Global Warming is the 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴-𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴

excess heat in the atmosphere has caused the
average global temperature to rise overtime,
otherwise known as Global Warmimg.

Why there is a Global Warming and where does
Global Warming come from?

Global Warming is an aspect of climate change,

reffering to the long-term rise of the planet's
temperature. It is 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱

human activities such as burning fossils fuels,
and farming.
When did Global Warming begin?

Disadvantages of Global Warming:
- Loss of species habitat due to the climatic changes in
the environment.
e.g: Extinction of polar bears as ice melts due to global
warming and harms their living conditions.
- Increased air pollution which further causes problems
like allergies and asthma and breathing problems.
- Increases number of deaths leading to population
destructions.
- Environmental destruction, e.g: deforestation
- Poor living quality - rise in temperature, changes in air
quality etc.
Advantages of Global Warming

-The Arctic, Antarctic, Siberia, and other frozen regions of the earth
might experience more plant growth and milder climates.

-The next ice age could possibly be prevented.

-The Northwest Passage through the formerly icy Canadian Arctic

Archipelago could arguably open up to transportation.

-Fewer deaths or injuries would occur due to arctic conditions.

-Longer growing seasons could mean increased agricultural production

in some areas.

-Previously untapped oil and gas reserves might become available.

The top 10 causes of Global Warming.

- Power plants
- Transportation
- Farming
- Deforestation
- Fertilizer
- Oil drilling
- Natural gas drilling
- Permafrost
- Garbage
- Volcanic eruption
Facts about Global Warming.

1: Most of the increase in global temperatures since 1950 has been caused by human activity.

2: The average temperature of the Earth is determined by the green house effect.

3: Global temperatures have increased by about 1° Celcuis in the past century.

4: The United States is the second largest contributor to carbon dioxide (C02) in our atmosphere.

5: Arctic sea ice and glaciers are melting.

6: Average sea level is expected to rise between 0.5 and 1.5 metres before the end of century.

7: Rainforest destruction is a major cause of carbon dioxide release.

8: Coral reefs are being destroyed.

9: As global temperatures increase, our societies will find it harder to adapt to the changes this
brings, and some species are more likely to go extinct.
