- 3. What is Climate Change? o Climate change is the result of long-term significant changes in our weather patterns. o In understanding global climate changes it is necessary to combine many disciplines, including oceanography, meteorology, geomorphology, geology and paleoclimatology. o Climate change can be natural or caused by changes people have made to the land or atmosphere.
- 4. Causes of Climate Interruption Natural Causes • Continental Drift • Volcanoes • The Earth's Tilt • Ocean Currents Continental DriftVolcanoes Ocean Current Earth’s Tilt
- 5. Causes of Climate Interruption • Major cause of climate change. • 97% of climate scientists agree that climate-warming trends over the past century are very likely due to human activities. • Deforestation, Burning of Fossil Fuels, Air Pollution are the main results of global warming caused by humans which eventually changes the climate. Human Causes

- 13. Facts...
- 14. Facts… Urban air pollution causes about 1.2 million deaths every year. Rising temperatures and variable precipitation are likely to decrease the production of staple foods in many of the poorest regions – by up to 50% by 2020 in some African countries.This will increase the prevalence of malnutrition, which currently cause 3.5 million deaths every year.
- 15. Facts… Studies suggest that climate change could expose an additional 2 billion people to dengue transmission by the 2080 the modest warming that has occurred since the 1970s was already causing over 140 000 excess deaths annually by the year 2004

Editor's Notes

- Tropospheric Ozone, or Ground Level ozone, or Bad Ozone-This gas is found in the troposphere, the layer that forms the immediate atmosphere. Bad Ozone does not exist naturally. Human actions (global warming) cause chemical reactions between oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) in presence of sunlight which produces it.
- This is the effective poster (left side) designed by Fabrica on behalf of the World Health Organization for deployment at the Conference on Climate Change.

- Reduce- use of “Green-House Gases”, Polythenes. Reuse - reuse products like papers, bottles, bags, clothes etc. Recycle- reprocesses & reproduction of products.
- Buying from local shops will reduce the use of fuel & keep the environment pollution free. Cycling not only helps environment but also helps to keep human healthy & reduces the time in traffic
