Climate Change

Climate ChangeClimate Change

Climate change refers to any significant change in measures of climate (such as temperature, precipitation or wind) lasting for an extended period (decades or longer).

Recent Climate ChangeRecent Climate ChangeSince the Industrial Revolution (around 1750), human activities have substantially added to the amount of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The burning of fossil fuels and biomass (living matter such as vegetation) has also resulted in emissions of aerosols that absorb and emit heat, and reflect light.

Future Climate ChangeFuture Climate Change Since the Industrial Revolution (around

Biodiversity is the variety of species,their genetic make-up, and thenatural communities in which theyoccur.

Biodiversity

Why is it ?Why is it ?

•The air we breathe is a product of photosynthesis by green plants.

•Insects, worms, bacteria and other tiny organisms break down wastes and aid in the decomposition of dead plants and animals to enrich soils.

•More than 90 percent of the calories consumed by people worldwide are produced from 80 plant species.

•Almost 30 percent of medicines are developed from plants and animals, and many more are derived from these sources.

Oil and other fossil fuel depletion (peak oil, etc) Reliance on foreign sources of energy Geopolitics (such as supporting dictatorships, rising

terrorism, “stability” of nations that supply energy) Energy needs of poorer countries, and demands

from advancing developing countries such as China and India
