-Effects of global warming

-Climate change and global warming

(relation)

What climate is & what climate-
change mean?
Climate is the pattern of weather, meaning
averages,extremes, timing, spatial distribution of
hot & cold
cloudy & clear
humid & dry
drizzles & downpours
snowfall, snowpack, & snowmelt
zephyrs, blizzards, tornadoes, & typhoons
When climate changes, the patterns change.
What climate change puts at risk?
Climate governs
availability of water
productivity of farms, forests, & fisheries
-prevalence of oppressive heat & humidity
-geography of disease
-damages from storms, floods, droughts, wildfires
property losses from sea-level rise
expenditures on engineered environments
distribution & abundance of species

What is climate warming?
Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now
evident from observations of increases in global
average air and ocean temperatures, widespread
melting of snow and ice, and rising global average sea
level
EFFECT OF GLOBAL WARMING
Good Effect
1. As the temperature increases, the Earth will have a
longer growing season in many areas.
-In general, there will be less freezing weather, and the
increased temperatures and carbon dioxide levels will
allow more plant growth.
-With more plant growth and a longer growing season,
there will be more food for people and livestock.
EFFECT OF GLOBAL WARMING
Good Effect
2. The warmer weather also positively affect
transportation.
-Airplanes, trains, buses and cars will stop having cold-
weather-related delays for snow and ice. (Kristen Flint,
2011)
EFFECT OF GLOBAL WARMING
Bad Effect
1. Global warming will have dramatic impacts on
aquatic life and biodiversity.
-To compound the natural detrimental effects on aquatic
life and biodiversity, human may further disturb the
ecosystems.
-For example, by trying to combat the effects of rising
sea levels, man may work to maintain the coastline.
-In our attempts to protect the coastline habitat, other
species will disappear.

EFFECT OF GLOBAL WARMING
Bad Effects
2. Increased temperature will also affect the food supply
in many places.
-The temperature increases will bring hotter
temperatures in the summer, which may cause plants
to die. (Kristen Flint, 2011)
How climate change brings about
global warming?
When climate change drastically, the processes on the
earth is not going the right way.
For example, the water cycle, when there is disruption,
some of the processes cannot be carried out and water
cannot be formed.

Large scale of
deforestation
Less moisture in the air
It will cause less rain on
the earth (climate change)
It will cause increase in
temperature (global
warming)
