Introduction

• What is Global Warming?
  – Global warming
    • increase in average air and water
      temperatures
    • due in part to the greenhouse effect
    • a natural phenomenon
    • human activities have significantly amplified
  – Global warming is
    • Climate Change
Causes

• Major contributors are human activities
• Excessive use of Non-Renewable
  Energy
  – producing gases from greenhouse
• Two groups influencing causes
  – Natural causes
  – Manmade causes
Natural Causes

• Methane gas release from
  – Wetlands
  – Artic tundra
• Greenhouse-trapping gases
  – Heating the atmosphere of the Earth
  – Undergoing cycle of climate change
Manmade Causes
•   Greenhouse Effect
•   Pollution
•   Burning fossil fuels (oil and coal)
•   Factory production of plastics
•   Deforestation

Conclusion
• Natural and manmade causes
  are
   – Harming and increasing the
     consequences

  • 6. Manmade Causes • Greenhouse Effect • Pollution • Burning fossil fuels (oil and coal) • Factory production of plastics • Deforestation
  • 10. Consequences • Rising air and water temperatures • Rising sea levels and changes in ocean currents • Increased extreme weather events • Rapidly melting glaciers • Changes in animal migration

  • 12. Possible Solutions • Wind Power • Solar Power • Transportation: Fuel-Efficiency
  • 13. Roles and Responsibilities • Local and national government – Legislation for air, water and soil quality – Participation at global, regional, national cooperation – Targets are yearly – Government department – Regulations, laws, procedures, and policies
  • 14. Roles and Responsibilities • Corporations – Stop production of global warming favoring products – Follow best practices – Face fines and shut down – Favoring global warming should be fined and shut down. – Follow and abide with acts • established to cool global environment
  • 15. Roles and Responsibilities • Organizations (NGOs) – Working towards course of action – Requiring political acceptability – Having solutions and visions. – Conducting research and studies – Plan for immediate actions
  • 16. Roles and Responsibilities • Private individuals – Avoiding energy wasting – Using renewable sources – Turning off unwanted devices or machines – Using low energy consuming products – Recycling and reusing
  • 17. Roles and Responsibilities • Private individuals – Eating organic foods – Using public transportation, walk or cycle – Using renewable energies and clean power – Increasing in the number of plants at each household
  • 18. Recommendation • Clean Air Act • Clean Water Act • Clean Land Act • Trade Plan • Green building and living • Oil and gas business • Awareness
  • 19. Conclusion • Global warming serious threat to – Earth – Humans – Animals – Plants • Conserving use of harmful activities • Minimizing production of CO2
  • 20. Conclusion • Natural and manmade causes are – Harming and increasing the consequences • Possible solutions available • Slowing down the effects is not effective • Cooling the planet is the most effective
