• Long-term rise in the average temperature of the Earth's

• Warming and the loss of the ozone layer became
increasingly notable in 1988. • Steam engineer Callendar records 147 weather stations world wide • Discovers that global temperatures risen 0.3°C over 50 years. • The early 1980s marked a sharp increase in global temperatures. Reasons and effects of Global Warming • As greenhouse gas concentrations rise, so does the global surface temperature. • More severe storms. • Increased drought. • A warming, rising ocean. • Loss of species. • Not enough food. • More health risks. • Poverty and displacement.
