Greenhouse Gasses & Carbon Footprint
Key differences
100

Adding solar panels to your home, or switching to an electric vehicle

What is Carbon Neutral

100

This is what you expect for a region over time

What is Climate

100

carbon-negative concretes, biochar, and renewable natural gas.

What is Carbon Negative

100

These are atmospheric components that trap heat, leading to the greenhouse effect and ultimately, climate change.

What is Greenhouse Gasses

100

Key differences include:

-Time scale; Longterm vs. Shortterm

-Factors; Atmopsheric conditions

What is Weather vs. Climate

200

This is the long-term warming of the earth due to the increase in average global temperatures

What is Climate Change

200

solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal, and biomass energy

What is Renewable Energies

200

This is long-term genetic changes in a species or population that enable it to better survive and reproduce in a changing environment. 


What is Adaptation

200

This is the total amount of greenhouse gases (including carbon dioxide and methane) that are generated by our actions


What is Carbon Footprint


200

Key differences include:

Impact and emissions balance

What is Carbon Negative vs Carbon Neutral


300

These are short-term physiological or behavioral adjustments made by an individual to cope with changes due to its environment


What is Acclimation

300

This removes more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than is emitted 

What is Carbon Negative

300

This is a state where the amount of greenhouse gas emissions (specifically carbon dioxide) is released into the atmosphere and balanced by the amount of emissions. 

What is Carbon Neutral

300

____ (specifically carbon dioxide) is released into the atmosphere and balanced by the amount of emissions.

What is Greenhouse Gasses

300

Key differences include:

-time scale; long-term vs. short-term

-mechanism: genetic changes vs. physiological or behaviroal adjustments

What is Adaptation vs Acclimation


400

The the long-term average atmospheric conditions in a specific region, including precipitation, temperature, and other factors.

What is Climate

400

The short-term atmospheric conditions in a specific time and place, ___ changes from day to day and even hour to hour at times.

What is Weather

400

This directly impacts climate change by contributing to greenhouse gas emissions

What is Waste

400

Greenhouse gasses produce this into the atmosphere

What is Emmisions

400

Key differences include:

-focus; longterm warming

-tone; critical and severe vs. gradual increase

What is Climate Change vs Climate Crisis


500

Human-caused greenhouse gas emissions, particularly from burning fossil fuels, are the primary driver of climate change.

What is Emissions

500

This emphasizes the critical and severe consequences of climate change including intense natural disasters, ecosystem disruption, and sea-level rise

What is Climate Crisis

500

long necks of giraffes for feeding in the tops of trees

What is Adaptation

500

Carbon Footprint examples:

your daily commute, the food you eat, the clothes you buy, everything you throw away


500

Key differences include:

-availability; replenished vs. eventually run out

-environmental impact; natural resources vs. finite resources

What is Renewable vs Non-renewable energies
