CLIMATE CHANGE
Context
What is climate change??? Weather different from climate….. Green house gases :o Causing by human activities.. CO2 effecting us Impacts How can we save our self's
Any change in climate overtime whether due to natural variability or as a result of human activity.
Climate change is caused by factors such as biotic processes, variations in solar radiation received by Earth, plate tectonics, and volcanic eruptions.
Weather different from climate……. Weather can change from hour-to-hour, day-to-day, and
season-to-season. It may rain for an hour and then become sunny and clear. Weather is what we hear about on the television news every night. It includes wind, temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, cloudiness, sunshine and precipitation.
Climate is the average weather for a particular region over a long time period. Climate describes the total of all weather occurring over a long period of years in a given place. This includes average weather conditions, regular weather seasons (winter, spring, summer, and fall), and special weather events (like tornadoes and floods).
Green House Gases.. :oGreen house gases absorb and hold heat in the atmosphere: Carbon dioxide Methane Nitrous oxide Etc..,
Why is climate changing?Human Activities: Burning of fossil fuels , such as coal , oil or gas The increasing demand on electricity. Clearing land , including loggings. The breakdown of food and plants wastes and sewerage Some aspects of farming , such as raising cattle and sheepUsing fertilizers and growing some crops
CO2 Use after Industrial Revolution-on
Impacts: of burning fossil fuels..
On Water resources: The melting of glaciers
can cause floods . Rivers will dry up,
causing drought . More intense rainfall on
a rainy day and dry days in a year.
Impacts…. On sea level : There will be a rise in
sea level. People living on islands
will lose their homes . Whole ecosystem will
be wiped out.Ocean acidification: Decrease in pH value Some animals will
extinct.
Acid Rain: when people burn fossil, sulphur is oxidized and turns
into sulphur dioxide gas (SO2) And cars exhaust gives off NO2 , making our rain
acidic.
Impacts…….On Health : Poor health and death Polluted atmosphere- increased
respiratory illness CC causes over800,000 deaths .{WHO,
2012} 150,000 deaths nearly per yr bcz of air
pollution.
Impacts……..Global Warming: Increase in planet’s
average temperature due to green house gases.
Extreme weather pattern shift in all regions of the world.
Impact…..Risk of human
extinction: Natural food supply shortage. Polluted rivers ,lakes and
oceans with toxic material. Shortage of water supply . Polluted Air – High risk of
airborne disease.
How can we save our self's…..
Green house effect solution…
Green house effect
solution
Volcanic eruptions that release massive
amount of SO2 in atmosphere
Tree removes CO2 through
photosynthesis
Add iron to the upper layer of
the oceans
Reduce , Reuse , Recycle all types of items as much
possible
Preventions….. Limiting our electricity use at
home Use less hot water Turn off the lights, TV , heater ,
etc…, when not needed Use fuel efficient cars. Take public transport.
Methane
Conclusion…You can help tackle climate change by: Reducing , reusing and recycling products that u
buy Walk or take public transport to limit car usage Insulate your home better so that you do not need
to use so much energy to heat it Tell your friends and family about climate change
and what they can do to help.Although each action may be small , if many people
make small changes it will add up to make a big difference.
