Climate Change and Extreme Weather Presented by Jessica Wimbley

 Climate Change: Global warming plus changing sea levels, precipitation, storms and ecosystem effects. What is Climate Change?

 Warming from trapped atmospheric gas. CO 2 : increased levels raising temperature and warming the earth Green House Effect

Warming and Cooling Warms  Carbon Dioxide  Methane  Ozone  Nitrous oxide  Halocarbons  Aerosols Cools  Sea Ice  Tundra  Aerosols  Volcanic eruptions  Forests: both cool and warm

Is climate change giving the ingredients for more severe storms?  Humans pour warming gases into the atmosphere. Extreme Weather?

Melting of the Polar Ice caps Sea levels expected to rise 1-4 feet by 2100 Oceans becoming more acidic Huntington Beach Flooding /global-sea-levels-expected-to-rise- one-to-four-feet-by-2100/ /global-sea-levels-expected-to-rise- one-to-four-feet-by-2100/ Sea Levels & Floods

Precipitation and Droughts Wet lands can become wetter Dry lands even drier Increase in CO 2

Hurricanes Warming temperatures Intensity Katrina Green house gases Increase of occurrence

Is Australia the Future?  More natural disasters  Intensity increasing in storms and floods  Increasing temperatures  Increase in wildfires

Why Don’t We Act?  Uncertainty  Mistrust  Denial  Undervaluing Risks  Lack of Control  Habit

 Question: Are humans speeding up the process of global warming?  Answer: Yes. I believe that with all our pollution we are harming our atmosphere. We constantly add CO2 to the atmosphere which is one of the gases most harmful to the earth. It also adds to the factor of heating the earth up. Its clear in the research that has been done on global warming that we are a problem. Opinion

 Global Warming: A gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect.  Green House Effect: Warming from trapped atmospheric gas Key Terms
