Climate change is causing temperatures to rise globally, with Catalonia experiencing less snowfall and skiing no longer possible in Barcelona. Sea levels have risen, making Venice more vulnerable to flooding and causing the Delta de l'Ebre in Catalonia to disappear. While some areas like Russia may benefit through increased agriculture, other heavily populated coastal regions will be negatively impacted by higher sea temperatures, stronger hurricanes, and less rainfall in Catalonia within 30-40 years if emissions are not reduced.

Presentació1
Scientists warned of climate change over a century ago, and now Catalonia has lost some land to rising sea levels. Global temperatures have increased by 3 degrees Celsius over the past 100 years due to increased population and pollution. Cities like Venice are at risk of flooding, while some regions like Russia may see agricultural benefits from climate change. Leaders need to take action to reduce emissions and consumption to mitigate the future impacts, which include stronger hurricanes, drier conditions in Catalonia, and potentially needing to pay for clean air.
Commenius geographical point of view
Global warming will cause sea levels to rise and flooding to increase, submerging islands and coastal areas. Melting glaciers and ice caps will lead to increased river flow, erosion, and changes to landscapes and agriculture. Shifting ocean and wind currents due to climate change may alter important streams and impact food supply. While melting ice will initially provide extra fresh water, long-term effects include saltwater intrusion and lack of fresh water availability.
Climate graph
This document contains a table showing monthly precipitation and temperature data for an unknown location. Precipitation was highest in July at 60 l/m2 and lowest in February at 21 l/m2. Temperatures were also highest in July at 12°C and lowest in February at -9°C. Based on the climate patterns of consistent rainfall and cool summers, the document concludes this is likely a oceanic or mountain climate such as that of Finland.
Global Warming
This document provides an overview of a session on global warming, including its definition as the observed increase in average temperatures of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans, primary causes as carbon dioxide emissions from human activities, and effects such as rising sea levels and increased extreme weather events. Prevention methods are also discussed like using renewable energy and public transportation to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
TRiO Presentation-example- Edgar Castillo
Global warming is affecting the planet in several ways. Glaciers are melting, hurricanes are getting stronger, and temperatures are rising to record levels. Various signs point to the Earth getting warmer due to factors like carbon dioxide emissions and pollution. If actions are not taken, even more severe consequences could occur such as rising sea levels, more diseases, and polar bears becoming extinct.
Climate and Your Health, NZ Slides for General Audiences
This document summarizes various health effects that are associated with or exacerbated by climate change, including warmer temperatures, more frequent and intense heat waves, drought, heavy rainfall, more powerful cyclones, rising sea levels, and changes in infectious disease transmission. It notes that New Zealand is warming, with warmer winters and hotter summers projected by 2050-2100. This will lead to longer and more frequent heat waves. Other health risks discussed include increased cases of mosquito-borne infections like dengue fever, waterborne illnesses linked to flooding and contamination, air pollution and allergies, and mental health impacts from displacement and stress. The document emphasizes the urgency of action on climate change to protect public health.
Circulacion oceanica
The document summarizes ocean currents and temperatures in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It discusses the Gulf Stream and prevailing winds that influence surface currents. It also describes the concept of Ekman transport where wind moves water at different depths in different directions, influencing water temperature near coasts. Deep ocean water below 5km has not reached freezing temperatures. Major currents are driven by sinking cold, salty water at specific locations in the Atlantic and Antarctic Oceans.
Letter (3)
The letter discusses how climate change is affecting the environment. It notes that temperatures are projected to rise between 0.5 to 8.6°F over the next hundred years according to the EPA. This warming will cause ice caps to melt and sea levels to rise, oceans to become more acidic which harms agriculture, and issues like droughts and floods in the US. The letter argues that agricultural practices that release methane from cows eating corn are disrupting the climate, and this methane and nitrous oxide from cow waste harm the environment more than carbon dioxide.

Summer
The climate in England is variable with warm, wet summers and cool, mild winters. Temperatures average between 0°C in winter and 32°C in summer. Summers are a time for holidays and outdoor activities like beach trips, various water sports like water skiing and scuba diving, and surfing. Common summer fruits include strawberries, cherries, peaches and melons while vegetables include tomatoes, zucchini, spinach and corn. Typical summer fashion includes shorts, skirts, sandals and colorful printed styles.
The climate of UK
The climate of the United Kingdom is classified as mid-latitude oceanic, with warm summers, cool winters, and plentiful precipitation. Northern Ireland, Wales, and western parts of England and Scotland generally experience the mildest, wettest, and windiest conditions, while eastern areas are drier, cooler, and less windy. Northern regions are generally cooler and wetter. Different air masses influence different parts of the country, bringing either cool moist air or warm dry air depending on location.
British weather
The British climate is generally mild and temperate, with temperatures rarely falling below 10°C or rising above 32°C. The mountainous areas receive more rainfall than other regions. March and June are typically the driest months, while September and January experience the most precipitation on average, due to the moderating influence of the Atlantic Ocean.

Pete McCain earns $50,000 annually or $4,167 per month. His monthly budget allocates $3,813 for expenses including $670 rent, $300 utilities, and $200 groceries. By sticking to his budget, Pete expects to save $250 per month plus keep $1,000 in savings, allowing him to afford a $1,000 computer within 4 months.
Climate change final
Climate change is disrupting the water cycle and jeopardizing water, food, and energy security. It is causing more frequent and intense droughts, heavy precipitation events, melting glaciers, and harmful algal blooms. Higher temperatures lead to increased evaporation and dry periods interspersed with heavy rainfall and flooding. Many glaciers are retreating and may disappear, reducing fresh water sources for dependent areas. Glacial melting is also expanding ocean volumes. Climate change has warmed waters and caused more common, severe algal blooms that damage ecosystems and threaten human and animal health.
El Nino
The document discusses the climatic phenomena known as El Niño and La Niña, explaining that El Niño occurs every 3-4 years around Christmas and lasts 12-18 months, bringing warm waters and desert-like conditions to the Philippines and higher sea levels in Southeast Asia, while La Niña exaggerates normal ocean temperature patterns and increases upwelling off Peru.

Catalonia
Climate change is accelerating according to scientists and will have significant impacts on Catalonia. Summers will be hotter, winters milder, and sea level rise will cause Catalonia to lose land area. The temperature increase of 3.5°C on average will also affect snow levels in the Pyrenees and Barcelona. Within 60-70 years, the effects of climate change will be visible through changes to vegetation zones, skin variations, and water temperatures in lakes and the sea.

BEYOND LIMITS: WHERE WE'RE HEADED
ECOLOGY
How far can we push the planet?
BUSINESS, GOVERNMENT OR TECHNOLOGY forecasts usually look five or 10 years out, 50 years at most. Among climate scientists, there is some talk of century's end. In reality, carbon dioxide dumped into the atmosphere today will affect Earth hundreds of thousands of years hence.
How will greenhouse gases change the far future? No one can say for sure exactly how Earth will respond, but climate scientists -- using mathematical models built from knowledge of past climate systems, as well as the complex web of processes that impact climate and the laws of physics and chemistry -- can make predictions about what Earth will look like.
Already we are witnessing the future envisioned by many of these models take shape. As predicted, there has been more warming over land than over the oceans, more at the poles than near the equator, more in winter than in summer and more at night than in the day. Extreme downpours have become more common. In the Arctic, ice and snow cover less area, and methane-rich permafrost soils are beginning to melt. Weather is getting weirder, with storms fueled by the additional heat.
What are the ultimate limits of the change that we are causing? The best historical example comes from the 100-million-year-old climate of the Cretaceous period, when moist, hot air enveloped dinosaurs' leathery skin, crocodilelike creatures swam in the Arctic and teeming plant life flourished in the CO2-rich air. The greenhouse that is forming now will have consequences that last for hundreds of thousands of years or more. But first, it will profoundly affect much of life on the planet -- especially us.
A DESERT IN ITALY
ONE OF THE GREATEST uncertainties in climate prediction is the amount of CO2 that will ultimately be released into the atmosphere. In this article, I will assume industrial civilization will continue to do what it has been doing for the past 200 years -- namely, burn fossil fuels at an accelerating rate until we can no longer afford to pull them out of the ground.
Just how much CO2 could we put into the atmosphere? All told, there are about one quadrillion metric tons (1021 grams) of organic carbon locked up in Earth's sedimentary shell in one form or another. So far we have burned only one twentieth of 1 percent of this carbon, or roughly 2,000 billion metric tons of CO2.
With all the carbon locked in Earth's crust, we will never run out of fossil fuels. We are now extracting oil from tar sands and natural gas from water-fractured shale -- both resources once thought to be technologically and economically inaccessible. No one can confidently predict just how far ingenuity can take us. Yet eventually the cost of extraction and processing will become so high that fossil fuels will become more expensive than alternativ ...
Catalonia in 2036
Catalonia in 2036
In 30 years, climate change will cause significant changes to Catalonia. Summers will be longer and winters softer. Barcelona will become smaller due to rising sea levels. Other coastal areas like Venice will also be affected by higher sea levels and flooding. Important areas like the Ebro Delta and beaches may disappear altogether as the climate warms and weather patterns change dramatically. Vineyards may move further north, like to Scotland. Within a few short years, the Earth's landscape and climate could be very different if greenhouse gas emissions are not reduced globally.
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
Greenhouseeffect
The greenhouse effect describes how greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide trap heat in the lower atmosphere, keeping the global average temperature about 60°F warmer than it would otherwise be. Without this natural greenhouse effect, the earth's temperature would be about -18°C. However, human activities that release additional greenhouse gases like burning fossil fuels are enhancing the greenhouse effect and causing global warming, with potential consequences including rising sea levels, changes in weather patterns, and difficulties for plants and animals.
Global Warming
Global warming refers to the current rise in average global temperatures due to human-caused increases in greenhouse gases since the industrial revolution. Climate models project further global temperature increases of 1.1 to 6.4 degrees Celsius by 2100, which will have widespread effects. Regions most vulnerable to climate change impacts include the Caribbean (stronger hurricanes), Bangladesh (more flooding), Tuvalu and the Pacific Islands (rising sea levels), the Alps (less snow), Siberia (thawing permafrost), Sudan (desertification), Australia (more wildfires), and the Great Barrier Reef (coral bleaching from warming oceans). Individual actions like reducing energy usage and recycling can help address the problem.
task A
Climate change is primarily driven by human activities like burning fossil fuels since the 1800s, which release greenhouse gases and cause the planet to warm faster than natural variations. The main effect of climate change over the past 10,000 years is that current annual global temperatures are the warmest of that period. We are currently in an interglacial period within the ongoing ice age, characterized by relatively mild temperatures and melting ice sheets.
energy security1
This document discusses the urgent need to address climate change in order to avoid catastrophic consequences. It notes that 2009 is a critical year for global climate action, with important summits planned. The document then discusses how climate is powered by energy exchange between the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere and biosphere. It notes that carbon dioxide plays a key role in maintaining the planet's temperature equilibrium, but that human emissions from fossil fuel burning are disrupting this balance. The document warns that without significant emission reductions, global warming of over 2°C could have devastating environmental, economic and social impacts worldwide.
Global Warming
The document discusses evidence of global warming due to human activities increasing greenhouse gases. It notes increasing temperatures, more extreme weather like heat waves and flooding, and melting ice contributing to rising sea levels. The Islamic view emphasizes humans' role as caretakers of Allah's creation and avoiding abuse that could disrupt the environment.

Tips for Writing Comparison/Contrast Essays
1. Be sure to introduce BOTH stories, in your opening paragraph, and also to tell the reader what the stories have in common that makes it possible to compare them.
2. Make sure that you do actually compare/contrast the stories (for example, ‘Tim, unlike Montresor, kills because it is his job to.’) This will ensure that you end up with a single, cohesive essay, not two mini-essays sitting on top of each other.
3. Make sure that you deal with the things you are comparing (in this case two characters) at equal length.

Abstract:
The article discusses how climate change and other anthropogenic ecological crises will affect the planet in the future. Topics include how ecologists use historical climate data to produce forecasts about future climate models, how human activity has resulted in the release of nearly 2,000 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide, and how increases in carbon dioxide produce a positive feedback loop whereby global warming produces less precipitation. Additional information is presented on how average global temperatures could rise by ten degrees Celsius. INSET: Climate: Past as Future.

ECOLOGY
How far can we push the planet?
BUSINESS, GOVERNMENT OR TECHNOLOGY forecasts usually look five or 10 years out, 50 years at most. Among climate scientists, there is some talk of century's end. In reality, carbon dioxide dumped into the atmosphere today will affect Earth hundreds of thousands of years hence.
How will greenhouse gases change the far future? No one can say for sure exactly how Earth will ...

1. Average global temperatures have increased by 1.2 degrees Celsius since 1880, with the greatest warming occurring in the late 20th century. The Arctic has warmed the most at over 4 degrees Fahrenheit since the 1960s.
2. Scientific evidence shows that the recent warming is due to human greenhouse gas emissions, not natural factors. Carbon dioxide levels have increased over 40% since the pre-industrial era due to fossil fuel use.
3. Effects of the warming include shrinking ice sheets, rising sea levels, more extreme weather, and species moving to cooler areas. The impacts are expected to intensify if emissions are not reduced as outlined in the Paris Agreement.
Effect of global by uae teacher
Global warming is causing the polar ice caps to melt rapidly, which will raise sea levels and threaten coastal communities. As temperatures rise due to greenhouse gas emissions, weather patterns are becoming more extreme with more floods, droughts, hurricanes and tornadoes. This melting of the ice caps reduces their ability to reflect the sun's heat back into space, causing further warming in a dangerous feedback loop. If greenhouse gas emissions are not reduced, scientists predict the ice caps could melt entirely by 2100, raising sea levels by 50-90 inches and submerging many major coastal cities under water.
Global warming and its effects
This document discusses several major current environmental issues:
1) Pollution, population growth, global warming, waste disposal, climate change, and other issues are negatively impacting the environment.
2) Increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from human activities is causing global warming. As the planet warms, glaciers and ice sheets are melting, sea levels are rising, and extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and severe.
3) Warming is also impacting ecosystems and biodiversity as species struggle to adapt to rapid climate change. Key environmental problems like pollution, overpopulation, and resource depletion exacerbate global warming if left unaddressed. Urgent action is needed to transition to renewable energy and more sustainable practices globally

The document discusses the issue of global warming and water management. It mentions Al Goure, a politician who wants to change water consumption worldwide. Researchers agree with his views about the problems that will occur if no action is taken. The 54th state and government will attend a climate meeting in Copenhagen to reduce carbon emissions by 20-30% globally. Global warming is leading to melting glaciers and rising sea levels, threatening water access and food production for many people. Expensive infrastructure projects will be needed to address the effects, and some island nations may disappear entirely, presenting economic and security challenges.
Global warming
The document summarizes the scientific evidence and consensus on climate change. It explains that human emissions of greenhouse gases are trapping heat and causing the planet to warm at a rate not seen in centuries. This is melting ice, raising sea levels, and shifting weather patterns in ways that threaten ecosystems and human communities. While uncertainties remain, most climate scientists agree that significant impacts are already occurring and will increase substantially if emissions are not reduced.
Shashank
Global warming is caused by an enhanced greenhouse effect trapping heat in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gas levels like carbon dioxide and methane have increased significantly since the industrial revolution due to human activity. This additional heat in the atmosphere is causing the planet to warm, with the last century seeing surface temperatures rise 0.6-0.9 degrees Celsius. Continued warming is projected to increase temperatures 2-6 degrees Celsius by 2100 and cause serious consequences like rising sea levels displacing millions of coastal inhabitants.
Changing climate pp
The document discusses climate change and its causes. It provides the following key points:
1) In 2008, 193 countries signed an anti-CO2 emissions treaty, except the USA and China. The USA did not believe in global warming under Bush, and China profits from natural resources.
2) The industrial revolution beginning in the 1800s caused a rise in CO2 levels and global temperatures.
3) Human activities like burning fossil fuels are major contributors to increased greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. This will have severe environmental and economic impacts worldwide if left unaddressed.
Turn down the heat final project notes
This document summarizes key points from a course on climate change:
1. We are already experiencing impacts from 0.6-0.8°C of warming and have at least another 0.6-0.8°C committed due to past emissions.
2. Continuing at current emission rates would take us to 450ppm CO2 by 2035, a potential "tipping point" for climate change and ecosystems.
3. Warming of 2°C may be too much and could lead to further warming from feedbacks like melting ice sheets and methane release potentially taking us to 3°C.
Global warming
Global warming is a slow rise in Earth's surface temperature caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from human activities like burning fossil fuels. Temperatures have increased about 0.74°C in the last 150 years and are projected to rise up to 6°C in the next century. Higher temperatures cause sea level rise from water expansion and melting ice sheets and glaciers, threatening many coastal cities. While some effects of global warming are uncertain, consequences may include stronger storms, shifting climate patterns, and damage to agriculture and natural environments. Responses have included international agreements like the Kyoto Protocol to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and efforts to adapt to or mitigate climate change impacts.
