The case ofClimate       ChangeBy E.t.
What is climate change ?Climate change refers to long-term changes in climate, including average temperature and rainfall.
Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of Earth's near-surface air.Green house gasesGreenhouse  gases  absorb  andCarbon dioxide
Nitrous oxidehold heat in the atmosphere.Methane
Etc.Human activitiesburning fossil fuels, such as coal, oil or gas
the increasing demands on electricity
clearing land, including logging
the breakdown of food and plant wastes and sewerage
some industrial processes, such as making cement and aluminum.
some aspects of farming, such as raising cattle and sheep, using fertilizers and growing some crops why is the Climate changing?
Since the Industrial Revolution in the 1700’s, activities, such as the burning of oil, coal and gas, and deforestation, have increased CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere. In 2005, global atmospheric concentrations of CO2 were 35% higher than they were before the Industrial Revolution.
CO2 level after industrial revolutionScientists at the Mauna Loa observatory in Hawaii say that CO2 levels in the atmosphere now stand at 387 parts per million (ppm), up almost 40% since the industrial revolution and the highest for at least the last 650,000 years.
Impact of burning fossil fuelWater resourcesThe melting of glaciers can cause floodsRivers will dry up, causing droughtMore intense rainfall on rainy day and more dry days in a yearRise of sea levelPeople living in islands will lose their homesThe ecosystem will be wiped outOcean acidificationDecrease the pH valueSome animal will extinct
