Amount of Carbon
Dioxide in temperature
is rising

Because of our heavy

use of fossil fuels,
the amount of carbon
dioxide in the
atmosphere has been
increasing since the
industrial revolution

Global warming affects:

people
fresh water
oceans - melting glacier
ecosystem
temperature

Glacier

Glaciers
sheet of
that are
all year

are large
ice and snow
found on land
long

Importance of glacier

Keep the Earth cool

Contain most of the
available drinking water
on Earth
Provides a habitat for
many animals

glacier

Rising in temperatures are causing the ice caps to melt

on both Arctic and Antarctic regions
As a result of melting ice caps, sea level is rising

creating a flood risk in coastal area
