GREENHOUSE EFFECT, GLOBAL WARMING & CLIMATET CHANGE  Identify human activities that increase greenhouse gases; Explain how global warming can affect weather patterns, sea levels, and ecosystems; and Identify various solutions to combat climate change. WhatWhat makes Earth habitable? is atmosphere?  The greenhouse effect is the process through which heat is trapped near Earth's surface by substances known as 'greenhouse gases.'  Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) What are the sources of Water vapor?  Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) What are the sources of Carbon dioxide?  Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) What are the sources of methane?  Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) What are the sources of Nitrous oxide?  Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) What are the sources of ozone?  Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) What are the sources of F-gases? Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)  Energy Production The burning of fossil fuels for electricity, heat, and transportation is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions. Agriculture Livestock, rice cultivation, and fertilizer use contribute significant amounts of methane and nitrous oxide.  Deforestation Deforestation and other land use changes release stored carbon and reduce the Earth's natural carbon sinks. Industries Manufacturing processes, chemical production, and other industrial activities generate greenhouse gas emissions.  Commercial & Residential Burning fossil fuels for heat and the use of gases for refrigerator and cooling in buildings Population Growth Greenhouse gases will continue to increase if more people use fossil fuels for electricity, transportation, etc.  The rapid increase of temperature in the atmosphere due to the greenhouse gases. Refers to long-term shifts in global or regional climate patterns.  Heatwaves Drought Flood The frequency, duration, Droughts have become Heavy rainfall events and and intensity of more common in many coastal flooding have heatwaves have regions, contributing to become more frequent, increased, leading to water scarcity, crop causing widespread damage more heat-related failures, and increased to infrastructure and illnesses and deaths. risk of wildfires. displacing communities.  1 2 3 Renewable energy Reforestation Energy Efficiency Transitioning to renewable Planting and Improving energy energy sources, such as protecting forests can efficiency in buildings, solar, wind, and help absorb and store transportation, and hydropower, can carbon dioxide, industry can help reduce significantly reduce offsetting emissions energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. from human activities. emissions.  Solar Power Wind Energy Electric Vehicles Harnessing the sun's Wind power is a Transitioning from energy through solar rapidly growing gasoline-powered energy can significantly renewable energy vehicles to electric cars reduce greenhouse gas source that produces can help lower emissions. electricity without any transportation-related emissions. emissions. I.
