What things affect weather?
Weather conditions are determined by six major factors: air temperature, air pressure, humidity of the air, amount and kind of cloud cover, amount and kind of precipitation, and speed and direction of the wind.
How many years do we have to save the planet?
The answer is to reduce our carbon footprint, reducing our greenhouse gas emissions dramatically. Many climate experts say we have nine years left, until 2030, before we begin to hit a tipping point from which there may be no return.
