    The document discusses several key causes and effects of climate change: 1) Burning fossil fuels and activities like deforestation, industrialization, and overfishing have increased greenhouse gas emissions and reduced biodiversity, exacerbating global warming. 2) Global warming is causing rising sea levels, worsening droughts, and more frequent extreme weather events like typhoons. 3) Climate change, defined as long-term shifts in weather patterns, poses an increasing threat and countries are working to reduce their carbon footprints to mitigate further impacts.

    investing in schemes and procedures in an attempt to reduce their carbon footprint.

    a. Warming

    b. Global Temperature

    c. Global Warming

    d. Rising of Sea Level

    Is a change in the usual weather found in a place

    a. Frequent Typhoons

    b. Climate Change

    c. Worsening of droughts

    d. Melting of Galciers
    Burning fossil fuels releases carbon and other types of pollutants into the atmosphere.

    a. Transport and Vehicles

    b. Oil Drilling

    c. Deforestation

    d. Oil and Gases

    Is mostly due to a combination of melt water from glaciers and ice sheets and thermal
    expansion of seawater as it warms.

    a. Deforestation

    b. Melting of Glaciers

    c. Rising of Sea Level

    d. Worsening of Droughts

    Even in areas where precipitation does not decrease, these increases in surface
    evaporation and loss of water from plants lead to more rapid drying of soils.

    a. Rising of Sea Level

    b. Worsening of Droughts

    c. Climate Change

    d. Power Plants

    Was originally scientifically discovered in the early nineteenth century.

    a. Climate Change

    b. Global Temperature

    c. Frequent Typhoons

    d. Consumerism
    Takes up a lot of green space meaning local environments can be destroyed to create
    space

    a. Farming

    b. Consumerism

    c. Waste

    d. Power Plants

    This creates moisture in the air.

    a. Tsunami

    b. Melting Glaciers

    c. Frequent Typhoons

    d. Rising of Sea Level

    It is caused by increased concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere

    a. Climate Change

    b. Consumerism

    c. Power Plants

    d. Rise of Global Temperature

    Is characterized as a significant change in average weather conditions over several


    decades or more, such as circumstances becoming warmer, wetter, or drier

    a. Climate Change

    b. Consumerism

    c. Waste

    d. Rise of Global Temperature


    Due to the industrial revolution, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions
    have raised temperatures, even higher in the poles

    a. Climate Change

    b. Melting of Glaciers

    c. Rising of Sea Level

    d. Frequent Typhoons

    Used to collect petroleum oil hydrocarbons in this process other gases are released into
    the atmosphere

    a. Consumerism

    b. Oil and Gases

    c. Oil Drilling

    d. Deforestation

    items we purchase aren't very sustainable, and because of the reduced lifetimeof
    electronics and clothing items, we are creating more waste than ever.

    a. Farming

    b. Waste

    c. Power Plants
