Climate Change
Climate change is one of the biggest crises facing
humanity.
Climate change means the change in the climatic
activities & in atmospheric levels.
CAUSES OF CLIMATE CHANGE
• Changes in suns energy and slow changes in earth’s orbit.
• Changes in ocean circulation.
• Human activities – burning fossil fuels, deforestation, building
developments in cities.
• Greenhouse gases – excess carbon dioxide from burning fuels and
clearing forest.
• Global warming
Noticing Period of
Climate Change

In 1896, a seminal paper by Swedish

scientist Svante Arrhenius first
predicted that changes in
atmospheric carbon dioxide levels
could substantially alter the surface
temperature through the greenhouse
effect.
In 1938, Guy Callendar connected
carbon dioxide increases in Earth's
atmosphere to global warming.
 IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGES
• Intense drought, storm
• Rising sea levels, melting glaciers
• Natural calamities – earthquake, cyclones, flood
• Hazardous diseases – cancer from radiations, incurable allergies.
• Wildfires
• Acid rain
Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide,
which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids.
 Conclusion
• Helps people and nature adapt to a changing climate
• Advances policies to fight climate change- ( COP Paris by UNFCCC )
• Combats deforestation
• Introduce automobiles with new fuel system which reduces 90% pollution
• Engages with businesses to reduce carbon emissions
• Protecting forests
• Make others aware about the problem
• Invest in renewable energies
