It should not be confused It should not be confused with climate change…with climate change…
What is global warming?What is global warming?
GLOBAL WARMINGis the increase of the
Earth’s average surface temperature due to a build-up of greenhouse gases in
the atmosphere.
CLIMATE CHANGEis a broader term that refers to long-
term changes in climate, including
average temperature & precipitation.

How Global Warming Works?How Global Warming Works?
Fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas)
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Greenhouse gases
CAUSES OF GLOBAL
WARMING…
Pollution from coal, natural gas, and oil
CO2 from
airplanes &
vehicles.
POPULATION POPULATION INCREASEINCREASE
DeforestationDeforestation
Increased CO 2
results in
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
Example of the Greenhouse Effect
Global warming
causes…
Melting of glaciers
Polar Bear Extinction…
Warmer waters and more hurricanes…
Increased probability and intensity of droughts and heat waves
Increased Temperature
Melting Polar ice caps.
