 WHAT IS OUR GOAL?

We are targeting people’s apathy by:

• To bring more and more awareness to people about G.W.
• To help people understand the severity of G.W. by
educating them
• To show people ways in which they can adjust their lives
in order to protect Our Planet
• Make a short informative documentary to create a
trademark for our campaign
WHAT HAVE WE DONE SO FAR?
 WHAT THE HECK IS G.W.?

• a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the

earth's atmosphere
• generally attributed to the greenhouse efect caused by
increased levels of carbon dioxide, CFCs
(Chloroflorocarbons - any of a class of compounds of
carbon, hydrogen, chlorine, and fuorine), and other
pollutants.
 GREENHOUSE EFFECT?

• The greenholse efecc is defned as when the

Earth's atmosphere becomes thick
with gases and substances which trap the sun's
radiation, making the Earth warmer. 
EXTINCTION
What type of major extinction comes to
mind when you think of Earth’s
hisotry?
 TYPES OF EVENTS THAT CAN CREATE
EXTINCTIONS ON EARTH

Meteoroid Impact Nuclear War Volcanos Human Made

Emissions
 WHAT DO THESE EVENTS ALL HAVE IN
COMMON?

THEY ALL CHANGE THE CHEMISTRY OF OUR

ATMOSPHERE!

Extinctions in the past have in common the change in

athmosphear.
HOW BIG IS OUR ATMOSPHERE?
 WHAT IS THE RELATION
BETWEEN EARTH AND LIFE ON
EARTH?
 END-PERMIAN EXTINCTION
• End-Permian Extinction was much bigger then the dinosaurs
• 251.9 million years ago
• 70% of terrestrial species and 96% of the planet’s marine species went extinct
• The extinction happened instantaneous. It happened at the same time as the Siberian
Traps occurred (A massive eruptive event that formed the traps is one of the largest-
known volcanic events in the last 500 million years. )
• The Magma (that came from the Earth) that created those crusts in Siberia; those crusts
contained Carbon, Sulphur, Chlorine, Fluorine. Turns out, when those are heated and
sweated by the magmas they put in the atmosphere – Carbon Dioxide(G.H.E), Sulphur
that produces acid rain, and Chloroflorocarbons that destroy the atmosphere.
• THE PLANET PRODUCED ALL OF THESE NATURALLY... Destroying almost all life on earth
by destroying the ozone layer!
WE ARE PUTTING OUT THE EXACT SAME
CHEMICALS IN THE ATMOSPHERE AS
THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN PRODUCED IN
THE BIGGEST EXTINCTION IN EARTH’S
HISTORY. THE SAME CHEMISTRY.
 WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?

• We became accustomed to pay for the luxuries

of the few. All of us.
• We are allowing rich people to get richer by
abusing the biosphere.
• We speak about moving forward with the same
bad ideas that got us into this mess.
 WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?

• We are in the midst of the sixth mass

extinction in Earth’s History.
• If changes are not going to be made, changes
will be enforced on you in the near future as
millions will die and therefor living conditions
will change.
HOW CLIMATE CHANGE
IS AFFECTING UK?
 EXTREME HEAT

• In 2003 the uk and surrounding countries experienced one of the worst heat waves in
recorded history resulting tens of thousands of deaths (2000 in the uk alone).
• Areas in the uk such as Brogdale in Kent hit 38.5 degrees Celsius on august tenth
2003.
• Scientists claim this will be a common occurrence in summer come 2040.
• This will primarily afect hospitals and elderly care homes resulting in the deaths of
our most vulnerable
• Larger cities containing large buildings and asphalt streets that absorb and radiate
heat will be afected more than rural areas. This is called urban heat island efect.
• Heat related mortalities may rise by 70% by 2020 when compared to the 2000s
according to HPA projects. BY 2080 they believe it may even hit 540% if no action is
taken.
• This will put a lot of strain on the NHS
 VECTOR-BORNE DISEASES

• Rising temperatures will spread diseases further than ever before, even to the uk
• As the temperatures rises vectors disease carrying insects will be able to travel
further and further.
• “Risks from new and emerging pests and diseases, and invasive non-native
species, are potentially very high for people, animals and the natural
environment. The warmer conditions expected with climate change will allow
some pests, disease-carrying insects and other animals, and invasive non-native
species, to extend their range.” says the 2017 CCC report.
• An example of this is the Asian tiger mosquito, which can carry the Chikungunya
virus, dengue fever, and Zika virus.
• Another efect of vectors is the heightening reproduction and growth rates
leading to and as a result increases the infection rate.
 FLOODING AND DROUGHT
• Two key factors of the global water cycle:
• It’s an extremely interconnected so every change no matter how small has a
ripple efect on the rest of the cycle
• All steps of the cycle is changed and afected by heat and temperature
• The steady rise in temperature in the past few hundred years has afected
everything from clouds to stream fow patterns
• This afects the entire world including the uk
• Diferent parts of the uk’s weather has gone in two directions. Either the
abundance of rainfall or the lack of it. This leads to fooding and droughts.
• If the climate rises a mere 4 degrees the number of uk residences at an extreme
food risk will double from around 900,000 to 1.9 million by 2050.
• This rise in heat will also reduce the amount of usable water in much of the
country.
 RISING SEA LEVELS:
• The UK Climate Projections of 2009 estimated a sea-level
rise of between 13cm and 76cm for the UK by 2095.
• "extreme high sea-level events" could become between 10
and 1,800 times more common by 2100 on the south coast
of england.
• Areas that have been identifed as particularly vulnerable
to coastal food risk include South Wales, north-west
Scotland, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, East Anglia and the
Thames estuary.
• According to the bbc beaches may be lost in a hundred
years at this current trajectory.
