Question 2

Human causes of climate change

Answer 2

CO2
-burning fossil fuels
-increased cars
-deforestation
-increase population

METHANE
-landfills
-increased population therefore more demand for beef

NITROUS OXIDE
-increased cars
-more food cause there is an increased demand for beef

CFC’S
-disposal of refrigerators due to them not being properly disposed
-increased temperature therefore more air con units
-old aerosols

Question 3

Impacts of climate change

Answer 3

INCREASED AVERAGE RAINFALL
-flooding, insurance goes up and more pressure on emergency services
-money spent on flood defences
-harder to grow crops
-tourism decreases
-flooding of sewage causes the spread of more diseases

INCREASED ANNUAL TEMPERATURES
-heatwaves therefore more heatstroke
-pressure on heat services
-less snow therefore reduced ski season
-longer growing season
-increased tourism
-mosquitos can travel further north
-displacement of species
-warmer sea temp-coral bleaching, therefore species become endangered

RISING SEA LEVELS
-costal erosion increases so houses are more likely to get yeatted of a cliff
-coastal flooding- Bangladeshi/California
-reduced population
-less natural beauty
-sea defences need to be built therefore more money spent by governments
-loss of habitat
-destruction of habitats
