The burning of fossil fuels for energy
releases carbon dioxide into the
atmosphere.
A warmer climate will mean the ice
caps will melt.
A warmer climate may mean an
increase in tourism for the UK.
Sometimes forests are burnt to make
way for farmland.
The volume of the sea will increase
with warming temperatures.
There will be increased spending on
fuel and clothes to keep out the cold.
Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas.
Other greenhouse gases include
sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide,
CFC’s, nitrogen oxides and soot!
Heating bills will be less because it
will be warmer; this means less fossil
fuels will be used.
Raise taxes on fossil fuels.
Use more renewable energy.
Infrastructure in the UK won’t be able
to withstand the changing climate
conditions. Blocked roads with snow,
buckled rail tracks with the heat. This
will lead to disruption and a loss of
money for the economy.
Improve public transport.
Permanently frozen areas of the
world such as Siberia and Antarctica
will begin to melt, this means new
farming land and perhaps access to
mineral resources.
Low lying areas of the UK such as
London will be at increased risk of
flooding. Money would have to be
spent to protect these areas.
Increases in world temperatures will
result in the increased risk of
desertification in semi-arid regions
such as the Sahel. Mr Mali!
Develop more energy efficient homes
and vehicles.
Conserve the remaining rainforests
and encourage the planting of more
trees.
Warmer climates will mean a
decrease in fresh water supplies.
Countries may go to the war over
water.
A more Mediterranean climate may
bring with it a more relaxed approach
to life in the UK.
Food will become more expensive in
the UK as farmers struggle to cope
with the changing climate conditions.
Greenhouse
gases
stop
heat
escaping from the earth; they keep
heat from the earth trapped between
the earth and the atmosphere. This is
called the greenhouse effect.
Install carbon dioxide scrubbers in all
power stations.
Increasingly the weather will become
unpredictable.
There will be increases in insurance
payments to protect against flooding
and damage from freak weather.
A warmer climate will mean an
increase in tropical insects and
diseases.
Native species to the UK will decline,
as they can’t cope with the changing
conditions.
New plants and animals will make
there home in the UK. Dolphins will
be seen off the coast of the UK.
The greenhouse effect helps the
warming of the earth; this is called
global warming.
Countries will provide armed escorts
for their fishing fleets to protect fish
stocks that are declining due to
changing sea temperatures.
A warming climate will mean less
spending on clothes, but there won’t
be naked people, shame!
Introduce a greenhouse gas tax on
industry.
There will be the mass-migration of
people away from areas affected by
natural disaster.
The gulf stream may change
direction or disappear causing the
UK to have a Siberian climate.
Freeze dry carbon dioxide produced
by industry and drop these ice blocks
into the bottom of the sea. This is
expensive and can be dangerous!
Limit cars to one per home!
Fossil fuels are used to provide
energy for industry, homes and our
vehicles.
Struggling farmers will be able to
grow new exotic crops, such as
grapes for wine.
It is estimated that 50% of the world’s
species will be lost with a changing
world climate by 2020.
Large areas of forest are being cut
down, called deforestation. The most
important being the Amazon.
The South East of the UK will suffer
from huge droughts this will result in
water prices raising.
Small pacific islands and low-lying
countries such as Bangladesh and
Holland may disappear with rising
sea levels.

The world’s staple food, rice, also
causes the production of methane.
The farming of cattle releases
methane into the atmosphere. They
fart!
The UK will have to cope with
increasing numbers of refugees.
A decline in the clothing industry with
rising temperatures resulting in a loss
of jobs.
With an increasing world population
more energy is required. The gap
has been filled by using fossil fuels.
