Question

Air pollution can change the climate. Comment on the statement.

Answer 1

• Air pollution changes the climate, but not all types of air pollution have the same effect.
• Some types of air pollution cause global warming to speed up while others cause global warming to slow down by creating a temporary cooling effect for a few days or weeks.
• Air pollution includes greenhouse gases.
• One of these is carbon dioxide, a common part of the exhaust from cars and trucks.
• Greenhouse gases cause global warming by trapping heat from the Sun in the Earth’s atmosphere.
• Due to greenhouse gases, the climate has been fluctuating all the time giving rains or extreme heat in winter.
