Get a thesaurus and give 2 terms that are

closely synonymous with the following:
• Acidification
• Climate change
• Desertification
• Ecological issues I will give you 3 minutes to
look for the words and I will
• Pollution
select randomly to share
• Greenhouse effect their findings.

Topic 1: CLIMATE CHANGE

INTRODUCTION
• The resources of the world we are living
in is slowly becoming strained by human
consumption.
• Climate change is a threat that non one
should ignore as it will create
catastrophic consequence that can wipe
out humanity.
 BOARD

Topic 1: CLIMATE CHANGE

WHAT IS CLIMATE CHANGE?

• Climate change is a global concern. It

is a problem that has to be resolved
before it becomes too late as this
world is the only planet that humans
have as their perfect habitat.
 BOARD

Topic 1: CLIMATE CHANGE

CLIMATE CHANGE

• This change is a global crisis that

denotes change in weather patterns
over a period of time and threatens
the environment and its components
due to extreme conditions.
 Topic 2: CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF CLIMATE BOARD

CHANGE

CAUSES OF CLIMATE CHANGE

• Climate change evolved from the

common concept known before as
“Global Warming”.
• Climate change is a phenomenon
resulting from the pollution that
human continuously produce.
 Topic 2: CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF CLIMATE BOARD

CHANGE

HUMAN ACTIVITY
• Pollution caused by human activities
such as emissions from automobiles and
factories produces greenhouse gases
such as Carbon Dioxide absorbs infrared
lights from the atmosphere for decades
and even hundreds of years.
 Topic 2: CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF CLIMATE BOARD

CHANGE

• Gases carbon dioxide is primarily

produce through the burning of
fossil fuels, solid waste, and wood
products.
• Deforestation and soil degradation
also contribute to the release of
CO2 to the atmosphere.
 Topic 2: CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF CLIMATE BOARD

CHANGE

• Population it is evident that human

population is growing exponentially as it
increases more each year caused by
higher birth rate superseding mortality.
• The rapid increase of population in
many countries contributes much to the
ever increasing population in varied
forms.
 Topic 2: CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF CLIMATE BOARD

CHANGE

EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE

• The Greenhouse Effect is the

cycle by which carbon dioxide,
methane and other gases become
trapped in the atmosphere and
results in the warming of the
planet.
 Topic 2: CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF CLIMATE BOARD

CHANGE

• Ecological Issues – increasing

carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
leads to absorption by the oceans of
these gases.
• This phenomenon leads to the
acidification of the oceans which
damage coral reefs and marine life.
 Topic 2: CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF CLIMATE BOARD

CHANGE

• Rising Water Level and Flooding – warmer

air resulting from the heating of the Earth’s
atmosphere is melting ice in the Arctic as
there is an increased activity aridity in
Arizona.
• While events like flooding and droughts may
seem unrelated or even in opposition to each
other they all boil down to the same cause
severely warmer Earth atmosphere.
 Topic 2: CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF CLIMATE BOARD

CHANGE

• Extreme weather conditions –

climate change has severely affected
weather conditions in all countries
across the globe.
• The increasing atmospheric
temperature is negatively affecting
weather patterns.
 Topic 2: CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF CLIMATE BOARD

CHANGE

• Desertification – climate change is

beginning to degrade and dry out land
in several areas of the globe.
• This has caused famine and food
insecurity as land has become
inhospitable and unable to produce
good harvests.
 Topic 3: Steps to Address the Problems of BOARD

Climate Change

• The effects of climate change are

clearly felt around the planet. Inability
to initiate action plans to mitigate its
impact will possibly result to
devastating and catastrophic events
which will definitely lead to the loss of
millions of lives and properties lost.
 Topic 3: Steps to Address the Problems of BOARD

Climate Change

• Change in government policies

• Use of renewable energy
• New agricultural practices
 ACTIVITY
BOARD

Identify the cause and effect of

the following: (100 points)
• Human activity Note:
You are not allowed
• Pollution to copy-and-paste
someone else’s work.
• Population explosion If your work deemed
• Deforestation as plagiarized, your
paper will
automatically be
invalid. No score will
be given.
