•It is caused by increasing concentrations of
greenhouse gases produced by human activities such
as deforestation and burning fossil fuels.
Problems caused by global warming
•An increase in global temperature will cause sea
levels to rise and will change the amount and pattern
of precipitation, and a probable expansion of
subtropical deserts.
•Other likely effects of the warming include more
frequent occurrence of extreme weather events
including heat waves, droughts and heavy rainfall
events, species extinctions due to shifting temperature
regimes, and changes in crop yields.
Global Warming
•Most countries are parties to the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change
(UNFCCC),whose ultimate objective is to prevent
"dangerous" anthropogenic (i.e., human-induced)
climate change.
•Parties to the UNFCCC have adopted a range of policies
designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to assist in
adaptation to global warming.
