Questions I hope to answer…

1. What is the difference between the greenhouse effect,

climate change and global warming?

2. What proof do we have that climate change is happening?

3. Why is it happening?
The Greenhouse Effect
● The Earth is surrounded by a thin layer
of gasses we call greenhouse gases.
● Identifiable change in the climate of
Earth as a whole that lasts for an
extended period of time (decades or
longer)
● When due to natural processes, it is
usually referred to as global climate
variability.
● Usually refers to changes forced by
human activities that change the
atmosphere.
● These gases are what make up our
atmosphere.
The thickness of the atmosphere and the concentration of its gases influence the
surface temperature on any planet.

Effects on Ecosystems
Coral systems and other unique ecosystems
cannot handle higher temperatures well.
Wildfires will increase.
Up to 30% of species will be at increased risk for
extinction due to the rapid changes in their
ecosystems.
The Developing Countries seem to peak in their emissions as they’re
developing at a fast pace with less resources for Climate
conservation & protection, Eventually their emission rates will drop.
