GREENHOUSE EFFECT

• Greenhouse gases (vapour, water, carbon dioxide and methane) surround the Earth’s surface and part of the atmosphere = they trap heat naturally.

• Greenhouse gases let in light BUT they prevent heat from escaping…

Greenhouse gases

• They are like the glass walls of a greenhouse

It is called the 'Greenhouse Effect', because it works the same way as a greenhouse. The windows of a greenhouse play the same role as the gases in the atmosphere, keeping some of the heat inside the greenhouse.

Global warming refers to an average increase in the Earth's temperature, which in turn causes changes in climate.

There are several greenhouse gases responsible for warming

Humans produce and emit greenhouse gases

• Burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) releases carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

• Electricity production

• But the most warming is CARBON DIOXIDE

Page 7: Riallineamento delle competenze sessione di recupero I Quadrimestre classe IV ITI Testi di riferimento What is global warming? from Slides Pag 104 The.

• Because there are more and more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, more heat is trapped which makes the Earth warmer. This is known as

GLOBAL WARMING.

problems

• Changing the climate faster (living things may have difficulties to adapt to the new climate)

• In the past this climate change was slower but NOW IT IS FASTER

The effects

Climate change• More extreme weather (storms, more rain or

drier period)

The effects

Ice melting

Page 11: Riallineamento delle competenze sessione di recupero I Quadrimestre classe IV ITI Testi di riferimento What is global warming? from Slides Pag 104 The.

The effect

• Sea levels (Ice melting in the Antarctic and Greenland will flow into the sea)

Plans to make London the greenest city

• To launch / create a Climate Change Agency

• Cut the carbon dioxide emissions• Firms should install renewable energy

products• Great use of solar panels and wind turbines

Page 15: Riallineamento delle competenze sessione di recupero I Quadrimestre classe IV ITI Testi di riferimento What is global warming? from Slides Pag 104 The.

Individual Londoners should

change the way they live, such as

• Build their homes paying attention to the energy saving products

• Use greener energy• Save energy
