Unit 11: Climate Change
Lecture 3
Objectives:E5.4C - Analyze the empirical relationship between the emission of carbon dioxide, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and the average
global temperature over the past 150 years.
E5.4D - Based on evidence of observable changes in recent history and climate change models, explain the consequences of warmer oceans (including the results of increased evaporation, shoreline
and estuarine impacts, oceanic algae growth, and coral bleaching) and changing climatic zones (including the adaptive capacity of the
biosphere).

Rising sea level would destroy weak parts of the sand belt, which is
essential for the protection of lagoons and the low-lying reclaimed lands. The
impacts would be very serious: One third of Egypt's fish catches are made
in the lagoons.
