1. What is climate change?

1.1. CHANGE OF REGIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL CLIMATE PHENOMENA SUCH AS TEMPERATURE, OCCURENCE OF STORMS ETC.

1.2. TRIGGERED THROUGH GREENHOUSE GASES PRODUCED BY INDUSTRY AND USE OF FOSSIL FUELS

2. How does it effect life on earth system?

2.1. biosphere

2.1.1. shortage of food production

2.1.2. extinction of animals due to loss of habitat and loss of food sources

2.1.2.1. example: higher temperatures -> desertification -> loss of food for grazing animals -> diminuishing of herds -> loss of food source for predators

2.1.3. spread of diseases

2.2. litosphere

2.2.1. desertification

2.2.1.1. loss of habitat for farming and housing

2.2.2. deforestation

2.2.2.1. loss of habitat for forest animals

2.2.3. soil degregation

2.2.3.1. loss of habitat for farming

2.3. atmosphere

2.3.1. change of temperature

2.3.2. change of pressure

2.3.3. destroying the ozone layer

2.3.3.1. harmful UV-rays enter without barrier

2.3.4. higher concentration of greenhouse gases

2.3.4.1. absorbing warmth and keeping it on earth instead of letting it pass to space

2.4. hydrosphere

2.4.1. higher temperatures -> warmer oceans

2.4.1.1. loss of habitat and bait for sea animals

2.4.2. rise of sea level

2.4.2.1. loss of habitat and risk of flooding increases

2.4.2.1.1. loss of habitat for living and housing

2.4.3. change of water cycle

2.4.3.1. evaporation and rain are changed
