Global warming is a slow rise in Earth's surface temperature caused by burning fossil fuels which release polluting gases. Deforestation contributes to global warming by reducing the number of trees that absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Various human activities like transportation and electricity production also impact global warming by producing greenhouse gas emissions. Global warming will force changes in agriculture, tourism, and human health by increasing temperatures and weather variability worldwide. It is important for businesses to recognize and plan for the challenges of climate change.

2. • Definition (Global warming is a slow but steady rise in
Earth's surface temperature.)
• The happenings in malaysia (ex: acid rain in the city ) ;
Acid rain is caused when coal or oil is burned, which in
turn generate vast amounts of polluting gases

4. • Natural resources are materials and components
(something that can be used) that can be found within the
environment.

5. • “Reducing transportation emissions is one of the most vital
steps in fighting global warming.”

6. • Using electricity leads to heat production.
• The problem is how we produce the electricity..

7. • Sulfuric acid is one of the most important industrial material chemicals
business. (Ex: produce fertilizer, petroleum refining, processing metals,
produce rayon, as electrolyte in lead acid battery)

8. • Deforestation leads to Greenhouse effects

9. Deforestation = fewer trees
Fewer trees = more CO2
More CO2 = Enhanced Greenhouse Effect
Enhanced Greenhouse Effect = Global warming

11. • Increases in global temperature and greater variability will
force farmers to adopt new management practices.

12. • The Tourism and Travel Sector is highly affected by Global
Warming for several reasons.
1. First of all, people are going more “green” nowadays,
choosing eco-tours and eco-hotels to minimize their carbon
footprint as they travel.

13. 2. the increase in bad weather events, landslides and erosion
will all keep tourists away.

14. 3. Many countries that depend on tourism will be
affected by the sea level rise, thus resulting in the closing of
many beachside tourist spots, ski resorts and golfing hotels.

15. • For example, properties located on coasts affected by storms
where it could become more difficult and costly to obtain
insurance.

16. • For example, winter clothes will not be sold out enough
in a mild season. However, more summer clothes will be
of demand.

17. • For example, when people go shopping, if its too hot in
summer, fewer people go out, same is the case in severe
winters.

18. • The climate change could also bring a change in our
general health. It is feared that warmer climates may see
the emergence of some conditions and diseases not found
today.

19. It is important that businesses realize the
need to plan for climate change and adopt
new suitable strategies to cope with this
quick change.

23. • Invest in Renewables
• Stand Up Against Coal, Tar Sands and Fossil Fuels
• Education ( Nurturing Youngster )

24. • Green Your Commute (Encourage your employer to offer
commuter benefits that address limited or expensive
parking, reduce traffic congestion, improve employee
recruiting and retention and minimize the environmental
impacts associated with drive-alone commuting.)
• Organize Planting activities
• Go green Advertisement

26. • The Stop Global Warming Virtual March is a nonpartisan effort to bring people together to declare that
global warming is here now and that it is time to
demand solutions.

27. • Over one million individual, verified Marchers have signed up
from all 50 states (and over 25 countries)
• Over 35 U.S. Legislators and Governors have joined,
including John McCain and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

28. • promotional banners and images for use on websites, blogs
and online community pages. Show supporting and
helping this organization and spread the word by
encouraging others to join the Virtual March, by hosting a
banner or button.
• Banners
• Buddy Icon
• Badge

29. • Trying to encourage students to join these movements
against global warming and spread it over their classes
and schools ,because they think that students have been
the driving force in social change throughout history.

32. • Reduce- using fewer resources
( Ex: Choose electronics and appliances that are energyefficient. )
• Reuse- Before you recycle or dispose of anything, consider
whether it has life left in it.
( Ex: A jam jar can store leftovers. )
Recycle: prevent waste of potentially useful materials

• Encourage others to conserve

36. • Turn off Your Computer
