Understanding my role in climate change and how it affects me

 "Global warming" describes an average temperature increase of the Earth over time.  "Climate change" describes how weather patterns will be affected around the globe.  (includes temperature and how that impacts the water cycle (ice melt, precipitation, and their impact on weather patterns)  - NC State University

All living things on Earth have carbon in them Carbon combines easily with other elements to form new compounds  Remember this cycle: Source: Buzzle.com

 When fossil fuels burn, we mostly get three things: heat, water, and CO 2.  We also get some solid forms of carbon, like soot and grease.  All that carbon stored in all those plants and animals over hundreds of millions of years is getting pumped back into the atmosphere over just one or two hundred years  Source: NASA Climate Kids

 Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas – so it helps trap heat close to Earth So, its good….up to a point. National Geographic: Worldwide Carbon Dioxide Emissions Map Unit converter 1000 tonnes (metric ton) = 2,204,623 pounds

 Greenhouse gases are made out of:  Water vapor  Carbon dioxide  Methane (CH4) – Found in animal waste & production in digestion, emitted from landfills as waste breaks down, emitted when natural gas and oil are burned

 Nitrous oxide – (Nitrogen cycle) – emitted through agriculture, industrial process, wastewater management and fossil fuel consumption

 Ozone -- Ozone - (ground level) - Formed when nitrogen oxides and VOC (volatile organic compounds) react in the presence of sunlight  Eg. VOC - Emissions from industries, electric utilities, motor vehicles, and chemical solvents  Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) - used to be used in aerosols, refrigerators, air conditioners, they are a VOC

Carbon footprint The amount of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide, emitted into the atmosphere by a person, company, country, etc activities. What can I do to reduce carbon footprint?
