From global warming to ice age

The shortest way to global extinction

Page 2: global warming lead us to an new ice age

The current and future consequences of global change

Global climate change has already had observable effects on the environment. Glaciers have shrunk, ice on rivers and lakes is breaking up earlier, plant and animal ranges have shifted and trees are flowering sooner.

Global warming is melting glaciers

Rising global temperatures will

speed the melting of glaciers and

ice caps and cause early ice thaw

on rivers and lakes.

Page 4: global warming lead us to an new ice age

It’s also

causing the melting and break-up

of glaciers, ice sheets and sea ice

along the Antarctic continent, in

the Arctic Ocean and across

Greenland. As a result, icebergs

are being launched into the seas,

where their fate is to drift,

shatter and slowly melt.

Sea-Level Rise

Current rates of sea-level rise are expected to increase as a result both of thermal expansion of the oceans and melting of most mountain glaciers and partial melting of the West Antarctic and Greenland ice caps.

More storms

A storm is any disturbed

state of an environment

or astronomical body's

atmosphere especially

affecting its surface,

and strongly implying

severe weather.

Page 7: global warming lead us to an new ice age

Ocean currents flow for great distances, and together, create the global conveyor belt which plays a dominant role in determining the climate of many of the Earth’s regions.

Page 8: global warming lead us to an new ice age

Global warming could, via a shutdown or slowdown of the thermohaline circulation, trigger localised cooling in the North Atlantic and lead to cooling, or lesser warming, in that region.

Page 9: global warming lead us to an new ice age

The warming pushed Earth into an ice age.

It is a paradox, but global warming

can trigger a cooling trend.

Page 10: global warming lead us to an new ice age

The reason is The Northern Hemisphere

owes its climate to the North Atlantic Current.

Heat from the sun arrives at the equator

and is carried north by the

ocean. But global warming is melting

the polar ice caps and disrupting this flow.

Eventually it will shut down.

And when that occurs.....

there goes our warm climate.

• The imbalance will create storms. The storm's rotation is pulling super-cooled air all the way down from the upper troposphere. The basic rule of storms is they continue until the imbalance that created them is corrected. In this case, we're talking about a global realignment.

When it's over, ice and snow will cover the entire Northern Hemisphere. The ice and snow will reflect sunlight. The Earth's atmosphere will restabilize with an average temperature close to that of the last Ice Age.

It’s will be

8th mass extinction

in earth history

Can we do anything to stop global warming?

YES!
