What is Climate Change?

- The complex shifts now affecting our
planet’s weather and climate systems
- It encompasses not only rising average
temperatures but also extreme weather events,
shifting populations and habitats, rising seas,
and a range of other impacts.

 CAUSES
4
 Causes
⪢ B urning coal, oil and gas
produces carbon dioxide and
nitrous oxide.
⪢ When we burn fossil fuels like
coal, oil and gas to create
electricity or power our cars,
we release CO2 pollution into
the atmosphere.
⪢ Increasing livestock farming.
⪢ Cows and sheep produce
large amounts of methane
when they digest their food.
5
⪢ C utting down forests
( deforestation) .
⪢ Plants and trees play an
important role in
regulating the climate
because they absorb
carbon dioxide from the air
and release oxygen back
into it.
⪢ Fertilisers containing
nitrogen
⪢ Some fertilisers that farmers
use also release nitrous oxide,
which is another greenhouse
gas.

Forests, farms, and cities will face

those factors will damage or destroy
agriculture and fisheries.
