused: |
|
| |
|
| |
-naturally |
|
| |
|
| |
-by human activity (including transportation and eating habits) |
|
| |
|
| |
Ultimately, the more humans, the more human activity, and thus, the more greenhouse gases emitted in the atmosphere. |
|
| |
|
| |
A certain amount of greenhouse gases are needed to sustain a healthy environment. |
|
| |
|
| |
However... |
|
| |
|
| An unhealthy increase in greenhouse gases causes an increase in the world´s temperature which causes: |
|
| |
|
| |
-sea levels to elevate |
|
| |
|
| |
-an increase of warm waters which means an increase in hurricanes |
|
| |
|
| |
-an altercation in natural habitats which means the death of plants, animals, and people ( and possible global disputes) |
|
| |
|
| |
-an altercation in the longevity of life of certain plants and animals which means more diseases (like malaria, poison ivy) |
|
| |
|
| |
-an increase in specific health aliments (like heat stroke, heart attack) |
|
| |
|
| |
-economic effects |
|
| |
|
| To lessen the effects of climate change, it is imperative to make lifestyle changes that: |
|
| |
|
| |
-conserve energy |
|
| |
|
|
| |
-lessen waste |
|
| |
|
|
| |
-decrease water consumption |
|
| |
|
|
| |
-save trees |
