Global Warming
Global warming is an
increase in the average
temperature of Earth's
surface. Since the late
1800's, the global average
temperature has increased
about 0.7 to 1.4 degrees F
(0.4 to 0.8 degrees C). Many
experts estimate that the
average temperature will rise
an additional 2.5 to 10.4
degrees F (1.4 to 5.8 degrees
C) by 2100. That rate of
increase would be much

How Global Warming Works

Carbon Dioxide
(CO 2 )

Greenhouse gases

Fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural


gas)
Problems: Harm to ocean life
Changes of habitat
Weather damage
Example 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.
CO 2 Pollution and G lo b a l
Finding the source ofWarming
increased CO 2 in the atmosphere
Some scientists have suggested that when the earth was new (about
4.5 billion years ago), CO2 may have made up as much as 80% of the
earth's atmosphere. About 2 billion years ago, the concentration of CO2
was likely 20 or 30%. Human life and even most life could not have
survived in such an atmosphere. With the evolution of
photosynthesizing plants, the concentration of CO2 dropped and the
percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere increased.

Remember that in photosynthesis:


CO2 +H2O + energy from sun ==> O2 + sugar
Both plants and animals undergo respiration in which
Sugar + O2 ==> CO2 +H20 + energy
In addition, when plants and animals die, the dead organisms decay
and give off CO2.
Solutions

 Simple solution
× Reduce greenhouse gases emission
 Stop dependency on fossil fuels
× Renewable energy
→Solar energy, wind energy and
biomass energy
 Green areas
× Plant more trees
