What is global warming?
•The Planet Is Heating Up—and
Fast
•Glaciers are melting
• Sea levels are rising
• Cloud forests are drying
• Wildlife is scrambling to keep
pace.
• The earth heats up- temperature
• rising.
• Greenhouse gases
Carbon dioxide
Water vapour
Nitrous oxide
Methane
 Causes of Global Warming
 The trapped of heat - greenhouse gases ; comes from combustion of fossil fuels in
car,factory and electricity production.
Solar variation - The changes in the amount of radiant energy emitted by the Sun.
-This solar variation has been correlated with the changes in the
Earth’s climate and temperature.
 Sunspots( the number of sunspots in an area directly affects the amount of time
the nearby earth to take cool.
- The earth absorbs about seventy percent of the earth's solar
flux.
- This solar flux increases the temperature of the earth's
atmosphere, land and oceans
 Deforestation – increase the amount of carbon dioxide in earth.
The effects of global warming to
our earth and living things

 Ecosystems will change - Many inhabitants to leave their inhabitants.

- Some species will move farther or north, or become
more successful ; others won’t be able to move and
could become extinct.
 Health problems -Some diseases will spread, such as malaria and west Nile virus
- cardiovascular problems.
- exhaustion problem (respiratory),asthma
 Daily weather - increase in extreme temperature. Levels of evaporation
also increase.
 Rise in the sea level – Ice is melting worldwide, especially the Earths’ poles
- mountain glaciers
- ice sheets covering West Antarctica and Greenland, and
Arctic sea ice.
 Ways to prevent Global warming
• People should reduce the usage of electrical appliances which emits
green house gases.
• Follow RRR-Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
• Trees absorb a large amount of carbon dioxide.
• Insulation of the ceiling of a house and power saving.
• People should use only energy efficient appliances
• Usage of green power.
• Periodic maintenance of the vehicles.
• Teach your neighborhood and friends about the cause and impacts
of global warming and methods to reduce it.
• Support Earth Hour and join others in Earth Hour facebook group or
