What is climate change? Climate change refers to the long-term changes in the Earth's climate, including changes in temperature, precipitation patterns, and weather events, that have been observed over decades or longer.
In this PowerPoint it tells you about what exactly is climate change and warn and stop the willow project that cause so many disaster in Alaska.
2. HOW TO PREVENT
CLIMATE CHANGE AS A
STUDENT
We must stop deforestation in all
forms. Do not cut down more trees as
it will only worsen the level of carbon
dioxide in the air. Instead, encourage
people to plant even more trees to
create a fine balance in nature.
Moreover, it reduces the usage of
energy everywhere.

3. SO WHAT IS
CLIMATE CHANGE?
Climate change refers to the change in the
environmental conditions of the earth. This happens due
to many internal and external factors. The climatic
change has become a global concern over the last few
decades. Besides, these climatic changes affect life on
the earth in various ways.

4. HOW WILL CLIMATE
CHANGE AFFECT US?
The impacts of climate change on different
sectors of society are interrelated. Drought can
harm food production and human health. Flooding
can lead to disease spread and damages to
ecosystems and infrastructure. Human health
issues can increase mortality, impact food
availability, and limit worker productivity.
Climate change impacts our society by disrupting
the natural, economic and social systems we
depend on. This disruption will affect food
supplies, industry supply chains and financial
markets, damage infrastructure and cities, and
harm human health and global development.

5. AMAZON RAINFOREST
DEFORESTATION
Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest rose more than
88% in June 2019 compared with the same month in 2018, and
more than doubled in January 2020 compared with the same
month in 2019. In August 2019, 30,901 individual forest fires were
reported, three times the number a year earlier.This equates to
more than 85 million hectares (211 million acres), an area about
one-tenth the size of the United States or China. Map showing
total forest loss in the original Amazon forest biome. An
estimated 13.2% has been lost due to deforestation and other
causes.

6. Logging interests cut down rain forest trees for timber used
in flooring, furniture, and other items. Power plants and
other industries cut and burn trees to generate electricity.
The paper industry turns huge tracts of rain forest trees
into pulp.
In the Amazon, around 17% of the forest has
been lost in the last 50 years, mostly due to
forest conversion for cattle ranching.
Forests cover 31% of the land area on our
planet. They help people thrive and survive
by, for example, purifying water and air and
providing people with jobs; some 13.2 million
people across the world have a job in the
forest sector and another 41 million have a job
that is related to the sector.

7. WHAT IS THE MAIN REASON
FOR THE DEFORESTATION OF
THE RAIN FOREST?
He main cause of deforestation is
agriculture (poorly planned infrastructure
is emerging as a big threat too) and the
main cause of forest degradation is illegal
logging. In 2019, the tropics lost close to
30 soccer fields' worth of trees every
single minute.

8. Forests are crucial in the fight against global warming, by absorbing
carbon from the air. But if forests are cleared, or even disturbed, that
carbon is released as carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
And is we still continue doing this the loss of tropical rain forest is
more profound than merely destruction of beautiful areas. If the
current rate of deforestation continues, the world's rain forests will
vanish within 100 years- causing unknown effects on global climate
and eliminating the majority of plant and animal species on the
planet. If we dont control this the loss of tropical rain forest is more
profound than merely destruction of beautiful areas. If the current
rate of deforestation continues, the world's rain forests will vanish
within 100 years- causing unknown effects on global climate and
eliminating the majority of plant and animal species on the planet.
WHY DO WE NEED TO STOP
DEFORESTATION

9. Walk, cycle or take public
transport The world’s roads are
clogged with vehicles, most of
them burning diesel or petrol.
Walking or riding a bike instead of
driving will reduce greenhouse
gas emissions – and help your
health and fitness. For longer
distances, consider taking a train
or bus. And carpool whenever
possible.
Eat more vegetables Eating more
vegetables, fruits, whole grains,
legumes, nuts and seeds, and less
meat and dairy, can significantly
lower your environmental impact.
Producing plant-based foods
generally results in fewer
greenhouse gas emissions and
requires less energy, land and
water.
From the way we travel, to the
electricity we use and the food we
eat, we can make a difference.
Start with these ten actions to
help tackle the climate crisis.
Save energy at home Much of our
electricity and heat is powered by
coal, oil and gas. Use less energy
by lowering your heating and
cooling.
EVERYONE CAN HELP
LIMIT CLIMATE CHANGE.

10. THE WIILOW PROJECT
COMPUTER SCIENCE
The willow project is a project to sell Alaska
for oil drilling and once the project approved
this project will release 287 million metric tons
of carbon dioxide into environment. And this will affect a
lot of animals that live there and also affect climate chang.
Signing the petition can stop this.
