:+: Climate Change AKA Climate Breakdown Facts with Details :+:
Instead of pasting a lot of text every time someone tries to argue about climate change, give them the link to this page!
Re: Climate Change or Climate Breakdown? The phrase Climate Change is misleading, making it sound as though it was a naturally-occurring thing when it's most definitely not! Instead, it should be called Climate Breakdown and it's human-caused.
Seriously, stop destroying the planet, you
Oddly,
If this is your first time on my site and you're seeing this Web page on your desktop or laptop, you can put your mouse over the text with the coloured background and border around them
It's similar to regular mouseover stuff, but this is more noticeable to those with bad eyesight and I thought it'd be a nicer alternative than having a lot of links on the page and if you're curious about something and want to know more about it, the information's right there and those reading this page aren't having to read more than they need to, saving them time, as I get
The original (and longer) Climate Change AKA Climate Breakdown (a more realistic phrase for the human-caused problem), Sea Level Rise, Global Warming and Fossil Fuels Web page I created years back and stopped updating because I didn't think anyone cared. I still don't think anyone cares, but, I created the page you're on in case they start to and want the basic facts.
Although I have a very low opinion of humanity based on my personal experiences with them and the amount of history I've read, with one of the less-violent incidents being when I was almost turned into road kill I feel it's important to at least do something, even if the attempt is futile and nobody in the entire world listens.
With the way I've been feeling lately, which, like climate breakdown, is also due to humans, as I struggle to even get basic healthcare, I doubt if I'll be around much longer, anyway.

Is it possible that I might have more people reading what I post than I thought?👀😲
The day after I posted a change to this page, which included information about how wasted food in landfills was adding to methane in the atmosphere, CBS News posted a video about how a volunteer group called Food Rescue US DC (which picked up the food) and the Washington, D.C. World Bank Group was sending uneaten food to those in need so it wouldn't end up in a landfill!👈
They even mentioned
If someone did read what I posted and either passed it on to those who needed to know or acted on the information themselves, you deserve a big thank you!! While it could've been a coincidence (there's been many in my life and some were literally Earth-moving), there's now a little sliver of hope in me 🥲 about the fate of the world!⌛
Among the many coincidences in my life that sometimes give me shivers, I think this one is the very first that's given me joyful surprise!🥰 Maybe whoever or whatever's causing them felt I needed a break? Not going to get my hopes up too much, because there's a lot that's wrong in this world, but it's a very welcome change from what I've been seeing.

Added the part about methane below (particularly about methane sources, as well as the explanation of the little mouseover coloured boxes which have more information in them that can be read by those who want it and are on laptops and desktop computers. 😎 Sadly, there's no way (yet) to make it work for those on smartphones or tablets.

✅ Climate Breakdown Facts: 👍
Carbon dioxide AKA CO2: The average lifespan of carbon dioxide (CO2) is hundreds or thousands of years and about 25% of it lasts effectively forever! [1]
CO2 levels: Consider the change that's occurred, already, just since 1950! CO2 levels are now over 421
Need to see what's coming in a video format?: There's a short video on YouTube called How Earth Would Look if All the Ice Melted (it's horribly outdated, already, even though it was posted in 2015) and places like Florida are shown as being completely underwater. [3]
Polar caps melting: All of the winter ice in the Arctic is supposed to melt by 2030, which will only accelerate global warming! How, you ask? Water absorbs the sun's light, whereas ice reflects it and there's no land under the North Pole. [4]
Storms and hurricanes 🌀 becoming more powerful: There have been eight category 5 hurricanes in the Atlantic since early 2017! The total since 1960 is 30! [5] Even a

🥬🥔🍎🍍Buy vegetables and fruits even if they're not perfectly shaped and eat your food instead of throwing it out! Or maybe donate food that's near or past their 'best by dates' to homeless shelters or people you know who are struggling to make ends meet? To someone who's starving and has little to no food, the stuff you're thinking of tossing in the garbage would be very welcome!😋🍱🥘
About 1/3 of food made for human consumption is thrown out and this increases methane (AKA natural gas AKA CH4) in the atmosphere, which is a much worse greenhouse gas than CO2, at least in the short term.
Specifically, it's frequently cited as being about 80 times worse than carbon dioxide, based on a 20 year period. However, it'll usually only stick around for about 12 years. Still, in a longer duration, such as a 100 year period (which many climate models use), the methane will trap approximately 30 times the amount of heat as would the same amount of carbon dioxide. Oddly, methane doesn't get talked about as much as carbon dioxide . . .
This will need to change if people want more accurate climate models, especially if they take into account that when the ice melts over permafrost, exposing the biomass beneath it that's accumulated for thousands of years (or longer), it'll decompose, which will increase the amount of carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere, which will add to global warming.
Well, that, and the lower
