Climate and weather trends will be impacted over the next 500 years based on current pollution trends and observations scientists are making now. Over the last few centuries, the climate has been affected from many human activities. The two major factors that have altered the atmosphere are rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and the removing of vegetation. The elevated carbon dioxide levels will directly contribute to a rising average temperature over the next 500 years, in turn directly impacting the global warming. As humans are removing vegetation in order to create developments and more, there is less solar energy absorbed from the atmosphere. Also, vegetation helps recycle moisture back up into the atmosphere. Over the next 500 years, scientists are predicting a higher average temperature, a higher sea level, stronger natural disasters, and affected water supply/droughts. Humans can alter these current pollution trends and produce a different outcome by changing their behaviors and habits. As a population, we need to stop deforesting and removing vegetation as it is a pivotal piece to our weather and maintaining climate patterns over time. Also, we must come up with clear gases and emission as carbon dioxide and more are severely affecting our atmosphere and climate.
