Evidence

The green house effect is good and it is really important for our planet because it doesn't make us cold and without it, our planet would be really cold. This keeps us warm but when they produce too much gasses, it really effects our planet. The gasses that are not from the green house effect can come from example: cars and factories but it is also polluting. Global Warming is when earth gets more and more gasses and the green house effect and it absorbs it.



Impacts

- Sea levels
Seas will expand when it absorbs heat from from the atmosphere and that could make the sea levels can rise.

- Floods
Flooding can be really bad for houses and other buildings because people can lose their homes, and also death. This is now happening a lot in places compared before.

- Agriculture
Crops will be hard to grow when climate changes because it needs the right temperature.

- Animals And Plants Dying
Climate is important for plants and animals because not all of them can live in the same climate and environment and if the climate changes, it can be dangerous for plants and animals and they could die.

- Health
Climate changes could be bad for humans because it can effect your life by your body and people can get sick and some other change to the people's health.


Adaptations

- Turn Off Lights

Games, Computers, Phones, etc.

- Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Recycle so that we can re-use and it reduces pollution.



Policies

- Kyoto Treaty
They were searching a way to reduce Global Warming in 1997.

- Bonn Conference
They were discussing how to cooperate to reduce heat-trapping gasses and to respond to climate change impacts.

- G8 Summit, Toyako, Japan
The leaders were agreeing a climate change statement that reffered to 'The Vision' of achieving at least a 50 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in 2050.
