2. What's happening to our world!
Glaciers are
melting!
Temperatures
are rising!
Extreme weather
changes!
3. Did you know that 14.8 million acres
of rain forest are cut down annually.
Also each year 2.2 billion
tons of co2 are discharged
into the air do to burning of
forests.
4. CO2 has also been a problem towards
Also
greenhouse gases.
If we reforested 386,000
square miles it sequester
more than 11 billion tons
of co2.
5. But every year humans produce
11 billion tons of co2
This co2 will lead to
higher temperatures
and will then lead to
melting Glaciers and so
on.
6. What happens when glaciers melt?
Already the sea levels have risen
between 4-8 inches world wide
during the last century, and
experts predict they could rise as
much as 2 feet in the next 100
years.
Glaciers retreat doubling to 12
kilometers a year.
7. Also global warming will
change the weather
dramatically. Which
means that more
hurricanes will come and
other terrible storms.
In a matter of
time snow will
melt away into
dry hot grounds.
8. If the glaciers keep melting
than this might happen to
you.
At least 279 different
species are migrating
north to escape
warm weather.
9. Did You Know?
Sea levels aren't what's
only going on…
… Animals like the polar
bears are being pushed
out from their hunting
grounds are now on the
endangered list.
10. The us is
responsible for
19.91% of the
worlds carbon
dioxide emissions.
Carbon dioxide or co2 takes 100
years to disperse in the atmosphere.
11. Here's another thing that scares me.
Producing the annual beef diet of
the average American emits as
much greenhouse gas as a car
driven more than 1,800 miles.
12. The university of
Illinois has found a
way to turn carbon
Into
dioxide into useful
fuel in the process of
Artificial
photosynthesis.
13. People like you have volunteered
to plant trees all over the world.
Also big groups like Disney nature has
started a program to plant 1 billion
trees all around the world.
14. If we work together
we can do the same
and maybe even
better.
