	Pesticides impact climate change throughout their manufacture, transport and application.

Pesticides impact climate change throughout their manufacture, transport and application. When pesticides are made, three main [[Emissions\|greenhouse gases]] are emitted: carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide.

	~~Beside~~ the emission of greenhouse gases, pesticides kill organisms and ~~therefor disrupts~~ the balance of the ecosystems and biodiversity of the ~~world~~. Because our ecosystem is important to capture carbon dioxide, using pesticides can enhance ~~the~~ global warming and ~~therefor~~ climate change. For example pesticides are a ~~thread for~~ the survival of bees. Without bees many plants and fruit will not exist and because plants capture carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and water out of the soil and make glucose and ~~oxigen~~, it is affecting and enhancing climate change.		Besides the emission of greenhouse gases, pesticides kill organisms and therefore disrupt the balance of the ecosystems and biodiversity of the planet. Because our ecosystem is important to capture carbon dioxide, using pesticides can enhance global warming and therefore climate change. For example, pesticides are a threat to the survival of bees. Without bees, many plants and fruit will not exist and because plants capture carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and water out of the soil and make glucose and oxygen, it is affecting and enhancing climate change. Disrupting the valance of nature by using pesticides means that the regulation of greenhouse gases gets disrupted as well.
