====== Climate change ====== **Climate change** is the term used to describe changes in the [[Earth]]'s atmosphere, temperature, weather patterns, and other factors that can be observed in the environment. In its contemporary form, climate change refers to the notion that [[human beings]] and their activities are to blame for unnatural changes to the planet as a result of industrial processes and lifestyle choices. ===== Pollution ===== ==== Air ==== * [[https://archive.ph/5mfzE|"The great paradox: Drop in air pollution has INCREASED global warming because clean air does not contain aerosol particles that reflect sunlight and cool the Earth" - DailyMail]] * //"...the results sparked the idea of putting pollution particles back into the atmosphere, which in turn would reflect solar radiation back to space and ultimately limit or reverse human-causing climate change. This method has been proposed by the [[Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment]], which is funded by [[Microsoft]] founder [[Bill Gates]]."//
