FIRST INPUT
From carbon emission to climate.
Keeling’s curve. The CO2 trend in the
last 150 years.
What is the IPCC?
• The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC) is the international body for
evaluate the science related to climate
change.
(IPCC)
IPCC Fifth Assessment Synthesis
Report
• Key Messages :
• ➜ Human influence on the climate system is
clear
(IPCC)
IPCC Fifth Assessment Synthesis
Report
• Key Messages
• ➜ The more we destroy our climate, the more
we risk the serious effects.
IPCC Fifth Assessment Synthesis
Report
• Key Messages
• ➜ We have the ways to limit climate change
and build a more prosperous future
Humans are changing the climate
• Main cause of warming by IPCC is that people
are the dominant cause of warming since the
mid-20th century.
(IPCC)
Temperatures continue to rise
• Each of the past 3 decades has been
successively warmer than the preceding
decades since 1850
(IPCC)
Oceans absorb most of the heat
• More than 90% of the energy accumulating in
the climate system between 1971 and 2010 has
accumulated in the ocean
• Land temperatures remain at historic highs while
ocean temperatures continue to climb
Globally averaged sea level change
(IPCC)
1993, the first year of satellite altimetry data
Globally averaged greenhouse gas
concetrations
Atmospheric concentrations of the
greenhouse gases :
•carbon dioxide (CO2, green),
•methane (CH4, orange)
•nitrous oxide (N2O, red)
(IPCC)
Global anthropogenic C02 emissions
(IPCC)
Sources of emisions
• Energy production remains the primary driver
of GHG emissions 35%
(IPCC)
Observed Changes (IPCC)
• Human influence on the climate system is
confirmed
• Recent anthropogenic emissions of
greenhouse gases are the highest in history.
• Recent climate changes have had widespread
impacts on human and natural systems.
Observed Changes (IPPC)
Observations since 1950 shows that:
• Atmosphere and ocean have warmed
• Snow and ice amounts have reduced
• Sea level has risen
Some of the changes in extreme
weather and climate events observed
since about 1950 have been linked to
human influence

Exercise
Try to recreate the climate trend in Italian territory in
the last year also in the past years (like 50 years ago)
and 150 years ago.
Compare the results in pairs
(look for your partner)
Match two couples and make groups of 4 discuss your views and reach class common idea
about the climate changes
Present your result in front of class ( 3-4slides PPT)
