How Changes to Climate Affect Our Forests
From the Woods Today - Episode 216
Sep 16, 2024
在本期《今日森林》中,我们将探讨气候变化如何影响我们的森林。我们还将深入探讨控制入侵物种(尤其是金银花)的策略。
In this episode of From the Woods Today, we examine how changes to climate are impacting our forests. We also delve into strategies for controlling invasive species, specifically bush honeysuckle.
什么是气候变化?
气候变化是指温度和天气模式的长期变化。这种变化可能是自然的,因为太阳活动的变化或大型火山喷发。但自 19 世纪以来,人类活动一直是气候变化的主要驱动因素,主要是由于燃烧煤炭、石油和天然气等化石燃料。
燃烧化石燃料会产生温室气体排放,这些气体就像一张毯子包裹着地球,吸收太阳的热量并提高温度。
造成气候变化的主要温室气体包括二氧化碳和甲烷。例如,这些气体来自使用汽油驾驶汽车或使用煤炭为建筑物供暖。清理土地和砍伐森林也会释放二氧化碳。农业、石油和天然气作业是甲烷排放的主要来源。能源、工业、交通、建筑、农业和土地利用是造成温室气体的主要部门。
What Is Climate Change?
Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. Such shifts can be natural, due to changes in the sun’s activity or large volcanic eruptions. But since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.
Burning fossil fuels generates greenhouse gas emissions that act like a blanket wrapped around the Earth, trapping the sun’s heat and raising temperatures.
The main greenhouse gases that are causing climate change include carbon dioxide and methane. These come from using gasoline for driving a car or coal for heating a building, for example. Clearing land and cutting down forests can also release carbon dioxide. Agriculture, oil and gas operations are major sources of methane emissions. Energy, industry, transport, buildings, agriculture and land use are among the main sectors causing greenhouse gases.
