CLIMATE CHANGE

What is climate change?

• Climate change on Earth that has a positive impact on life

• changes in industrial processes

• Changes observed in Earth’s climate since the early 20th century are primarily driven by human activities, particularly fossil fuel burning, which increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas levels in Earth’s atmosphere, raising Earth’s average surface temperature.

The Greenhouse Effect

• a) is the declining average global temperature on Earth

• b) is the increase in the average global temperature on Earth

• c) is the change of the Earth's magnetic field

Select which of the following is a greenhouse gas?

• Water vapor

• Carbon dioxide (CO2)

• Methane (CH4)

• All of the above

Global warming

• Disruption of the concentration of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide (CO2), leads to the retention of more solar energy on Earth. This phenomenon causes an increase in the average annual temperature on Earth.

• CO2 has decreased in the atmosphere over the past ten years

• When gases in our atmosphere escape from our planet

Climate change is real and caused by human activities

• True

• False

Select the main sources of greenhouse gases:

• fossil fuel combustion

• waste disposal

• eat less meat & dairy

• deforestation

• livestock farming

Select some direct indicators of climate change

• rising sea levels, increasing the number of forest fires

• better traffic connections

• more extreme weather like droughts, floods, hurricanes and

  other extreme weather conditions

• loss of biodiversity and ecosystem

• increase of fish stocks

What was agreed in the "Paris Agreement" in 2015?

• Protection of industrial production

• Keep global temperature rise well below the 2 ℃ pre-industrial level and follow the path of the 1.5 enja warming limit

• Limit sea level rise to 6 feet above current level

What can you do to to reduce the harmful effects

on our planet’s climate?

• Use energy efficient light bulbs

• Eat more meat

• Walking, biking, use public transport

• Reduce our carbon footprint

How it's called set of policy initiatives EU with the overarching aim of making Europe climate neutral in 2050.?

• New Green Plan

• EU Green growth

• European Green Deal
