Instructions:
1. Divide the Class into 2-4 groups depending on the number of

students.
2. Each group must have a leader to guide the group.
3. The group will guess the pictures shown in the projector screen.
1 student per group will represent to guess 1 picture.
4. Each group will get 1 point once the pictures are guessed
correctly.

Global Warming
• Long-term rise in the average temperature of
the Earth's climate system
• Aspect of current climate change shown

by temperature measurements and by multiple
effects of the warming
• Human-caused increase in global surface

temperatures and its projected continuation
"It is extremely likely that ‘human influence’ has been
the dominant cause of the observed warming since
the mid-20th century.“
-Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)

Fifth Assessment Report
What made the Humans garner
the most influence on Global
Warming?
The largest human influence has been the emission
of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane,
and nitrous oxide.
Effects of Global
Warming
• Rising Sea Levels
• Regional changes in precipitation
• More frequent extreme weather events:
a.) Heat waves and Cold waves
b.) Expansion of deserts
Sea-level Rise
Between 1900 and 2016, the sea level rose by 16–
21 cm (6.3–8.3 in).
Between 1993 and 2018, thermal expansion of the

oceans contributed 42% to sea level rise;
• Melting of temperate glaciers (21%)

• Greenland (15%); and
• Antarctica, (8%)
Florida, USA
Regional Changes in Precipitation
The 2014 National Climate Assessment’s Climate
Science Supplement explains that in general:
• Wet areas are getting wetter

• Dry areas are getting drier
*Consistent with an overall intensification of the

hydrological cycle in response to global warming
The predicted impacts of altered precipitation
patterns include:
• Floods and droughts will become more frequent and

more severe
• Wildfires are expected to become stronger and more
common
• Changing ecological processes and species
distributions in some aquatic habitats
The predicted impacts of altered precipitation
patterns include:
• Loss of breeding or feeding territories for wetland-

dependent species
• Declining crop and livestock productivity, due to

increased droughts, floods and severe weather
events
Changes in precipitation patterns may also
compound other climate change impacts, such as:
• Greater flood risk
• Shifting habitats and seasons, which may especially

effect migrating species.
Extreme Weather Events
• includes unexpected, unusual, unpredictable, severe or
unseasonal weather; weather at the extremes of the historical
distribution—the range that has been seen in the past.
• these are based on a location's recorded weather history.
*In recent years some extreme weather events have been

attributed to human-induced global warming, with studies
indicating an increasing threat from extreme weather in the
future.
Hurricanes, Typhoons, and Cyclones
Tornado
2 Types of
Extreme Events
Heatwaves
• These are periods of abnormally high temperatures
and heat index.
• Are not visible as other forms of severe weather are and
they are one of the less known forms of extreme
weather.
• Can damage populations and crops due to
potential dehydration or hyperthermia, heat
cramps, heat expansion and heat stroke.
*Definitions of a heatwave vary because of the variation of

temperatures in different geographic locations.
Cold Waves
• It is a weather phenomenon that is distinguished by a
cooling of the air.
• Rapid fall in temperature within a 24-hour period
requiring substantially increased protection to
agriculture, industry, commerce, and social activities.
• In the United States, a cold spell is defined as the national
average high temperature dropping below 20 °F (−7 °C).
*Definitions of a coldwave also vary because of the

variation of temperatures in different geographic locations.
Expansion of Deserts
• Also known as “Desertification”.
• A type of land degradation in which a relatively dry area
of land becomes a desert, typically losing its bodies of
water as well as vegetation and wildlife.
• A significant global ecological and environmental
problem. (Socio-economic and Political conditions).
• It is caused by a variety of factors:
a. Climate change
b. Overexploitation of soil (Human activity)
