UCSP ♡ Global Warming & Climate Change

Global Warming

• describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the earth’s atmosphere

Greenhouse Effect

• process wherein radiation from the earth’s atmosphere warms its surface

• to a temperature above what it would be in the absence of its atmosphere

Factors that Contribute to the Increase of Greenhouse Gases

• Burning Fossil Fuel

• Animals

• Improper Waste Disposal

Burning of Fossil Fuels

• when oil, gas or coal burns

• carbon contained within it combines with oxygen in the air to deforestation

Farming

• animals produces large amounts of methane

• fertilizers release nitrous oxide

Improper Waste Disposal

• carbon dioxide and methane are released during the decay of food

Effects of Global Warming

• Rise of Sea Level

• Loss of Habitats

• Extreme Weather

• Ocean Acidification

Rise of Sea Level

• since the earth is heating up, ice caps and glaziers starts to melt

Loss of Habitats

• since ice caps and glaziers starts to melt

• species that live in that habitat start to migrate

Extreme Weather

• since the level of the sea rises

• high levels of precipitation would occur

Ocean Acidification

• reduce the heat radiation in the environment

• help lessen the amount of CO²

Steps to Prevent and Ease The Problem of Global Warming

• Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

• Using Less Air Conditioning

• Drive Less

• Use the Off Switch

• Plant Trees

Transnational Migration

• global phenomenon that is mounting in scope, complexity, and impact

Migration

• both a cause and effect of broader development processes

2 Reasons Why People Migrate

• Poverty

• Overpopulation

Poverty

• Immigrants go to other countries

• these people thrive to make money

• send these money to their families

• OFWS

Overpopulation

• people migrate to other countries because they feel that there are no more space for them to live

• high population growth/density
