EXPLORATION: Climate Change

Greenhouse gases have far-ranging environmental and health effects. They cause climate change by trapping heat, and they also contribute to respiratory disease from smog and air pollution. Extreme weather, food supply disruptions, and increased wildfires are other effects of climate change caused by greenhouse gases. The typical weather patterns we've grown to expect will change; some species will disappear; others will migrate or grow. 

Watch the video below, Air Pollution 101, which explains the connection between air pollution and climate change. Pay attention to the feedback loop which is created as various pollutants increase climate change, which leads to more pollutants.
