Human effect on Climate change

Burning Fossil Fuels

Releases Greenhouse gasses

Water pollution

Mining of coal

Toxic Materials enter water bodies

Mine waste

Heavy Metals contained in a rock

Copper

Arsenic

Cobalt

Cadmium

Lead

Silver

Zinc

All of these different types of Metals enter the water polluting ecosystems and becomes toxic which can have major effects on humans or species who consume the toxic waste

Acidic water

Oil spills

Big oil spills account for 5-12% of total oil pollution to enter oceans

Oil is released into water when there is in accident in large cooperate industries

These spills cause the water to become contaminated and effect our fresh water that is available to us to drink

The water gets contaminated

Poisnous

Harms animals

Loss of Biodiversity

Air Pollution

Release Nitrogen Oxcides

Smog

Air pollution that reduces visibility

Smoke from Burning coal

Acid rain

Precipitation with acidic components

Fossil fuels produce hazardous air pollutants, including sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and mercury, all of which are harmful to the environment and human health

91% of Humans are breathing in polluted air everyday

1 in 10 people die from air polluted diseases

Global warming

The Burning of Fossil Fuels traps carbon dioxide in our atmosphere raising the temperature

Higher temperatures lead to chain reaction in our environment

Causes dry areas to get drier

Bigger and longer droguhts

Dries out soil and vegitation

water evaportion

Causes wet areas to get wetter

Flodding areas and cities

Melting Arctic sea ice

Raises water levels

Causes Nastural diasasters

Floods

Hurricanes

Destructive Erosion

More water will push up against the surfaces with more force

waves can extend further up and along beaches and cliffs

Strong backwaves will pull material away from the shoreline and into the sea resulting in erosion

Loss of Habitat for animals in the arctic

Narwhales

Arctic Fox

Walrus

Polar bears

Spoken word

Why is it so hot today but tomorrow it’s so cold?
It should be fine, lately, the weather seems to have a mind of its own
NO! It’s not fine
We say the word but don’t know the meaning it brines
Marinates in our minds
The truth resides in the Climate in that we set our life
In the Climate where polar bears are diminishing like high tides
50% of all Polar bears will be lost by 2030
All because humans failed to act
We failed to realize
It’s okay tho,
The consequences will never be big enough to cause a real change
We think we’re so smart
We think this world just needs a kind heart
But in fact it’s quite the opposite
Humans will never learn unless they are punished
Don’t worry our time is coming too
When the entire arctic melts
Where do you expect them to go
Where do you expect them to hunt
Where do you expect them to leave their restless grunts
There will be no more playing with glue or having gum to chew
There will be polar bears roaming the streets
As humans will just become quick eats
2100, 2100 is the year that is projected to be polar bears' last cheer
Could you imagine the havoc that would reek if humans were that near
I'm so sorry to disappoint
No more playing now, Let’s get straight to the point

Oh my bad, were you guys waiting
Cause I was too
Waiting for you to take action
Waiting for you to give a reaction
Climate change is not a joke
It will tear us until we’re broke
No matter how much we speak
It doesn't seem to come out as anything except a small little squeak
36.44 billion metric tons of fossil fuels just in a year
Be careful and keep safe to someone you hold dear
Because The end is near

No point in crying
No point in relaying
Relying on world leaders who don’t even believe that it’s a real thing
While polar bears are living on toxic land
does it not sting
Does it not sting!!
DOES IT NOT STING!!!
We set foot just to abolish these poor little creatures
We wipe out everything just to pocket a little change
The hope is very little but we can’t disengage
Be it Carbon tax or Solar/wind energy
We thought it out so cleverly
Support by protesting, donating or any form of awareness
Life is not long enough to be crying about fairness
Year after year, One step at a time
Stay strong, No fear
Sorry, the end is near

Deforestation

Agriculture and Infrastructure

Agriculture burns down trees in order to cultivate plants and livestock

Responsible for 80% of global deforestation

Growing crops

Rearing animals mainly for food

Infrastructure directly causes deforestation as the economy expands by freeing up more space

Oil mining

generating pollution, fueling climate change, disrupting wildlife and damaging public lands

Roads

Gas facillities

Forest and Tress stores carbon dioxide as they grow

Destruction of forests causes loss of biodiversity, ecological imbalance, soil compaction, soil erosion, flooding, desert encroachment, and disruption of the hydrological cycle

All these problems result to global warming as they release greenhouses gasses

Many animals and species are neglected from their habitat and left to find a new place where they can safely stay

Carbon dioxide gets converted into carbon which is stored in the branches, trunks, roots, leaves and in the soil

Trees and forest being cleared by being burnt or broke down released the carbon back into the atmosphere contributing to climate change

Absorbed through photosynthesis

Timber Harvest

Logging operations

Provides world supplies

Wood

Paper products

Interrupts the normal nutrient cycle of the forest, promotes nitrification, and increases nutrient leaching thereby leaving the topsoil impoverished and susceptible to erosion

Reduces food and water supply

Reduces ability of the soil to store water and nutrients and kills off newly planted crops

Farming Livestock

Produces 18% of the world's greenhouse gasses

Nitrous Oxide

Produced in the urine of cattle and also produced in cow dung

300 times more potent and negative effect on our environment that carbon dioxide

Methane

Methane's effect on our climate is more than 23X that of CO2

Methane traps in the heat of the sun and makes the whole plant warmer

Global warming

Natural disasters

Cattles digest food and release it in the form of methane gas when they burp or fart

One cow produces the same amount of emissions as 1000 liters of petrol each year

Changing the cattle's diet can reduce the level of methane they produce

Meat and Dairy production account for 83% of all agriculture land use

Space for livestock requires to free up land

Significant role in deforestation

Livestock pollutes water in Agriculture harming all species and limiting fresh waters sources

Farming Livestock is super insufficient

Takes up 80% of land but only produces 20% of calories and only 37% of protein

Farming crops takes less than 20% of Agriculture land but produces over 80% of the worlds calories and about 67% of the world's protein

Plant-based agriculture grows 512% more pounds of food than animal-based agriculture on 69% of the mass of land that animal-based agriculture uses

More efficient than livestock farming but still has some negative effects

Vegetarian diet could solve climate change

Accounts for 8-11% of pollution

Toxic Farm chemicals

Nitrogen, nitrates, nitrites, phosphorous, phosphates

Poison fresh water, marine ecosystems, air and soil

Pesticides and Fertilizers

Contaminate soil, water, turf, and other vegetation

Pesticides can be toxic to a host of other organisms including birds, fish, beneficial insects, and non-target plants
