ITS ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING IN OUR DAY TO DAY LIFE

1. What is global warming? Why should we care? What can we
do?
Global Warning!

2. We all use energy
all day, everyday!

3. Most of our energy comes
from burning fossil fuels,
such as coal, gas and oil.

4. Fossil fuels are polluting
our world and causing it to
get hotter.

5. Most scientists agree that
pollution levels are
contributing to global
warming.

6. There is little doubt that the
temperature of the Earth is
rising. The last decade was the
warmest of the century, and the
last century was the warmest of
the millennium.
Scientists predict that the Earth will warm by
1.4 - 5.8C in the next 95 years!
The last Ice Age was only 5C colder than
today.

consortium of several thousand independent scientists.

7. EffaithTy Gwydr / The Greenhouse Effect
The gas from pollution traps
the heat from the sun and
causes our planet to overheat.

8. Recent records show that our climate
is getting warmer.

9. Sea ice is melting.

10. In America ice is disappearing.
Our climate is already changing!

11. Our sea levels are rising.

12. Rising tides. Some scientists predict that a warmer climate will trigger
more violent storms, which will cause increased rates of coastal erosion.

Our climate is already changing!

13. Low-lying Bangladesh is prone to coastal flooding caused by storm surges,
which have killed thousands of people in recent years. Experts say if the sea
level goes up by 1 metre, Bangladesh will lose 17.5% of its land.
Our climate is already changing!

14. Experts predict that fierce storms and floods are likely to become more
frequent in the future. If homes and factories continue to be built on
floodplains, the cost of severe flooding will soar.

How old will you or your children be?
The way we live will determine the temperature.
Worst case: if high pollution
emissions
In 25 years…
Best case: if low pollution
emissions

Predicted changes in annual average temperature

19. Scientists predict that by 2080 Wales
will experience:
An average
increase in
temperature
of by 2%

20. More rain in
winter and less
rain in the
summer
Scientists predict that by 2080 Wales
will experience:

21. A rise in sea level
that could range
from 18-79 cm
Scientists predict that by 2080 Wales
will experience:

22. More extreme
weather
conditions and
very severe gales

Scientists predict that by 2080 Wales

23. “Climate Change is a far
greater threat to the world
than international terrorism”
Sir David King, UK Government's Chief
Scientific Adviser
If you don’t care, who will?
“Global warming is the most serious
threat facing the planet” Tony Blair
Scientists predict that the Earth will warm by
1.4 - 5.8C in the next 95 years!

24. Be energy – efficient!
But what can I do?
If every household installed two energy efficient light bulbs, enough
energy would be saved in a year to supply all street lighting in the
UK.

25. Always remember to switch
the bathroom light off after
you go to the toilet.
Only fill the kettle with the
amount of water you need.
Don't leave your computer
on after you're finished using
it.
If you feel cold try putting on
a jumper before you turn up
the heating.
