  2. CLIMATE CHANGE

  3. Climate Change Causes • CO2 Emissions from cars, aircraft, powerplants • Methane • Nitrous Oxide from fertilizers, cars with catalytic converters and burning of organic matter • Deforestation

  4. Climate Change Impacts • Sea level rise • Melting of polar ice caps • Change in weather patterns becoming more unpredictable • Ocean acidification • Rise in sea temperatures • Change in the distribution of species

  5. Sea Surface temperatures(Plymouth)

  6. Tectura testudinalis Osilinus lineatus MarClim Project(www.mba.ac.uk/marclim) Over 4 years scientists surveyed rocky shores around the country and compared contemporary data with historical records.
