Definition What is global warming? Causes Global warming causes. Photo by Skeeze on Pixabay. Fossil fuels The massive use of fossil fuels is obviously the first source of global warming, as burning coal, oil and gas produces carbon dioxide - the most important greenhouse gas in the atmosphere - as well as nitrous oxide.

Intensive farming Another cause of global warming is intensive farming, not only with the ever-increasing livestock, but also with plant protection products and fertilizers.

Waste disposal Waste management methods like landfills and incineration emit greenhouse and toxic gases - including methane - that are released into the atmosphere, soil and waterways, contributing to the increase of the greenhouse effect.

Overconsumption Finally, overconsumption also plays a major role in climate change. Effects Global warming effects. On biodiversity The increase of temperatures and the climate upheavals disturb the ecosystems, modify the conditions and cycles of plant reproduction.
On oceans Because of global warming, permafrost and ice are melting massively at the poles, increasing the sea level at a rate never known before. On humans Human beings are not spared by these upheavals. A Chinese environment official said on Wednesday this was "the biggest obstacle" to progress in the climate talks. The G20 draft calls in brackets for "additional climate financing", suggesting there is plenty of negotiating still to be done on this issue.

Democratic Senator Kyrsten Sinema declared Thursday that she will not vote to suspend the filibuster in order to enact two voting bills, all but guaranteeing that President Biden's top legislative priority will fail. The second bomb cyclone in a week could bring heavy snow and high winds to Atlantic Canada through Saturday. Klay Thompson had a very Klay-like reaction to not getting the ball on an open-look in transition.
He noted the "green choice needs to be the easy choice" for people, including on price, convenience, and with a clear understanding of what they can do on an individual level to make a difference.
In the statement, advisers made clear that stabilising the climate would limit sea level rises and extreme weather events, improve prosperity, and protect human health and nature. It also said addressing climate change would require intense international collaboration on research and innovation to develop and deliver new solutions across all sectors of the global economy.
Governments should focus on piloting and scaling up existing green technologies over the next decade, accelerate the development of next-generation solutions, and involve every part of society in the green transition, which must be affordable, accessible, and fair, the statement said.

But achieving this target is dependent on all 90 countries living up to their promises, which historically has not been the case.
In addition, growing livestock means farmers also have to grow crops to feed that livestock. When it comes to emissions, cattle are by far the biggest culprit — particularly cattle raised for meat, which account for a quarter of all animal emissions. In order to grow crops — which feed both humans and animals — farmers use fertilizers which emit nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas with roughly times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide. When it comes time to harvest the crops, farmers use heavy machinery such as tractors which run on fossil fuels.
In the production of rice — a staple crop for billions of people — reached mn tons worldwide. One study estimates that for every 1kg 2. Getting food on supermarket shelves requires taking the raw product from farms and transporting, packaging and distributing it — and this process produces more than 3bn tonnes of CO 2 -equivalent emissions.
While canned products might not require refrigeration, they need to be shipped via trucks, planes or cargo ships to retail stores across the country. Therefore what you eat is more significant in terms of emissions than eating local.
Consuming locally sourced meat and dairy products does less to cut down emissions than consuming plant-based products shipped from far away.
