 Global Warming: CAUSE AND
EFFECTS
CAUSE EFFECTS

• If there is no reduce • Warmer water and

of Global Warming, Stronger hurricanes
Scientists predict that • Spread of disease-
the temperature is malaria
going to go up. • Economic
consequences
• Polar ice caps
 Stronger hurricanes
• Climate change

• Rising oceans temperatures

• Didn’t cause hurricane Katrina

 Malaria
• Passed on by a bite of a female anopheles
mosquito

• 1 of the 4 Plasmodium kinds of protozoa

• May cause kidney failure, comma, and death

• Fever symptoms including chills, headaches,

and depression
 Greenhouse Gases
• Greenhouse gases are gasses in an
atmosphere.
• They absorb and emit radiation.
• Some of the greenhouse gases are
methane, water vapor, and carbon
dioxide.
• Burning fossil fuels maybe causing that.
 Water vapor
• Doesn’t come from human activities
• Can produce from lakes rivers and oceans
• Generated by evaporation
 Carbon dioxide
• Human activities have a big impact on
carbon dioxide
• It circulates in the air
• Is used by plants during photosynthesis
• It comes from the burning of fossils fuels
 Methane
• Comes from certain animals, mainly cows
• Natural gas
• Methane is difficult to transfer its source
• Live plants also emit small amounts of
methane
 Top Things You Could Do To
Reduce Global Warming
• Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
• Use less heat and Air Conditioning
• Change a light bulb
• Drive less and drive smart
• Use less hot water
• Buy Energy-Efficient Products
• Use the “Off “ Switch
• Plant a tree
• Encourage others to conserve
Proof of Global Warming
 Conclusion

• Global warming is important because it is

affecting life on Earth.
