PART 1 CLIMATE CHANGE EFFECT OUR LIVES

Climate change is already affecting our lives and the places we live, and has the potential to dramatically impact the lives of future generations.
The Nature Conservancy is joining with policy makers, community members, businesses, scientists, industry leaders and others to slow the pace of climate change. We work to reduce the accumulation of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere and help natural areas adjust to the impacts of climate change.
If we don’t act now, we will leave a much larger problem to our children. The good news is that, if we all join in to stop climate change, we can reduce its impact on our lives, on our environment and on future generations.


This image shows a large part of the earth being effected by climate change. the most deadly climate change being moved around is Greenhouse gases and Global warming.
Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of Earths near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation.
greenhouse gases Greenhouse gases are gases in an atmosphere that absord and emit radiation within the thermal infrared range. This process is the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect. The main greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone.
