Unit 3 GEOG3: Contemporary Geographical Issues AQA Website: www.aqa.org.uk Individually, create a mind map of what you already know. What is GW? What are the responses to GW? Global Warming What causes GW? What are the effects of GW? Combine ideas in small groups. Global Warming vs Climate Change Global warming refers only to the Earth’s rising surface temperature, while climate change includes warming and the “side effects” of warming—like melting glaciers, heavier rainstorms, or more frequent drought. Definitions Global warming: the increase in Earth’s average surface temperature due to rising levels of greenhouse gases. Climate change: a long-term change in the Earth’s climate, or of a region on Earth. Examine this infographic. http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/bmj.i1781 (Published 30 March 2016) Global Climate Change Health? Development? Urbanisation? Industry? Globalisation? Sustainability? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dph2SVhDFAg&feature=player_embedded Research • What are the projected impacts of climate change on health in the UK according to the Department of Health? • Can you identify any other projected impacts on health within the UK from other sources? https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ department-of-health National Responses to Climate Change 1. What direct links can be identified? 2. What indirect links can be established? 3. Is there any content, in the infographic, which isn’t evidenced in the 2008 Climate Change Act? 4. How relevant is the infographic to developing nations? Groundwater and Climate Change • Current global climate model predictions are based on a range of emissions scenarios developed by the International Panel on Climate Change in the late 1990s. • These scenarios encapsulate different global economic futures and are inherently uncertain. Climate Change and Energy Supplies • Increasing renewables should increase health – is this feasible? Climate Change and Global Effects • Locate the projected effects shown by the NASA on a world map: http://climate.nasa.gov/effects/
