Water vapor, nitrous oxide, Carbon dioxide, and Methane are all a part of gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect, they're called "Feedbacks" and they act in response to the changes in the temperature. 

Floods, droughts, and extreme temperatures are known as "Climate Extremes" and they can lead to crop losses and threaten the livelihoods of agricultural producers and the food security of communities worldwide. 

Over the last century, the burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil has increased the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide. The process of this is when the coal or oil is burning it combines carbon with the oxygen in the air to make carbon dioxide.

Clearing land of agriculture, industries, and many other things has increased the concentrations of greenhouse gasses.

Greenhouse Gasses are essential to life on Earth, keeping some of the Sun's warmth to keep Earth habitable. However, after more than half a century of deforestation, industrialization, and agriculture, the greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere have risen to levels that haven't been as high in 3 million years. Greenhouse gasses are linked to the Earth's temperature.

In the 1880s the global temperature was 13.73 C and 56.71 F, but now in the 2000s and later, it has increased by 0.85 C.

Climate change is a serious problem. Climate change can alter the health of animals, people and all inhabitants. Scientists speculate that climate change will gradually get worse over the years. Some effects of climate change that are happening right now are the shrinking of the artic glaciers, the breakage and melting of ice on rivers, plant and animal ranges have shifted, also you can look outside and see that trees around Maple Shade are flowering sooner. Some future effects of climate change are loss of sea ice, accelerated sea levels rise, and longer and more intense heatwaves. Climate change causes more heat stress, an increase in waterborne diseases, poor air quality, and more extreme weather events like hurricanes.

You do not need to do much in order to make a change; you can do small things. Simple things such as taking shorter showers, unplugging your electronics, recycling, composting, and growing vegetables.  

One of the biggest ways you can help is using your voice! Spread awareness on what is happening to the climate, and protest if you can.

Doing this allows change to occur over time! If everyone makes small changes in their lives, we can slow down our carbon footprint as a whole.

• Oceans cover 70% of our Earth

• Only 2% of Earth's water is fresh

• 140 gallons of water are consumed by the average American daily
