What is global warming?
 Global warming is the long-term heating of
Earth’s climate system observed since the pre-
industrial period (between 1850 and 1900) due to
human activities, which increases heat-trapping
greenhouse gas levels in Earth’s atmosphere.
Reasons

Greenhouse effect, which is caused by:

 Fossil fuel burning
 Deforestation
 Industrial advancement
 Using transport with high levels of CO2 emission
Examples in the world

 Melting ice - caps in the Polar regions

 Rise of the sea level all over the world
 Wildfires in Australia
 Extreme droughts (in California
in 2015)
 Extinction of some animal species
(polar bears)
Possible world-wide solutions

 Replanting trees
 Using more zero-emission electric vehicles
 Settingnew standards and crafting new policies
to meet or even exceed those standards
Possible personal solutions

 Using less energy

 Travelling green
 Reduce waste
Conclusion

Global warming is very dangerous for the Earth,

because the temperature have been rising, causing
more dangers for people, animals, plants and our
environment.
