Science of Climate Change
This gas is the main driver of climate change.
What is carbon dioxide?
These help to keep the world's climate cool on Earth.
What are polar ice caps?
The year we will have to reach net-zero carbon emissions to avoid the worst of climate change.
What is 2050?
These gases trap heat in Earth's atmosphere.
What are greenhouse gases?
This greenhouse gas is around 300 times more potent than CO2, but only makes up around 6 percent of greenhouse gas emissions.
What is Nitrous Oxide?
Switching to this kind of energy generation can help reduce climate change.
What are renewable energy resources?
This is the largest natural source of methane pollution.
What are wetlands?
Scientists use this to determine what carbon levels were like in the atmosphere hundreds of thousands of years ago.
What is polar ice?
This is a major consequence of melting ice caps.
What are rising sea levels?
The natural process used by plants that helps absorb CO2 from the atmosphere.
What is photosynthesis?
This is how climate change increases global sea levels.
What is thermal expansion and the melting of land-based ice?
This natural process helps to reduce climate change by removing CO2 from the atmosphere.
What is photosynthesis?
This is the amount the temperature has risen on Earth since the late 19th century.
What is 2 degrees Fahrenheit (1 degrees Celsius)?
These are the three biggest emitters of greenhouse gases.
What are China, the United States, and India?
This is one way we can increase photosynthesis.
What is planting more trees?
