1.
2. The planet is getting warmer and
warmer and we are going towards
an increase in the average
temperature of the globe.
At the end of this century, it will
increase up to 4-5 degrees
centigrade .
This increase in temperature is due to
the constant growth and
concentration of greenhouse gas
emissions such as carbon dioxide,
methane and nitrous oxide.
6. Climate change in Italy
The alarm is particularly serious
for our country . According to
present temperature data, Italy is
warming faster than the global
average and the other countries
on our planet. In addition the
frequency of floods, whirlwinds
and earthquakes is increasing
more and more.
7. The human race is responsible for climate
changes
Glaciers melting is an evident and dramatic
example of the climate changes.
• What is going to happen in the future?
• Since the second half of the XIX century to 2007, the
Earth temperature has increased of almost 1 degree
centigrade.
• In 2007 the carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas,
reached the record level of 384 parts for million.
• The hottest ten years have been registered recently.
The climate has always changed in the long history
of the Earth for :
a. Astronomic causes
b. Geological causes
c. Anthropic causes
Carbon dioxide→ increase of the greenhouse gas concentration
Within a few centuries, we’ll input into the atmosphere all
the organic carbon that has been stored in the
sediments during hundreds of millions of years.
CLIMATE CHANGES AFFECT ALL
ECOSYSTEMS AND THE HUMAN BEINGS. IF
WE DON’T CHANGE OUR LIFESTYLES,
DAMAGES CAN BE VERY SERIOUS.
