atmosphere over large area
over period of 35 years
- Climate Change
(change of

that lasts for an
extended period
of time)
- Causes
- Burning fossil fuels
which release CO2
- Deforestation
- Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's)
- Cows releasing methane
- Nitrous oxide
- Water vapour (but also
combats climate change)
- Burning fossil fuels
which release CO2
- Solutions

energy; solar,
wind, water, and
geothermal energy
- Stop using soil fertilizers
- Stop usage of (CFC's)
found in aerosol
propellants and old fridges
- Reforestation

study showed that 1kg of beef
