Slide 3: These gases, commonly referred to as greenhouse gases, prevent heat from escaping the Earth, thus heating it up. This causes the polar ice caps to melt and sea levels to rise. The heat also depletes the soil of nutrients, making it impossible to support vegetation. Slide 4: global warming and shall continue to increase Unpredictable weather is also a direct result of Unpredictable weather shall continue to increase unless something is done to prevent this… Slide 21: All the pictures that you have just seen have been a direct result of Global Warming… Slide 22: The average global temperature has increased 1.5 degrees in the last century, and is predicted to rise at an even higher rate… Slide 23: If this increase in temperature is not alleviated then the pictures that you just saw will soon become everyday occurrences. But… : But… Slide 25: There’s Still Hope Slide 26: Efforts are being made around the world to counteract the warming climate Thanks to the research and dedication of many countries, alternative energies are emerging as a prominent source of power… : Thanks to the research and dedication of many countries, alternative energies are emerging as a prominent source of power… Slide 28: Wind Energy Slide 29: Nuclear Power Slide 30: Hydroelectricity Slide 31: In recent years global production of alternative energies has increased by nearly ten percent, But that’s not enough… We can no longer rely solely on the leaders in this world, as one community TOGETHER we can make the change : We can no longer rely solely on the leaders in this world, as one community TOGETHER we can make the change TOGETHER Taking simple steps to reduce your personal carbon emissions is all it requires to fuel the change… : Taking simple steps to reduce your personal carbon emissions is all it requires to fuel the change… Increase fuel efficiency : Increase fuel efficiency Increase energy efficiency in your home : Increase energy efficiency in your home Plant a tree… : Plant a tree… And of course…. : And of course….
