* [[Fr-fr_adulte_carte_5_énergies_fossiles|Énergies fossiles]] On peut se demander si les activités humaines consomment des énegie fossiles ou si les énérgies fossiles permettent les activités humaines. Ce débat ne doit pas prendre de temps et on peut regrouper les deux cartes au besoin. Quand je chante dans mon jardin, je réalise une activité humaine sans énergie fossile. Quand les moulins à vent ou à eau produisaient de la farine, ils n'utilisaient pas d'énergie fossile. Il reste, heureusement de nombreuses activités humaines sans énergie fossile.

Do not waste time on this debate and put these two cards together if necessary. When I sing in my garden, I carry out a human activity without fossil fuels. When windmills or water mills produced flour, they did not use fossil fuels. Luckily, there are still many human activities that do not use fossil fuels.

Card #1: Human activities

Causes Consequences
None Front of the card "Human activities"


This is where it all begins...

Explanation

This is where it all begins... It is also where 5th IPCC report begins. In the foreword of the report, it is stated that "the science now shows with 95 percent certainty that human activity is the dominant cause of observed warming since the mid-20th century".[1]

This card can be considered:

Causes

  • Fossil fuels One can wonder whether human activities use fossil fuels or fossil fuels enable human activities. Do not waste time on this debate and put these two cards together if necessary. When I sing in my garden, I carry out a human activity without fossil fuels. When windmills or water mills produced flour, they did not use fossil fuels. Luckily, there are still many human activities that do not use fossil fuels.
  • Armed conflicts This is the Club of Rome feedback loop! The system will eventually regulate itself, but not necessarily gently. Players often make this connection and sometimes even suggest rolling up the collage to connect the beginning and the end. Moreover it is interesting notice that humankind appears in the first and last cards, but not in the middle.

Consequences

  • Terrestrial biodiversity Humans occupy almost all available space on Earth, leaving no room for animals and plants. This entails the disappearance of natural habitats and it is the main cause of biodiversity loss today, well ahead of climate change.
  • Marine biodiversity With this link, we highlight all the degradations that humans are inflicting on marine life such as plastic pollution and overfishing. It's irrelevant to climate change, but it's interesting to make the connection anyway.
