A brief presentation about global warming presented as part of environmental management studies

1. Global WarminG

2. What is Global WarminG
Global warming relates to the increase in the
average temperature of the Earth’s surface
that has been observed in the resent years,
and it is projected to continue. It is debated
as to whether this is natural occurrence or
whether human activity has impacted or
accelerated it…

3. What is Green house effect
• Global warming is when the earth heats up (the temperature rises). It happens when
greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxide, and methane) trap
heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere, which increases the
temperature.
• The greenhouse effect makes the earth appropriate for people to live on. Without it,
the earth would be freezing, or on the other hand it would be burning hot.

4. What are greenhouse gases?
Greenhouse gases are gases in the earth’sGreenhouse gases are gases in the earth’s
atmosphere that collect heat and light from theatmosphere that collect heat and light from the
sun. With too many greenhouse gases in the air,sun. With too many greenhouse gases in the air,
the earth’s atmosphere will trap too much heatthe earth’s atmosphere will trap too much heat
and the earth will get too hot. As a result people,and the earth will get too hot. As a result people,
animals, and plants would die because the heatanimals, and plants would die because the heat
would be too strongwould be too strong..

5. What is global Warming doing to
the environment?
• Global warming is affecting many parts of the world.
• Many things that are happening to the ocean are linked to
global warming.
• The pollution that causes global warming is linked to acid
rain. Acid rain gradually destroys almost everything it
touches. Global warming is also causing many more fires
that wipe out whole forests.
