t2 w3 causes of climate change

climate change intro + causes

what is happening to our climate?

where’s the ice?

WHY is this

happening?

• Define “climate change”

• Explain natural causes of climate change

• Explain human causes of climate change

by the end of the lesson

qns 1Climate Change is the same as Global Warming

True? False?

qns 1Climate Change is the same as Global Warming

True? False?

Climate change = climate patterns changing. It’s not just warming. Includes cooling.

Global warming = increase in temperature ONLY.

qns 2Climate Change is caused by humans only.

True? False?

qns 2Climate Change is caused by humans only.

True? False?

There are natural causes to climate change.

qns 3Climate Change is a recent phenomenon

True? False?

qns 3Climate Change is a recent phenomenon

True? False?

Earth Climate has been changing as a cycle naturally for millions of years.

Temperature of the world has been changing throughout history naturally.

There were times where Earth was cooler than today = ice age

qns 4Since there has been climate change throughout history, there is nothing to worry.

True? False?

qns 4Since there has been climate change throughout history, there is nothing to worry.

True? False?

The recent changes since 1881 is more significant than what happened in history.

Climate Change has been within a small temperature range

Climate Change has been within a small temperature range

But since 1881, the increase is higher than what happened in history

climate change= changes / variations in global climate patterns in the long term


= not just changes in average temperature. Eg: Changes in when the seasons occur is also climate change!

= ENHANCED greenhouse effect

enhanced greenhouse effect

≠ (is not the same as)

global warming


≠ (is not the same as)

global warming

= more greenhouse gas = more greenhouse effect

= more heat trapped

= increase in temperature


global warming


= more heat trapped



global warming


= more heat trapped
