Global Warming

Japan: Heavy rains, heat waves, the Osaka earthquake and Jebi tycoon devestated Japan in 2018 making it the most threatened country by global warming.

Germany: Heat waves in 2018 was the hottest year un the history of the country, this resulted in more thhan 3,500 million dollars for the agriculture sector.

India: Victim of unimaginable heat, flooding, sandstorms and many other colossal natural disasters. In the year 2018, more than 2000 deaths occured and the country was damaged in great value, 37,807 million dollars.

switching to renewable sources of energy helps to prevent global warming because energy forms like solar or wind do not contrivute greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide or methane.

Planting trees removes carbon dioxide form the air because trees and other plants need carbon dioxide to survive.

Recycle more helps to prevent global warming because it reduces the amount of energy required to produce a product. Instead of using metals, if used recyled items mining would be less, meaning lesser carbon dioxide would enter the atmosphere.

Saving energy reduces the amount of fossil fuels needed to power something. If less fossil fuels are used this would mean that there would be less carbon dioxide in our atosphere.

Volcanic activity release large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere which adds the more amounts of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere.

Global warming is caused when heat is trapped in the earth's atmospheres. Gasses like carbon dioxide are a main cause of global warming. Carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere through:

Gasoline usage

Mining

Burning of wood

Burning of natural gas

Burning of fossil fuels

Methane is another gas that causes global warming. This gas is 4 times as worse as carbon dioxide and is produced from cows.

Living conditions: Gases like carbon dioxide and methane are increasingly taking up our atmosphere. If this continues and humans continue to inhale carbon, high concentrated carbon dioxide this can create resperitory problems.

Water deficiency: Due to high temperatures water gets evaporated leaving us humans with less to drink, if global warming gets worse we would continue to reduce our water supplies this can cause serious health problems like diarhea, polio and cholera.

Heatstrokes: Due to high temperatures some peoples bodies cannot handle the heat and they end up suffering a heatstroke. Countries near the equator are likely to face this problem due to the high temperatures.

Intense wildfires: Wildfires are caused because of the increasing temperatures, this makes it easier for fire to spread across a forest. When this happens more carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere and due to trees losing lives their are less trees left to then absorb carbon dioxide which further adds carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Long period of droughts: When temperatures rise, land starts to dry easily which causes droughts, this occurs mostly in warm countries, countries near the equator.

Storm intensity: When water is evaporated due to the heat in the atmosphere, this water becomes a type of fuel for a stronger storm.

Rising of sea levels: This is caused when large sheets of ice are melted. These sheets are melted due to the rising temperatures.

Global warming is when global temperatures start to rise in a certain amount of time due to the greenhouse emmisions continously trapping heat into our atmosphere.

These gasses include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxides and water vapors.

Carbon dioxide: Traps heat into the atmosphere, ultimately raising global temperatures.

Methane: It comes from cows and is the worst gas out of all the greenhouse gasses, it traps 4 times as much as carbon dioxide.

Nitrous oxide: It absorbs radiations and traps heat in the atmosphere

Water vapors: Due to carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous dioxide water starts to evaporates from bodies of water and land areas which further adds heat to the atmosphere, increasing the global temperatures.
