Transcript: Global warming & pollution Global warming is caused by pollution in the land, sea, and air. It is a serious issue, but our efforts have managed to slow the rate of global warming by 0.11 degrees celsius per year. Many efforts are being put into fixing the issue, but currently global warming has only slowed, not stopped. The kyoto protocol, created in 1997 in Japan aims to have lowered our emissions to the level it was in 1990 by this year 2012. Global warming is caused by; car emissions, emissions from factories, the clearing of forests both because it kills trees that produce oxygen and because trees release carbon dioxide when they die, and pollutions affecting the ocean which affects phytoplankton. Our efforts have made progress, but many of the effects are nearly irreversible. The fact is that we pay less attention to the less obvious contributions to global warming, Garbage pollution has a significant contribution to global warming. Landfills for garbage often need to be created by clearing forests, and tons of garbage ends up in the ocean where phytoplankton lives and creates most of the earths oxygen. Here is a short video of Al Gore talking about the impact of global warming Global warming is largely caused by an excess of carbon dioxide and other chemicals that trap heat in the atmosphere, but studies have shown that chemicals from aerosols have started to slow global warming as they almost create a "mirror effect" instead, reflecting light out of the atmosphere creating a cooling effect - but even so, is that really a good thing, what if that escalates as well? Ultimately, there are too many arguements to come to a single conclusion, but one thing is clear; that pollution is bad and we need to clean up our act as it will result in something bad - whether its global warming or not.

Transcript: Avoid, or reuse plastic bottles. Invest in a reusable bottle, and fill it up from a bulk package or fountain. It's cheaper, and plastic bottles typically sit in land fills for years. How Does It Happen? What is it? The most influential factors of global warming … Running your dishwasher only when it's full can save $40 a year, and eliminate 100lbs. of CO waste. Who's Affected? The burning of fossil fuels (such as coal and gasoline) releases corrosive gasses, such as Carbon Dioxide, that lead to the deterioration of a layer of the Earth's atmosphere known as the Ozone layer. This layer of the atmosphere is responsible for shielding the planet from the sun's harmful radiation, and typically only allowing tolerable amount of radiation to enter the atmosphere. Global Warming is the idea that gasses, released from burning fossil fuels, cause a corrosion of the Earth's atmosphere that leads to severe weather changes; extreme temperatures; and over time, a deadly increase in radiation. Global Warming The USCCB has declared that global warming directly relates to the Catholic Social Teaching of stewardship of the Earth, because the Earth is seen as God's creation. They state: "True stewardship requires changes in human actions- both in moral behavior and technical advancement", expressing that the Catholic church does believe, as a whole, that the causes of global warming does propose an issue with their teachings, as the world is both God's creation, and the place future generations will live. Everyone is affected by Global Warming. Global Warming is responsible for the extreme weather experienced in the last sixteen years. It has caused an increase in tornadoes, hurricanes, forest fires, as well as the increased magnitude of these storms. "…but what can I do?" If you're going to leave a room for more than ten seconds, turn the lights off. Carpooling is a simple, cheaper, but effective way to reduce gas fumes, and save gas money. National Geographic (2007) Global Warming as a Social Teaching of the Catholic Church. Studies prove that the past sixty years are responsible for most of global warning, due to the increase in machinery, cars, pollution and factories. These factors lead to a change in the o-zone, the layer of gases protecting life on Earth and filtering toxic chemicals. This change causes more of the sun's harmful rays to stay on the planet, heating it up and changing the overall climate for the worse. Take time to separate recyclables from real trash. Paper, plastic, cardboard, and some other materials can be reused.

Transcript: GLOBAL WARMING Global warming is mainly a man made problem, because of Carbon Dioxide, which is covering the earth in a blanket. Because of this, the Carbon acts as insulation, keeping the Earth warmer, the reason for the temperature increases. The Carbon Dioxide is produced from a number of sources, cars are one - giving off lots of Carbon Dioxide. And another, is burning fossil fuels, such as coal- again giving off co2. These are among the biggest man- made problems contributing global warming. Doing little things in our lives can help stop and reduce our carbon footprint. Obviously 1 person cutting back would not make much of a difference, but if many people each played a part, the World would be a slightly better place because of these actions. Here are things to do: 1. Deforestation 2. Drive Less 3. Buy energy efficient things The effects of Global Warming happen all around the world, depending on the environment. I will show the biggest effects that has happened and will continue to develop into the future, because of global warming. The last point showed that the melting ice was changing the environment around it, and the Polar Bears. Because all of the ice caps melting, the water has got to all go somewhere, and it melts into the sea, causing the water to rise. So much so, that in the predicted future, the melting ice caps around the poles will cause problems for countries around the world, such as the Netherlands, because their flat ground can get flooded easily. Many others might follow with it's land under water. The Ozone Layer is a layer in the stratosphere that protects the Earth from harmful radiation and light, that is produced by the sun. Carbon dioxide (Co2) and other harmful chemicals and gasses that is being produced by global warming is creating holes in the ozone layer, which is exposing the Earth to those harmful things. Because of the Earth's extra heat, (the blanket of Carbon Dioxide) the heat takes effect on environments around the globe. One main one in particular, is the Polar Regions, where there are large amounts of ice. The rising temperature causes this ice to slowly crumble and melt away. With all this ice melting away, the Polar Bear's home is dissapearing with them having to swim further and further out to find ice. They are relying on environments such as the ice caps, and glaciers not to melt, in order to live. Who & what is causing Global Warming? Global warming is a rise in temperature in the Earth's atmosphere. It is caused by Humans burning 'Fossil fuels', which are burned into the atmosphere, creating Carbon Dioxide which in the end damages the earth's atmosphere. The Ozone Layer Global warming has been a big issue recently. Since the beginning of the 20th Century, the average surface temperature of the Earth has increased by about 0.8 degrees Celsius, with this temperature potentialy doubling for the 21st Century. It may not seen a lot to you and me, but these temperatures can create an increase in sea levels and other bad things. The rising Sea levels The Polar Ice Caps As a clue in the name, global warming happens globally. Emmisions that cause global warming happen all around the world where is rises into the atmosphere, and gives different effects on the whole world. The consequences What is global warming? What can we do? Where is Global Warming happening?

Transcript: One Important Evidence For Global Warming Global Warming Is Real? Some People Do Not Believe In Global Warming For Global Warming For Global Warming Global warming is the more average temperature of our planet atmosphere & global warming is important because it causes greenhouse which right now can not of breathe. What I learned about global warming is that that sea levels are rising & that the temperature goes high & the action steps I will take in the future is is to keep fight that global warming is real. Some people don't believe global warming because people say there isn't an agreement with scientists.Another reason why some people don't believe in global warming because some scientist don't believe global warming isn't real since 90s. One important evidence for global warming is that the ocean is getting warmer because it is getting hot since 1969 it is now to 0.302 degrees Fahrenheit. By:Angeles Orozco Per:4 Table:6 What I learned and my opinion about global warming Global Warming is real because the sea levels are rising because each century the sea level rises to 1.6 mm but last century it rose to 6.7 inches.Another reason it is real because glaciers are shrinking because Greenland lost 36 to 60 cubics miles of ice in between 2000 & 2006.

Transcript: How will Global Warming affect our future? Another major contributing factor is pollution from vehicles and air travel. Again leading nations are developing greener fuels and alternative sources of fuel such as solar, thermal heating, bio fuel, electric powered cars etc.. however the developing countries rely heavily on older style vehicles, which due to the massive population, causes huge amounts of pollution. Climate Change is an increasing problem and a reality in the world we live in, and because of our lifestyles. Due to man made CO2 emissions, industrial pollution and greenhouse gases, Climate Change is continually happening. Research indicates that that Climate Change is causing extreme, and more frequent weather patterns including flooding, hurricanes and droughts. Unfortunately, it is the poorest countries who are effected the most. Climate change How can we reduce/stop Global Warming ? Ice caps melting Polluting Power Stations Global warming could have a terrible effect on our future because it may cause rising temperatures on the Earth which would have significant consequences. This would mean we would have to adapt to different environments. Some climates, such as the North Pole (and the area around the Arctic Circle) could see melting of ice caps and rising sea levels, which would cover more of the land and could restrict where people live and farm. Alternatively, already hot climates such as Africa, could see a further increase in temperature which could lead to even worse famine/poverty (inability to grow food and provision of clean drinking water). These 'natural disasters' would in effect be 'man made' . Global warming is the rise in the temperature of the earth’s atmosphere and the result is a rise in sea level. Since the 20th century the Earth’s temperature has increased by about 0.8 °C. Scientists are 90% certain that this is mainly caused by greenhouse gasses which are produced by human activity such as; the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. Global warming can also be caused by humans, for example pollution (both personal and industrial). Global warming also contributes to poverty because the extreme weather changes cause flooding, heatwaves or hurricanes which prevent crops growing and causes homelessness and a lack of food. Global warming can also cause extinction. photo credit Nasa / Goddard Space Flight Center / Reto Stöckli Global warming is happening because of human activities that are harming the earth. A major factor is deforestation, (Every 2 minutes the size of a football field of trees are cut down due to deforestation) deforestation allows large quantities of carbon dioxide into the earths atmosphere. The trees act as a natural filter soaking up CO2 and breathing out oxygen (this is necessary because we breathe in oxygen not carbon dioxide) deforestation also destroys the natural habitats of animals. Global warming is also happening because of the increase in greenhouse gasses, these gases are methane, nitrogen and carbon dioxide and they increase the temperature in the atmosphere and have caused the hole in the ozone layer. There are three seperate elements to reducing Global Warming: As individuals - We can reduce our reliance on cars and fossil fuels (electricity) and invest in shared car schemes, use buses, trains and solar panels. Individually we can also try to purchase goods/food from local sources/suppliers rather than ordering from outside the UK which requires goods to be transported. Business can also use video conference technology rather than rely on air travel. The Government - must invest in cleaner fuel (petrol/bio fuel/wind, solar & tidal farms), use alternative forms of power stations (Nuclear power) and stop relying on fossil fuel power stations. International Co-operation - MED (Major Ergonomically Developed) countries must help the LED nations develop/change to using cleaner fuels, provide funding to help them change to these fuels and alternatives to fossil fuel power stations. It requires all of these in a combined, long term effort, because as individuals, our impact will have a limited effect. Why is it happening? Major industrial Countries are becoming more environmentally friendly BUT developing economies (India, China and Africa) have a huge demand to provide power for their fast growing/developing population and thriving industry. These countries are still building older style, heavily polluting power stations which continue to contribute towards global warming. How do we know it is happening? What is Global Warming ? We know global warming is occurring is because of the melting ice caps, rising sea levels, increase temperatures and the frequency of 'natural disasters' which are related to the changing climate/weather. For example: The area covered by Arctic sea ice in winter has shrunk about 2.7% each decade since 1978. Global sea levels rose between 5 and 9 inches during the 20th century. The North Atlantic has shown increased
