- Natural Climate Change
- Warmest periods in the last 10,000 years happened before humans produced a carbon footprint
- Solar Activity
- The increase in temperature is caused by the radiation coming from the sun
- When the solar activity is high, there are fewer clouds
- The heat from the sun reaches the Earth and warms it up.
- Possible Solutions
- Different ways to make electricity without producing carbon
- EG. Wind power, sea power, hydroelectric power and solar power
- Using biofuels, such as ethanol, using hydrogen and electric batteries.(IN CARS)
- HOWEVER: Biofuels are made from crops - which could be used for food.
- Increase the use of public transport
- Improve the efficiency and reduce the pollution that cars produce.
