How People Change Greenhouse Gases and Weather: Easy Climate Facts

Climate change is a complex phenomenon affecting Earth's temperature and atmospheric composition, with significant impacts on global ecosystems and human activities.

  • The Earth's climate system is experiencing unprecedented warming, with CO2 levels reaching historic highs
  • Sources of information about past climate shifts include deep-sea mineral deposits, pollen grains, coral reefs, and polar ice cores
  • Impact of human activities on greenhouse gases is evident through fossil fuel combustion, deforestation, and industrial processes
  • The difference between climate and weather changes lies in their temporal and spatial scales, with climate representing long-term patterns
  • Multiple observable impacts include glacier retreat, permafrost degradation, and changes in wildlife behavior
  • Solutions involve both individual and collective actions, from tree planting to reducing fossil fuel consumption

Page 2: Human Impact and Climate Change Solutions

The second page details specific human activities contributing to greenhouse gas concentrations and their observed impacts on the environment. It also provides practical solutions for addressing climate change at an individual level.

Definition: Permafrost degradation refers to the thawing of permanently frozen ground, which can release additional greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

Example: Observable impacts of climate change include the thinning of Arctic Sea ice by 40% during late summer to early autumn, and a 10% decrease in snow cover areas.

Highlight: The page emphasizes that positive action is possible through simple measures like planting trees, recycling, and reducing fossil fuel consumption.

Quote: "It is easy when thinking about global warming to forget that Earth - over the billions of years of its existence - has experienced a number of extended periods of severe climate change."

Vocabulary: HFCs HydrofluorocarbonsHydrofluorocarbons, PFCs PerfluorocarbonsPerfluorocarbons, and SF6 SulfurHexafluorideSulfur Hexafluoride are industrial greenhouse gases contributing to climate change.

Page 1: Earth's Changing Climate and Atmospheric Systems

The first page introduces fundamental concepts about Earth's climate system and the distinction between weather and climate patterns. The content explores various greenhouse gases and their sources, while explaining how we study past climate conditions.

Definition: Climate change occurs when the energy balance in the Earth's climate system is altered, affecting all components within it.

Vocabulary: Greenhouse gases are atmospheric gases that trap heat and regulate Earth's temperature, including carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide.

Example: Without greenhouse gases, Earth's average temperature would be approximately -18 degrees Celsius, demonstrating their crucial role in maintaining habitable conditions.

Highlight: Carbon dioxide levels have increased by approximately 30% since the industrial revolution began, primarily due to fossil fuel combustion.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend

Best app if you're in Highschool or Junior high. I have been using this app for 2 school years and it's the best, it's good if you don't have anyone to help you with school work.😋🩷🎀

This app is phenomenal down to the correct info and the various topics you can study! I greatly recommend it for people who struggle with procrastination and those who need homework help. It has been perfectly accurate for world 1 history as far as I’ve seen! Geometry too!
