The Earth is All We Have!

Everything I learned today!

Does the Earth operate off of energy?

The energy from the Earth comes from fossil fuels. Each morning the sun rises, within the same day, the sun sets. The sun is an open system with the regard to energy. Basically, the sun is an open system, and the matter is a closed system.  Humans living on the Earth lye upon the troposphere within the atmosphere. The stratosphere allows the transfer of gasses through the system.

Why does the Earth get hot?

The sun!

The problem is that we're using fossil fuels rather than the sun. Everyday activities such as driving the car, using a stove in your house, we are creating combustion. 

Effects- breathing, causes cancer, stop plants from growing, generates a lot of heat.

Where do green house gasses come from?

Fossil fuels! The way we generate waste and get rid of it causes methane gasses to fill and burn. We allow fires to occur, derived transportation, industrial agriculture.

FUN FACT ABOUT COWS!

The main reason cows are a problem on the Earth- they fart a lot & cause extra heat.

When it comes to climate change the main message is "WE MUST CHANGE". The question is "Can we change?" The ability to change seems hard and unreachable. 

- There is a way we can organize the world to not have these problems. Sadly, as humans, we are stupid.

As humans, we draw on energy. We depend on using energy every day to live.

What is an anomaly? 

Unexpected deviation. 

What is the hottest year ever measured?

2016!

The ocean is getting warmer... why is this a problem?

We are bleaching out our coral reefs. That means we are taking away our habitats from these reefs. We are creating dead oceans. 

Warm oceans are also creating storms because of the air above the ocean. This makes hurricanes much stronger. 

Why do hurricanes occur?

The extra heat that evaporates more water from the ocean, causing bigger downpours and floods. At the same time, the land loses all its moisture from the atmosphere because it is hot. 

Glaciers

are melting

Oceans

are warming

Fires

are increasing

HOW CAN WE MAKE CHANGE OCCUR?

Normally, the Earth allows enough heat to escape. The Earth was able to self - regulate itself. 
* The Earth stayed with in boundaries where humans can sustain life.
* The technology.
*Avoid green house gasses.

If we got into a nuclear war...
The fires of the war would cause a nuclear winter... but humans would most likely die because of loss of food.

The U.S. Department of Defense
Climate change "will likely lead to food and water shortages, pandemic disease, disputes over refugees and... natural disasters in regions across the globe."

Climate change is a medical issue, cancer causing, loss of species due to habitat.
