Effects Of Global Warming

Date 1

What is climate change ?

Intro

Altering the world’s weather patterns and climate by increasing the global average temperature.

What is Greenhouse Emissions ?

Climate change is caused by the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Greenhouse emissions

Gasses associated with Greenhouse Emissions

Gasses associated

  • Carbon dioxide
  • Methane
  • Nitrous oxide

Carbon dioxide is responsible for about 77 percent of the warming Dearden, P., & Mitchell, B. (2016)

Scientific Evidence

Starting in 1850, the global average of the combined land and ocean surface water temperature increased by 0.85*C.

Introduction

History of Environmental concerns

Environmental concerns have peaked throughout human history, from the early settlers to the present generation. The conflicts and revolutions that took place in the last few centuries greatly affected the environment and brought many drastic changes.

World War I and II

World Wars

The results of these wars had a great impact one the environment. Both the flora and fauna were affected.

Atom bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki destroyed the entire place, a large variety of plants and animals were disappeared, hundreds of fires causing air pollution and water pollution, no accessible drinking water. There is an immense amount of radiation still existing in that place and the health conditions of people living there are also painful.

SHIPWRECKS

Shipwrecks during the war polluted the water bodies. Leakage of toxins destroyed the underwater ecosystem.

Use of Chemicals

  • Use of Hazardous Gases
  • Chemicals like Hydrogen cynade

Industrial Revolution

It took place in the early 19th century in Great Britain for the transition of new manufacturing processes in Europe and the United States. This transition is going from the hand production methods to mechanized factory system, leads enormous changes in the lifestyle of people. Population increase pave way for the rise in industrialization, as a result huge factories are constructed to meet the demand, there rises Consumerism.

DEFORESTATION

Graph

Who are causing this

Who are the

main players

behind this

Deforestation

Millions of acres of forest are cleared every year, whether to harvest wood for making lumber or paper, to clear land for farming and ranching or to make way for residential and industrial areas.

Forests store enormous amounts of carbon

essentially removing it from the air and preventing it from being absorbed into the atmosphere

deforestation decreases biodiversity, which can cause ripple effects throughout entire ecosystems, putting whole species at risk

Tree cover loss experienced in the tropics in 2017; that’s equivalent to losing 40 football fields’ worth of trees every minute for a whole year.

RELEASING C02

Fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas have become an integral part of our life

BURNING OF

FOSSIL

FUELS

Traveling

Co2 is released

TRANSPORTATION

RELEASING HIGH AMOUNT OF CO2

Cars

(Personal Vehicles)

THE CARS DESTROYED EACH YEAR IS 30 MILLION

THE 80% FUEL USED IS PETROLEUM

OVER 80 MILLION CARS ARE PRODUCES

EACH YEAR

burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil has increased the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). This happens because the coal or oil burning process combines carbon with oxygen in the air to make CO2

TO PRODUCE ELECTRICITY

Livestock Production

Clearing trees to make room for large areas adequate for the care and feeding of animals for food

These animals create a huge amount of waste, which produces methane, a very harmful greenhouse gas

FARMING

WEATHER CHANGE

  • Due to global warming the days and nights are becoming hotter than earlier.
  • Extreme weather can result in heat waves,floods,droughts,wildfires and so on.
  • Ecosystem collapse and habitat destruction.
  • According to NOAA State of Climate Report, 2017 was the third hottest year since mid-1800s.

  • There will be crop failure and farmland loss.
  • Flood and droughts due to climate change can cause damage to crops and can reduce the production.
  • Increase usage of pesticides.
  • Sometimes can be beneficial.

CASE OF CANADA

  • They cause a reduce in the amount of fishing and fish stocks.
  • Harm to marine organisms like shrimps,oysters or corals
  • Population of fish will face a high extinction due to some negative impacts.

FISHERIES

  • As temperature increases, the freshwater supply to different areas by glaciers will decrease.
  • Make more rain to fall rather than snow.
  • The quality of groundwater and soil will be reduced and cause water pollution.
  • At this hot time, humans will be more depended on water for cooling and hydration.

FRESHWATER

  • When the ocean became warmer, the level of sea rises.
  • Flooding can be faced as a result of local sea rise.
  • In US, flooding due to sea level has been calculated as 300 to 900 percent as comparing 50 years ago.
  • These are major threats to human life, infrastructure, plant life, animal life and so on.

SEA LEVEL RISE

  • Deaths due to diarrheal and infectious diseases.
  • Health of people will be worstly affected by unclean air, infectious virus ,unprotected polluted environment.
  • Migration of people from different areas to get rid of these disasters will occur in large amount.

HUMAN LIFE

  • For example, Asia and Pacific is the region which is constantly under pressure due to natural disasters.

CONSEQUENCES OF THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT

Human activities are driving the temperature of our earth to rise, this process is known as global warming, which was at its peak back during the industrial revolution in the early 1830s.

According to the IPCC. ‘‘Climate changes over the next century are likely to affect millions of people’’.

Climate change has already impacted ecosystems and humans as

Consequences !

Global warming and climate change

Rising sea levels

Acid rain

Worsening Health

Disruption of water cycle

Changing forest and natural areas

challenges to agriculture and food supplies

Effects on oceanic climate

Effects on the ozone layer

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

Addressing climate change requires action from everyone across all nations. Governments, businesses and individuals need to take significant steps to reduce emissions by using resources more efficiently.

Reducing emissions of the greenhouse gases, such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone is not the only solution to lower greenhouse effects

Ways to lower greenhouse effects in the future

  • Use renewable energy: Most renewable energy sources produce little to no global warming emissions. The global warming emissions associated with renewable energy are minimal.

  • Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Buying products with minimal packaging will help to reduce waste. By recycling half of your household waste, you can save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide annually.

  • Use public transport and other non-polluting means, such as electric vehicles or bicycles.

  • Promote ecological awareness among citizens and different administrations.

  • Reduce the consumption of meat: Animal agriculture and eating meat are the biggest causes of global warming. Becoming vegan or cutting down on your own personal meat consumption could be the most effective action you can do to reduce greenhouse emissions yourself.
