Global Warming and Its Effects….. What is global warming? The gradual increase in the Earth's average temperature due to human activities, primarily the release of greenhouse gases.
Causes of Global Warming • Burning of fossil fuels • Deforestation • Industrial processes • Agricultural practices
Greenhouse Effect Explanation of the greenhouse effect: Certain gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to warming .
Diagram illustrating the greenhouse effect
Rising Temperatures Trends in global temperature rise over the past century Predictions for future temperature increases
Melting Ice Caps and Glaciers Impact of global warming on polar ice caps and glaciers Consequences for sea levels and coastal communities
Extreme Weather Events Increased frequency and intensity of hurricanes, heatwaves, droughts, and floods Examples of recent extreme weather events attributed to global warming
Impact on Ecosystems Disruption of ecosystems due to temperature changes and habitat loss Threats to biodiversity and endangered species
Effects on Human Health Health risks associated with air pollution and heatwaves Spread of diseases due to changing climate patterns
Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for mitigating global warming, such as reducing emissions and transitioning to renewable energy sources Adaptation measures to cope with the impacts of climate change, including building resilient infrastructure and promoting sustainable practices
Conclusion…. Its time to “Call to action for individuals, communities, and governments to address global warming and its effects.” Otherwise it will be too late…..
