Climate change

• Global warming is an increase in the earths temperature due to human activity burning fossil fuels
• Methane is released when fossil fuels are extracted
• Methane is produced when bacteria rot organic matter like rubbish landfill rice farming and livestock farming
• Fossil fuels are burned to generate heat. We call this combustion

  fossil fuels plus oxygen equals to carbon dioxide and water
• Climate change is the overall change in weather over periods of time
• Consequences of global warming

  loss of habitats

  flooding

  melting polar icecaps
• Scientific evidence is peer reviewed because scientists check that the method is true and valid this is important because scientists cant make false claims
