V Solution of climate change

 I.Climate change
A.In the past
• Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns
• Climate on earth has fluctuated over time

Cooler period Hotter period

Ice age: the closest ICE AGE was The Neoproterozoic (in Vietnamese: thời Đại Tân
Around 12,800 years ago Nguyên Sinh) : One of the warmest times, happened
between 600 and 800 million years ago.
In the past, NATURAL FACTOR have caused climate change.
 B.In the present
• Climate change are created mostly by ANTHROPGENIC, or human-made, factors:

The extreme utilization of Manufacturing goods Generation power Consumerism

transportation

Deforestation Powering buildings

 THE CONSEQUENCE OF CLIMATE
CHANGE
1.The preceded consequence
In the past: At the present:
The extinction of Dinosaur Until now regions of the world are seeing more
hot days and more heat waves

According to new in the journal Proceedings of

the National Academy of Sciences, there are even Drought Monitor map for February 16, 2023
further proof that climate change — specifically, showed the majority of California in a moderate
climate cooling — likely played a significant role drought, with some parts of the state remaining
in the dinosaur's demise in a severe drought.
Future consequence

Scientists predict in 2050 polar bears will be extinct

Critical thresholds and climate tipping points

Term #1: Critical Threshold

critical threshold as it applies to global warming

means a point at which the climate system takes
a turn that will have major and often negative,
consequences in the future
Critical thresholds and climate tipping points
Term #1: Climate Tipping Points (CTPs)

Simply put, CTPs means “a point of no return”. By

crossing multiple thresholds related to environment, many
IRREVERSABLE changes will happen to human
civilization and the Earth
