This is a story told from the point of view of
some students.They had to talk about some meteo
phenomena, about climate change.
4
Once upon a time GOD created something beautiful
5
And He called it the Earth

• But then he created the man

6
The earth was a beautiful planet until the man
wanted to have better living conditions. So he
started to cut the woods
7
The forest disappeared every dayand many animals
were killed
8
But one day the nature decided to revenge on
people. And so many meteo phenomena were born.

• FIRST IT WAS THE TORNADO. The first known radar
  observations of a confirmed tornado were made at
  the Illinois State Water Survey on the 9th of
  April 1953.
• Now lets have a look about how a tornado
  looks like and when it appeared for the first
  time

An F4 intensity tornado touched down near
Temperance, moved east through Erie, and then
traveled 44 minutes as a waterspout over Lake
Erie, one of the longest waterspout tracks on
record. Another tornado touched down in
southwestern Washtenaw County and tracked several
miles before dissipating just south of the Ann
Arbor- Ypsilanti area. Yet another tornado
touched down just northeast of Brighton in
Livingston County and moved northeast across GM
Proving Grounds into the Milford area. In all, 8
tornadoes were reported in Michigan that day
resulting in 125 deaths and 925 injuries.
11
Then it was the Tsunami But what is a tsunami?
12
A tsunami is a series of waves created when a
body of water, such as an ocean, is rapidly
displaced. Earthquakes, mass movements above or
below water, some volcanic eruptions and other
underwater explosions, landslides, underwater
earthquakes, large asteroid impacts and testing
with nuclear weapons at sea all have the
potential to generate a tsunami. The effects of a
tsunami can be devastating due to the immense
volumes of water and energy involved. Since
meteorites are small, they will not generate a
tsunami.
13
It is also important to add that the global
warming is a problem of this century because of
the people who want better living conditions.
The factories pollute the air and everything will
be destroyed. But lets take
a look at the definition of the global warming.
14



Global warming is the increase in the average
measured temperature of the Earth's near-surface
air and oceans since the mid-twentieth century,
and its projected continuation But what about
the effects of global warming?
15
Effects of global warming

• As a conclusion climate change is likely to lead
  to some irreversible effects.
• 
  There is medium
  confidence that approximately 20- 30 of species
  assessed so far are likely to be at increased
  risk of extinction if increases in global average
  warming exceed 1.5-2.5C (relative to 1980-1999).
  As global average temperature increase exceeds
  about 3.5C,model projections suggest significant
  extinctions (40-70 of species assessed) around
  the globe.

It is important for us to live in a safe world,
so, we have the power to save this planet and
to stop such disasters.
