The Reality of Climate Change

There are three major gases that have negative effects on our environment when released into the air. The first is carbon dioxide , which is released in small parts from people. A large amount however is emitted through the burning of fossil fuels. The second is methane which is discharged mostly from livestock. The third and final gas that I will touch on is chlorofluorocarbons . This gas has a deteriorating effect on our ozone layer that led to its ban in the use of refrigerators and aerosol sprays. All three of these gases are considered greenhouse gases, which reflect heat energy from the sun to back onto the earth causing it to heat up. This warming of the planet is known as global warming, which leads to arctic and antarctic ice melting while also causing droughts due to uneven levels of evaporation and precipitation. I will touch on these two issues in greater detail later. With the biggest issue being carbon dioxide a few solutions would include electric vehicles and cle

Climate change is a complex issue, and one of my goals as a blogger is to help provide some background on the subject.  Hi I am Joshua Blanken and this is my blog about climate change and how it affects all of us now and in the future. Some people don't believe that climate change is real and shrug it off. Here you will be able to find evidence that suggests otherwise. I was inspired to make a blog about climate change because I have always thought that it was a big deal. I am excited to use this blog as a way to inform its readers and cause some change int the world no matter how small.
