The Effects Of Global Warming

A presentation by: Raymond DuongSLC: Liberal Arts

Why Its Important To Me• Global Warming affects everything in the

world• Everyday things can lead to global warming• People need to understand the dangers of

global warming and what damage it can lead to

Thesis• Global Warming needs to be controlled as its

affecting not just the people, but animals and everything else in the world

What Is Global Warming?• Global Warming is the increase in the Earth’s average

temperature• Due to the release of greenhouse gases by burning

fossil fuels

How It Affects People

• Changes in climate• Leads to diseases• Causes more tropical storms, such as tsunamis and

hurricanes• Melts Ice Caps which leads to the rise in sea level• Messes with crops which makes it unhealthy

How It Affects Animals• Destroys their habitats• Forces them to adapt, leaving them with no place to raise their

young• Many of which cant adapt, which leads to them dying out or

extinction• Polar Bears are a prime example of how global warming can

affect animals

How It Affects Agriculture• Diseases and fungi will harm crops• Natural disaster will destroy crops• Wont be safe to eat

How Can Global Warming Be Controlled

• Simple everyday things can help control global warming

• Recycling• Carpooling, taking the bus• Unplugging electronics when they are not being used

Conclusion• Global Warming has to be controlled• There are no signs of it slowing down• People has to start acting now if they want to

save the Earth
