Sure is
getting
warmer
There is often confusion

What is Global Warming or
Climate Change?
"Climate change" affects
more than just a change in
the weather, it refers to
seasonal changes over a
long period of time.
Climate change is
the result of global
warming which
refers to rising
global temperatures
.
• The negative effects of climate
change
Climate Change
These climate patterns play a fundamental role in
shaping natural ecosystems, and the human
economies and cultures that depend on them.

• How and Why CO2 becomes trapped and
builds up
Global Warming Is the increase in the earth's average temperature due to
the buildup of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse
gases in the atmosphere from human activities.

How is climate
change and in
turn global
warming
effecting the
Arctic?
According to Earth’s Best
Defense
If this trend continues,
summers in the Arctic could
become ice-free by the end of
the century. If this continues
hundreds of Arctic species
could be wiped out.
Average temperatures
in the Arctic region are
rising twice as fast as
they are elsewhere in
the world.
Final Dialogue
Also by the year 2100
the rise of sea level
by 7 to 13 inches.
Which means the
coast line being
moved back several
miles
But by running
cleaner energy
and burning less
gas everyone can
do there part to
help.
