Study Notes
- Climate change refers to long-term adjustments in Earth's climate patterns, primarily caused by human activities releasing greenhouse gases.
- Greenhouse gases trap heat, leading to rising temperatures, melting ice, rising sea levels, and extreme weather events.
- Excessive use of fossil fuels and deforestation are significant contributors to climate change.
- Burning fossil fuels for energy releases carbon dioxide, which traps heat and contributes to climate change.
- Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, making deforestation an imbalance in greenhouse gas levels and a cause of climate change.
- Climate change causes melting polar ice caps, leading to higher sea levels and flooding of coastal communities.
- Extreme weather events, such as heatwaves, droughts, hurricanes, and heavy rainfall, occur more frequently and become stronger due to climate change.
- These extreme weather events can cause significant harm to buildings, farms, and people's lives, as well as ecosystems and living organisms.
- Climate change leads to higher temperatures and pollution levels, worsening air quality and respiratory conditions.
- Changes in rainfall patterns can result in water scarcity and an increase in waterborne diseases.
- Reducing greenhouse gas emissions through renewable energy sources and planting trees, and saving energy are solutions to combat climate change.
- The Arab world, with its dry weather, lack of water, and dependence on farming, is more sensitive to the effects of climate change and must work to reduce and adapt to it for a sustainable future.
- Climate change intensifies water scarcity, leading to a decline in crop production, increased coastal flooding, and economic, health, and social issues in the Arab world.
- Waterborne diseases are caused by the consumption or exposure to polluted water.
