“What is rainwater?”
When there is too much water in the atmosphere, the weight will cause it to fall down as Rainwater.

How Carbon Capture Can Reduce Radiative Forcing
How Carbon Capture Can Reduce Radiative Forcing

“How can carbon capture reduce the amount of radiation absorbed from the sun?”
Greenhouse gases are responsible for the increase the increase of the heat trapped in the atmosphere. But with carbon capture, there will be less greenhouse gases and therefore less radiative forcing. This is How Carbon Capture Can Reduce Radiative Forcing.
How More CO2 in the Atmosphere Increases Radiative Forcing
How More CO2 in the Atmosphere Increases Radiative Forcing

“How does more CO2 really cause more climate change?”
CO2 traps solar radiation. So more CO2 means more Radiative Forcing. This is How More CO2 in the Atmosphere Increases Radiative Forcing.
Greenhouse Gases Beyond CO2
Greenhouse Gases Beyond CO2

“Are there greenhouse gases besides CO2?”
When greenhouse gases are discussed many people only think of CO2. However, greenhouse gases are any gas that traps heat in the atmosphere, therefore there are many more Greenhouse Gases Beyond CO2.

“How is radiative forcing causing climate change?”
Radiative forcing is the primary driver of Earth’s climate. And since the Earth is trapping more heat, its radiative forcing is increasing and making temperatures hotter. This is How Radiative Forcing is Causing Climate Change.

“What is the primary influence on Earth’s climate?”
The Earth receives energy from the sun and then radiates some of it out into space. The difference from this is the Radiative Forcing and is the energy that is received by the Earth. This is the primary influence on the Earth’s climate

“How does the Earth reflect sunlight?”
In addition to absorbing sunlight, the Earth also reflects sunlight as Solar Reflection into space.

“How does the Earth receive energy from the sun?”
Every second of every minute of every hour the sun is shining upon the Earth. This energy absorbed is known as Solar Insolation and is responsible for shaping the Earth’s climate and solar energy.

How Climate Change Will Exacerbate the Frequency of Deadly Diseases
How Climate Change Will Exacerbate the Frequency of Deadly Diseases
07/23/19
“Why will there be more diseases as a result of climate change?”
Insects and viruses thrive in warm climates and human’s immune systems suffer when under temperature stress. As the global climate heats up, more areas will become warmer. This will enable more disease vectors to breed and put stress on humans, therefore vastly increasing susceptibility to illness.. This is How Climate Change Will Exacerbate the Frequency of Deadly Diseases.
