The document discusses the causes and effects of global warming. The main causes are burning fossil fuels, deforestation, overproduction, and increased CO2 levels. Some effects of global warming include rising temperatures, melting glaciers and sea ice, and faster sea level rise. If warming continues, hurricanes and storms are expected to intensify, floods and droughts will increase, fresh water availability will decline, and ecosystems will be disrupted. Reducing fossil fuel use, planting trees, and cutting greenhouse gas emissions are proposed to mitigate global warming impacts.
2. What caused the Glboal Warming?
Burning of fossil fuels
Deforestation
Overproduction
Too much co2
3. How the Global Warming effects on earth?
Temperature increasing in the summer
The heat is melting glaciers and sea ice
Sea level rise became faster
Precipitation (rain and snowfall) has increased across the
globe, on average
4. The Global Warming also caused
Earthquakes
Acid rain
Hurricane
Volcanic explosion
5. If warming continues....
Hurricanes and other storms become stronger
Floods and droughts will become more common
Less fresh water will be available
Some diseases will spread
Ecosystems will change
7. Interview-Jessica Liang
Q:Do you know what is global warming? Can you tell what
is the biggest factor that cause the global warming?
A:Global warming is the raise of global temperature. The
biggest cause of it is the burning of gasoline
Q:How do you think global warming effect on the earth?
A:The global warming cause global temperature to raise
8. Q:Is it possiable to reduce the greenhouse effect?What
can we do to protect our land?
A:We can protect out land by planting more trees
9. Hurricane Sandy: What caused the recent superstorm
and how to prepare for the next one
"Global warming has contributed to abnormally warm
water and higher moisture content in the atmosphere,
which act as the fuel for storms, higher sea levels (we
expect at least a three-foot rise in sea level this century),
and unusual weather patterns that may be attributed to
the rapidly disappearing Arctic sea ice," says Pekar.
"These are ideal conditions for more hurricanes and
superstorms."
