Climate Change and Global Warming

What are the effects of global warming?

• Rising sea levels, melting ice caps and glaciers, more frequent and severe weather events, changes in ecosystems and biodiversity, and negative impacts on human health and economies.

• Improved agricultural productivity and increased crop yields due to longer growing seasons.

• Decreased temperatures and colder climates, leading to an ice age.

• Decreased rainfall and droughts, increased desertification, and water scarcity.

What are mitigation strategies for climate change?

• Reducing greenhouse gas emissions, transitioning to renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, promoting sustainable agriculture and forestry practices, and implementing carbon capture and storage technologies.

• Disregarding carbon capture and storage technologies, relying on non-renewable energy sources, promoting deforestation, ignoring sustainable practices

• Increasing greenhouse gas emissions, relying on fossil fuels, promoting deforestation, ignoring sustainable practices

• Investing in coal and oil industries, using non-renewable energy sources, neglecting energy efficiency, supporting unsustainable agriculture practices
