Global Warming and Climate
Change
• Burning coal, oil and natural gas releases
carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere.
On average, this may warm the earth and
change the climate in other ways.
Greenhouse Gasses
• A greenhouse gas inventory is an
accounting of the amount of greenhouse
gases emitted to or removed from the
atmosphere over a specific period of time.
Greenhouse Effect
• The Goldilocks Principle can be summed
up neatly as "Venus is too hot, Mars is too
cold, and Earth is just right."
World Climate History
• Anyone familiar with the history of
European people and how is has been
shaped by climate—a story that has been
well known for some 30 or 40.
World Carbon Dioxide History
• enervations before the arrival of the
Europeans, the Gabrielinos had identified
and lived in the best sites for human
occupation.
Projected Climate Change due to
Global Warming
• With climate change, with warming and an
intense hydrological cycle, the water cycle,
we do in fact expect more extremes, more
flooding and more heat waves.
North Pole Changes
• The shift is likely a normal oscillation of the
Earth's magnetic field, Stoner said, and not the
beginning of a flip-flop of the north and south
magnetic poles, a phenomenon that last
occurred 780,000 years ago.
Glaciers of the World
• The first photographs made for World
View of Global Warming, ten years ago,
were of glaciers in Antarctica and Peru.
Greenland Changes
• Climate change and global warming are hot topics of
discussion all over the world, and these discussions are
particularly relevant in relation to Greenland as the ice
sheet is often mentioned in connection with the debates
on increases in global temperature.
Ocean Level Changes
• The range reflects uncertainty about
global temperature projections and how
rapidly ice sheets will melt or slide into the
ocean in response to the warmer
temperatures.
Animals facing extinction due to
Climate Change
• Birds with ranges in Scotland or in
mountain regions will be wiped out - such
as the snow bunting, which today survives
only on the Cairngorm plateau. The
Scottish crossbill, the only bird species
unique to the British Isles, is also likely to
perish.
Can we stop global warming?
• Global Warming is a dramatically urgent and serious
problem. We
• don't need to wait for governments to find a solution for
this
• problem: each individual can bring an important help
adopting a
