    Introduction
     Is the world getting warmer?
     If so, are the actions of mankind

    to blame for earth’s temperature


    increases?
     What can/should be done about

    these issues?
    What is global warming?

     Global Warming is the increase of Earth's


    average surface temperature due to effect of
    greenhouse gases,
     such as carbon dioxide emissions from burning

    fossil fuels or from deforestation, which trap


    heat that would otherwise escape from Earth.
     This is a type of greenhouse effect.
    How Global Warming Works

    Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

    Fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas)


    Example of the
    Greenhouse Effect
    The Sun’s energy
    passes through the
    car’s windshield.
    This energy (heat)
    is trapped inside
    the car and cannot
    pass back through
    the windshield,
    causing the inside
    of the car to warm
    up.
    What’s the difference
    between “global warming”
    and “climate change”?
    Difference

    GLOBAL WARMING CLIMATE CHANGE


    is the increase of the is a broader term that
    Earth’s average surface refers to long-term
    temperature due to a changes in climate,
    build-up of greenhouse including average
    gases in the temperature and
    atmosphere. precipitation.
    Effects of Global Warming
    Rising Sea Level Increased Temperature

    Habitat Damage and


    Changes in Water Supply
    Species Affected
    Why is global warming
    happening?
    Burning of Fossil Fuels

    Pollution from coal,


    natural gas, and oil
    Simple Things To Do

    Turn off your computer or the TV


    when you’re not using it.

    Take shorter showers. Heating water uses energy.

    Keep rooms cool by closing the blinds, shades, or


    curtains.

    Turn off the lights when you leave a room.

    Use compact fluorescent bulbs.


    Simple Things To Do
    Dress lightly when it’s hot instead of turning up
    the air conditioning. Or use a fan.
    Dress warmly when it’s cold instead of turning
    up the heat.
    Offer to help your parents keep the air filters on
    your AC and furnace clean.
    Walk short distances instead of asking for a
    ride in the car.

    Plant a tree. Recycle.


    Conclusion

     There is very little doubt that global warming will


    change our climate in the next century. So what are the
    solutions to global warming? First, there must be an
    international political solution.
     Second, funding for developing cheap and clean energy
    production must be increased, as all economic
    development is based on increasing energy usage.
     We must not pin all our hopes on global politics and
    clean energy technology, so we must prepare for the
    worst and adapt. If implemented now, a lot of the costs
    and damage that could be caused by changing climate
    can be mitigated.
