Introduction

• Climate change is an enormous challenge facing


humankind today.
1

• Undoubtedly,it is the single largest environmental


threat facing the planet,and we need to act fast to
2 mitigate it.

• There is much that need to be done and much that


can be done to halt the catastrophic impacts of
3 cliamte change.
What is Climate.

•
Various
The Climate of Climate is the elements of
a given place is average
the average climate such as
weather of a rainfall,
weather
experienced in
region or area • temperature
that place over over a period • humidity
a perios of of time.(35 • Air pressure
time. years). • winds
• clouds and
• sunshine
What is Climate Change.
Climate Change is natural phenomenon and has been
occurring since the earth came into being.

Climate change is a change in the average weather of


a given area or region.

This includes temperature,wind patterns, and


precipitation. This change is referred to in a global
sense and concerns the earth as a whole.
The Earth's Climate in the Past

Some natural factors that have changed


the Earth's climate in the past
Changes in the Earth’s orbit
Changes in the sun’s energy
Photosynthesis
Volcanic Eruptions
Present and Past Climate Comparision
