How global
warming works.

Global warming is caused by the admittance of greenhouse gases
into the atmosphere.
In the year 1896, Swedish Chemist, Svante Arrhenius was the first
to theorize about the possibility of global rising temperatures due
to humanity's contribution. Arrhenius’s theory would form the
backbone of what science would come to call global warming.
Background
Rising water levels, forced migration ( climigration), mass
extinctions, and health risks are some of the biggest threats.
Laws and legislation has been put into place, rolled back, and put
into place again. Each new administration perceives global
warming differently.
• Cooper, Mary H. • Lyons, Christina L.
Cooper's report gave the background of In her report, Lyons covers many of the

Is global warming a threat
to the future of our
planet?
Rising water
levels, due to
global
warming, are
an immediate
concern.
“Global warming is
causing oceans to
rise at alarming
rates, threatening
coastal cities across
the globe with
flooding” (Swope).
Two things are causing this rise.
• Malaria
• Lyme Disease
• Rocky Mountain Spotted
Fever
• Dengue Fever
• And many more
Other, temperature related, health issues include:
"Global warming is not only a
threat to our future health, it already
contributes to more than 150,000
deaths and 5 million illnesses
annually" (West).
Global warming is a huge threat to the future (and present) of
our planet.
