Background Info.
Global Warming is an increase in global
average surface temperature due to
natural or anthropogenic climate change.
The global surface area increase 1.33
degrees Fahrenheit during the 20th century.
The last 30 years has seen the highest
surface temperatures recorded in history.
Glaciers are melting rapidly
Ocean temperatures have increased.
Sea levels have risen almost one foot.
The production and absorption of carbon
dioxide and other greenhouse gases in not

Causes of Global Warming

The release of methane gas from arctic
tundra and wetlands

 Pollution is one of the biggest man made

problems that leads to global warming.
Burning fossil fuels
Green house gas CO2
Mining coal and oil

 Population
More food, more methane, more burning of
fossil fuels
Manure
Transportation

Effects of Global Warmin

Rise in sea level
Increase of ocean temperature
Decrease of snow cover

Impact on Animals
Birds laying eggs earlier
Plants are flowering earlier
Mammals are getting out of hibernation
sooner

Melting of ice in Greenland and Antarctica

Increase in agriculture
Water reservoirs drying up
In humans, heat-related illnesses and
increased breathing problems
Chance of Malaria
Extreme weather

Personal Contribution
to Global Warming
I contribute to global warming by driving a
car daily around campus and also driving
home every other weekend.
I also am part of the United States large
population so I contribute to using more
food, releasing more methane, and burning
more fossil fuels.

Solutions
Invest in renewable energy
Increase efficiency of cars
Plant more trees
