7. Global warming. Causes.
• several greenhouse gases
• Most come from the combustion of fossil fuels in cars, factories and
electricity production.
• Some of them can even trap more heat than CO2.
8. Effects of global warming.
• Ice is melting worldwide
• Sea level rise became faster over the last century.
• Some butterflies, foxes, and alpine plants have moved farther north or to
higher, cooler areas.
• New types of animals and plans will be developed.
9. What can happen in future?
• Hurricanes and other storms are likely to become stronger.
• Floods and droughts will become more common.
• Less fresh water will be available.
• Ecosystems will change—some species will die, some will grow new.
10. What Can We Do?
• Use bio-machines
• Cutting forests, to plant new one to restore oxygen in the air.
