3. Why HOTTER?
Greenhouse gases- absorbs and emits radiation
Greenhouse effect-Warming that results when solar
radiation is trapped by the atmosphere
The most significant contributor:
BURNING OF FOSSIL FUELS
CO2!!!
4. Effects of Global Warming
Rising sea levels
Drought
Extreme Weather
Increased Rainfall
Acidic Oceans (carbonic acid ->destroy corrals, less oxygen)
Destabilization of Local Climates

6. Cleaner Production
Production with Environmental Protection
Preventive
Aims to minimize waste,
emissions,
and
MAXIMIZE production.
7. Cleaner Production
vs.
Global Warming
Solar power and wind power over coal
Methane to electricity
Planting trees, taking advantage of CO 2
Use of biomass, biodiesel for power
Recycling to reduce CO2
Manual transportation
