Climate Change from the Perspective of Group D Presenter: 温靖怡 14th ISCS, Zhuhai, China July 2017

Contents A B C Introduction of our group Effects of climate change on China C Disasters in the future due to climate change

Introduction of our group A

During our group meetings, we raise many questions: Effect of aerosol on climate change Effect of climate change on China The challenges human beings are likely to meet in the future due to climate change ……

Effects of climate change on China B

Effect of climate change on China Benefits: Cold areas in high latitude warmer more kinds of plant can grow Precipitation over north-western China increases and the climate tends to become wetter Inner Mongolia’s vegetation coverage increase thus slowing desertification Short-term increase in temperature increase crops production China develop resource-conserving and environment-friendly devices

Effect of climate change on China Drawbacks: increases the frequency and the intensity of extreme weather loss of lives and destruction to properties spatio-temporal anomaly of precipitation floods and droughts are observed more frequently

Disasters in the future due to climate change

Disasters in the future due to climate change Ice sheets melt posing threat to fresh water resource and causing the rise in the sea level. Permafrost melt so that more CO2 is released, thus forming a vicious circle Rising temperature affects ecosystem resulting in a reduction its diversity A decrease in production of staple food thus leading to social unrest
