WHAT 11/ / 24 TRIGGERS GLOBAL WARMING?  Peras, Princess Joy C. 11/ / 24 BURNING FOSSIL FUELS One of the main causes of global warming is the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, to generate energy. This process produces significant carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into the atmosphere.  Peras, Princess Joy C. 11/ / 24 DEFORESTATION Extensive forest logging or deforestation also contributes to global warming. Forests absorb CO2 from the atmosphere as part of the natural carbon cycle. When forests are cut down, the CO2 previously stored in trees is released into the atmosphere.  Peras, Princess Joy C. 11/ / 24 OTHER ACTIVITIES ⚬ Industrial Processes: Chemical production, cement making, and other industries. ⚬ Agriculture: Livestock produce methane, and fertilizers release nitrous oxide. ⚬ Waste Management: Landfills release methane.  Peras, Princess Joy C. 11/ / 24 Earth’s atmosphere protects us from harmful ultraviolet solar radiation  Peras, Princess Joy C.

Impacts on agriculture, tourism, and other sectors PUBLIC HEALTH Threats to human health.  Peras, Princess Joy C. 11/ / 24 Global Warming's Impact on Human Health Heat-Related Illnesses: Increased risk of heatstroke and dehydration. Air Quality: More air pollution and smog, leading to respiratory problems. Food Security: Changes in rainfall patterns affect crop production. Water Scarcity: Reduced water supply due to droughts and glacial melt.  Peras, Princess Joy C. 11/ / 24 EFFORTS TO ADDRESS GLOBAL WARMING INTERNATIONAL GOVERNMENT AND AGREEMENTS PRIVATE INITIATIVES Paris Agreement and Role of governments and emission reduction companies targets Peras, Princess Joy C. 11/ / 24  SUMMARY burning of fossil fuels, deforestation and other human activities are the "main sources" of greenhouse gases—global warming The effects of yesterday and today, are the fruit of tomorrow  Peras, Princess Joy C. 11/ / 24 LET'S CREATE A BETTER WORLD.
