Climate Science

Earth's greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere and warm the planet. The main gases responsible for the greenhouse effect include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, water vapour (which all occur naturally), and fluorinated gases (which are synthetic). this is a huge part of climate change and the rise of temperatures.

David Suzuki Foundation gives 10 things you can do to take climate action:https://davidsuzuki.org/what-you-can-do/top-10-ways-can-stop-climate-change/for so my 3 top picks on what I would do is:green your commute, take other ways to get to your destination like walking or biking and if it is a fair way away take a bus or commute.urge your government to step up and do something for once.eat climate healthy meals, this can help by removing the factor of large factories which omit a lot of greenhouse gasses, eat some fresh-picked or farmed food as an alternative.

The Act ensures transparency and accountability as the government works to deliver on its targets. The Act requires public participation and independent advice to guide the Government of Canada’s efforts.

They talk about climate change and how to prevent it from destroying our beautiful planet. the COP meets every single year unless some of the parties decide not to.

Include an evaluation of the solutions to climate change. Write a short reflection stating your opinion about the solutions: Which do you think will be the most effective? What are some of the pros and cons of them? Government (including United Nations), Citizens (including NGOs) and Industry has a responsibilitiy to address these issues- who do you think is doing enough (if anyone) and /or who do you think is not pulling their weight in addressing these issues?

As you travel further from the equator the sun's rays are more spread out at the poles, so less concentrated sun's energy makes it colder at the poles.

Warm Ocean Currents carry warm air and affect coastal areas, Cold Ocean Currents carry cold air and affect coastal areas.

Prevailing Winds bring cold air from Arctic Regions or Warm Air from Tropical. this can affect many thinf because

The presences or absence of mountain ranges can block air masses or not.

The higher in altitude you go the colder it is

Large bodies of water moderate the climate of an area.

Humans are adding GHGs to the atmosphere, trapping more heat energy near the surface.
