Emissions and Warming
Open to everyone until Wednesday, September 30
To keep it, print it while it is open.
Factories, vehicles, and farms release gases that build up in the atmosphere. This thicker layer traps more heat, raising the average global temperature and changing climate patterns.
In the picture
- Dark plume from a factory smokestack: industrial emissions
- Exhaust pipe on a car: transport emissions
- Vent on a cattle shed: farming emissions
- Dense grey band above the surface: thickened heat-trapping layer
- Red wavy line bouncing near the surface: trapped heat
Examples
- A petrol car engine releasing exhaust on a daily drive.
- A cattle farm where animals release methane.
Key takeaways
- Industry, transport, and farming add greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.
- More trapped heat raises the average global temperature and disrupts climate.
