Texto base: Increasing greenhouse gas concentrations w

Texto base: Increasing greenhouse gas concentrations will have many effects Greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere will continue to increase unless the billions of tons of our annual emissions decrease substantially. Increased concentrations are expected to:

> Increase Earth's average temperature
> Influence the patterns and amounts of precipitation
> Reduce ice and snow cover, as well as permafrost
> Raise sea level
> Increase the acidity of the oceans
> Increase the frequency, intensity, and/or duration of extreme events
> Shift ecosystem characteristics
> Increase threats to human health

These changes will impact our food supply, water resources, infrastructure, ecosystems, and even our own health. United States Environmental Protection Agency. Available at: <http://www3.epa.gov/climatechange/science/future.html> Accessed on: oct. 30, 2015. (Extract)

For each of the results of the increasing greenhouse gas concentrations, think of an action or an attitude to deal with it. The first one was given.

> Increase Earth's average temperature = People will seek shade and they will use more air conditioning.
> Influence the patterns and amounts of precipitation = ____________________________________________
> Reduce ice and snow cover, as well as permafrost = _____________________________________________
> Raise sea level = _________________________________________________________________________
> Increase the acidity of the oceans = __________________________________________________________
> Increase the frequency, intensity, and/or duration of extreme events = _______________________________
> Shift ecosystem characteristics = ____________________________________________________________
> Increase threats to human health = ___________________________________________________________
