Climate: weather patterns over a long enough time to yield meaningful averages, When temperatures are too warm for coral polyps to expel algae that live inside their tissues., 75%, Wind, solar, hydroelectric, tidal, wave, ground source heat pump and geothermal energy are all types of renewable energy., It's mistaken for plants & other wildlife used for food. Marine life can also get tangled in it preventing them from moving and in some cases is fatal, Precipitation, evaporation, freezing & melting and condensation. global process of water circulation from clouds to land, to the ocean, and back to the clouds., A type of organism that is at risk of extinction, approximately 26% of global GHG emissions., China, The vast majority, 79 percent, is accumulating in landfills or sloughing off in the environment as litter., Sea turtle gender is determined by the temperatures during fertilization. Warming trends could skew the balance of offspring and future populations., one large tree is able to supply a day’s supply of oxygen for four people.

Forests produce oxygen and provide homes for both people and animals. Forests also provide food, water, clothing, and traditional medicine and act as carbon sinks., Nearly 140 countries (70%) by 2050 which would decrease global warming and preventing millions of premature deaths and generating jobs., No, changes in climate are partially due to natural forces, and mostly to human activity., 97%, 100 per day, Urbanization, climate change, overexploitation of species, Renewable energy accounts for 13.5% of the world’s total energy supply, and 22% of the world's electricity, China has a roaring industrial sector that makes it number 1., Heat waves, drought, hurricanes, floods, They can damage organs and increase exposure to toxic chemicals. This can threaten immune function, growth and reproduction. This has potentially larger implications up the food chain for humans., The effects of increased temperature exhibit a larger impact on grain yield than on vegetative growth because of the increased minimum temperatures., Geothermal energy comes from the Earth. It consists of hot water and hot rock that’s miles beneath the Earth’s surface, and can go even deeper to very hot molten rock called magma. It’s considered clean and sustainable., Compact Fluorescent, The ocean. More specifically, from tiny marine plants, called phytoplankton, floating on the ocean’s surface., 15 - 20%, at least one in six species, A vegan diets have the lowest carbon footprint.

Its effects can range from higher disease risks to rising temperatures., Narwhals, 65 million, 40%, Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation, climate change leads to warming temperatures causing more evaporation. Rising temperatures and increased moisture in the atmosphere, make the chances for extreme weather that much greater, Human activities. Directly or indirectly anthropologic actions are the leading cause, increase in sea level could threaten many coastal ecosystems. Also at risk are mangrove forests and low-lying freshwater wetlands, The capacity for doing work. Energy has several forms, some of which are easily convertible and can be changed to another form useful for work., Water vapour, If greenhouse gas emissions are reduced in every country around the world, it will cause a slowdown of global temperatures rising and therefore a decline in extreme weather., World biodiversity has declined alarmingly in half a century: more than 25,000 species, almost a third of those known, are in danger of disappearing.
