This educational wall chart explains the concept of global warming and how greenhouse gases contribute to rising temperatures in the Earth’s lower atmosphere. It introduces global warming as the gradual increase in air temperature caused by emissions such as carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere through human activities.

The wall chart clearly illustrates the greenhouse effect using labelled diagrams that show how solar radiation enters the atmosphere, how heat is trapped, and how greenhouse gases prevent heat from escaping back into space. It also explains the natural greenhouse effect and how increased levels of greenhouse gases intensify global warming beyond natural conditions.

Detailed sections focus on the causes of increased global warming, including the burning of fossil fuels for energy, power stations, deforestation, rubbish dumps, cattle farming, and chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons. Visual examples help learners understand how these activities increase greenhouse gas concentrations.

The effects of global warming are shown through sections on melting ice caps, severe weather, climate change, and impacts on nature and wildlife. The wall chart also explains international efforts such as the Kyoto Protocol, outlining strategies to reduce emissions and promote sustainable practices. This wall chart functions effectively as a poster for classrooms, geography, environmental science, and climate education.

Our wallcharts are engineered for durability and educational impact, designed to withstand the rigors of both classroom and home environments.
