EFFECT OF CLIMATE CHANGE

CLIMATE CHANGE
a change in global or regional climate patterns, in
particular a change apparent from the mid to late 20th
century onwards and attributed largely to the increased
levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use
of fossil fuels.
FACTORS THAT AFFECT CLIMATE CHANGE

LOWERN is an acronym for 6 factors that affect


climate.
•Latitude. It depends on how close or how far it is to the
equator.
•Ocean currents. Certain ocean currents have different
temperatures. ...
•Wind and air masses. Heated ground causes air to rise
which results in lower air pressure. ...
•Elevation. ...
•Relief. ...
•Nearness to water.
CAUSE OF CLIMATE CHANGE

It describes changes in the state of the atmosphere over


time scales ranging from decades to millions of years.
These changes can be caused by processes inside the
Earth, forces from outside (e.g. variations in sunlight
intensity) or, more recently, human activities. Ice ages are
prominent examples
5 ELEMENTS THAT AFFECT CLIMATE CHANGE

There are many elements that make up both the weather


and the climate of a geographical location. The most
significant of these elements are temperature,
atmospheric pressure, wind, solar irradiance, humidity,
precipitation, and topography.
HOW WE CONTROL CLIMATE
CHANGE?
Examples of mitigation include reducing energy demand
by increasing energy efficiency, phasing out fossil fuels by
switching to low-carbon energy sources, and removing
carbon dioxide from Earth's atmosphere. Another
approach to climate change mitigation
is climate engineering
