HOW CAN YOU help to stop greenhouse gasses...?
WHAT IS IT...?
- Greenhouse gasses ate gasses which contributes to the greenhouse effective by absorbing infrared radiation
- Some of these gasses are carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor
How do greenhouse gasses relate to extreme weather...?
- They thicken the atmosphere, less beat gets released into space therefore more stays in which earth which heats the earth up
- Since less heat gets out the albedo increases and makes the ice sheets melt, when the ice sheet melts the sea level increases, his can cause extreme weather such as hurricanes, flooding and tsunamis
- Also if more heat stays inside of earth they temperature can rise causing heat waves, droughts and other extremely dangerous weather
How does it change climate...?
- They thicken the atmosphere causing less heat to escape from Earth, this causes the atmosphere and earth to heat up and therefore the earth's temperature increases and the earth gets warmer
- Some gasses that are released have a lot of effect on the greenhouse effect and thicken the atmosphere
- Gasses like water vapor and carbon dioxide are one of the most powerful greenhouse gasses
What can you do to stop greenhouse gasses...?
Everything we do effects our temperature and it changes the climate. This makes the earth a worse place to live because they is very bad weather. Driving cars and making factories, they all release carbon dioxide in the air, this makes the atmosphere thicker and earth warmer. This causes global warming and extreme weather.
5 things you can do...
Grow your own food
- this reduces the food miles
- grow; tomatoes, spinach, mangoes or anything that can be grown in your region
- food that comes from other countries or areas gets to you by ships, cars or planes
- and these items use carbon dioxide and release it into the atmosphere
- you eat local results in less CO2 being released in the atmosphere
- use products that use less electricity or heating
- use "Energy-Start-Qualified" fluorescent light bulbs... these save 75% more energy and you can save $40 annually
- more heat results in warmer temperature
- using heat requires a lot of CO2 and if you use less, less CO2 is released in the air causing less greenhouse gasses
- close the lights, water or anything that requires electricity when you are not using it
- electricity uses a lot of CO2
