Causes Of Climate Change Flashcards
What are some unrewnewable energy sources
Coal, biofuel (if we don’t replant), oil, fossil fuels
How is London an unrenewable city
It is very densely populated and it has very flat land, making it very easy to build buildings that emit lots of greenhouse gasses
How could we make our city more renewable
We could use more renewable energy sources and lessen the amount of both C02 emmissions aviation, but also lessen the amount of plastic used

Who are the biggest contributors to Co2 emmissions and why
China due to the fact that they have the world’s largest Co2 emissions and America from invention of combustion engines and large ownership of oil mines
What is the steps of greenhouse gas effect?
- The sun’s rays pass through the atmosphere to earth
- The Earth’s surface is warmed
- Heat is reflected from the Earth back out to the atmosphere
4.Some heat escapes into space - Some heat is trapped by CO2 and other greenhouse gases
6.Burning fossil fuels and cutting forests increase CO2 levels
7.So the atmosphere gets warmer
What does the sun emmit
Shortwave solar radiation.
What is the most powerful greenhouse gas
Halocarbons
What greehouse gas has increased the most inthe last century.
Methane
