Emissions by Country per Capita for 2011
We can see that results change when emissions are counted by nation or per capita
CURRENT EFFECTS•Ice is melting worldwide•decline of the Adélie penguins on Antarctica•Sea level rise became faster over the last century•Some butterflies, foxes, and alpine plants have moved farther north or to higher, cooler areas.•Precipitation has increased across the globe•Spruce bark beetles have boomed and chewed up 4 million acres of spruce trees
•Sea levels are expected to rise between 7 and 23 inches•Hurricanes and other storms are to become stronger•Species that depend on one another will be out of sync•Floods and droughts will become more common•Less fresh water will be available•Diseases will rapidly spread•Ecosystems will change
FUTURE EFFECTS IF NOT PREVENTED
Effects of Global Warming
A paradise of 1 192 islands• Located in the Indian Ocean• People inhabit 192 islands• Dravidian people that derive from what is
now known as India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal
MaldivesThe sinking paradise
Vulnerable to climate change• 2.4 meters above sea level• sea levels to rise 37 centimeters
Maldives Islands - Global Warming
Should states be held accountable for their contribution to global warming? Is Mohamed Nasheed right to seek help and awareness from states?
Whose carbon dioxide is that?
Mohamed NasheedThe Island President
Based on Joanna Burch Brown’s chapter on compensation and climate change, can you see the Adaptation and Compensation Fund benefiting and improving the situation of the Maldives?
How do we fix the problem?
How do we influence and create global prevention in both action and attitude towards global warming?
The Wildlife, The AnimalsThe innocent species
Melting of Ice Caps Unable to swim or hunt food without ice
Dying because of dangerous swimming conditions or hunger
Melting of Ice Caps Hungry and need ice to live on
Some may die of hunger some may
migrate

The article argues that socially marginalized cities and communities suffer greater environmental injustices.
• According to Grineski et al social factors such as class, family structure, age, access to health care, population density, and school density determine the vulnerability of a group of people in regards to natural disasters.
Investigating Environmental InequitiesClimate Change and Environment Injustice in a Bi-National Context - Grineski et al.
Do you believe that the medians used in Grineski et al.’s article such as the representation of class, are
true to the experiment and its findings?
How do the Grineski et al. and the de Onis readings relate in regards to women’s experiences with global
warming? Is there something missing from their research?

THE THEORY
After a natural disaster, the shock people experience forces them to forget about their past and only worry about their present circumstances and survival. This is often the time that the population is most vulnerable and governments use this opportunity to impose their beliefs and policies.

Activity: SustainabilityWhat are some ways that we can become more sustainable and raise awareness for global warming?
ActivityColor your
pot
Let it dry for a few seconds
Put soil into the flower pot
Water the soil and put seed disk
on top
Put 3mm soil on top of disk and water lightly
Enjoy being environmentall

You can paint your pot whichever way you like in reference to social justice. You may want to draw a polar bear or a penguin. You can paint the Maldive Islands. You can create a poster like picture that raises awareness on issues. You can create a green pot with messages like “save the polar bear”, “save the planet”. Etc. It is up to you, be creative!
If you are not sure how to plant the Herb please refer to the back of the packaging there is detailed information on how to plant the seeds as well as how to maintain them in the future.
During this activity get together with some of your classmates and discuss the benefits or disadvantages of growing your own fruits, herbs, vegetables, etc. in relation to global warming. Be prepared to share this with the class.
