INGLES-CONDITIONALS JUAN MANUEL ROMERO MORA COLEGIO NUEVA ZELANDIA I.E.D 10-01 2021 CLIMATE CHANGE JUAN MANUEL Juan.romero180@educacionbogota.edu.co If we don’t act now, the planet is lost What is the climate change? Climate change is a phenomenon that includes those alterations of the parameters climatic: temperatures, precipitations, diverse climatic phenomena, etc. Normally this type of change occurs over several centuries, allowing animal and plant species gradually adapt to new conditions climatological. However, when the climate changes rapidly, ecosystems lose their opportunity to adapt, with the consequence of producing migrations of beings alive and even the death of those who for some reason cannot migrate. The Industrial Age has been, over the last two hundred years, a serious cultural, economic and climatic impact on a global level. Along with the gradual industrialization, a culture has been imposed that generates more and more products disposable and that prioritizes cheap consumption over responsible consumption. All of it generates an emission of gases that are concentrated in the atmosphere aggravating the effect greenhouse, contributing to rising temperatures and global warming of the earth in a very accelerated way, and we will suffer the consequences if these changes continue. Consequences If we contribute, we would change the situation during the last 2,000 years the climate has been relatively stable with a slight cooling of the earth during the period between 1500 and 1850. In the last 50 years, human activity, in particular the consumption of fuels fossil fuels, has released sufficient amounts of CO2 and other greenhouse gases to retain more heat in the lower layers of the atmosphere and alter the global climate. In the last 130 years the world has warmed approximately 0.85 ºC. During the past 30 years each decade has been warmer than any preceding decade, since 1850. Sea level is rising, glaciers are melting and regimes of rains are changing. Extreme weather events are increasingly intense and frequent. JUAN MANUEL Juan.romero180@educacionbogota.edu.co Would you have helped the planet if you had known the situation before? OBJECTIVES - Cite the causes of climate change. - Describe the current and future repercussions on health. - Propose action plans to stop climate change. If we start now, it will not be late, the planet belongs to everyone and our responsibility to take care of it generates consistency and do not wait any longer.
