What is climate
change
Major Changes

Climate change also known as global warming refers to the

rise in average surface temperatures on earth
Climate change is due primarily to the human use of fossil
fuels, which releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse
gases (carbon monoxide, nitrogen monoxide) into the air.
The gases trap heat within the atmosphere, which can
have a range of effects on ecosystem, including rising sea
levels, severe weather events, and drought that render
landscape more susceptible to wildfires.

The Impact
of Climate
Change
1. CLIMATE CHANGE IS ALREADY BEGINNING
TO TRANSFORM LIFE ON EARTH

Around the world, temperatures are climbing and sea

levels are rising.
If we don’t act now, climate change will rapidly alter
the lands and waters we all depend upon for survival,
leaving our children and grandchildren with a very
different world.
2. Higher Temperature
High temperatures are to blame for
an increase in heat-related deaths
and illness, rising seas, increased
storm intensity, and many of the
other dangerous consequences of
climate change.
Changing
Landscapes
As plant communities try to adjust to the changing
climate by moving toward cooler areas, the animal that
depend on them will be forced to move. Development and
other barriers may block the migration of both plants and
animals.
 Many species are already feeling the impact of temperature increase. The
examples are as follow:
In 1999, the death of the last Golden Toad in Central America marked the

Wildlife at Risk first documented species extinction driven by climate change.

Due to melting ice in the Arctic, polar bears may be gone from the planet
in as little as 100 years.
In the tropics, increased sea temperatures are causing more coral reefs to
“bleach”, as the heat kills colourful algae that are necessary to coral health
and survival.

ZIOLLICHE PITCH DECK

Rising Seas,
Higher Sea
Levels
As the Earth heats up, sea levels rise because warmer
water takes up more room than colder water, a process
known as thermal expansion. Melting glaciers compound
the problem by dumping even more fresh water into the
oceans.

Rising seas threaten to inundate low-lying areas and

islands, threaten dense coastal populations, erode
shorelines, damage property and destroy ecosystems such
as mangroves and wetlands that protect coasts against
storms.
Mangrove forests provide protection and shelter against
extreme weather events, such as storm winds and floods.
Mangroves absorb and disperse tidal surges associated
with these events: a mangrove can reduce the destructive
force of a tsunami by up to 90%.
Increased Risk of
Drought, Fire and
Floods
Climate change is making floods, fires and droughts more frequent and severe.
 Heat-Related Illness and
Disease

Climate change brings health risks to the
world’s most vulnerable communities. As
temperatures rise, so do the risks of heat-
related illness and even death for the most
vulnerable human populations.
As in 2003, extreme heat waves caused
more than 20,000 deaths in Europe and
more than 1,500 deaths in India. Scientist
has linked the deadly heat waves to
climate change and warn of more to come.
In addition to heat-related illness, climate
change may increase the spread of
infectious diseases, mainly because
warmer temperatures
 Economic Loss
and Damage

Globally, more intense hurricanes and

downpours could cause billions of dollars in
damage to property and infrastructure.
Declining crop yields due to prolonged drought
and high temperatures, especially in Africa,
could put hundreds of thousands of people at
risk for starvation.
 Can Climate
Change Be
Stopped?

Carbon dioxide is the main cause of human-induced

climate change. It is a very long-lived gas which means
levels of carbon dioxide build up in the atmosphere with
on-going human emissions. Stopping climate change,
that is stabilizing global average temperature, can only be
brought about by reducing global emissions of carbon
dioxide from human fossil fuel combustion and industrial
processes to near-zero levels.
Environmental

DEFINITION OF A carbon footprint is defined as the amount of

Carbon
greenhouse gases and specially carbon dioxide
emitted by something (as a person’s activities or a

FooTprint
product’s manufacture and transport) during a given
period usually expressed in equivalent tons of carbon
dioxide (CO2).
 For example, we go to the store to buy fruits, vegetables and
meat. The activity of driving to the store burns a certain
amount of fuel, which leaves a carbon footprint (much/little
depending on the type of fuel used).

The store uses electricity, also contributing to the carbon

footprint. In addition, the products sold in the store are all
delivered there using transportation. The carbon footprint in

Example
the transportation process depends on the type of fuel and the
distance traveled. Items in the Items in the store are packed
with paper or plastic, where paper/plastic production also has
its own carbon footprint. In addition, the fruits, vegetables,
and meats sold by the store are all grown or produced on
farms. The farm uses machinery that also burns fuel.

Decomposing agricultural waste produces methane, which

has a greenhouse effect 25 times greater than CO2. All of these
elements when combined will give the total carbon footprint
for the activity
Water Footprint
Definition

A water footprint is the amount of water you use in and

around your home, school or office through the day.
As the world’s population grows , more people are
consuming more water, the increase is due in part to
more people drinking and bathing.
This Impacts from climate change may increase the
likelihood of changes to the water cycle, leading to
prolonged periods of drought puts pressure on water
resources.
Reduced water supplies could add to water insecurity
in all countries around the world.

Cycle

ZIOLLICHE PITCH DECK

THE CARBON CYCLE

Water and Sky

Carbon in the air:
CO2 gas stays close to ground/sea level.

Carbon gets to the water through Uptake of:

i.CO2 absorbed by bodies of water
ii.Colder water – more CO2 can be absorbed

Carbon in the water: CO2 gas

i.trapped in bubbles in water
ii.It gets to the air by Release. The CO2 moves up
to surface and is freed.

Answer: Therefore, warmer water means more

CO2 gets released.

Carbon in the mantle: CO2 gas
i. CO2 gets into air through Eruptions.

There are three types of fossil fuels which can all be used

Ø High temperature, pressure forms fossil fuels
BIODIVERSITY
PRESERVATION

WHAT IS BIODIVERSITY
The variation of life forms within a
given ecosystem, biome or the entire
Earth
Why Biodiversity
Important
1. Organisms are interdependent (depend on each
other to survive). A loss of a species will affect other
species(ex. Food chain)

2. It brings stability to the area-removal of a species

affects the stability of others

3. provides resources to man such as food and

medicine(more plants mean more food)
Biodiversity for
economy
Food production relies on biodiversity for a variety of food
plants, pollination, pest control, nutrient provision,
genetic diversity, and disease prevention and control.
Both medicinal plants and manufactured
pharmaceuticals rely on biodiversity
POLLUTION

environment that cause adverse change.

Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy, such

as noise, heat or light.

Air pollution comes from both natural

made pollutants from combustion,
construction, mining, agriculture and
warfare are increasingly significant in
the air pollution equation.
SOIL CONTAMINANTS
Some of the more common soil
contaminants are chlorinated hydrocarbons
(CFH), heavy metals (such as chromium,
cadmium-found in rechargeable batteries,
and lead-found in lead paint, aviation fuel
and still in some countries, gasoline), MTBE,
zinc, arsenic and benzene.
