Choose an input category (such as coal, bioenergy, population, deforestation, etc.) and adjust it. Carefully observe how that one change affects both graphs and the temperature increase of the earth. Keep in mind that with “business as usual,” the earth’s temperature is predicted to go up by 4.1° Celsius (7.3° Fahrenheit). So if you increase energy efficiency, the earth’s temperature increase will go down. This does not mean that the temperature is decreasing—it is just increasing by less. Take a screenshot that includes the category you changed and the temperature change graph and number. Paste the screenshot into a word processing document. For example, this screenshot shows how the temperature increase went down when we increased energy efficiency: Step 2: Summarize Your Conclusions Write a few sentences about your observations after your screenshot. For our example we might say that when energy efficiency is highly increased, it has a positive overall effect on the earth’s temperature. It could decrease it by 0.4° Fahrenheit. It also reduces how much coal, oil, and gas is used. Step 3: Add Text to Prevention Section Go to Adobe Express and log in to your account. If you are already logged in, click on the Get Adobe Express Free button in the middle of the page, and you’ll be taken to your homepage. Open your Global Warming poster that you started in the lessons by clicking on Your stuff in the left side menu. Add your observations from Step 2 to the Prevention section that you set up earlier. Our example could look something like this: Step 4: Add Text to Causes and Effects Sections Finish the Causes and Effects sections in your poster. Look up information from reputable sources, and try to use a variety of sources such as online articles/websites, printed books, magazines, journals, etc. Include at least one picture per section.
After changing the input category of deforestation to a lower rate, I observed a decrease in the predicted temperature increase of the Earth. By reducing deforestation, we can help mitigate the effects of climate change and lessen the impact on the environment. This change highlights the importance of implementing policies and practices that promote sustainable land use and conservation efforts to combat global warming.
In the Causes section of the poster, I will discuss how deforestation contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and loss of biodiversity. I will include statistics and facts about the effects of deforestation on the environment.
In the Effects section, I will address how deforestation leads to increased carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, which in turn contributes to global warming. I will also discuss the impact of deforestation on wildlife habitats and ecosystems. I will include images of deforested areas and the effects it has on the environment.
