 Introduction

Climate change is the current rapid warming of the

Earth's climate caused by human activity. If left
unchecked (and current responses are doing little to
halt it) it poses an unprecedented threat to human
civilisation and the ecosystems on this planet.

Climate change is a long-
term change in the
average weather patterns
What is
climate
that have come to define
Earth’s local, regional and
change?
global climates.

5
 What is difference between weather and
climate??

▸ Weather refers to atmospheric conditions that occur

locally over short periods of time—from minutes to hours
or days. Familiar examples include rain, snow, clouds,
winds, floods or thunderstorms.
▸ Climate, on the other hand, refers to the long-term
regional or even global average of temperature, humidity
and rainfall patterns over seasons, years or decades.

6
 Evidences - How do we know?
● Global temperature rises
● Warming oceans
● Shrinking ice sheets
● Decresed snow cover
● Sea level rises
● Declining arctic sea ice
● Extreme events
● Ocean acidification

the climate system is unequivocal.

Plastic pollution
In 1907 the invention of Bakelite
brought about a revolution in
materials by introducing truly
synthetic plastic resins into world
commerce. By the end of the 20th
century,, plastics had been found
to be persistent polluters of many
environmental niches, from Mount
Everest to the bottom of the sea.
14
● The Great Pacific Garbage Patch
is an island of discarded plastic
that is now triple the size of
France.
● Scientists have found plastic
bags at the bottom of the
Mariana Trench 36,000 feet
below sea level.
● Every year 18 billlion pounds of
plastic seeps into oceans from
coasts.
15
 Causes
● Natural causes : volcanic eruptions
● ocean current
● Earth’s orbital change
● Variations in thee sun’s energy
● Tectonic movements
● Chnages in reflection of earth
● Forest fire
● Sunspot and solar cycle
● Green house effect (water vapour,Carbon dioxide,Methane
,Nitrous oxide,Chlorofluorocarbon)
16
 Causes

Human causes- Human

activity
▸ Burning of oil
▸ Deforestation
▸ Fertilizers
▸ Over population
▸ Fossil fuels
▸ Agriculture causes
▸ Landfills

 In its Fifth Assessment Report, the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a
group of 1,300 independent scientific experts from
countries all over the world under the auspices of
the United Nations, concluded there's a more than
95 percent probability that human activities over
the past 50 years have warmed our planet.

 The Effect of climate change

▸ Temperature will continue to rise.

▸ Forst free season.
▸ More drought and heat waves
▸ Hurricanes will become stronger and more intense
▸ Sea level will rise 1-8 feet by 2100.
▸ Arctic likely to become ice free

20
 Effect on animals
Polar bears may be the poster child
for climate change's effect on
animals. But scientists say climate
change is wreaking havoc on many
other species -- including birds and
reptiles -- that are sensitive to
fluctuations in temperatures. One,
this golden toad of Costa Rica and
other Central American countries,
has already gone extinct.

21
 Coral reefs
Scientists say the oceans'
temperatures have risen by
more than 1 degree Fahrenheit
over the last century. It doesn't
sound like much, but it's been
enough to affect the fragile
ecosystems of coral reefs,. This
photo shows dead coral off the
coast of St. Martin's Island in
Bangladesh.
22
 Effect on Agriculture

A U.N. Pannel in March that

climate change -- mostly
drought -- is already affecting
the global agricultural supply
and will likely drive up food
prices. Global food experts have
warned that climate change
could double grain prices by
2050

 Glacier breakdown
▸ Deadly glacier break: Himalaya
glaciers will collapse more
frequently as climate warms
▸ With the accelerated warming that
is happening in the Himalayas,
and the rapid response of glaciers
across the Himalayas ... the
probability for hazards does go
up, Summer Rupper, a
glaciologist at the University of
Utah,

 Ocean acidification
● Nineteen drains from
Delhi open into the
Yamuna.
● In Delhi, along a
stretch, the Yamuna
is choked by water
hyacinth—a weed.
This is an example of
eutrophication.

 What to do?

▸ Move away from fossil fuels.

▸ Mitigation and adaptation.
▸ Reducing emissions of and stabilizing the levels
of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere (“mitigation”);
▸ Adapting to the climate change already in the
pipeline (“adaptation”).

27
 Environment activists
“You have stolen my dreams and my
childhood with your empty words and
yet I'm one of the lucky ones. People are
suffering. People are dying. Entire
ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the
beginning of a mass extinction and all
you can talk about is money and
fairytales of eternal economic growth.
How dare you!”-
Greta Thunberg at the United Nations
28 Climate Action
Protest for climate change

 Conclusion

climate change affects extreme weather is still developing, evidence

suggests that extreme weather may be affected even more than
anticipated. Extreme weather is on the rise, and the indications are
that it will continue to increase, in both predictable and unpredictable
ways. And these evidences and crisis reminded that climatecrisis is
not problem for only future generations ,it is impacting real people
right now- and we must act
