Climate Change and the Marine Environment Sixth Class Scoil An Spioraid Naoimh •Oceans cover 70% of the Earth’s surface •Oceans absorb up to 30% of the CO2 we produce •Ireland has 900 miles of coastline •147 beaches in Ireland were awarded a blue flag in 2016. There are many threats to our oceans. •Over Fishing •Oil Spills •Pollution •Climate Change Climate change is real • The Planet Earth is warming up faster than ever before. • The planet has warmed by an average of 10C in the past century. What is making the earth’s climate warmer? • Burning fossil fuels Cutting down forests Breeding cattle CO2 emissions from cars Increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, means more heat is trapped making the Earth 2 warmer. CO emissions from cars This is known as GLOBAL WARMING. So what is happening to our oceans? Coral bleaching Melting polar ice Rising sea levels Some marine species may lose their homes • Penguins in the Antarctic Polar bears in the Arctic Sea turtles have lost their nesting habitats New species off our shores • Portuguese Man – of – War Shellfish under threat from acidic oceans Storm weather – destroying our coastline and coastal habitats TAKE ACTION NOW • Be more energy aware Walk or cycle to school Reduce, Reuse, Recycle or Upcycle Conserve water Buy local and eat less red meat Plant trees, vegetables and wild flowers Two minute beach clean Be Aware!
