The Human Impact of Climate Change SESSION 1 What is climate change? WHAT DO WE KNOW? WEATHER OR CLIMATE? WHAT IS THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT? Most heat escapes into outer space and cools the Earth. Infra-red light (I.R.) Some heat is trapped by greenhouse gases. Sun’s rays warm the Earth WHY IS THE CLIMATE GETTING WARMER? THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT IN A JAR THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT IN A JAR Time I.R. Temp. Temp. No jar Glass jar SESSION 2 What and who are responsible? WHAT IS RESPONSIBLE? THE LIFE OF AN ALUMINIUM CAN THE JOURNEY OF A LOAF OF BREAD WHAT IS A CARBON FOOTPRINT?

EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE WATER HOMES FOOD FARMERS FISHING BEACHES CLIMATE CHANGE CONSEQUENCES Habitats damaged and destroyed. Flooding of coastal and lowlying areas. Children aren’t able to go to school. Sea levels rise. Increased risk of extreme weather events. Children miss out on an education. Homes, schools and crops damaged and destroyed.
