Global Warming - Effects Hotter temperatures More severe storms Increased drought rising ocean Loss of species Not enough fooD More health risks Poverty and displacement Global Warming - main causes 1. Usage of vehicles: Cars and trucks 2. When trees are cut, the stored carbon is released into the atmosphere as Carbon dioxide which leads to global warming 3. Fossil fuel burning: Burning of fossil fuels release carbon dioxide which is a greenhouse gas, into the air. 4. Development of industry: Certain chemical reactions used in product manufacturing produce greenhouse gases. Global Warming – ways to stop it -Drive less -Recycle more -Use less hot water -Avoid products with a lot of packaging -Adjust your thermostat -Plant a tree. Global Warming - What will life be like in 100 years? The earth would become warmer, the average temperature will increase. There will be several new weather patterns and the sea levels would rise. Eventually humans would die out.If the insect population continues to decline, all birds that depend on insect for food will become extinct. Global Warming – why should we care? Climate change won't just impact forests, or coral reefs, or even people in far-off countries – it will affect all of us. From more extreme weather to increasing food prices, to recreation and decreased opportunities to appreciate the natural world, people everywhere will feel its effects. Global Warming – Is it too late? The short answer to whether it's too late to stop climate change is: yes.But there's still time to prevent cascading effects,as every degree of additional warming has exponentially disastrous impacts,experts say.
