Atmospheric gases allow sunshine to pass through but absorb heat that is radiated back from the surface of the earth. This acts as a blanket keeping heat.

The Greenhouse Effect The sun emits solar radiation which the Earth absorbs (UV rays). The Earth emits its own energy (heat waves called infrared rays)

Climate Change: What can we do? Developed by: Susan Silva Dennis Sobolik Kathy Conway Alan Journet

Wildfires Climate change contributes to increasing wildfires What is causing climate change?

Incoming Visible light Transformed to heat. Some heat is absorbed by atmospheric gases Remainder escapes into space Climate Change Basics - I WARNING: Not drawn to scale Re-radiated out What causes warming? Atmosphere Then what?

If atmospheric gas density increases, more heat is retained by this ‘thermal blanket’ of gases Warming Less escapes into space What are these gases? Climate Change Basics - II Atmosphere

Warming Carbon dioxide = CO 2 Methane = Natural Gas Oxides of Nitrogen Which is the most serious contributor? From where do these gases come? Climate Change Basics - III Atmosphere

Sources of Most Warming Gases COAL NATURAL GASOIL / GASOLINE For what do we use these fuels?

Rogue Valley: Use of These Fuels Private cars/trucks Public Transit Transportation 32% Energy 24% Materials = Stuff 44% Energy to make stuff Energy to transport stuff here Fossil Fuels for energy production Natural gas for heating Energy used in homes & local businesses

Review! Reducing our fuel use for materials, transportation, and energy… Reduces our use of coal, oil, natural gas…. Reduces our emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, oxides of nitrogen… Reduces our warming of the atmosphere… Reduces wildfire risk

ENERGY USE TRANSPORTATION STUFF What can YOU do to reduce your gas emissions and reduce forest fires? NOW IT’S YOUR TURN Fossil Fuels for energy production Natural gas for heating Energy used in homes & local businesses Private cars/trucks Public Transit Local Freight Energy to make stuff Energy to transport stuff here
