Issue - Climate change in 10 questions. How to limit temperatures rise and to adapt?
Description
Climate is changing. The impacts of climate change will have knock-on effects on our lives and on the planet: access to energy and water, geo-strategic equilibria, population movements, ecosystem changes, etc. Faced with this situation, two main ways of action: abatement of greenhouse gas emissions to limit as much as possible global warming of the average ambient temperature, and adapting to climate change by anticipating and integrating the coming change in infrastructures, investments and human activities. This booklet explains the greenhouse effect phenomenon, its causes and consequences. By way of explanation, it answers 10 questions dealing with climate change: 1 - Meteorology and climate: what difference? 2 - What is the greenhouse effect? 3 - Why the Earth is warming up? 4 - Are human activities solely responsible? 5 - Is the Earth warming up everywhere? 6 - Will there be more extreme climatic events? 7 - What will be the impacts on oceans? 8 - What will be the impacts on fauna and flora? 9 - What will be the impacts on human beings? 10 - How to deal with climate change?
