Global warming
average increase in global temperature.
Comparing Canadian Climates
Canada is part of the UN’s IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change)
Canada entered into multiple international accords (Rio, Kyoto, Copenhagen) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions but has consistently missed targets.
Emissions testing for cars - requires repairs for cars that exceed emission levels for CO2
The Greenhouse Effect
The Earth’s average global temperature would be -18C instead of 15C
Animal Respiration
Volcanoes
Forest Fires
Decaying Organisms
Greenhouse Gases
Mathane
Nitrous Oxide
Deforestation
Positive feedback loop
Factors that Affect Climate
Sun cycles
Latitude
how close or how far it is to the equator
Wind
Heated ground causes air to rise which results in lower air pressure
Elevation
The higher up you are, the colder and drier it will be
Ocean currents
Certain ocean currents have different temperatures
Atmospheric Effects
No atmosphere = extremely cold nights on Earth
Hydrosphere Effects
Water absorbs heat and CO2, it alters the earths temperature
Lithosphere Effects
As continents drift apart, climates become cooler
Biosphere Effects
The Carbon cycle
Reducing Carbon Footprints
Stop eating/ eat less meat
Unplug devices
Plant a garden
Drive less
Eat local/organic
Line dry your clothes
Use energy saving light bulbs
Turn off lights
Do not run water
Do not overuse heat/AC
Recycle
Compost
Reduce airplane travel
Avoid single use plastics
