FIFA address the need to improve climate awareness and understanding of how climate protection and development can support each other, as well as reducing

photosynthetic uptake and water-use efficiency4—that is, the ‘CO2 fertilization effect’.

(like car emissions and hair spray). Some of the gases get trapped in the atmosphere and act as a blanket, trapping heat and warmth in the planet. The rest of the gases get through the ozone layer which then won’t cause any more damage to the ozone layer and cause won’t global warming to get even worse. When we burn fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas all of the carbon dioxide produced gets released into the atmosphere and makes the ozone layer thicker and the planet warmer. | Global warming
