2. Greenhouse Effect- The heating of Earth’s surface and atmosphere from solar radiation being absorbed and emitted by the atmosphere, mainly by water vapor and carbon dioxide. Climate Change- A long-term change in the Earth’s climate, especially a change due to an increase in the average atmosphere temperatures Global Warming- The increase in average temperatures to Earth and the atmosphere due in part to increased carbon dioxide levels What is the Greenhouse Effect, Climate Change, and Global Warming?
3. How are Greenhouse Effect, Climate Change, and Global Warming related? Relation- Deal with temperatures Earth’s surface How Earth surface heats Long-term affects of atmosphere
4. Human activity is indicated as one of the major causes for G.W. Carbon dioxide such as burning coal, oil or gas Earth’s average temperature change Difference between weather and climate Primary Causes of Global Warming
5. World’s temperature is going to increase Ocean water will eat up land and rise Deserts has more frequent droughts and are expanding Frequent tropical storms and hurricanes Wildlife and species that don’t survive in war habitats Possible Consequences if We don’t Work to Stop Global Warming
6. Increase of storms=cost money to fix up items that are very expensive Taxes In the future, the energy cost will increase Global Warming Impacting Economy
7. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Use less heat and air conditioner Drive less and drive smart Use the “OFF” switch Several Way to Fight Global Warming
8. Humans caused it to happen Naturally happened Political issue Basic Arguments Against Global Warming
9. Austin: it’s getting more serious and people need to start making changes Felicia: people should try to reduce pollution and go green Evan: it’s a natural cycle but with people inserting pollution its not helping Personal Opinions about Global Warming
