What is the carbon cycle?
It is a complex cycle that passes carbon between plants,
animals and soil.
Found nearly everywhere on Earth.
Photosynthesis: process in which green plants make food
in sunlight using carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight

Greenhouse Gases:
Primary Greenhouse Gases: water vapor, ozone, carbon
dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide
Human Causes of Greenhouse Gases: burning of fossil
fuels, deforestation, agriculture, and industrialization
Greenhouse Effect: the process in which Earths
atmosphere traps solar radiation

Effects on Plants & Ecosystems
Plants will migrate to new habitats
Plants will not be able to bloom, increase/decrease in temp.
Hot spells, Droughts, Stronger Storms, Hurricanes, Flooding,
Tropical Storms, Lightening storms
CO2 Fertilizer
Rising Sea Levels
Changes in Crop Yields Forest Pests
Warmer oceans

Effect on Animals
Affect the life cycles of animals.
Lack of food, reduce populations.
Longer migrations to find food. Shorter seasons to mate and reproduce
Heat makes the immune system of animals less effective,
making it harder for then to fight off an illness.
Global warming has allowed viruses and bacteria to
thrive in different places

Living on a Warming Planet
Populations live near rivers of the coast.
Rising seas would flood low-lying islands
States along the U.S. coast are also in danger of beingflooded.
Tropical diseases are transmitted by mosquitoes,
mosquitoes live in warm places
Plants are sensitive to changes in weather and soilconditions.

Solution to the Problem:
June 1992, 108 world leaders, 178 delegates from
countries including U.S.A, Great Britain, & Australia met
in Rio de Janeiro to discuss environmental issues
Issues like climate change, pollution, and forest
protection
Known as the United Nations Conference on
Environment and Development(UNCED) Kyoto Protocal: agreement to cut down greenhouse gas
emissions

Protection & Conservation:
Built dikes, and storm barriers
Carbon Sequestration: carbon dioxide stored naturally
rather than allowing it to escape onto the atmosphere
Planting trees, conserve wildlife, natural resources, safe
forests
Energy-saving light bulbs, recycling methane, and
environmentally-friendly fuel cells

How can you help???
Recycle, Compost
Stop junk mail from coming to your house.
Use rechargeable batteries Replace normal light bulbs with energy-efficient
fluorescent bulbs.
Turn air conditioners down.
Lower temperature of hot water heater.
Shop for products that are environmentally friendly.
