    hurt the polar bears’ habitat. Climate change has been fastly melting the Arctic. Greenhouse gases act like a sheet or blanket that keeps the planet warm. This protective layer keeps our atmosphere habitable. But over the past two-hundred years, have greatly increased the levels of greenhouse gasses in our atmosphere by burning fossil fuels like oil and coal. The consequence of this is that the layer of greenhouse gasses gets even thicker, causing the temperature to rise rapidly. Not only does…

    Global Warming The climate system of Earth responds to changes in external factors that are able to push the climate towards warming or cooling. These factors include changes in atmosphere composition (concentration of greenhouse gases), volcanic eruptions, and solar activity changes. All of these factors combined create current tendency of climate change that is described by the term “global warming”. Global warming is the continuous rise in average temperature of Earth's climate system.…

    Climate change refers to the increase in global temperatures. Among the contributors to the rise in temperature is from human activity itself. Warm planets leads and cause the temperature changes and also affect the weather in many ways. Land and sea temperatures are one way to measure the effects of climate change. A global warming has the potential to alter patterns of rain and snowfall, causing severe storms and droughts, reduced ice on the lake, glaciers melts, rising sea levels, and changes…

    We have learned about fossil fuels, greenhouse gases such as, carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor and nitrous oxide and more. We can confirm that with the burning of fossil fuel, humans increase the levels of greenhouse gases causing the earth and its atmosphere to heat up. Results of global warming and climate change can show that weather pattern are effected. We humans are creating a domino effect, starting with unnatural chemicals, fossil fuels, greenhouse gases, and weather change. Who…
