Carbon Dioxide
Carbon dioxide is the primary greenhouse gas emitted through human activities. In 2014 it accounted for about 80.9% of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions from human activities. Carbon is naturally in the Earth's carbon cycle. Human activities are altering the carbon cycle and is adding more Co2 into the atmosphere. Co2also influence the ability of natural sinks, like forests. The rising in greenhouse gases will lead to higher temperatures.The higher temperatures will lead to crop failures,with crop failures there will be major malnourishment.

Co2in the Atmosphere
Levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are higher than they have been at any time in the past 400,000 years. During ice ages, CO2 levels were around 200 ppm and during the warm interglacial periods, they hovered around 280 ppm (part per million). In 2013 Co2 levels passed 400 ppm for the first time in history. The amount of fossil fuel burning depends on the amount of Co2 that is constantly being released into the air. Currently, We are living in the new Geologic Era which is known as “Anthropocene". Anthropocene is viewed as the period during which human activity has been been the dominant influence on climate and the environment.

Extreme Weather Events
Extreme weather is when a weather event is significantly different from the average or usual weather pattern'''. '''Extreme weather events can create stress, creating stress can result a decline in mental health. Lengthy hot or cold events can create chronic stress situations."Living with financial struggles can be a significant source of chronic stress according to Laura Choi, research associate with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco." Extreme weather events lead to damage, loss of property, death or injury of loved ones.Those losses can result a decline in mental health. Extreme weather events can cause people to migrate and adapt to other things, that they are not used to. Depending on the person adapting to a new community can threaten your mental health and well-being.

Waterborne Diseases
Outbreaks of waterborne diseases often occur after a severe precipitation event; Rainfall and snowfall. Because climate change increases the severity and frequency of precipitation events, there is more chance of the waterborne diseases to be created. Communities, especially in the developing world, could be faced with a burden of the waterborne diseases. In addition, other bacterials may pose a greater threat due to the effect that rising sea temperatures will have on the growth and spread of bacteria

Pollutants
Pollutants can take a toll on humans. Pollutants can cause humans to have lung issues, It could even cause cancer. A  s you get older it can make it more difficult for you to breathe. P  ollutants can also make it very dangerous for young children. Oh, and if you have asthma, have fun with that my friend because it can make a regular day so difficult.
