Global Warming

Upper 1
What is Global Warming and Climate Change?

• An increase in average global

temperatures

• Produce by Carbon
Dioxide (CO2)
What is Greenhouse Effect?

• Natural process

• Regulates temperatures
on the Earth
Greenhouse effect elevated
• Overheating of energy

• Energy absorbed in
the Earth
CONSEQUENCES

How serious is the problem ?

SEA LEVEL RISE

• Global sea level rose about

17 centimeters in the last
century.

• The rate in the last decade,

however, is nearly double
that of the last century.
 Increase the Compel
Rising sea
risk of coastal population
levels
flooding displacement
 GLOBAL TEMPERATURE RISE

• Earth has warmed faster

since 1880.

• Earth has experimented 10

of the warmest years in the
past 12 years.
WARMING OCEANS

• The oceans have

absorbed much of
this increased heat.
 UV EXPOSURE

• Skin Cancer  
• an abnormal growth of skin tissues.

• Premature aging
• make the skin thick, wrinkled, and leathery  

• Cataracts 
• No longer have transparent lenses in their eyes

• Glaciers are retreating

almost everywhere
around the world —
including in the Alps,
Himalayas, Andes,
Rockies, Alaska and
Africa.

Alternative Energies
WHAT IS ALTERNATIVE ENERGY?

Alternative energy refers to energy sources that

have no undesired consequences such for example
fossil fuels or nuclear energy.
ALTERNATIVE RESOURCES

Alternative energy sources are

renewable and are thought to
be "free" energy sources.
These include:
• Biomass Energy
• Wind Energy
• Solar Energy
• Geothermal Energy
• Hydroelectric Energy
TECHNOLOGY USED TO GET SOLAR POWER
From an environmental
perspective, solar power is the
best thing going. With solar,
there's no acid rain, no urban
smog, no pollution of any kind.
Think about in a sunny day. In 8
minutes it traveled 93 million miles
of photons. Those photons strike
your Photovoltaics cells module
you can convert that motion to
electricity.
 Societies have taken advantage of wind power for thousands of years.
Today, people are realizing that wind power "is one of the most
promising new energy sources" that can serve as an alternative to fossil
fuel-generated electricity.

WIND ENERGY
HYDROELECTRIC ENERGY
Moving water is a powerful
entity responsible for lighting
entire cities, even countries.
The water's weight caused the
wheel to turn, converting
kinetic energy into mechanical
energy. Niagara Falls , a
natural waterfall, powered the
first hydroelectric plant in
1879.
GEOTHERMAL ENERGY
The source of geothermal power is the
heat contained inside the Earth. Some
geothermal systems are formed when hot
magma near the surface (1,500 to 10,000
meters deep) directly heats
groundwater." The heat generated from
these hot spots flows outward toward the
surface, manifesting as volcanoes,
geysers, and hot springs .
Boosting energy efficiency
The energy used to power, heat, and cool our homes,
businesses, and industries is the single largest contributor
to global warming
Greening transportation
The transportation sector's emissions have
increased at a faster rate than any other
energy-using sector over the past decade
Green Gadgets
Resourses are so essential. The purpose
of Green gadgets is make them
(resourss) longer for future generations
The purpose of these
products are being
more efficient, taking
advantage of
resources.
