- CHEMISTRY OF THE EARTHS ATMOSPHERE
- Greenhouse Gasses
- Changes in Earths Atmosphere
- This means levels co2 are rising again in the atmosphere, and levels of 02 are dropping.
- Burning fossil fuels, deforestation, etc is releasing co2 too fast.
- Greenhouse Gasses: Carbon dioxide, methane and water vapour.
- Effects of climate change: Rising sea levels, droughts, extreme weather events and changes in wildlife distribution
- Human activities that increase carbon dioxide + methane levels: burning fossil fuels (CO2), Deforestation (CO2), Cows (CH4) and landfill (CH4)
- Greenhouse gasses cause global warming. High temp causes sea water to melt and rise, loss of habitats, flooding.
- Carbon Footprint: The total amount of carbon dioxide + other greenhouse gasses emitted over the full life cycle of a product, service or event
- Solutions to reduce carbon footprints: Use less fossil fuels, carbon capture + storage, eat less meat and send less food waste to landfill
