What is Climate Change?

Back

Climate Change refers to significant changes in global temperatures and weather patterns over time, primarily caused by human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes.

What is Global Warming?

Back

Global Warming is the long-term heating of Earth’s climate system due to human activities, especially the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

What are Greenhouse Gases?

Back

Greenhouse gases are gases that trap heat in the atmosphere, including carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and water vapor (H2O).

How do cattle farms contribute to Global Warming?

Back

Cattle farms contribute to Global Warming by producing methane, a potent greenhouse gas, through the digestive processes of cows and the management of manure.

Front

What is a Carbon Footprint?

Back

A Carbon Footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases emitted directly or indirectly by an individual, organization, event, or product, usually measured in carbon dioxide equivalents.

Front

What is Photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, helping to reduce carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.

Front

What is Deforestation?

Back

Deforestation is the clearing or thinning of forests by humans, which can lead to increased carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and contribute to climate change.

Front

What is the Carbon Cycle?

Back

The Carbon Cycle is the process by which carbon is exchanged among the atmosphere, land, water, and living organisms, involving processes like photosynthesis, respiration, and decomposition.

Front

What role do plants play in reducing greenhouse gases?

Back

Plants absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, which helps to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Front

What is Animal Respiration?

Back

Animal Respiration is the process by which animals take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide, which does not help in absorbing carbon dioxide during the carbon cycle.
