 Global Warming Definition
Global warming
is a gradual increase in the
earth’s temperature generally
due to the greenhouse effect
caused by increased levels of
carbon dioxide, CFCs, and other
pollutants.
 Example of the
Greenhouse Effect
The Sun’s energy
passes through the
car’s windshield.

This energy (heat)

is trapped inside
the car and cannot
pass back through
the windshield,
causing the inside
of the car to warm
up.
How Global Warming Works

Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas)

 What is the difference
between “global warming”
and “climate change”?
 Difference
GLOBAL WARMING CLIMATE CHANGE
is the increase of the is a broader term that
Earth’s average refers to long-term
surface temperature changes in climate,
due to a build-up of including average
greenhouse gases in temperature.

 What’s being done now to
reduce our emissions?

Wind Power Solar Power Fuel-Efficiency

What can you do to help
solve the problem?
 Simple Things To Do
Turn off your computer or the TV
when you’re not using it.

Take shorter showers. Heating water uses energy.

Keep rooms cool by closing the blinds, shades, or

curtains.

Turn off the lights when you leave a room.

Use compact fluorescent bulbs.

 Simple Things To Do
Dress lightly when it’s hot instead of turning up
the air conditioning. Or use a fan.
Dress warmly when it’s cold instead of turning
up the heat.

Offer to help your parents keep the air filters on

your AC and furnace clean.

Walk short distances instead of asking for a

ride in the car.

Plant a tree. Recycle.
