How do we live with it?

HOW DO WE KNOW ITS HAPPENING

  • Sea level rise
  • Global temperature rise
  • Warming oceans
  • Shrinking ice sheets

SEA LEVEL RISE

  • Sea level rise is caused by the added water from melting land ice and the expansion of sea water as it warms.
  • Global sea level rose about 17 centimeters (6.7 inches) in the last century.

GLOBAL TEMPERATURE RISE

  • "greenhouse effect"1 — warming that results when the atmosphere traps heat radiating from Earth toward space.
  • Water vapor
  • Carbon dioxide (CO2)
  • Methane
  • Nitrous oxide
  • These are also gases that ruin the atmosphere

HOW DO WE FIX IT

  • No more fossil fuel electricity
  • Managing forests and agriculture
  • Greening transportation
  • Wind power
  • Biofuels

GREENING TRANSPORTATION

  • This one is an easy one
  • Instead of cars we can use bicycles to get to close places (although not crazy effects it still helps)
  • There are so many useless ways of using transportation with bad fuels, instead reuse cooking oils and also an electric car can help.

BIOFUEL/WINDPOWER

  • We can reuse things to fuel our cars
  • Turn dead plants into fuels
  • Wind power is a really easy and effective way to obtain power in certain areas and regions in the world.
  • There are also different varieties of using wind power as energy.

HOW DO WE LIVE WITH IT?

  • To adapt we will need to lower the greenhouse gas
  • We can also adjust our agriculture to the new pattern of rain and climate change.
  • There is also more areas to be spread apart, meaning people will have to scatter around countries instead of living in one city area.
