WHAT CAUSES CLIMATE CHANGE?


(Leia o texto para responder a questão)


Floods in Mozambique. Forest fires in Indonesia. Hurricanes in Florida. Storms in the Uk.


Extreme weather events are predicted to became more frequent because of climate changes.


Climate change or global warming is caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other polluting gases in our atmosphere. The gases trap heat by forming a blanket around the Earth – like the glass of a greenhouse. Once released, the greenhouse gases stay in the atmosphere for many years. As they build up, the planet’s temperature rises. Greenhouse gases are released by burning fossil fuels – coal, oil and gas – and by cutting down forests.

A
Climates
