Facts About Global Warmingand

Climate Change

Is Climate Change real or a scam?

Climate change is a long-term change in the earth’s climate.especially a change due to an increase in the average atmospheric temperature (Global warming).Global warming is a gradual increase in the overall temperature, attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants.

What are the impactsof Climate Change?

During the Twentieth Century sea levels rose 7 inches – eroding marine ecosystems and shorelines and threatening human habitats.

Strength and frequency of hurricanes and storm surges – damage from storms like Katrina (2006) and Sandy (2012).

Flooding and droughts.

Adverse impact on water supplies, agricultural production, and human health.

Did you know?

Cities generate heat into the atmosphere, which causes an increased use of a/c, generating more GHG, creating more heat in the atmosphere.

Warmer temperatures cause retention of moisture in the air which can mean heavier snowfall in winter.

These heavier episodes of precipitation can be followed by severe drought as most of the moisture is drained from the atmosphere.

If Climate Change is real, and we do nothing about it, what will the world look like?If the polar ice caps melt, we’d be living in an ice-free world similar to 34 million years ago when alligators swam in arctic swamps.London, the Netherlands and Denmark would be underwater; Bangladesh would disappear, as would the land now populated by 600 million Chinese.The maps we’re familiar with now would be radically changed.
