Study Notes

Greenhouse Effect

  • The greenhouse effect is a natural process that occurs when certain gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor, trap heat from the sun.
  • This process allows the Earth to maintain a habitable temperature, but human activities have increased the concentration of these gases, leading to an enhancement of the greenhouse effect.
  • The main greenhouse gases responsible for global warming are:
    • Carbon dioxide (CO2)
    • Methane (CH4)
    • Nitrous oxide (N2O)
    • Ozone (O3)
    • Fluorinated gases (F-gases)

Climate Change

  • Climate change refers to the long-term warming of the planet, which is primarily caused by the increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
  • The main causes of climate change are:
    • Burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas)
    • Deforestation and land-use changes
    • Agriculture and livestock production
  • Climate change is causing:
    • Rising temperatures
    • More extreme weather events (e.g. heatwaves, droughts, floods)
    • Changes in precipitation patterns
    • Increased risk of water scarcity and food insecurity

Carbon Footprint

  • A carbon footprint refers to the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by human activities, usually expressed in terms of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e).
  • The main sources of carbon footprint are:
    • Energy consumption (electricity, transportation, heating)
    • Food production and transportation
    • Waste management
    • Industrial processes
  • Reducing carbon footprint can be achieved through:
    • Energy efficiency and renewable energy sources
    • Sustainable transportation options (e.g. electric vehicles, public transport)
    • Reducing meat consumption and food waste
    • Implementing sustainable waste management practices

Rising Sea Levels

  • Rising sea levels are a consequence of climate change, caused by:
    • Thermal expansion of seawater as it warms
    • Melting of glaciers and ice sheets
  • The impacts of rising sea levels include:
    • Coastal erosion and flooding
    • Saltwater intrusion into freshwater sources
    • Loss of coastal ecosystems and biodiversity
    • Increased risk of water scarcity and food insecurity

Sustainable Living

  • Sustainable living refers to a lifestyle that minimizes harm to the environment and conserves natural resources for future generations.
  • Sustainable living practices include:
    • Reducing energy consumption and switching to renewable energy sources
    • Using eco-friendly products and reducing waste
    • Eating a plant-based diet and reducing food waste
    • Conserving water and reducing water pollution
    • Implementing sustainable transportation options
  • The benefits of sustainable living include:
    • Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating climate change
    • Improving air and water quality
    • Protecting biodiversity and ecosystems
    • Enhancing human health and well-being
