What is global

warming?
 GLOBAL WARMING

is the increase of the Earth’s average surface

temperature due to a build-up of greenhouse
gases in the atmosphere.
CAUSES OF
GLOBAL
WARMING
Carbon emissions
from factories
Pollution from
airplanes &
vehicles
POPULATION INCREASE
DEFORESTATION
Increased CO2 results
in
 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.
causes
Melting of glaciers
 ANTARCTICA – losing ice
faster..!!!!!!

BEFORE NOW
Polar Bear Extinction
Warmer waters , more
hurricanes and tsunamis
Increased Temperature
 Melting
Polar ice caps
Major CONSEQUENCE of global
warming is………….

GUESS WHAT !!
At some places, it
causes
At others……
SOMEWHERE
it’s tooo…
HOT
Where as at others
tooo…..
COLD
Its all because of
GLOBAL
WARMING
 IMPACTS OF THE WARMING
“GLOBAL TEMPERATURES WILL INCREASE
FROM 1.1 TO 6.4 DEGREES IN NEXT 100 YEARS”

Rise by 0.8 degrees- ocean warming, arctic ice cap

melting, species extinction , extreme weather events.

1 degree rise- Island nations will be under water.

2 degree rise- Greenland melts, polar bears extinct,

water supply will be affected.
3 degree rise- environmental refugees, food
shortage, no drinking water.

4 degree rise- millions of refugees, 1/3 rd of

Bangladesh under water, north pole melts completely

5 degree rise- most of the world uninhabitable, earth

hotter than in 55 million years.

6 degree rise- All species mass extinction, no living

on earth.
WE are the ones causing It
It’s NOT too LATE

ACT NOW!!!!
We can
JUST DO…………these
Spread awareness
Turn off your computer or the
TV when you’re not using it.
Remember to turn off the lights when you leave a room.
Be Bulb Smart—Use CFLs
Compact
Incandescent
Fluorescent
Unplug Unused Electronics
Plant trees.
Save water
Save Paper, Save Tree

Save Paper,
Save Life
Recycle Reuse Reduce
Avoid Plastic Bags
Drive LESS, drive SMART

Use a bicycle or public

transportation
Wind Power
Solar Power
 conclusion
Today we are senselessly exploiting our
resources and enjoying ourselves. This
has to stop. All we have to do is cut down
on our exploitation in all possible ways,
live a simple lifestyle, be sensitive to
nature’s needs and remove from our lives
everything that is unnecessary.
