What is Global Warming?

• The most currently discussed issue in the world
  is global warming. This could lead to the
  extinction of man and many land animals. Global
  Warming could melt the two poles, therefore the
  earths waters would rise causing many islands to
  be flooded, these include Fiji, Vanuatu and the
  Solomon Islands.

5
Causes of Global Warming

• There are many things that contribute to the
  Greenhouse Effect resulting in Global Warming.
  These causes include
• Things that, when burnt let off polluting fumes
  e.g. coal, rubber etc.
• Wasted energy production.
• CFC and methane gases.
• Garbage that isnt disposed properly.

6
The Green House Effect

• The Green House Effect is the natural heater
  for the Earth, without it the Earth would be 18
  Degrees colder. The O-zone is made up of CH4
  (Methane), CO2 (Carbo Dioxide), N2 (Nitrogen), O2
  (Oxygen). Many of these gasses slowly eat away
  the O-zone layer letting in the suns radiation.

7
Which countries produce the most bad gases and
where do they come from

• CFC gases 20
• Deforestation 10
• Agriculture 10
• Energy Production 60
• Japan, Germany and the U.S.A. are the worst
  countries because they have so many cars.

8
Ozone Layer

• The Ozone Layer is the most affected by Global
  Warming. It gets eaten away by Greenhouse gases
  letting the suns U.V.A and U.V.B rays into our
  atmosphere. These rays are slowly causing climate
  change, melting of the ice caps and even skin
  cancer in humans.

9
Effects Global Warming has on the World

• Major climatical changes resulting in farmland
  turning to desert and crops dying.
• More U.V.A and U.V.B rays because theres a hole
  in the Ozone layer.

10
Effects Global Warming has on Antarctica

• South Pole melting resulting in global seas
  rising by 64.5 metres.
• More plant life growing in Antarctica due to the
  climate getting warmer.

11
Conclusion

• Unfortunately we have taken advantage of our
  technology and built many things that contribute
  to the Greenhouse Effect and in turn Global
  Warming. We should all give our time to help the
  problem. Even though it is never going to be 100
  repaired we should still help.

10 Point Action Plan

• Turn off appliances that are run by electricity
  when you arent using them.
• Dont burn things that let off bad fumes into the
  atmosphere.
• Dispose of rubbish properly.
• Follow the three Rs Re-use, Reduce, Re-cycle.
• Try to car pool when going to the same place.
• Try planting more trees to increase the level of
  oxygen.
• Buy in bulk, so the factories dont produce more
  packaging than necessary.
• Make compost bins in your garden so the rubbish
  in rubbish dumps is kept to a minimum.
• Convert your cars liquid petrol tank to gas
  because gas gives off less pollution.
• Limit usage of fossil fuels.
