Climate change - fossil fuels

Aim: To look at the causes of climate change and how to prevent it.

What is our greatest threat in thousands of years ?
The world ending and not having an earth to live on.Due to climate change flooding storms plastic and carbon dioxide such as the temperature.

How do we see climate change affecting the globe?
  
Here are four ways I see climate change affecting the globe:

1 Storms
2 Flooding 
3 Higher sea levels
4 Pollution 

What is needed to change history?
The temperature because that causes the sea levels to be higher due to the ice melting.But we also need to stop carbon dioxide because it makes our air not very good and makes a warm blanket around our world causes it to get warmer and hotter over the years. Which we could shut down fossil fuel factories.We also need to stop using plastic because that also causes water levels rising because it goes down to the bottom of the sea and that water rises up.

Is climate change a man made disaster?
I think climate change is definitely  a man made disaster because we opened up the fossil fuel factories which created the warm blanket around earth with carbon dioxide. But we also invented plastic which caused pollution on our earth.

Dramatic action must be made in the next 10 or so years to change it?

Why is our climate changing?
Pollution such as plastic and rubber.But also because of carbon dioxide because of the warm blanket.

What is causing the warming trend of the climate?
The carbon dioxide which is because of fossil fuels such as coal and oil which is petrol gas.Its killing our earth our animals and us as humans.

What is the main problem?
To me it is fossil fuel coal petrol oil gas and carbon dioxide. Because it's changing the temperature causing the water levels to rise.But it is also plastic because it's killing our sea life and animals.

What are examples of these ?
Heat waves, Drafts and Flooding.But that's my opinion.
Burning fossil fuels releases what gas?
Coal petrol oil and carbon dioxide.

How much hotter now is our world?
It is currently 1 degree hotter then what it was 100 years ago.

What do we call this global warming?
Climate change 




How is this affecting creatures / animals like bats?
Causing them two overheat and they are not used to this heat and weather changing causing them to become extinct or not many of them will be able to live anymore.

What percentage of species are near extinction?
Eight percent of the species are near extinct.

How could this affect the world ecosystems?
It could make the earth collapse and break.

What global change was seen and recording breaking last year?
The massive record breaking fires over in California destroying so many things that it costs  24 million dollars to replace.Some people even got stuck because it was so unexpected.

How is climate change affecting our weather systems?
1. there's more moisture in the air that will cause more rain.
2. Extreme massive storms in the near future if we don't stop.
3. Flooding and higher sea levels because Antarctic and the Arctic have lots 4 trillion of ice because of the temperature.

What is another effect of climate change?
Another effect of climate change is building or building higher.
What will happen if the ice melts in Antarctica and the Arctic?
There will be no Antarctica and no Arctic because it would have all melted away. Our land will disappear due to flooding and water levels rising.

How does this affect people?

This affects us because we will have no land to live on it would have gone disappeared underneath our oceans due to the flooding and water levels rising.

What other things affect oceans change?

Plastic and oil spills it kills our animals and us but also our heat.

What does too much heat do to the coral?
It kills the sea life because the coral can't handle the heat down there. 

Why did some industries not want to stop burning fossil fuels?

Because they want the money and there trying to get the oil for cars that use petrol and not Solar and electricity.


Investigation

You can decide on how you would like to do this investigation. Your presentation could be on the blog, slides, or Powerpoint.

Write a definition, upload an image and list where these fossil fuels are mined.

Coal is a hard rock which can be burned as a solid fossil fuel. It is mostly carbon but also contains hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. It is a sedimentary rock by the pressure of rocks laid down later on top.(A sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the deposition of small particles)
Oil - An oil is any nonpolar chemical substance that is a dangerous liquid at very high  temperatures and is hydrophobic.Which is also very bad for our planet/earth.
Natural Gas - Natural gas has methane in it  and sometimes a small percentage of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen and  helium. But all of them are just as bad as each other.

Solar - it is used for power in your home and other places so just for power and also like photo mechanical
Wind -     you can also use wind for mechanical power  it can also be used for pumping grinding or grain  it can be used in specific reasons like business school's homes and others so it is also like power 
Waves -  Waves is about the temperature in the water so the level  so if it is a wave it would be bodily which is a wave and no wave would be piling up the water if you don't know what bodily mean it is when you take it at your own risk and take a body to body so one by one if you don't know what piling is it is heavy stakes or posts 

Hydro - hydro is like the oldest energy we have had in our world/planet but it is generating power when flowing water spins a wheel or turbine it is more used by farmers as way back for grain and hay.


Write a 5 sentence reflection about how climate change is going to change our world. 

I think that climate change is going to change our earth because it is going to affect our earth and completely kill it. But if that happens we will not have an earth to live on and soon nothing to drink because it will kill us. We need to make a change soon before we can’t stop this as in investing to get an electric car or even walking more places. Just anything that you think will benefit or help our earth become better.
