Global warming

1.Greenhouse

atmospheric gasses (like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and CFCs) warm upland form a blanket in the atmosphere preventing heat to escape from earth's atmosphere

2.Greenhouse effect

major cause of global warming. Results from industrialization

3.Global warming

occurs when CO2 and other air pollutants and greenhouse gases collect in the atmosphere and absorb sunlight and solar radiation that have bounced off the earth's surface. This radiation traps the heat and causes the planet to get hotter instead of escaping into space. (climate change)

4.Causes of global warming

large amount of CO2 in the atmosphere (caused by burning fossil fuels), electricity (burning fossil fuels), transportation, factories, power stations, methane from cattle, and deforestation

5.Global warming and extreme weather

higher temperatures, hotter heat waves, more frequent droughts, heavier rainfall, more powerful hurricanes

6.Prevent global warming

reduce dependance on fossil fuels, use clean energy, clean transportation /public transport, climate change conferences, education

7.Other effects of global warming

melting glaciers, early snowmelt, severe droughts rising sea levels (coastal flooding), disruption of habitats (extinction), droughts
