Climate Change
- How has it affected the world?
- Higher Temperatures
- The world has been warming
since the 1950s. Now there are
more hot days than cold days due
to climate change
- Heavier Storms & Floods
- The earth's atmosphere can hold
more and more moisture as it
warms. So, this causes more storms
and floods around the world
- Heat Waves
- They will become hotter,
longer and more frequent all
over the world
- What are the impacts in the future?
- Massive Migrations
- Climate refugees are real and will
become a bigger problem in the
future. It is estimated there will
be 1 billion by 2050
- More Extreme Hurricanes
- Hurricanes will increase in
violence due to climate change
causing more deaths , refugees
and damage
- Extinctions
- Temperature that surpasses the
physiological tolerance of the species
will be one of the main causes of
extinction in the future
- How can we help defeat it?
- Don't waste food
- Methane comes from food rotting in
landfills & it it is a lot stronger than CO2
- Ride a bike/ carpool
- Riding a bike uses a small amount
of fossil fuels and it's a
pollution-free way of trasnportation
- Unplug electronics when not using them
- Most of the energy coming from our
houses use fossil fuels, so, when you
unplug them you are reducing your
carbon emissions
- What is causing it?
- Deforestation
- Forests absorb carbon dioxide and
release oxygen into the air but when we
cut down trees the process is reversed
- Increase In Population
- More people means the need
for more resources, which
means speeding up the increase
in greenhouse gas
emissions
- Greenhouse gases are increasing
- When there are more greenhouse
gases in the air, the air holds more
heat, which causes climate change
