What is Climate Change?
If the climate doesn’t remain constant, we call it climate change.
Identifiable change in the climate of Earth as a whole that lasts for an extended period of time (decades or longer)
What causes Earth’s climate to change?
Changes in the atmosphere Natural processes
Volcanoes Tectonic plate movementChanges in the sun
Human activities – any activity that releases “greenhouse gases” into the atmosphere
Effects of Climate Change
ISN’T IT SCARY? But don’t you worry. There are some of the ways to be done. We can prevent this Climate Change that is one of the major problems encountered by the world nowadays.
Warming of Climate Warming of the climate is
definitely occurring and can be observed by the:Increases in global sea and air temperatures
Widespread melting of snow and ice
Rising global sea level
Temperature Change Data1880-1884
Temperature Change Data 2003-2014
What can we do?
Reduce emissions of greenhouse gases
Attempt to develop alternatives energies
Allow emission to continue, but prepare for global climate changes
Allow emissions to continue as normal and leave preparations up to individual countries
Combine any of these ideas Come up with your own unique
plan!
