Over the last three classes, I have learned a lot about climate change, greenhouse gasses, and my carbon footprint. Using prior knowledge and information I have learned from articles we have read, I believe that the one thing they each have in common is their detrimental effect on our earth. To back up, we have answered a 50-question survey to understand our carbon footprint in terms of statistics, learned about non-greenhouse gasses and greenhouse gasses and how they affect our planet, and read articles that help us understand our carbon footprint and find solutions to better help our planet. In class, we learned about non-greenhouse gasses and greenhouses and the impacts they have on our earth. Non-greenhouse gasses work because, due to their imbalance, they are able to spring off new heat and instead release it back into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gasses are the opposite, as they keep radiation in our atmosphere. Finally, in the article More stuff = more climate e change, we learned about how carbon emissions are produced and some of the main producers, which include transportation, housing, and food. One thing I found interesting is how big of an impact transportation has on our carbon footprint, as it takes up 25%. This is because when we drive our vehicles, we release nitrogen dioxide and other harmful gasses into our atmosphere, further spreading global warming.
