IN THE NEAR FUTURE, AROUND A HUNDRED MILLION

PEOPLE WILL SEE THE SEA LEVEL RISE BY 3FT

Slide16

 

 

THE MONTANA GLACIER NATIONAL PARK NOW ONLY

HAS ABOUT 30% OF ITS TOTAL GLACIERS FROM 1910.

Slide15

Of the 150 glaciers featured in the Montana Glacier National Park in 1910,

only 25 were able to survive. This is just one of the few glacier parks in

the world that suffers because of the continued increase in the earth’s

near-surface temperature.

 

 

THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE IN THREE LARGE

COUNTRIES HAS INCREASED BY TWO TIMES THE

GLOBAL AVERAGE.

Slide14

A report from the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment that was compiled

from 2000 to 2004 revealed that the average temperature in Russia,

Western Canada and Alaska have all increased by twice

the global average.

 

 

THERE WILL BE AN INCREASE OF 7 TO 23 INCHES IN

SEA LEVELS BY THE END OF THE CENTURY.

Slide13

A report from the IPCC in 2007 revealed that by the time we reach the

end of this century, sea levels would have already risen by 7 to 23 inches

because of global warming.

 

 

THE UNITED STATES IS THE TOP GLOBAL

WARMING POLLUTER IN THE WORLD.

Slide12

It is ironic that despite the United States only making up 5% of the total

population of the world, it has been ranked no. 1 among giant countries

considered to be global warming polluters.

The US contributes 25% of total emissions.

 

 

BY 2050, 15 TO 37% OF OUR PLANT AND ANIMAL

SPECIES COULD BE WIPED OUT.

Slide11

Humans are not the only ones who suffer from global warming.

Even plant and animal species do. It is projected that by the time

we reach 2050, around 15 to 37% of all the existing plant and

animal species today would cease to exist.

 

 

OVER THE PAST CENTURY, THE SEA LEVEL

HAS RISEN BY 10 TO 20 CM.

Slide10

Because of the continued increase of the near-surface temperature

of the earth, polar glaciers have also continued to melt, causing a

significant rise in our sea level. Over the past 100 years, the sea level

is said to have increased by 10 to 20 centimetres.

 

 

400,000 SQUARE MILES OF ARCTIC SEA HAVE

ALREADY MELTED DUE TO GLOBAL WARMING.

Leaving Jakobshavn Isbrae

A study conducted by the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment revealed

that since ancient times, there have been around 400,000 square

miles of the Arctic Sea that have already melted because of the increasing

temperature of the earth. This area is around half the state of Texas.
