How did it start?
Where is it most concerned at?
Why is it important?
What’s the difference between climate change and global warming?
What is the greenhouse effects?
What is greenhouse gas?
What does global warming have to do with health?
Is it too late to start preventing the environment?
Are humans causing or contributing?
What is the impact of global warming on agriculture?
What are the visible signs of global warming?
Is it not just a natural cycle?
What is a carbon footprint?
How much transportation causes global warming?
Which countries contribute the most?
What impacts will it have in the future?
What are the economic impacts?
Is the ocean continuing to warm?
What is the urban heat island effect?

What is the aim of SDG 13 climate action?
How much renewable energy do we need to stop global warming?
Can’t renewable energy hurt the environment?
How does global warming affect animals and plants?
What can the government do to reduce climate change?
I would like to know the answer to 10, I've heard the word many times, but don't fully understand what it is.
ReplyDeleteAre climate change laws really laws? Is it really working?
ReplyDeleteI am interested in the answer to question11. I have never thought of global warming relating to health.
ReplyDeleteGlobal Warming is a big issue so question 30 is very important. And for our future, question 20 is something we need to think about.
ReplyDeleteAll of these are important and relevant questions. However, by the question "Is it too late to start preventing the environment?" I think you mean, "Is it too late for us to prevent the damage done to the environment by the amount of greenhouse gases humans have already contributed to the environment?"
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting that you pose the question "Can’t renewable energy hurt the environment?" Actually, almost any action humans carry out can have potentially positive or negative effects on the environment. So, this is an intelligent question to ask. For example, solar panels generate some toxic waste when they're manufactured and after they are disposed of. They require the production of metallurgical-grade silicon and that process can generate a lot of noxious gases, like sulfur dioxide and nitrous oxides. This is still a lot better than the greenhouse gasses produced by the burning of fossil fuels, but it has to be considered and isn't insignificant.
Hopefully, there will be technologies developed in the future that will be even cleaner and greener than solar and wind power. That's why investment in basic research is so important. Unfortunately, that's been cut way back in Japan and in the US.
Your question "What are climate change laws?" might be better worded as "What kinds of legislation has been put into place in various countries to deal with climate change?" Joe Biden was elected on a platform of improving America's infrastructure and decreasing greenhouse emissions. Fortunately, last week a modest version of what he was trying to achieve concerning climate change mitigation was passed by Congress. It will allow for more investments in renewable energy sources. The world is weaning itself off of fossil fuels _way_ too slowly though. The US should be the leader in this area, and Japan could do much more, but instead they are lagging behind.
