How Global Warming Works?How Global Warming Works?

Fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas)

Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Greenhouse gases

CAUSES OF GLOBAL

WARMING…

Pollution from coal, natural gas, and oil

CO2 from

airplanes &

vehicles.

POPULATION POPULATION INCREASEINCREASE

DeforestationDeforestation

Increased CO 2

results in

The Sun’s energy passes through the car’s windshield.

This energy (heat) is trapped inside the car and cannot pass back through the windshield, causing the inside of the car to warm up

Example of the Greenhouse Effect

Global warming

causes…

Melting of glaciers

Polar Bear Extinction…

Warmer waters and more hurricanes…

Increased probability and intensity of droughts and heat waves

Increased Temperature

Melting Polar ice caps.
