2. What is Climate
Change?
Climate Change is when there is
a change in the weather
patterns and related changes in
oceans, land surfaces and ice
sheets, occurring over decades
or longer.
3. Causes for rising emissions
* Cutting down forests (deforestation).
Trees help to regulate the climate by
absorbing carbon dioxide from the
atmosphere.
If we didn’t have trees then we wouldn’t have
oxygen and there would be an increase in
greenhouse gasses.
* Increasing livestock farming
cows and sheep produce large amounts
of methane when they digest their
food.
Burning coal, oil and gas
produces carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide
