                Facts Related to Climatic Changes



Ø  Average sea level is expected to rise 1 - 6 feet before the end of this century



Ø  In 1910 Glacier National Park was home to more an estimated 150 glaciers. That number has now shrunk to 25 as of December 2016. This national park is expected to eventually lose all its glaciers. This is only one example of glacial melt that is occurring all over the world. 



Ø  The current pace of global average temperature rise puts approximately 25 to 35 percent of plant and animal species at increased risk of extinction.

                       


Ø  Rain forest destruction contributes to climate change. That's because trees store carbon dioxide as they grow. Clearing and burning forests releases large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere
             



Ø  The world’s coral reefs are in the midst of a global mass die off. As of 2015, coral bleaching is impacted 40% of the world's coral reefs, killing over 4,630 square miles of reefs

 

Ø  Greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, methane and water vapor, trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere and warm the planet  


Ø  The greenhouse effect is an increase in the average temperature of the Earth. Without greenhouse gases, the temperature on Earth would be too cold to support life. With too many greenhouse gases, it would heat up beyond survivable levels.

Is Climate Change a Joke???

Climate Change is a noteworthy and major issue facing the world today, yet a few climatologists and people believe that ‘’Climate Change is a Hoax’’. This term refers to the changes in environments and climates and temperatures experienced by population living in nations all around the world. Even some famous climatologists believe that this is a Hoax or it’s an example of fake science and other believe that it exists however not to the extent that some say. The people who deny it exists have a couple of key reasons behind their belief. On Their Own Experiences : One reason why some people believe that Climate Change is a Hoax because of their own experiences. Those who live in the American Midwest might argument on that, because they still have ice and snow in the winter. As the climates they observed stay the same, they expect that climate change can’t exist because it would otherwise alteration their experiences. Those who believe in climate change point out that the cli...

Effects of Climate Change on Ecosystem

If climate change proceeds unabated, then almost every ecosystem on the earth would alter drastically, accordingly a new paper written by 42 scientists from the world, it will be turning into an entirely new biome. They warn that the progressions of the next 200 years could equal-and may probably exceed-those seen over the 10,000 years that finished the last Ice age. If humanity does not stop transmitting ozone depleting substances discharges, greenhouse gas productions, the character of the land could transform; Oak forest could become grassland. Evergreen woods could turn deciduous. What’s more, obviously beaches would sink into the sea. If carbon discharges continue to grow like this, then anyone who works with the land could face exceptional challenges. “Anywhere on the globe, the more you change climate, the more likely you are to see major ecological change,” says Stephen Jackson, an author of the report and the director of a climate-adaptation Center at th...

      Five Groups Fighting For Climate Change The 5 organization who steadily fights in the front line for climate change 1.  350.org        350.org is building the global grassroots climate movement that can hold our leaders accountable to science and justice.350 uses online campaigns, grassroots organizing, and mass public actions to oppose new coal, oil and gas projects, take money out of the companies that are heating up the planet, and build 100% clean energy solutions that work for all. 350's network extends to 188 countries.                                                          In the Keystone fight, 350.org has partnered with a number of local organizations in the path of the pipeline across North America, including Bold Nebraska, Tar Sands Blockade, the Indigenous Environmental...
