Climate Change

Kacper Kaleta

What is it ?

Climate change is when there is a change in global or regional climate


patterns it is most possibly caused be the release of harmful gases into
the atmosphere.

It changed numerous times over history for example during the Ice Age
large parts of Europe where covered by ice

Climate Change in History

River Thames in London used to be completely frozen in winter the ice


was so thick that loaded carriages could be driven over it and people
even held fairs.

Even the seas used to freeze completely in 1658 the Swedish Army
marched through the frozen sea to surprise the Danes

The cold weather in the past lead to several famines in countries such
as France and Norway.

Iceland was once cut off form the rest of the world because the sea
around it froze. Nobody could get in or out.

Climate Change

The world in continuously heating up if such ways continue in the future


following problems can come up:

The level of sea will rise which can lead up to covering some of islands
and part of continents

Droughts: especially in countries near the equator the rainfall will


decrease meaning that people will be lacking crops to eat

Glaciers are melting down in all the mountains

Deforestation

Deforestation is the chopping down of trees.

The causes are logging down of trees, commercial farming and


subsistence farming this being the main cause.

Rainforests are mainly affected, the people use the land as farmland for
crops to eat and sell.

Chopping down a forest with an axe takes a longer time so it is easier


just to burn the forest down. This is releasing lots greenhouse gases.

Climate Change

Climate change is also causing lot of natural disasters such as floods


and tornados.

Even Ireland suffered of floods because of the Climate changed they


also appeared in countries such as USA and Germany

The huge fires in USA are also caused by the climate change due to the
lack of rain.

How to care for enviornment

Use renewable energy such as wind, solar and wave instead of gas etc.

Dont use the plane as much because it leaves harmful gases in the air

Change light bulbs to LEDs, unplug all electronics when they are not
used

Recycle your home's waste

Purchase an car working on electricity
