 Climate Change:-
 Climate change is a long term alteration in.


 Global weather patterns, Australian temperatures have, on average, risen by

about 1°C with an increase in the frequency of heat waves and a decrease
in the numbers of frosts and cold days.


 Rainfall patterns have also changed Northwest has seen an increase in

rainfall while much of eastern Australia and the far southwest have
experienced a decline
Why is climate change
happening?
 Gases in the earth’s atmosphere act like a blanket
surrounding.
 earth or like a greenhouse trapp the sun’s heat and stopping
it from escaping. 
 Gases are called greenhouse gases and keep the earth at a
nice temperature.
 Global Warming and Greenhouse
Effect:-

Cause 2 :- Concentration of carbon

Cause 1 :- Carbon dioxide emissions in dioxide has dramatically increased
million tons per year over the last 200 in the . last 50 years
years.
 Global Warming and Greenhouse
Effect:-

Effects of global warming :-

There are two major effects of global warming:
1- Increase of temperature on the earth by about 3° to 5° C (5.4° to 9° Fahrenheit ) by the year 2100.
2- Rise of sea levels by at least 25 meters (82 feet) by the year 2100.
Did you know?
 1. Did you know that without a natural greenhouse effect, the temperature of
the Earth would be about 0°F (-18°C).
1.
 Human activity has increased the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
contributing to global warming.
 Main greenhouse gases responsible for this are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and
nitrous oxide and the CO2,
 UK in particular, is emitted by everyday activities like driving your car, heating your
home and even switching on a light


 2. Did you know that over 7 billion tones of CO2 is released in to the earth’s
atmosphere every year through using fossil fuels like oil, coal and gas.
 All gases stay in the atmosphere for a certain length of time, for CO2 this is between 50
- 200 years.
 This means that CO2 will be present in the atmosphere for at least 50 years before it is
absorbed.
 It also means that CO2 emitted into the atmosphere today could cause global warming
for up to two centuries to come.

What will happen in the future & The
Disadvantages:-

Climate change will stress water resources

Sea level rise is the greatest problem

This is due to a combination of

rising sea level and stronger storms
Polar bears thr eatened by and hurricanes , effects of increasing
thaw across the Arctic warmth in the atmosphere and ocean .

Carbon Footprint:-

A carbon footprint is defined as:

The total amount of greenhouse gases produced to
directly and indirectly support human activities,
usually expressed in equivalent tons of carbon
dioxide (Co2).

To reduce the carbon footprint there are by

change our lifestyle in all way .
.
.Measure your carbon footprint.
.Track your mileage.
.Read your electric meter.
.Track your natural gas or propane meter.
