2. • Global warming is the
warming of the earth
through carbon dioxide (CO2)
being pumped into the
atmosphere.
• Global Warming is the
temperature rising each year.
3. How Global Warming Works
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas)
6. GLOBAL CLIMATE
WARMING CHANGE
is the increase of the is a broader term
Earth’s average that refers to long-
surface temperature term changes in
due to a build-up of climate, including
greenhouse gases in average
the atmosphere. temperature and
precipitation.
7. •Global Warming is caused by CO2 and
other trace gases such as Methane given
off by the burning fuels and wood.
• These gases called green house
gases are mainly given off by
factories and cars.
• Green house gases lets in heat, but
doesn’t let the heat get out.
11. Rising Sea Level Increased
Temperature
Habitat Damage and Changes in Water
Species Affected Supply
12. • “Rising global temperatures are
expected to raise sea level, and
change precipitation and other local
climate conditions.
• Changing regional climate could alter
forests, crop yields, and water supplies.
• It could also affect human health,
animals, and many types of
ecosystems.
13. “Penguin population decline.
Adelie penguin populations
have shrunk by 33 percent
during the past 25 years in
response to declines in their
winter sea ice habitat.”
15. The earth has had highs
and lows, droughts and
floods, but nothing has
been like the past 150
years.
16. Reduce Global Warming
Refuse, Reuse, Recycle
Look for products without a lot of packaging. Use own
canvas bags for shopping instead of plastic or paper bags.
It takes energy to make a lot of packaging and to make
plastic and paper bags.
Reuse all items that are reusable. Reuse paper for
writing and solving math problems.
Reuse plastic and paper bags and some containers.
Recycled paper needs less power to manufacture than
making paper from trees. Also recycle bottles and cans.
We need to give trees more time to make paper.
17. Compact
Fluorescent bulbs
Compact fluorescent light
bulbs use two-thirds less energy
than regular bulbs, so they save
energy.
This light bulb lasts much
longer – about five years -- and
gives off more light than the
incandescent bulb.
18. Turn Off
and Disconnect
Electronics
Turning off and
disconnecting
electronics
(television, computers,
etc.) when you aren’t
using them is
important to save
energy.
Some even use electricity when they’re turned off but plugged in.
19. Save Electricity
Cover your water heater
with a blanket so that it
uses less electricity.
Start the dishwasher only
when it is full.
Take short showers
because they use less water.
Turn off the water when you’re not using it.
20. Plant Trees
Trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. They provide
oxygen for us to breathe and we provide carbon dioxide for them to
breathe. Plant trees next to houses and buildings to shade them and
use less air conditioning.
