    Global warming is causing the Earth's temperature to rise by 0.7 degrees Celsius since 1950 due to a 2 parts per million increase in carbon dioxide each year. If temperatures continue to increase by 2-3 degrees, it could result in a 3% economic downturn, while a 5-6 degree rise may cause a 10% economic downturn, costing $9 trillion. The solutions discussed are mitigation efforts like carbon markets and taxes as well as alternative fuels and reducing deforestation. Adaptation strategies include identifying appropriate farming practices and more adaptable crop varieties. Computer modeling shows the impacts of human activity on the carbon cycle and increased temperatures over time under different population growth scenarios.

    THE CAUSES AND THE SOLUTIONS

    M. KHAIRUL BAHRI

    Global Warming Intro and Causes


    - Earths temperature heats up -There has been 0.7 degree of temperature rise since 1950; - 2 ppm CO2 increase per year;

    Climate Change- The Cost of Economic

    If temperature rises 2-3 degrees (3% of economic downturn), 5-6 degrees in line with 10% economic downturn. The last is cost 9 trillion dollars [1].

    Stern, Nicholas., 2004. The Economic of Climate Change.

    THE SOLUTIONS
    Mitigation
    Carbon Market; (Incentives for Developing Countries) Carbon Taxes; (Negative Externalities) Reducing Deforestation; (Incentives for Developing

    Countries) Finding Alternative Fuels; (Biofuel, Geothermal, Solar Cells)

    Adaptation
    Finding Pattern of Appropriate Farming; (when to plant,

    what the best crops for each period) Adaptable Crops; (less sensitive to weather)

    THE QUOTATIONS:
    1.THE GREATEST ENEMY OF OUR HUMANKIND IS NOT POVERTY OR FAMINE BUT GLOBAL WARMING; 2. WHEN WOMEN MAY TELL YOU LIES, CLIMATE CHANGE ALWAYS TELLS YOU THE TRUTH

    Computer Modeling - Human impacts on Carbon Cycle The line 1, shows scenarios in which there is no increasing population while the line 2 shows results for increasing population of 1,25%/year.
