2015 - Paris agreement - that we work with over 120 country and territories to reduce their greenhouse gas emission and meet the challenges climate change. but you know that we still have not woken up.
- .More frequent and severe heatwaves:
- More intense weather events
- Food and water security
- Rising sea levels
- Biodiversity loss:
- Health impacts:
- global warming
- Global warming refers to the long-term increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans. It is primarily caused by the release of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide into the atmosphere from human activities like burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and agriculture.
- These gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere and lead to the greenhouse effect, which causes the Earth's surface temperature to increase. The increase in temperature can have a wide range of impacts, including rising sea levels, more frequent and severe heatwaves, changes in precipitation patterns, and more intense weather events like hurricanes and wildfires.
KNOWLEDGE OF THE EARTH
Earth is the third planet from the sun and the only planet in our solar system known to support life.
Earth has a diameter of about 12,742 km and a mass of about 5.97 x 10^24 kg.
About 71% of Earth's surface is covered by water, with the remaining 29% being land.
The atmosphere of Earth is composed of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and trace amounts of other gases.
Earth's magnetic field is produced by the motion of molten iron in its core, which protects the planet from harmful solar radiation.
The highest point on Earth is Mount Everest, which is located in the Himalayas and reaches a height of 8,848 meters.
The lowest point on Earth is the Challenger Deep, which is located in the Mariana Trench and reaches a depth of 10,994 meters.
Earth is the only planet in our solar system known to have tectonic plates, which cause earthquakes and volcanic activity.
The oldest rocks on Earth are about 4 billion years old, while the planet itself is thought to be about 4.5 billion years old.
Earth's rotation is gradually slowing down, which means that the length of a day is getting longer over time.
Earth is not a perfect sphere, but is slightly flattened at the poles and bulges at the equator due to its rotation.
The ozone layer in Earth's atmosphere helps protect life on the planet by absorbing harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
Earth's moon is the fifth largest moon in the solar system and is thought to have formed from debris left over after a collision between Earth and another planet.
The Earth's climate has fluctuated over its history, with periods of both global warming and global cooling.
The largest desert on Earth is Antarctica, which is also the coldest place on the planet.
Earth is home to an estimated 8.7 million species of plants and animals, although many of these have yet to be discovered.
The sound of thunder is caused by the rapid expansion of air heated by a lightning bolt.
The Earth's rotation and its tilt on its axis give us the four seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter.
The Earth's gravitational pull is strong enough to keep the moon in orbit around it, but not strong enough to hold onto the gases that make up its atmosphere.
Earth has been struck by many large asteroids over its history, some of which have caused mass extinctions of species
.
Burning fossil fuels: The burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas releases large amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
Deforestation: Cutting down trees releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and reduces the amount of carbon dioxide that trees can absorb.
Industrial processes: Manufacturing, transportation, and other industrial processes also release large amounts of greenhouse gases.
Agriculture: The use of fertilizers, pesticides, and other chemicals in agriculture can release nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas.
Landfills: Decomposing organic matter in landfills releases methane, another potent greenhouse gas.
Livestock farming: Methane is also released during the digestion process of cows and other livestock.
Transportation: Cars, trucks, and other vehicles that run on fossil fuels release large amounts of greenhouse gases.
Energy production: The production of electricity from fossil fuels also releases large amounts of greenhouse gases.
Wasting energy: Wasting energy by leaving lights and appliances on when not in use, or using inefficient appliances, contributes to the overall amount of greenhouse gases produced.
Overconsumption: The consumption of goods and services that require large amounts of energy and resources to produce also contributes to the overall amount of greenhouse gases produced.
Failure to recycle: Failing to recycle reduces the amount of materials that can be reused and increases the need for new materials, which require energy to produce.
Overuse of plastic: The production and disposal of plastic products contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.
Ignoring climate change: Ignoring the problem of climate change and failing to take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions exacerbates the problem.
Inadequate policies: Inadequate policies or lack of enforcement of existing policies can allow greenhouse gas emissions to continue unchecked.
Disregarding the environment: Disregarding the impacts of human activities on the environment and ecosystems can lead to the release of greenhouse gases and exacerbate climate change.
