Global warming increase in the average
measured temperatures of the Earths
surface air and oceans
Causes
A build up of greenhouse
gases in the atmosphere
Pollution from coal, natural
gas and oil
CO2 from airplanes and
vehicles and industrial
activities + other
greenhouse gases
methane from animals,
CFCs, nitrogen dioxides,
ozone contribute to
forming the greenhouse
layer
Population increase
(overpopulation)
Deforestation
Increased CO2
Greenhouse effect
Consequences Solutions
Greenhouse effect Spread awareness
Earths atmosphere and
surface warming up Turn off your computer or
the TV when youre not
Melting of glaciers + using it
Melting polar caps Turn off the lights when you
rising sea levels leave the room
Warmer waters more Saving energy at home:
hurricanes - Be bulb smart use
Increased probability and compact fluorescents
intensity of droughts and (CFLs)
heat waves - Dress lightly instead
Animals habitats loss of turning up the air
extinction conditioning
- Unplug unused
electronics
Plant trees
CLIMATE Recycle
Drive less, drive smart
use a bicycle or bus and
fuel efficient cars
vehicle efficiency
Use renewable energy
sources-
Wind power, solar power,
water power
Produce electricity
CHANGE efficiently
Use biofuels
Use filters (carbon capture
and storage)
