Global Warming Overview and Solutions

This document provides an overview of global warming, including its causes and effects. It defines global warming as the increase of Earth's temperature due to greenhouse gases trapping heat in the atmosphere. Examples are given of how the greenhouse effect works and the difference between global warming and climate change. The document discusses how burning fossil fuels contributes to increased CO2 and global warming. It outlines some effects of global warming like rising sea levels and increased temperatures. Finally, it suggests individual actions people can take to help address the problem, such as using less energy and planting trees.

Introduction
 Is the world getting warmer?
 If so, are the actions of mankind

to blame for earth’s temperature


increases?
 What can/should be done about

these issues?
What is global warming?

 Global Warming is the increase of Earth's


average surface temperature due to effect of
greenhouse gases,
 such as carbon dioxide emissions from burning

fossil fuels or from deforestation, which trap


heat that would otherwise escape from Earth.
 This is a type of greenhouse effect.
How Global Warming Works

Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas)


Example of the
Greenhouse Effect
The Sun’s energy
passes through the
car’s windshield.
This energy (heat)
is trapped inside
the car and cannot
pass back through
the windshield,
causing the inside
of the car to warm
up.
What’s the difference
between “global warming”
and “climate change”?
Difference

GLOBAL WARMING CLIMATE CHANGE


is the increase of the is a broader term that
Earth’s average surface refers to long-term
temperature due to a changes in climate,
build-up of greenhouse including average
gases in the temperature and
atmosphere. precipitation.
Effects of Global Warming
Rising Sea Level Increased Temperature

Habitat Damage and


Changes in Water Supply
Species Affected
Why is global warming
happening?
Burning of Fossil Fuels

Pollution from coal,


natural gas, and oil
Simple Things To Do

Turn off your computer or the TV


when you’re not using it.

Take shorter showers. Heating water uses energy.

Keep rooms cool by closing the blinds, shades, or


curtains.

Turn off the lights when you leave a room.

Use compact fluorescent bulbs.


Simple Things To Do
Dress lightly when it’s hot instead of turning up
the air conditioning. Or use a fan.
Dress warmly when it’s cold instead of turning
up the heat.
Offer to help your parents keep the air filters on
your AC and furnace clean.
Walk short distances instead of asking for a
ride in the car.

Plant a tree.
Recycle.
Conclusion

 There is very little doubt that global warming will


change our climate in the next century. So what are the
solutions to global warming? First, there must be an
international political solution.
 Second, funding for developing cheap and clean energy
production must be increased, as all economic
development is based on increasing energy usage.
 We must not pin all our hopes on global politics and
clean energy technology, so we must prepare for the
worst and adapt. If implemented now, a lot of the costs
and damage that could be caused by changing climate
can be mitigated.
