The causes and effects of climate change
The document gives an introduction to climate change. it gives a definition for weather, climate and climate change. it gives the causes and effects of climate change and strategies that can be implemented to mitigate climate change.
The Real Cause of Global Climate Change
Global Climate Change is the result of a succession of climatic distortions that have resulted from the man made alteration to a high pressure zone that had appeared in North Eastern Africa for the passed few million years. By introducing large scale river management dams on the Nile in Egypt to control the annual midsummer flood, this set off a sequence of events further south in the Ethopian Highlands that resulted in a reduction in the number and density of Easterly Waves, which has increased the amount of solar rediation absorbed by the Equitorial Atlantic and Pacific, thus warming the planet and distorting a number of major weather systems.

The causes and effects of climate change
The document gives an introduction to climate change. it gives a definition for weather, climate and climate change. it gives the causes and effects of climate change and strategies that can be implemented to mitigate climate change.
The Real Cause of Global Climate Change
Global Climate Change is the result of a succession of climatic distortions that have resulted from the man made alteration to a high pressure zone that had appeared in North Eastern Africa for the passed few million years. By introducing large scale river management dams on the Nile in Egypt to control the annual midsummer flood, this set off a sequence of events further south in the Ethopian Highlands that resulted in a reduction in the number and density of Easterly Waves, which has increased the amount of solar rediation absorbed by the Equitorial Atlantic and Pacific, thus warming the planet and distorting a number of major weather systems.
Greenhouse Gases
Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane trap heat in the atmosphere and prevent wild temperature swings on Earth. While these gases are necessary to maintain a livable climate, human activities have increased their concentrations in the atmosphere to unprecedented levels. Carbon dioxide levels have risen from 180-300 parts per million over the last 650,000 years to over 400 ppm currently due to burning fossil fuels. This rise is accelerating global warming and climate change impacts if left unaddressed.
Greenhouse Gases
The document discusses greenhouse gases and their role in the greenhouse effect. It notes that 31% of incoming solar radiation is reflected by clouds, atmosphere and land, while 30% is absorbed by the atmosphere. The remaining radiation warms Earth's surface. Increased greenhouse gas concentrations mean less heat is released to space, increasing average surface temperatures. Tree ring data provides long-term climate records, with thicker rings indicating optimal growth conditions.
The Greenhouse Effect
The document discusses the greenhouse effect, where greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and chlorofluorocarbons in the atmosphere trap heat radiating from the Earth, causing the planet to warm. These gases prevent infrared radiation emitted from the Earth's surface from escaping into space, similarly to how a greenhouse retains heat. As a result of increased greenhouse gases from human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, the Earth's average temperature is rising in global warming. Effects of the greenhouse effect include melting glaciers and rising sea levels, and steps to reduce it include using alternative energy sources and replanting trees.
Green house effect
The document discusses the greenhouse effect and related topics in three paragraphs:
1) It defines the greenhouse effect as a phenomenon that helps keep the Earth warm enough to support life. It was first postulated in 1896 and carbon dioxide levels have increased 25% in recent years.
2) Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and water vapor trap heat in the lower atmosphere like glass. Increased production of these gases from human activities is enhancing the greenhouse effect and causing global warming.
3) The impacts of the enhanced greenhouse effect include rising temperatures, sea levels and extreme weather. Control measures involve reducing greenhouse gas emissions through energy conservation, renewable energy, and international cooperation.
Climate Change Presentation
The document discusses the major causes and effects of climate change. The main causes are natural factors like changes in Earth's orbit and methane release from tundra, as well as human factors such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, industrial pollution, and increased population. Some effects of rising temperatures include melting ice and glaciers, rising sea levels, more extreme weather, and disrupted animal habitats. The document also briefly mentions alternative energy sources and individual actions people can take to help address climate change.
Causes and effects of climate change
This document defines climate change as a change directly or indirectly caused by human activity that alters the composition of the atmosphere in addition to natural variability. It lists both natural causes like volcanic eruptions and human causes such as greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and burning fossil fuels as contributing to climate change. The effects of climate change discussed include rising sea levels from melting ice sheets, more extreme weather events like heavy rainfall and drought, declining crop productivity, changing ecosystems, rising temperatures, and ocean acidification.

Climate Change and the Philippines
The document discusses climate change impacts and responses for the Philippines. It reviews the science showing human CO2 emissions are causing global warming. It then outlines many observed impacts of global warming globally and specific impacts projected for the Philippines, including sea level rise inundating large areas of land, increasing temperatures and changes to rainfall patterns affecting agriculture and more frequent/stronger typhoons. It argues the Philippines is highly vulnerable and responses must address local needs.
Extinction Rebellion Climate Science Saddleworth Presentation
The presentation covers the climate emergency, the threats posed by climate change including mass extinction, the solutions available to address it, and the work of Extinction Rebellion. It urges action such as joining Extinction Rebellion, and provides suggestions for immediate actions individuals can take to help address the crisis.

Presentation by Professor Bill McGuire to the UK insurance industry on Friday 23 October at the Chartered Insurance Institute, London.
Change towards doom!
The document outlines predictions for how climate change will impact the world at various points throughout the 21st century based on current trends and scientific understanding:
- By 2020, flash floods are very likely to increase across Europe and agricultural yields may drop by up to 50% in some areas as rainfall patterns shift. The global population will reach 7.6 billion.
- Between 2030-2050, warming will cause tropical glaciers and alpine glaciers to disappear, increasing heat-related deaths in many regions. Crop yields may both increase and decrease in different areas. A quarter of plant and animal species could face extinction.
- By 2080-2100, sea level rise and increased drought could displace over 1 billion

Part one of four of my slides from my two-night talk at Seattle's Town Hall. This evening was introduced by Seattle City Council President Richard Conlin, and is about the global context in which Seattle finds itself making decisions.
Climate Change: From Solving It to Surviving It
The document discusses a three-part forum on climate change: Fear and Despair about the science of climate change and its effects; Hope and Inspiration about technologies, policies, and behaviors that can mitigate climate change; and Faith and Action about theology, community, and determining calls to action. It provides information from scientific sources on the causes and impacts of climate change, including rising temperatures, sea levels, and carbon dioxide levels threatening civilization. Actions are needed to reduce emissions and build resilience to have hope for the future.
An Even More Inconvenient Truth
Brief presentation that describes how the FOUR-FOLD explosive growth of global population that has occurred in the last 100 years is the underlying root cause of on-going environmental destruction and threatens the existance of all higher animal species on this planet, including our own.
An Even More Inconvenient Truth V11
The document discusses overpopulation and its environmental impacts. It argues that population growth is the primary driver of issues like depletion of resources, climate change, and extinction of species. While organizations like Friends of the Earth do not see population growth as a major issue, the document claims their proposed solutions around reducing consumption will not be enough to avoid global collapse given the rising population. It advocates for measures to stabilize populations in developing countries and reduce populations in developed countries through education and access to family planning.
The planet in our hands: responding to climate change (Glasgow)
Sir Mark Walport gave a series of public lectures on climate change at Science and Discovery Centres across the UK. In these talks he explored what the science tells us, and what we, as a developed nation, should do in response.
These slides come from the talk given in Glasgow on 14 March 2014, but differ only slightly from the slides used in earlier talks.

Environmental management intro
The document discusses the objectives of environmental management which are to understand the impacts of modern society on the environment and ways to reduce environmental footprint. It defines environmental management as managing the interaction between social, economic and biological environments. The need to study it is because the planet's resources are limited and the environment is deteriorating rapidly from human activities. It then discusses several issues related to the convergence of global warming, overpopulation and globalization including rising energy demand, emergence of petro-dictatorships, effects of climate change, energy poverty and biodiversity loss.

The document discusses several environmental projections related to population growth, climate change, and resource scarcity over the period from 1800 to 2100. It projects that by 2050, global temperatures could rise by 1.4-3.0°C, nearly half the world's population will experience high water stress, and over 40% of people will live in countries facing water scarcity or stress. Forest areas are predicted to decline significantly by 2030 as populations and consumption rise, exacerbating resource and climate challenges over the coming decades as global population reaches over 9 billion.

The document discusses how human population growth and activities are threatening life on Earth by driving environmental problems like climate change, water scarcity, and biodiversity loss. Some key points:
- Human population has grown from 1 million 10,000 years ago to over 7 billion today and is projected to reach 10 billion by 2100.
- This rapid growth is putting unsustainable demands on natural resources and land. Food production alone will need to exceed all agricultural output in history by 2050 to feed the growing population.
- Human activities are modifying the climate and every component that determines it - the atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, and biosphere. We are likely heading towards catastrophic global warming of 4°C or more by
A climate to fear | Hugh Montgomery at TBS23
This document provides an overview of climate change impacts over the past 27 years since the 1995 COP1 conference. It notes that predictions from 14, 12, and 8 years ago about emissions peaking to limit warming to below 2°C have not come to pass. It then summarizes extreme weather events and impacts across regions in recent years, including record wildfires, heatwaves, droughts, and flooding. Key feedbacks are accelerating such as permafrost and methane hydrate release. Major impacts to global systems like the Atlantic overturning circulation and jet streams are also discussed. The next decade is portrayed as critical for avoiding widespread societal collapse.
OpenTech 20100911 talk
The document discusses how the 2010s will be an age of scarcity due to climate change and carbon emissions. It notes data from various sources about rising global temperatures, declining Arctic ice levels, and the need to cut carbon emissions in half by 2050 to avoid much higher costs. The size of the problem is estimated at $270-316 trillion to meet energy demands through 2050. Renewable energy development and investment are increasing but major changes are still needed across many areas including energy production, transportation, buildings, and policy to transition away from carbon-intensive systems and address climate change.
World in 2050 quanta 2013
This document discusses predictions for the future in the year 2050 in several areas:
- Population is expected to continue growing, especially in poorer countries, which may struggle to provide food and resources for their people. Some countries may be governed indirectly by more advanced nations.
- Technologies like flying cars, robot soldiers, life on Mars, and renewable energy sources could become realities. However, overreliance on technology could also cause unforeseen problems if not developed responsibly.
- Environmental issues like species extinction, pollution, and climate change may worsen by 2050 unless addressed. Resources and living conditions will vary greatly between more and less developed parts of the world. Overall the future remains uncertain, but predictions provide
Alex Steffen of Worldchanging Night One part 1
This document provides a summary of key points regarding the history and future of humanity's relationship with the environment and climate change. It notes that humans evolved tools and agriculture that allowed greater exploitation of nature. Industrialization further increased human impacts. Current consumption and population levels are stressing planetary boundaries, with mass extinction, pollution and potential climate tipping points. Alternative solutions proposed, like geoengineering, are unlikely to solve the problem on their own. Decoupling economic growth from resource use and transitioning to renewable energy and sustainable systems will be required to avoid collapse and allow for continued prosperity within Earth's limits.
Save Earth
The document discusses the impacts of global warming and climate change. It notes that average global temperatures have risen 0.74° Celsius since 1800 and are projected to increase by 1.8-4° Celsius in the next 50 years due to greenhouse gas emissions. Impacts include melting ice caps and glaciers, rising sea levels that could flood coastal cities by 2100, more droughts and forest fires, reduced food production, and increased disease. Stronger hurricanes and other extreme weather in recent years provide evidence that climate change impacts have already begun.
