Global warming
Global warming is caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere from human activities like burning fossil fuels. The Earth was originally very hot when formed over 4 billion years ago but cooled as the sun's energy output decreased, allowing liquid water and life to form. Household activities like driving, home heating, and electricity use are major contributors to rising CO2 emissions. Simple individual actions like replacing light bulbs, driving less, and using energy efficient appliances can help reduce emissions and slow the rate of global warming.
Period 7 - Alexander Chiem- Global Warming has to be prevented
Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases trapping heat in the atmosphere and changing weather patterns. The main causes are carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels, methane from livestock, and deforestation. Prevention methods include recycling, switching to energy efficient light bulbs, and reducing fossil fuel usage through actions like carpooling. Addressing the causes of global warming is important to avoid future suffering from its effects.
Renewable energy sources
This document summarizes various renewable energy sources including solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, and biofuels. It provides details on each source such as the best locations for implementation, examples of current usage, and challenges to wider adoption. Key points discussed include the intermittent nature of solar and wind requiring energy storage solutions, location constraints for hydroelectric and tidal power, and the potential for cellulosic biofuels to achieve near-zero carbon emissions if sustainably produced.
Renewable energy sources
explains about the basics of alternative energy resources. also gives introduction to advanced technology.
Global Energy Balance
This document discusses energy pathways and balances at Earth's surface. It explains that 51% of incoming solar energy (insolation) is absorbed at the surface on average, while 29% is absorbed directly and 22% is absorbed after scattering. About 4% of insolation is reflected from the surface. The greenhouse effect occurs as the atmosphere absorbs and re-radiates heat, warming the planet. Urban areas experience higher temperatures than rural areas due to surfaces like asphalt and concrete that absorb and retain heat, creating urban heat islands.

Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide released from industries, vehicles, and deforestation. The main effects of global warming are an increase in global temperatures and rising sea levels. Other effects include more extreme weather, earthquakes, tsunamis, and melting glaciers and ice. Reducing carbon emissions through practices like reducing waste, using energy efficient products, and encouraging conservation can help decrease global warming and protect the planet.
Global warming
This document discusses the scientific evidence and impacts of global warming. It summarizes that carbon dioxide and other gases naturally trap heat but human activities like burning fossil fuels have dramatically increased CO2 levels and temperatures. The evidence of rising temperatures causing glacial melting, more extreme storms, and habitat loss is overwhelming. While some deny the problem, the majority of scientists agree that global warming presents a serious threat that requires immediate action like developing renewable energy and more efficient technology.

Geothermal energy
Geothermal energy is heat generated from the earth's core that rises to the surface through conduction and convection, produced from radioactive decay, pressure on rocks, and residual heat from the earth's formation. It is generated near tectonic plate boundaries and produces electricity without pollution. While a reliable source, geothermal plants have high initial costs and may induce minor earthquakes.
What are the causes of climate change
The greenhouse effect occurs when gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, trap heat from the sun, warming the planet. Plants and animals have contributed to carbon dioxide levels through photosynthesis and respiration for millions of years, with their remains becoming fossil fuels like coal and oil. Burning these fossil fuels has increased atmospheric carbon dioxide over the past century, enhancing the greenhouse effect and causing unprecedented global warming in recent decades according to climate scientists.
UNIVERSIDAD CENTRAL DEL ECUADOR
The document summarizes the greenhouse effect and its implications. It explains that Earth's atmosphere, composed of gases like nitrogen and oxygen, also contains greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane. These gases absorb infrared radiation emitted from the Earth's surface and lower atmosphere, trapping heat and warming the planet to enable life. Increased greenhouse gases from human activities are exacerbating the greenhouse effect and causing global temperature rise, rising sea levels, more extreme weather, and other issues that threaten the planet if left unaddressed. Small actions like reducing energy and resource consumption can help mitigate the problem.

It explains that Earth's atmosphere, composed of gases like nitrogen and oxygen, also contains greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane. These gases absorb infrared rays emitted from the Earth and warm the surface, creating conditions suitable for life. However, increased greenhouse gas concentrations are causing average global temperatures and sea levels to rise, along with more extreme weather events. All inhabitants must take action to reduce emissions through alternatives to polluting products, recycling, more efficient energy use, and other sustainable practices.

This document discusses global warming and its causes. It provides a brief history of Earth's climate, explaining how the greenhouse effect works and the role of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane. It shows data on the rise of atmospheric CO2 levels since 1750 corresponding to increased carbon emissions from human activities like burning fossil fuels. The U.S. is one of the top emitters responsible for 25% of the world's greenhouse gases. Small individual actions like driving less, improving home energy efficiency and recycling more can collectively make a meaningful impact in reducing emissions and slowing global warming.
Global
Global warming refers to the increase in average temperatures of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans since the mid-20th century due to rising levels of greenhouse gases from human activity. The average global surface temperature increased 0.74 degrees Celsius over the past 100 years and is projected to continue rising. Effects of global warming already occurring include melting ice worldwide, rising sea levels, and increased extreme weather events. Potential future impacts this century include more severe hurricanes, droughts and floods, species extinction, and health issues. Solutions proposed include increasing use of solar and other renewable energy sources as well as developing technologies to reduce carbon emissions such as more efficient engines.

Climate change is the long-term alteration of temperature and weather patterns due to human-caused increases in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Current events include declining fish populations as warming waters disrupt marine ecosystems, deadly heatwaves on every continent, and unprecedented Arctic wildfires in summer 2019 that emitted 50 megatons of carbon dioxide. To attack climate change, people should invest in renewable energy, be politically active, and avoid fossil fuels.
Global warming
Global warming refers to the rise in average surface temperatures of the Earth due to increased greenhouse gas emissions. Scientists have found that the Earth's surface temperature has risen by 1.3 degrees Fahrenheit over the last hundred years. Evidence of global warming includes retreating glaciers, thawing permafrost, sea level rise, and more extreme weather events. If greenhouse gas emissions continue at their current rate, global temperatures could increase by 3.5 to 8 degrees Fahrenheit by 2050, causing significant disruptions around the world. Proposed solutions to address global warming include boosting energy efficiency, transitioning to renewable energy, improving transportation systems, better managing forests and agriculture, and developing new technologies.

Understanding Climate Change
Climate change is one of society's greatest threats. This was an overview presentation given on the science and solutions to a student audience at the World Bank on January 15, 2015, to inspire youth to take on climate change. The presentation was given as part of a workshop at which Lucia Grenna introduced the Connect4Climate program and Rachel Kyte, Vice President and Special Envoy for Climate Change at the World Bank, gave a personal account of what is need to take on the challenge, considering that 2015 is such an important year. The students went on do discuss their role for climate action, and brainstormed how best to enhance the Sport4Climate initiative of Connect4Climate.
Green house effect
The greenhouse effect is the process by which absorption and emission of infrared radiation by gases in a planet's atmosphere warm its lower atmosphere and surface. It was proposed by Joseph Fourier in 1824, discovered in 1860 by John Tyndall, was first investigated quantitatively by Svante Arrhenius in 1896 and was developed in the 1930s through 1960s by Guy Stewart Callendar.Heat waves, wildfires, floods and droughts hit us hard in 2012 (the warmest year on record for the United States). Scientists warn that if we don't address climate change, this is just a taste of what we could expect in the years ahead. You can use our interactive map to see how your local community was affected by extreme weather last year
The Greenhouse Effect
The greenhouse effect occurs when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap heat from the sun similarly to how glass panels in a greenhouse work. Some of the sunlight's energy is absorbed by the Earth and then radiated back as heat, but greenhouse gases prevent this heat from fully escaping, causing the planet to warm up over time. The main causes of the greenhouse effect are large amounts of greenhouse gases released from fossil fuel usage and lack of energy conservation. Effects include rising global temperatures, climate change, sea level rise, and increased pollution. Possible solutions involve individual actions like saving energy at home, reducing car usage, and limiting pollution.
Global warming
Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide trapping heat in the atmosphere. When sunlight reaches Earth, some is absorbed and warms the surface while the rest radiates back out. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb some of this outgoing radiation and reflect it back to Earth, warming the atmosphere in a process known as the greenhouse effect. Major causes of increased greenhouse gases are burning fossil fuels for electricity and transportation, methane from agriculture and livestock, deforestation, fertilizer usage, and increased chemical usage on farms. Effects of global warming include rising sea levels worldwide, more extreme storms, crop failures, species extinction, and destruction of coral reefs.
Crowsnest Fires
The Crowsnest wildfire in 2003 started as a seasonal fire but grew rapidly into a massive 6 km wall of flames over 50 m high, releasing energy equivalent to an atomic bomb every 30 minutes. Local residents were evacuated with many watching the large flames. While some local businesses were unaffected, tourism was negatively impacted. However, one sawmill was positively affected as it had rights to salvage burned timber. Ecologically, the fire created diversity but the burned areas initially looked devoid of life. Overall, the fire burned over 20,000 hectares but a new forest will regrow on the landscape.
What is climate change doing to us and for us?
What are we doing to our climate? Emissions from fossil fuel burning have raised carbon dioxide concentrations 35% higher than in the last millions of years. This increase is warming our planet via the Greenhouse Effect. What is climate change doing to and for us? Dry regions are drier and wet ones wetter. Wildfires have increased threefold, hurricanes more violent, floods setting record heights, glaciers melting, and seas rising. Parts of Earth are increasingly uninhabitable. Climate change requires us to act as a global community. Climate justice enjoins emitters to pay the social-environmental costs of fossil fuel burning. This would expedite green solar, wind, and next-generation nuclear energy sources. Individuals should conserve resources, waste less food, and eat a plant rich diet.
Alternative Energy Primer
The document provides an overview of alternative energy. It defines alternative energy as coming from sources that do not deplete natural resources or harm the environment. It discusses why alternative energy is important today due to issues like climate change from CO2 emissions and peak oil. The document then covers various alternative energy technologies like wind and solar power, how they work, and what is holding further development back. It encourages readers to learn more and get involved to help transition to more sustainable energy sources.
Global Warming
Global warming refers to an increase in the Earth's average surface temperature caused by human emissions of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane. Current CO2 levels are the highest they've been in 15 million years and are rising due to human activities like burning fossil fuels. Greenhouse gases trap heat in the lower atmosphere and have increased average global temperatures, leading to changes in climate patterns and more extreme weather. Taking actions like driving less, improving energy efficiency, and switching to renewable energy can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and slow the pace of global warming.
Bolivia causes of climate change
The document argues that climate change is caused by the capitalist system which prioritizes unlimited growth and profit over sustainability. It dominates nature and causes overexploitation of resources. Developed countries are responsible for 80% of emissions and should help developing countries hardest hit who contributed little, by providing money and technology. More technology alone will not solve climate change which requires changing the economic system driving overproduction.
Causes of climate change
The document discusses the differences between weather and climate. Weather refers to short-term conditions like temperature, precipitation and wind on a daily basis. Climate describes average weather patterns over longer periods of time, and how the Earth's climate has changed naturally over time. It then provides examples of the typical seasonal weather patterns in the UK - spring brings rain and warmer temperatures, summer is hotter with occasional showers, autumn is cooler and rainier, and winter is cold with rain or snow. The document concludes by listing simple actions individuals can take to help reduce climate change, such as walking instead of driving, buying locally, saving energy and recycling.
Climate Change And Its Causes
This document discusses climate change and its causes. It shows a sketch of global temperature history and suggests rising temperatures. There is evidence for global warming from multiple reliable sources, ranked from most to least reliable. The document asks for a 150-word statement to convince a climate skeptic that recent climate change is unprecedented.

There is evidence for global warming from multiple reliable sources, ranked from most to least reliable. The document asks for a 150-word statement to convince a climate skeptic that recent climate change is unprecedented.
The causes of climate change
The document discusses both human and natural causes of climate change. It states that human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation have increased atmospheric carbon dioxide by 25% and methane by 4 times since 1950, contributing to global warming. Natural factors like variations in the Earth's orbit and axis, volcanic eruptions, and solar activity can also impact climate on longer timescales by altering sunlight and gases in the atmosphere. The document examines climate change over short, medium, and long periods and notes the need to reduce fossil fuel usage to mitigate further human-caused impacts.
Climate Change Causes Lesson 2
The document discusses the carbon cycle and the main contributors to climate change in the UK. Transportation accounts for 21% of UK emissions, industry 5%, agriculture 8%, and energy 66%. It prompts learners to name human and natural inputs and stores of carbon, and explain what would happen if parts of the carbon cycle like photosynthesis increased or decreased. Learners are also asked to creatively describe the journey of a carbon atom through the carbon cycle.
Climate Change Causes
The document discusses three main causes of climate change:
1. Earth-sun geometry - variations in the Earth's orbit, axial tilt, and precession affect the amount of solar radiation reaching Earth, according to the Milankovitch Theory.
2. Volcanic eruptions - Large eruptions can inject huge amounts of volcanic material like ash and gases into the atmosphere, reflecting sunlight back into space and lowering global temperatures for years. Major eruptions have been linked to extinction events.
3. Solar output - Small variations in the amount of energy emitted by the Sun may also influence Earth's climate on long timescales.
Coasts at a glance
This document provides information about coastal landforms and processes. It describes the differences between constructive and destructive waves, as well as various erosion processes like hydraulic action, abrasion, attrition, and corrosion. It also discusses mass movement, wave cut platforms, cliff recession rates, and landforms like caves, arches, stacks and stumps. Additionally, it covers longshore drift, spit formation, effects of coastal recession, and examples of hard and soft coastal protection methods.
Wasteful world at a glance
The document provides information on different types of waste, including biodegradable, non-biodegradable, domestic, industrial, hazardous, toxic, recyclable, and electrical waste. It also discusses differences in waste production between low-income countries (LICs) and high-income countries (HICs), as well as types of domestic waste like e-waste, white goods, and packaging. Specific examples of waste disposal systems in Germany and the UK are also summarized.
Tourism Revision
This document discusses tourism, including definitions of key terms like tourist, tourism, and types of tourism. It also covers topics like the growth of tourism over the past 50 years due to factors like increased disposable income and transportation improvements. Models of tourist resort development cycles and examples of how those models apply to places like Blackpool and Benidorm are provided. The impacts of tourism, both positive and negative, on social, economic, and environmental aspects are examined. Specific examples of tourism impacts in both developed and developing countries are given. Ecotourism is discussed as a form of sustainable tourism through the example of tourism management in the Galapagos Islands.
Waste and packaging
There are several types of waste, including biodegradable, non-biodegradable, domestic, industrial, hazardous, nuclear, toxic, recyclable, non-recyclable, solid, and liquid. High-income countries produce more waste per person than low-income countries due to higher disposable incomes and more single-use products and packaging. High-income countries also produce more electronic, white goods, and packaging waste. Common domestic waste in high-income countries includes mobile phones and personal computers that are replaced frequently. Packaging makes up a large portion of waste and comes in primary, secondary, and transit forms.
Honeypot villages, shop closure, spiral of decline
The document discusses honeypot villages, which are locations that attract large numbers of tourists. Characteristics of honeypot villages include shops becoming gift shops and tea rooms to cater to tourists, with thousands of visitors bringing noise and congestion that can drive locals away by taking away peace and quiet. Village shop closures are also addressed, noting they can cause residents to leave as shops struggle to compete with supermarkets and close at a rate of 400 per year, leaving some villages dependent on other towns for goods and isolating elderly residents who cannot drive.
Demographic Transition Model
The document outlines the 5 stages of the Demographic Transition Model. Stage 1 is characterized by high but fluctuating birth and death rates due to lack of healthcare and family planning. Stage 2 sees falling death rates due to improved conditions while birth rates remain high. Stage 3 exhibits declining birth rates as family planning spreads and child mortality decreases. Stage 4 enters low and stable birth and death rates as populations age. Stage 5 is a potential future stage where death rates exceed birth rates leading to population decline.
Wasteful World
This document discusses different types of waste and waste management practices. It provides details on domestic, industrial, hazardous, toxic, recyclable, and electrical waste. It also compares waste production between low-income and high-income countries. Specific examples of waste disposal practices in Germany and local recycling in Somerset are outlined. The document also covers non-renewable and renewable energy sources, different countries' energy mixes, energy surplus and deficit, carbon footprints, and domestic and national scale energy waste management.
Population change
The document discusses global population trends, distribution, and factors that influence population changes. It provides details on population growth rates slowing globally but total numbers still increasing. Countries with highest densities are China and India while sparsely populated areas include parts of Canada, Russia, and Australia. The demographic transition model outlines 5 stages of population changes as countries develop from high birth/death rates to low birth/death rates. Factors like environment, resources, and development influence population distributions. China's one-child policy aimed to reduce rapid growth while Singapore later encouraged families to have more children for economic reasons.
Butlers model
The document describes Butler's tourist resort life cycle model, which outlines the typical stages in the evolution of a tourist destination from exploration to decline. It begins with few facilities and adventure tourism, progresses to development with large hotels and package holidays, reaches a peak stage of consolidation, then declines through stagnation as the resort loses popularity and businesses close, before potentially achieving rejuvenation. Examples provided are Blackpool, which has declined, and Benidorm which remains consolidated through management choices to prevent stagnation.
Case studies transport solutions
The document discusses transport solutions in Paris and London that aim to reduce congestion and emissions. London implemented a congestion charge in 2003 where drivers pay a daily fee to enter the city center, resulting in over 70,000 fewer vehicles and decreases in greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution of 20% and 12% respectively. Paris started a cycle scheme in 2007 with over 16,000 public bikes available for free for the first 30 minutes, which sees 120,000 daily trips and increased cycling traffic by 70% though also injuries and thefts.
Tectonics
The document discusses the structure and composition of the Earth. It is divided into sections on:
1) A comparison of the Earth's structure to a scotch egg, with the crust as the breadcrumbs, mantle as the meat, outer core as the egg white, and inner core as the yolk.

Global warming refers to the average increase in Earth's temperature due to greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane trapping heat in the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is a natural process that helps regulate the planet's temperature and is essential for life, but human activities like burning fossil fuels are enhancing the greenhouse effect and leading to problems. As the planet warms, sea levels are rising as ice melts and extreme weather events are becoming more common. To reduce their carbon footprint and help address global warming, individuals can take actions like driving less, improving home energy efficiency, and changing consumption habits.

Global warming ppt by Peroshka
Global warming is the long-term rise in Earth's average surface temperature due to human-caused greenhouse gas emissions, primarily from burning fossil fuels. Burning fossil fuels for energy, transportation, manufacturing, and agriculture release carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that trap heat in the lower atmosphere. Deforestation also contributes by reducing nature's ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the air. To reduce global warming, individuals and governments can adopt more sustainable practices like using renewable energy, driving less, recycling, and planting trees.
Global warming
Global warming is the increase of the earth's average temperature due to release of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane produced by human pollution. This causes the breakdown of icebergs and increases chances of floods and tsunamis. Greenhouse gases are emitted through activities like burning fossil fuels for energy and transportation and trap heat in the atmosphere, changing the climate. Both human activities like fossil fuel use and natural processes like methane release contribute to global warming and its effects like rising sea levels, more extreme weather, and species extinction. Preventing global warming requires individual actions like using less energy and driving less as well as global solutions like transitioning to renewable energy.
The causes of climate change
Climate change can be assessed over short, medium, and long timescales. Short-term climate change like global warming occurs over decades, while medium-term changes happened over thousands of years in the past. Long-term climate change takes place over hundreds of thousands to millions of years. Human activities that release greenhouse gases like burning fossil fuels and deforestation are contributing to increased CO2 levels and global warming, but natural factors like variations in the Earth's orbit and volcanic eruptions have also caused climate changes in the past. The document discusses both human and natural causes and impacts of climate change.

Farm diversification
Farms diversify for several reasons: supermarkets pay low prices for food; 40% of UK food is imported cheaply; farms cannot profit from food production alone. Farms diversify by growing alternative crops, raising animals, selling produce directly through farms shops/markets, and offering tourism/leisure activities like B&B, camping, cafes, educational tours. One farm example is Hazel Brow Farm which has a visitor center, animal handling, nature trails, cafe, and sells organic produce from the farm. Farms also adopt more sustainable practices like drip irrigation, crop rotation, hedgerows, and organic farming to adapt to changing market and environmental conditions.
Skillz
The document provides guidance on interpreting maps and GIS for a GCSE exam, including how to measure distances and grid references, interpret contours and relief, identify features from aerial photographs, and describe the site and situation of settlements. It emphasizes supporting descriptions with clear evidence from the map, such as grid references, transportation networks, vegetation patterns, and the distribution and shapes of settlements. The document also includes sample exam questions testing these map skills.
M&s and nike
M&S has taken several steps to improve its sustainability, including increasing energy efficiency in stores by 28% through new light fittings that cut energy use by 70%, using more fuel efficient trucks, encouraging customers to donate old clothes through its SHWOP initiative to reduce waste, and sourcing coffee, chocolate and palm oil from sustainable sources to stop deforestation. New refrigerators also cut leaks by 3260 times and no longer use CFCs.
Effects of climate change
Climate change is causing negative effects like changing seasons that allow diseases to spread farther north, changing rainfall patterns, and more frequent/intense hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods. Higher temperatures are warming oceans and allowing hurricanes to be stronger and more destructive. Climate change also threatens global food supply by potentially reducing crop yields through more droughts and floods, and could lead to food shortages and famine in poorer regions if harvests decline. Coastal cities face flooding risks from rising sea levels.
Energy sources
The document discusses recycling and renewable and non-renewable energy sources in Germany. It notes that Germany recycles over 60% of its waste through strict recycling laws and programs. It also describes Germany's use of landfills, incineration, and efforts to deal with nuclear waste. The document then contrasts non-renewable energy sources like coal, oil, gas and nuclear power that will eventually run out with renewable sources like solar, wind, geothermal and hydroelectric that are perpetual. It also discusses energy surpluses and deficits in different countries.
Coastal flooding
Coastal recession is affected by three main factors: fetch (wave size), geology (erosion rate varies by rock type), and coastal defenses (which slow erosion). The document then discusses efforts to predict and prevent coastal flooding in several regions. In the UK, the Thames Barrier and new flood walls are being installed. Indonesia lacks adequate tsunami warnings. Bangladesh is building flood walls and shelters while educating residents on flood preparation.

20240605 QFM017 Machine Intelligence Reading List May 2024
Causes of climate change
- 1. Causes of Climate Change
- 2. Volcanic Eruptions • Actually, volcanic eruption cool the Earth. • This is because the ash from the eruption stops the Sun’s radiation from reaching the Earth, making it cooler. • The Mount Pinatubo eruption of 1991 cooled the whole earth by 1°C!
- 3. Sun Spots • The sun has an 11 year cycle of activity. • At its most active it can produce many sun spots which send solar energy to Earth. These are thought to change weather patterns and warm the planet but evidence is not clear.
- 4. Human Causes
- 5. Transport • Now people use cars more often pollutants are rising. • In 2004 British cars created 120 million tonnes of carbon dioxide • Aeroplanes are further warming the planet, adding more than 700 million tonnes of carbon dioxide each year.
- 6. Industry • 36% of the World’s CO2 is produced by industry. • This production has increased further each year, by 61% between 1971 and 2004 • Positively, many industries have become more efficient, so are emitting less carbon.
- 7. Deforestation • Every minute 2,000 trees are cut down around the world. These trees store CO2 within them. When the trees are cut down, this is released back into the atmosphere helping to warm the planet. • If the cleared land is used for cattle, large amounts of methane will be released into the atmosphere, warming the Earth further.
- 8. Population growth • As population grows, there are more and more pressures on land for food, resources and energy. There are also more people producing waste which is helping to warm the planet
- 9. Rubbish and Waste • We all want the latest gadget, but it has to come from somewhere, and where does the old one go? To create your new products takes energy and creates a lot of waste.
- 10. Energy Production • A lot of the energy we use to power our homes comes from non- renewable energy sources. • This is using up valuable resources, but also pumping out harmful waste into the atmosphere which is warming it. • Coal power stations are particularly bad • How could we make this better?
- 11. Eating Meat • Cows release vast quantities of methane which is one of the more harmful greenhouse gasses. • Cows also have to graze on land which would have previously been woodland, reducing the carbon store
- 12. Explain why higher levels of greenhouse gases cause a rise in global temperatures (4 marks) • Identify a greenhouse gas and say they have increased over the years (1) • Rise in GHG traps solar radiation (1) • Solar radiation is reflected back from the surface of the earth (1) • This heats the atmosphere from below/the inside and as ice melts CO2 is released (1)
