Global Warming Notes

Global Warming cont.

• Effects:
• rain changing patterns
• less food due to crop failure
• Increased heat and drought
• Intensified storms due to increased heat
• Remember more heat means more energy!
• The average storm intensity will increase in future generations

Storms

• Stronger storms = economic damage
• less sustainable coastal environment
• GLobal Warming doesn't cause storms, but it definitely makes them stronger
• Property Damages:
• power goes out
• water goes bad

Carbon

• Since 1950, carbon dioxide levels has been going off the charts
• carbon has to "bank" before effects actually occur
• Even if there were to be no more carbon released into the sky, global warming would continue until it hits a "plateau" point (aka. Flatlines)
• Feedback loop: something that accelerates/decelerates a warming trend

Reminders/FYI

• Current government is censoring Global Warming
• Just because global warming is occurring doesn't mean everyone will experience heat..think about Canada, they will actually experience stronger winters...
• loss of water in an area where population is exploding means future inflation of water prices
• If prices increase the the wealthy live and the poor die ----- BAD EQUITY
• The crossing point on a graph that represents the too little resources to sustain the population is called the "point of unsustainability"

In Conclusion

• STOP GLOBAL WARMING OR DIE
