1st INTERNATIONAL PATIO BRAZIL HUMOR SALOON ON THE ENVIRONMENT

1st INTERNATIONAL PATIO BRAZIL HUMOR SALOON ON THE ENVIRONMENT
Regulations
I – THE THEME
Global warming is currently categorized as one of the greatest threats to life. Within the last decades, this phenomenon has been causing an increase in the average temperature
on the surface of the earth, announcing the escalating condition of the greenhouse effect that is destabilizing the energy balance of the planet.
The greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide (CO2), methanal (CH4), nitrate oxide (N2O), CFC´s (CFxClx) absorb ultared radiation emitted by the earth’s surface, which then radiates
energy that is absorbed by the earth’s surface again, consequently getting hotter, and when in excess, is damaging. Therefore, the excess of gases responsible for the greenhouse
effect, initiates a phenomenon known as global warming.
The proposal for the Eco Cartoon is a warning for life! The cartoonists will have the challenge of showing the risk that the planet and humanity are running. They are, therefore,
invited to create an illustration that depicts global warming and alerts society to the seriousness of the problem.
