- Climate change is the changing of weather and climate
- How has climate change been affecting the 21st century world?
- The weather has increased in temperature each year
- Increase of: humidity, sea levels, sea surface temperature, temperature over land
- Decrease in: glaciers, snow coverage, sea ice
- Increase of: humidity, sea levels, sea surface temperature, temperature over land
- The weather has increased in temperature each year
- What can we do to prevent climate change?
- promote energy efficiency (turning off light switches+electric plugs when not needed)
- use biofuels (fuels from plant matter) more than fossil fuels (which release co2+polluters into atmosphere)
- promote energy efficiency (turning off light switches+electric plugs when not needed)
- What will happen if we cannot prevent/cap climate change?
- There will be a rise in temperatures (both sea and land)
- By 2020 the majority of Africa will be under water stress
- hurricanes and storms may become more frequent
- tropical/foreign animals will move North to Britain
- The European countries will lose wealth due to vineyard climate being more suited to British weather
- tropical/foreign animals will move North to Britain
- hurricanes and storms may become more frequent
