An t-Athrú Aeráide Flashcards
Climate matters are being spoken about
Tá cúrsaí aeráide go mór i mbéal an phobail faoi láthair
The theme of climate change is about the change in the normal pattern of weather
Is éard is brí leis an téarma athrú aeráide ná an t-athrú an ghnáthphatrún na haimsire in áit faoi leith le linn tréimhse ama
Storm Ophelia happened in 2017. Schools and work closed
Bhí stoirm Ophelia ann i 2017. Dúnadh scoileanna agus an ionad oibre
In 2018, there was a heatwave in Ireland and again in summer 2020
I samhradh 2018, bhí tonn teasa in Éireann agus arís sa samhradh 2020
The temperature was above the mean all around the country
Bhí an teocht os cionn an mheáin ar fud na tíre
According to the climate scientists, the planet is getting hotter, that is the reason for climate change
Dar leis na heolaithe aeráide, tá an pláinéad éag éirí níos teo agus is é an méadú at theocht an Domhain is cúis leis an athrú aeráide
The ice caps in the North Pole melt when the earth gets hotter
Leánn na hoighearchaidhpeanna ag an Mol Thuaidh nuair a ardaíonn teocht an domhain
In Ireland, the changes in the weather pattern can be seen
In Éireann, tá athruithe le feiceáil ar na patrúin aimsire anois
The days in the summer are hotter and there are more bad storms in the winter
Bíonn laethanta an tsamhraidh níos teo agus bíonn níos mó drochstoirmeacha ann sa gheimhreadh
The ways people live have a big influence on the temperature of the world and climate change
Bíonn tíonchar mór ar slí mhaireachtála daoine at theocht an Domhain agus ar an athrú aeráide
The reason for the rise in temperature, is the rise in CO2 released into the atmosphere
Cúis amháin atá leis an ardú ar theocht an Domhain ná an t-ardú ar an méid den ghás dé-ocsaíd charbóin atá á scaoileadh amach san atmaisféar
Petrol and diesel are burned in vehicles and planes
Dóitear peitreal agus díosal sna hinnill i bhfeithiclí agus in eitleáin
Trees take in CO2 from the atmosphere, helping to heal the planet
Glacann na crainn dé-ocsaíd charbóin isteach ón atmaisféar agus cabhraíonn sé sin leis an bpláinéad a fhuarú
But when the trees are felled, they are not there to suck in the CO2 in the atmosphere
Ach nuair a leagtar crainn ní bhíonn siad ann níos mó chun an dé-ocsaíd charbóin a shú isteach ón atmaisféar
There’s various ways mentioned in the governments climate plan to reduce carbon levels in the atmosphere by 2030
Tá bealaí éagsúla luaite i bplean aeráide an rialtas chun leibhéal an charbóin san atmaisféar a ísliú sa tír faoin mbliain 2030
Carbon taxes
Cánacha carbóin
COP26 was in Glasgow, Scotland in November 2021
Bhí COP26 ar siúl i nGlaschú in Albain i mí na Samhna 2021
The leaders of the world were discussing the crisis about climate change
Bhí ceannairí ó gach cearn de domhan ag plé na géarchéime maidir leis an athrú aeráide
It is the responsibility of every country that is well off to do a bit more to solve the issue of climate change
Tá sé ar dualgas ar gach tír atá go maith as níos mo a dhéanamh chun na fadhbanna a bhain leis an athrú aeráide a réiteach
The leaders of over 100 countries promised to put an end to deforestation by 2030
Geallfaidh ceannairí ó bhreis is 100 tír inniu go gcuirfidh siad deireadh leis an dífhoraoisiú faoin mbliain 2030
It’s the plan against deforestation, it was the first notable agreement made at this decisive conference
Is é an plean i leith na dífhoraoisiú, an chéad mhargadh suntasach a rinneadh ag an gcomhdháil chinniúnach
These forests support the community, occupations of the people, they make food available and they take in carbon that we pump into the atmosphere
Tacaíonn na foraoisí le pobail, le slithe beatha daoine, le bia a chur ar fáil agus glacann siad isteach an carbóin a phumpáil isteach san atmaisféar againn
