2. A THOUGHT……..
• Global warming is a threat, one that will
affect generations to come. The atmosphere
surrounding us that supports life is a God-
given gift. It must be protected.
• There is no debate among any statured
scientists of what is happening. The only
debate is the rate at which it is happening.
3. We are feeling WARM
because of exceeding
Loading Target of 49 MT.
Nothing to do with
GLOBAL WARNING..
12. Global Warming
Average increase in the Earth's temperature
causes changes in the climate.
A warmer Earth may lead to changes in:
Rainfall Patterns.
Rise in sea-level.
Wide range of impacts on plants.
Wildlife.
Humans.
13. Global Warming
Earth has warmed about 1ºF over the past
hundred years.
The Earth could be getting warmer on its own’
but many of the world's leading scientists think
that the people are helping to make the warmer.

15. GLOBAL WARMING
is the increase of the
Earth’s average
surface temperature
due to a build-up of
greenhouse gases in
the atmosphere.
CLIMATE CHANGE
is a broader term that
refers to long-term
changes in climate,
including average
temperature and
precipitation.

17. Greenhouse
EffectThe glass walls and roof of a greenhouse allow
most of the sun’s light in but do not allow most
of the heat to escape. This causes the inner
temperature to be warmer than outside.
Carbon-Dioxide(CO2), and
water-vapour(H2O) acts like a
greenhouse gas, trapping heat
and making the Earth warmer.
21. Mars has a very thin atmosphere with a weak
Greenhouse effect. It’s surface is much colder than
Earth’s. In fact it’s frozen.
22. Venus has an intense Greenhouse effect. It’s
atmosphere is thick with Carbon-Dioxide and other
gases that trap heat. Thus, Venus’ temperature is much
higher than Earth’s—Hot enough to melt Lead.
32. 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.

Greenhouse Effect
109. AFTERTHOUGHT….
Mother Nature is healthy,
And has beauty and is wealthy
But with Global Warming in the way,
It will take Mother Nature’s beauty away
It will become hot,
Like a steaming pot
Leaves will become brown,
Then everybody will frown
We need coolness,
Not hotness
But also happiness

Scientists agree that the burning of fossil fuels is causing global warming. Since these fuels are burned for energy, and everyone uses energy, everyone can help stop global warming just by using less energy or energy from renewable sources!
