Global Warming Global warming - the gradual increase in
the average temperature of Earth's atmosphere and the position
of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Is that the average temperature on Earth has risen by zero point seven degrees Celsius since the Industrial Revolution.
Слайд 4
Effects of global warming In addition to sea level
rise, global temperature rise will also lead to changes
in the amount and distribution of precipitation. This can result in more frequent natural disasters: floods, droughts, hurricanes and others. Warming should, in all probability, increase the frequency and magnitude of such phenomena.

2005. Cracked earth during drought

Hurricane Ivan on Grenada September 7, 2004
Слайд 7
Causes of global warming Climate system change as a
result of natural internal processes or in response to
external stimuli (anthropogenic and non-anthropogenic). The reasons for such climate change remain unclear, but among the main external influences - change the Earth's orbit, solar activity, volcanic emissions and the greenhouse effect.
Слайд 8
Emissions of greenhouse gases This is a process in
which the absorption and emission of infrared radiation heats
the atmospheric gas atmosphere and the surface.
Слайд 9
Carbon emissions into the atmosphere from burning fossil
fuels from 1800 to 2007, in billions of tons.

since 1970. Thinning in orange and red colors, thickening
- in blue.
Слайд 11
Prevention of global warming Broad consensus among climate scientists
regarding the continued growth in global temperatures has led
to the fact that a number of states, corporations and individuals trying to prevent global warming or to adapt to it. To date, the main international agreement on combating global warming is the Kyoto Protocol.
Слайд 12
The Kyoto Protocol Kyoto Protocol - an international agreement
adopted in Kyoto (Japan) in addition to the UN
Framework Convention on Climate Change. It commits developed countries and countries with economies in transition to reduce or stabilize greenhouse gas emissions.
