Climate Change

Today in science we had to watch a video about climate change and answer these questions. Also i'm really big on climate change I want to have a impact of it before the worlds damage becomes irreversible. 

What is our greatest threat in thousands of years?
Climate Change 

How do we see climate change affecting the globe?
  1. Flooding  
  2. Higher Sea Levels
  3. Storms
  4. Air Pollution

What is needed to change history?
Urgent Action. 











Is climate change a man made disaster?
Yes because us humans have created the all of the fossil fuel factories and we have caused it by polluting our earth.

Dramatic action must be made in the next __ years to change it?
10 years.

Why is our climate changing?
The fossil fuel factories are burning too much of the fuel which is creating carbon dioxide that makes our earth temperature hotter. 















What is causing the warming trend of the climate?
Fossil fuel factories.

What is the main problem?
I believe there isn't a main problem and everything is a problem but mostly the earths temperature rising which causes the antarctic ice to melt which causes flooding and that will drown out our pacific islands. Also species of animals will become extinct because they can't adapt to the heat and different ways of living.












Burning fossil fuels releases what gas?
Carbon Dioxide 













How much hotter now is our world?
By 1 degree celsius 

What do we call this global warming?
Climate Change

How is this affecting creatures / animals like bats?
It's affecting the animal species because species of animals will become extinct because they can't adapt to the heat and different ways of living.









Yes these are bats.


What percentage of species are near extinction?
8%

How could this effect the world ecosystems?
They could collapse or break.

What global change was seen and recording breaking last year?
Record breaking wild fires in California.















How is climate change affecting our weather systems?
1. More moisture evaporating off our oceans causing a lot of rain. 
2. Extreme Storms
3. Heating temperatures causing droughts

What is another effect of climate change?
Building.

What will happen if the ice melts in Antarctica and the Arctic?
4 Trillions amount of ice have melted. This causes higher sea levels which has risen 20cm that puts islands and country's at risk of getting drowned by the sea. 















How does this affect people?
It's getting rid of liveable land and peoples homes.














What other things affect oceans change?
Other things are storms and rain. More rain can also cause the sea level to rise more. Also the ocean is absorbing carbon dioxide which is making it become more acid.

What does too much heat do to the coral?
The heat kills all of the species in there and the heartbreaking thing is there are many more type of species that still haven't been discovered by humans and we might never find out about them.












Why did some industries not want to stop burning fossil fuels?
Industries want to keep burning fossil fuels because they need and want the money and they don't think of the future and what carbon dioxide is effecting and how bad its effecting it.
