The document is a student's report on global warming for their 11th grade Environmental Science class. It discusses what global warming is, estimates of temperature increases this century, effects on wildlife like polar bears and sea turtles, impacts on humans including more deaths from heat and changes in precipitation patterns, examples of drought in Africa like Lake Faguibine and Lake Chad drying up, solutions like conservation and alternative energy sources, and the conclusion that global warming is occurring due to human activities and will have both positive and negative repercussions.

TOPIC

WHAT IS GLOBAL WARMING ?


Global

Warming is when the earth heats up.


When Green House gases such as CO2,water
vapor,nitrous oxide and methane trap heat and
light from the sun in the earths
atmosphere,which increases the temp.

How Much Temperature Increase?


Some

models propose up to 9C increase this


century
Two studies put the minimum at 1.5C and
maximum at 4.5C or 6.2C
Another study puts the minimum at 2.5C

Wildlife Effects
Polar Bears
Require pack ice to live
Might eventually go extinct in the wild

Sea turtles
Breed on the same islands as
their birth
Could go extinct on some islands
as beaches are flooded

Other species may go extinct as rainfall


patterns change throughout the world

Effect on Humans
Fewer deaths from cold, more from heat
Decreased thermohaline circulation
Cooler temperatures in North Atlantic

CO2 fertilization effect


Precipitation changes
Droughts and famine (some areas)
Expanded arable land in Canada, Soviet Union

Drought in Africa
Lake Faguibine

Lake Chad

Solutions to tackle Global


Warming

Mitigation of Global Warming


Conservation
Reduce energy needs
Recycling

Alternate energy sources


Nuclear
Wind
Geothermal
Hydroelectric
Solar
Fusion?

Conclusions
Global warming is happening
Most warming is probably the result of
human activities
There will be positive and negative (mostly)
repercussions from global warming
The costs to mitigate global warming will be
high better spent elsewhere?
