Causes and Effects

Manufacturing industries, means of transportation, commercial businesses, residential homes, and agricultural practices are putting too much carbon dioxide in the air.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Temperatures are rising.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ocean temperatures are rising.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Too many trees are being cut down to make room for more buildings and homes.

 

This is making our atmosphere thicker causing rays from the sun to get trapped and making the earth warmer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Glaciers are melting causing sea levels to rise.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Higher sea levels also mean more flooding and changing coastlines.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Many animal species are having to find new homes and ways of surviving to deal with the heat.  Their habitats are being changed so quickly that many of them are becoming endangered.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Coral reefs are dying. Which is not a good sign for the fish and sea life. The bleaching reefs are home to many species of fish.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Higher water temperatures also cause stronger storms (like hurricanes).

 

 

 

 

Less oxygen is being released into the air. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Many animal habitats are being destroyed.
