Group 2 - Examining the impacts of global warming:

1. Research: As a group, conduct research on the impacts of global warming. Explore scientific literature, reputable websites, and other reliable sources to gather information on the consequences of global warming on ecosystems, weather patterns, sea levels, and biodiversity.

2. Group Discussion: Engage in group discussions to share and discuss the findings from your research. Encourage each member to contribute their perspectives and insights on the observed and potential impacts of global warming. Consider the implications for ecosystems, communities, and the future well-being of our planet.

3. Collaborative Analysis: Collaboratively analyze the information gathered and identify the significant impacts of global warming. Examine the connections between rising temperatures and phenomena such as melting ice caps, sea-level rise, extreme weather events, and biodiversity loss.

4. Presentation Preparation: Prepare a presentation summarizing the key findings and concepts related to the impacts of global warming. Organize the information in a clear and coherent manner, ensuring that the presentation effectively communicates the consequences of global warming to the intended audience.

5. Presentation and Reflection: Deliver the presentation to the rest of the class or an assigned audience. After the presentation, engage in a reflection session as a group to discuss the effectiveness of your communication in conveying the impacts of global warming. Evaluate the clarity, cohesiveness, and impact of your presentation.

By following this process, each group will have the opportunity to delve into their specific focus area, deepen their understanding, collaborate effectively, and develop compelling presentations to educate others about their respective aspects of global warming.

Key Takeaway:

Earth's global average surface temperature in 2020 statistically tied with 2016 as the hottest year on record, continuing a long-term warming trend due to human activities.

This graph shows the change in global surface temperature compared to the long-term average from 1951 to 1980. The year 2020 statistically tied with 2016 for the hottest year on record since recordkeeping began in 1880 (source: NASA/GISS). NASA's analyses generally match independent analyses prepared by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and other institutions.

The animation on the right shows the change in global surface temperatures. Dark blue shows areas cooler than average. Dark red shows areas warmer than average. Short-term variations are smoothed out using a 5-year running average to make trends more visible in this map.

The data shown are the latest available, updated annually.

Global Temperature Increase

In recent years, the world has experienced a significant issue: temperatures are rising globally. Scientists agree that our planet is getting warmer at an alarming rate. This phenomenon, is known as global warming or climate change, and poses many challenges and threats to our environment, ecosystems, and societies.

One of the main causes of this temperature rise is the increase in greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere. Human activities, like burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests, and industrial processes, have greatly increased the levels of these gases, especially carbon dioxide (CO2). These gases act like a blanket. They trap heat from the sun and cause the Earth's surface to gradually become hotter.

The consequences of this temperature increase are widespread. Ice caps and glaciers are melting quickly, causing higher sea levels. This creates a risk for coastal communities for flooding and displacement. Also, rising temperatures contribute to more often severe weather events, like heatwaves, droughts, hurricanes, and wildfires. These events have a great impact on people and the natural world.

The increase in global temperatures also destabilize delicate ecological systems. It affects wildlife, changes migration patterns of animals, and threatens survival of many plant and animal species. Coral reefs, for example, are particularly weak to temperature changes, which can result in coral bleaching and the loss of these important ecosystems.

To face global temperature increase, we need immediate and collective action. Countries must promise to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, transition to renewable energy sources, promote energy efficiency, and adopt sustainable land practices for using land. Individuals can also help by conserving energy, creating less waste, and supporting environmentally friendly initiatives in their daily lives.

With acknowledging the challenges of global warming and taking steps to motigate its effects, we can work for a more sustainable future. Preserving the balance of our planet is not only an environmental responsibility but also essential for the wellness and survival of present and future generations. Together, we can make a positive impact and combat the global temperature increase for the benefit of all.
