What is that about global warming?

Let's investigate a little

 INTRODUCTION
Global warming is a
problem that is affecting
our country and the entire
world.
 OBJETIVE

Analyze the problem of global warming.

 How does it work

Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Fossil fuels
(coal, gasoline, natural gas)
 What is the difference
between "global warming"
and "climate change"?
 Difference
GLOBAL WARMING CLIMATE CHANGE
is the increase in is a very broad
the average term that refers
temperature of to changes in
the Earth due to climate during
the effect of large periods of
greenhouse time
gases.
 Global warming effects
Sea Level Rise Temperature increase

Deterioration of Habitats and Changes in the supply of

Damage to their Species drinking water
 What is the proof that
Global Warming is taking
place?
 Portage Glacier

 Colorado River

Why is Global Warming
happening?
Use of Fossil Fuels

Pollution due to coal,

gasoline,
Pollution natural gas
from coal,
natural gas, and oil
When did Global
Warming begin?
Overall atmospheric concentration of CO2
How is Global Warming
Measured?
Measurements of
Atmospheric CO2
 Global
Warming: Take
the reins
What can you do to help solve
this problem?
 Simple things to do
Turn off the computer or TV when you do not use it.

Take short showers. Heating water consumes energy.

Keep cool the rooms by lowering the blinds or running the

curtains.

Turn off the lights when you leave the room.

Use energy saving light bulbs.

 CONCLUSION
 The majority of human beings do not
contribute to take care of our planet.

 The global average temperature increases

each day more and more, and will
continue to increase rapidly if we do not do
our part.
 Thank you very much to all!
