Environmental Effects
Long-Term Effects
Greenhouse gases accumulate in the atmosphere over time.
Transportaion systems are major contributors to emissions.
Rising temperatures melt glaciers and increase sea levels.
This leads to:
- Flooding
- Droughts
- Damaged agriculture.
Extreme weather events like hurricanes and wildfires are becoming more severe.
These gases trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to rising temperatures and changing weather patterns.
Short-Term Effects
Air pollution and greenhouses gases can quickly affect human health.
Poor air qulity leads to respiratory issues.
Weather patterns can become irregular, with sudden temperature changes.
These short-term changes can be signals of long-term climate effects.
