Central Question: What are the scientific foundations for climate change? Guiding Thought Question: What is the biggest danger facing humans for inaction against climate change? What is the result and how will humans be impacted? Today's Learning Objective: Students will examine the natural and human causes for global climate change and how the change can have an effect on the planet's plants and animals. |

One of the biggest problems in our world is climate change and while we do have people working to solve the problem we have the other side of the situation where people believe climate change is fake and others simply doing actions against the solution of climate change like polluting. Humans will be affected by this drastically as heat will continue to rise around the globe and areas like Antarctica will begin to melt which can lead to a mass extinction of animals in the continent.

A major concern for humans in relation to climate change is how it will affect agriculture. Humans are really dependent on agriculture globally, and rising temperatures and severe weather can impact that greatly. This has the potential to leave millions more people hungry than those whom already are.

The biggest danger facing humans for inaction against climate change is human habitat being ruined (through rising ocean levels) and changing of the food chain (through extinction of species). The result of this would be humans not having enough food or places of shelter. If humans can not convince each other to actually make the changes needed to prevent climate change we will not have lives at all.

Like, what's stopping humans from taking action, or what will happen because of humans not taking action?

Because if it's the former then it's likely people not being properly educated on what impact they can make.

What is the biggest danger facing humans for inaction against climate change? The amount CO2 released from factories and plants and animals.

One of the biggest issues with change to help solve climate change is money. Turning everything green is a huge investment and a lot of people are extremely hesitant. Changing would also effect a lot of peoples lively hoods.

There are going to be a lot more natural disasters forcing us to use much more resources and maybe completely moving out of areas. The sea levels will rise for sure making people in some areas leave.

Politicians and people in powerful positions in the economy are threatening the efforts to prevent climate change. When people in high status positions express their lack of prioritizing or disbelief in climate change, others follow their lead and take no interest in saving the planet for future generations. Humans will see the effects of this in their everyday lives and long term in loss of useable and safe land and loss of vital species.

Climate change affects the stability of the Earth immensely. Naturally, there is a bit of an equilibrium among the forces of the Earth; natural disasters should happen, but not as often as they do currently, global warming is inevitable, but sped up because of human interaction, etc. As climate change is occurring, & simultaneously being ignored, the Earth is drastically changing-- the balance being thrown off. These changes are becoming irreversible, & the death of the planet inescapable.

The biggest problem is climate change because since we are burning fossil fuels, CO2 is polluting the air below the atmosphere and is making sun rays hotter and is bleaching the ocean. The ocean absorbs 92% of the suns rays making the water warmer and coral reefs can't live in warmer water and is bleaching corals, around 50% of coral reefs have died in the last 30 years and people are oblivious to what is happening and the only way to show people this worldwide problem is when the great barrier reef dies off and if we lose reefs, we lose animals and we ourselves will die soon after because the ocean is the most important thing to the world.

The biggest danger facing humans is climate catastrophe where natural disasters grow in strength and intensity, and sea levels rise flooding much of the inhabited land of the world. If all the sea ice of the world were to melt, hundreds of millions of people would lose their homes, countless acres of farmland would be lost, and the change in the planet's albedo would lead to even greater change.

The biggest danger for humans for inaction against climate change is human habitat becoming unlivable as a result of storms growing in intensity, rising temperatures, rising sea levels, sea ice melting, and greenhouse gases going into the atmosphere.

The biggest danger facing humans currently is meeting arbitrary dates and deadlines for change, which only delay and stall progress when it comes to protecting the environment.

I would say one of the biggest problem is oceans rising. When the ocean rises cities, towns, and villages will be wiped out. Forcing everybody to keep moving inland. This will be difficult to plan around since there could be millions of people having to move.This will also cause infrastructure to get worse than it already is. The floods will also most likely kill a great number of people. However, every thing that comes with climate change is the worst possible option
