Inconvenient truth: Due 6th August
An increase in the carbon dioxide level
is directly related in an increase in temperature
Increases in
temperature cause the oceans to heat up which causes larger storms to develop
over it
The temperature and
Co2 levels are significantly higher that ever in recordable history
These levels are
predicted to increase experientially to quickly make earth uninhabitable if C02
levels aren’t lowered
Very large storms and
natural disasters are getting more intense and more frequent
Icecaps have
diminished by 40% in 40 years
Arctic is heat up the
quicker than any other region
Seasons are changing;
winters are getting shorter
Just the relatively
recent small increase in summer lengths are creating problems for animals cause
their numbers to diminish and number of parasites to increase to fill the
ecological ‘hole’ that the past animals created when they passed
Antarctica’s iceshelfs
are disappearing rapidly due to the pools of water appearing them
If the iceshelfs on
the west of Antarctic collapsed the sea would raise 20ft, this is true if the
same happened in Greenland
Lots of large ‘pools’
of ice are forming in the ice in Greenland
Just a 20ft rise in
water level would cause very large amounts of countries would just disappear
Population in the large
100 years have increase enormously, which increase the need for more energy
putting more and more pressure on the earth
New technology using
old un-moral, un-environmental habits can cause massive variably consequences
The US is the biggest
contributor to C02 by far
Scientific scepticism
of global warming being fake is very minimal, whereas popular press scepticism
is greater than half, making global warming appear very confusing to most of
the public
In the eye of the US
government they choose to not accept global warming because it would cost to
much money
America is behind the
rest of the world in car petrol economy and their laws do not ban bad fuel
economy because it’ll put to much strain on the manufacturers and will go broke
America can’t see their
cars in Japan because their fuel economies are below that enforced as the
minimum by their laws
Using good fuel
economy cars, more efficient appliances and other fuel saving dramatically
reduce C02 production
US have not signed the
Kyoto agreement
The only thing
stopping change is government
We fixed the ozone by
cutting down on CFC production; global warming like this can be fixed
