Global warming is causing severe droughts across Eastern Africa, with Somalia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda experiencing their worst droughts in recent history. The loss of plant species due to drought and warming is also concerning as plants play a key role in absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Additionally, glaciers have been melting at an accelerated rate in recent decades, with Himalayan glaciers expected to disappear entirely by 2035 if current trends continue.

Massive Expansion in Forest Biomass Energy a Threat to Forests and their People
Massive Expansion in Forest Biomass Energy a Threat to Forests and their PeopleGlobal Landscapes Forum (GLF)
Massive expansion of forest biomass energy threatens forests and local communities. It undermines land and resource rights, exacerbates conflicts, and impacts livelihoods and culture. Large-scale biomass is not truly low-carbon as it immediately emits CO2 and forests take decades to recapture the emissions. Flawed carbon accounting policies encourage biomass expansion by not counting stack emissions. To address these issues, the document calls for avoiding further biomass expansion, accurately accounting for emissions in consuming countries, supporting genuine low-carbon renewables, and protecting natural forests under indigenous control.Care about earth project ppt
The document discusses various ways to save the Earth from environmental problems. It emphasizes the importance of protecting trees, water resources, and biodiversity to ensure a livable planet. Specific actions mentioned include planting more trees, using renewable resources like solar energy, reducing air and water pollution, and stopping practices that endanger wildlife such as hunting animals. The overall message is that humanity must address issues like global warming, water scarcity, and species extinction to preserve the Earth for future generations.
Impact of Global Warming
This presentation is an effort to create an awareness of the reasons and its implications on human life due to Global warming.
How Can We Stop Global Warming?
Why should we act against global warming?
* To prevent climate whiplash
* To stop melting of glaciers and icebergs
* To reduce soil erosion
* To reduce the carbon footprint
Basicecosystems
Ecosystems are composed of living things like populations of different species that make up a biological community, as well as nonliving physical factors. All energy in ecosystems ultimately comes from the sun and is transferred between organisms, with producers like plants harnessing solar energy, consumers eating producers or other organisms, and decomposers breaking down dead organic matter. Ecosystems can change due to natural causes such as drought, disease, fires or overpopulation, or due to human activities including various types of pollution and construction.
California Wildfires 2009
Wildfires broke out in California in July 2009, burning over 3 months until being contained in October. A total of 63 fires burned across southern California, destroying homes and land. Scientists believe climate change is contributing to increased wildfire risk, with temperatures projected to rise 20-50% by century's end. This will significantly increase wildfire costs and damage to property in California without action to reduce global warming.
Deforestation group work
The document discusses several human and natural causes and effects of deforestation. Some key human causes mentioned are expanding cities, lack of farming land, and cattle pastures. Deforestation releases large amounts of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases stored in forests. It contributes significantly to climate change, and some countries' emissions are mostly due to deforestation. Deforestation also destroys natural habitats for many animals and can endanger species. Removing trees reduces the forest's ability to absorb carbon and participate in the water cycle.

Energy conservation
Energy use has changed significantly since ancient times when people relied solely on renewable resources like the sun, water, and wind. The Industrial Revolution introduced widespread use of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. These nonrenewable resources formed over millions of years and will be depleted if not conserved. It is important to investigate renewable alternatives to fossil fuels and reduce energy consumption through practices like insulating homes, using appliances efficiently, and utilizing public transportation or carpooling. A variety of renewable sources including solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, and biomass show promise but also have disadvantages needing consideration. Overall, responsible management of existing resources and development of sustainable alternatives is needed.

Global Warming
Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases trapping the sun's energy in the atmosphere and causing the Earth's temperature to rise. As the planet continues to warm, sea levels will rise and more extreme weather events like hurricanes will occur due to warmer ocean temperatures. Coastal areas will be flooded and species will die off as ecosystems are disrupted by the changing climate. To mitigate these effects, individuals need to reduce their carbon footprint by using less energy and resources, while governments should implement policies to transition to renewable energy sources and lower emissions.
Global warming real
Global warming affects animals by changing their habitats and food sources. As climates warm, some species are unable to adapt and their populations decline. Polar bears and phytoplankton are negatively impacted as they rely on environments threatened by climate change. However, some animals like great tits and red squirrels can adapt by altering behaviors like earlier breeding times that enable survival. While global warming makes life difficult for many species, small actions by individuals can help reduce the rate of climate change.
Value moment (tree)
Trees are the most valuable thing on the planet because they regulate the climate by absorbing 60% of global fossil fuel emissions each year. Climate change is causing rising temperatures, sea levels, and species extinction due to human alteration of land and oceans. While Japan is generally clean, pollution from other countries still impacts it, requiring collective global action to protect the environment such as planting more trees, reducing deforestation, better waste management, and valuing nature over material goods.

Potential consequences include negative health, environmental, and economic impacts from issues like rising sea levels and increased extreme weather events. Individual actions like reducing energy usage and driving less can help mitigate these effects.
Abby, Austin, Pd.4
Global warming is caused by the man-made greenhouse effect from burning fossil fuels which increases carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. As carbon dioxide levels rise, it makes the air more dense and warms the planet in a phenomenon known as global warming. Some consequences of global warming could include mass extinction of marine life, major droughts, spread of diseases, more hurricanes, and melting polar ice caps raising sea levels. While some argue global warming may be part of a natural cycle, most scientists believe the current rapid warming is too fast to be natural and is primarily caused by human activity like burning fossil fuels.

Burning fossil fuels and other human activities have increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, trapping more heat and causing the planet to warm. As the Earth gets hotter, disasters like hurricanes, droughts, and floods are increasing in frequency and intensity. To curb global warming, massive tree planting initiatives are underway to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The goal is to plant 100 million trees worldwide by October 2008 through a joint effort between the United Nations, non-profits, governments, schools, and individuals. Participation and pledge taking are invited to support environmental sustainability.
Global warming
Global warming poses grave dangers to our future if steps are not taken now to curb it. It is defined as the increase in Earth's temperature caused by human activities that release greenhouse gases. Burning fossil fuels, intensive farming, deforestation, and population growth all accelerate global warming. The consequences include more extreme weather, rising sea levels, spread of diseases, and threats to food and water supplies. To address this, a campaign aims to plant 100 million trees globally by October 2008 through initiatives like Mission Green Earth that encourage individuals to take action against the largest environmental problem.
Global warming by khadar
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.
Global warming
Global warming is having widespread impacts such as sea level rise, extreme weather events, and disruption of food production. If countries do not take urgent action to reduce emissions, global temperatures could rise between 2.6 and 4 degrees Celsius. Evidence of warming includes increased melting of ice worldwide, especially at the poles, and a decline in penguin populations in Antarctica. Future impacts may include stronger storms, more droughts and floods, species extinction, and threats to fresh water and ecosystems. Polar bear populations are already declining due to loss of sea ice.

Global warming
Global warming is causing significant changes to the Earth's climate. Glaciers and ice sheets are melting, sea levels are rising, and extreme weather events are becoming more common. The scientific consensus is that human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, have increased greenhouse gas levels and caused most of the warming observed since the mid-20th century. As temperatures continue to rise, the impacts on the environment, plants and animals, weather patterns, and human society will intensify and become more costly. Individual actions to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions can help address the problem.

Natural Disaster for Climate Action Project
Natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, forest fires and earthquakes can cause widespread damage and loss of life. Hurricanes are large storms that form over warm ocean waters and can have wind speeds over 252 km/hr, potentially causing destruction when making landfall. Forest fires are often started by lightning or human causes and have consequences like increasing carbon dioxide levels and destroying habitats. Floods result from heavy rainfall and can lead to property damage, health issues and environmental impacts. Earthquakes are caused by underground activity and plate tectonics, and can collapse buildings and infrastructure. Preparing for and mitigating these natural hazards helps minimize their effects.
Global warming By Siddharth Koyal
Global warming is caused by the rise in greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide from human activities like burning fossil fuels. The average temperature of the Earth has increased by 0.8°C since the late 19th century, with two-thirds of the increase occurring since 1980. While natural factors can influence climate, the current warming pattern cannot be explained without including the effect of human-emitted greenhouse gases. If warming continues unchecked, impacts are expected to intensify and include rising sea levels, stronger storms, species disruption, and more floods and droughts. Reducing emissions through actions like clean energy and more efficient use of resources can help mitigate the effects of global warming.
Global Warming
Global warming refers to the current rise in average global temperatures due to human-caused increases in greenhouse gases since the industrial revolution. Climate models project further global temperature increases of 1.1 to 6.4 degrees Celsius by 2100, which will have widespread effects. Regions most vulnerable to climate change impacts include the Caribbean (stronger hurricanes), Bangladesh (more flooding), Tuvalu and the Pacific Islands (rising sea levels), the Alps (less snow), Siberia (thawing permafrost), Sudan (desertification), Australia (more wildfires), and the Great Barrier Reef (coral bleaching from warming oceans). Individual actions like reducing energy usage and recycling can help address the problem.
Global warming cases and effects notes grade 5
Fossil fuels are a main cause of global warming when burned, as they release greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Farming, especially cattle which release methane through burping and flatulence, is another key contributor. Deforestation, which is happening at an alarming rate for agriculture and palm oil production, removes trees that absorb carbon dioxide and releases more greenhouse gases. As the climate warms due to these factors, animal habitats are disappearing and scientists predict 20-30% of species could become extinct by 2050 if changes are not made. Humans will also be negatively impacted as weather patterns change, causing issues like rising sea levels and flooding in some areas. Individual actions like reducing waste, driving less, and making
Global warming (Stop destroying the future)
Global warming is caused by increased levels of greenhouse gases trapping heat in the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels. This is enhancing the natural greenhouse effect and raising global temperatures. Some effects of global warming include rising sea levels from melting glaciers, more intense storms, droughts, species extinction, and disappearing glaciers. Countries like Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Turkey are severely affected by global warming through increased flooding, cyclones, and droughts damaging agriculture. The top countries contributing to global warming are China, the US, Russia, India, Japan, Germany, Canada, the UK, South Korea, and Iran. Small individual actions like planting trees, using energy-efficient light bulbs, and conserving resources in daily activities

When air rises and expands, it cools through adiabatic processes. This cooling can cause water vapor in the air to condense into clouds and precipitate out as rain, snow, sleet or hail depending on temperature levels. Clouds are classified based on their height and physical structure into cirrus, altostratus and nimbostratus clouds that form at high, middle and low altitudes respectively.

Unequal heating of the Earth's surface causes air temperatures to change without a change in energy. This leads some parts of the Earth to be warmer or cooler than others. When warm air rises and is blocked or forced upward by cooler air, various cloud types can form through condensation. Precipitation occurs through processes like collision-coalescence in warm clouds or Bergeron process in mixed-phase clouds, forming rain, snow, sleet, hail, or freezing rain depending on temperature.

- 2. Droughts In Some Countries. Somaliland, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda have the worst droughts in recent history. In Somaliland within three weeks of one drought sent the country into a famine. In Kenya rains had failed for the past three seasons. Severe droughts in Tanzania has caused them for relief assistance. The same goes for Uganda and Ethiopia.
