Climate Changes
2. 1/4
WHAT IS CLIMATE CHANGE?
oClimate change refers to changes in
global climate and in particular to
changes in meteorological conditions.
3. 2/4 Global Warming
Global warming is the rise in the average
temperature of Earth's atmosphere and
oceans.
The current cycle of global warming is
changing the rhythms of climate that all
living things have come to rely upon.
4. 3/4
Ice Melting…
There are more than five million cubic miles of
ice on Earth, and some scientists say it would
take more than 5,000 years to melt it all. If we
continue adding carbon to the atmosphere, we’ll
very likely create an ice-free planet, with an
average temperature of perhaps 80 degrees
Fahrenheit instead of the current 58.
5. 4/4 Ice Melting
o The melting of once-permanent ice is
already affecting native people, wildlife
and plants. When the Ward Hunt Ice
Shelf splintered, the rare freshwater
lake it enclosed, along with its unique
ecosystem, drained into the ocean.
Polar bears, whales, walrus and seals
are changing their feeding and
migration patterns, making it harder
for native people to hunt them. And
along Arctic coastlines, entire villages
will be uprooted because they're in
danger of being swamped. The native
people of the Arctic view global
warming as a threat to their cultural
identity and their very survival.
6. 1/2 Air Pollution
Air Pollution: Warming temperatures worsen
smog pollution, which triggers off asthma attacks
and permanently damages and reduces the
function of children’s lungs. Higher smog levels
even contribute to premature deaths.
7. 2/2 Air Pollution in Greece
Greeks are seeking cheaper fuels to warm
themselves this year because of ongoing austerity
measures, but the cost-saving measures are
causing dangerous levels of harmful particulates
that could lead to long-term health effects.
8. 1/3
Water Pollution…
The Water Pollution Guide
Water covers over 70% of the Earth’s surface and is a very
important resource for people and the environment. Water
pollution affects drinking water, rivers, lakes and oceans all
over the world. This consequently harms human health and
the natural environment.
9. 2/3
Water pollution
Water pollution is any contamination of water with chemicals
or other foreign substances that are detrimental to human,
plant, or animal health. These pollutants include fertilizers
and pesticides from agricultural runoff; sewage and food
processing waste; lead, mercury, and other heavy metals;
chemical wastes from industrial discharges; and chemical
contamination from hazardous waste sites. Worldwide, nearly
2 billion people drink contaminated water that could be
harmful to their health. Health Studies & Clinical Trials

The system slowly dies .If we don’t do
anything…We Will Be Losers!
