Global Warming

Also referred to as climate change.

A gradual increase in the overall temperature of the

earth's atmosphere.

Generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused

by increased levels of carbon dioxide, CFCs, and other
pollutants.
Certain gases in the atmosphere act like glass in a
greenhouse.

Allowing sunlight through to heat the earth's surface

but trapping the heat as it radiates back into space.

As the greenhouse gases build up in the atmosphere

the Earth gets hotter leading to a rapid change in
climate.
Greenhouse Gases
- keeps heat close to earth.
- which makes it livable for humans and animals.
- over-emittance of these gases is causing increase in global
warming.
Industrialization
- since 1800, world has witnessed rapid industrialization and
urbanization.
- immense amount of fossil fuel is been used.
- left carbon footprint on the atmosphere.
Deforestation
- because of urbanization, large amount of forests have been
cut down.
- which increased the release of Carbon in air.
- where it mingles with greenhouse gases from other sources
and contributes to global warming accordingly.
Other Causes
- Ozone Depletion

- Aerosols present in the Atmosphere

- Mining activities

- Volcanic Eruptions
Melting of Glaciers
- will create plethora of problems for human kind and the
animals living on the earth.
- the level of the sea will rise which will lead to flooding and
this will in turn create havoc in human life.
Climate Change
- Irregular weather patterns have already started showing
results.
- Increased precipitation in the form of rain have already been
noticed in polar and sub-polar regions.
- More global warming will lead to more evaporation which
will cause more rains.
Droughts
- Large scale evaporation will be the major cause of droughts
in many places
- Although, it is reeling under the huge pressure of water
crisis, increased global warming would further make the situation
worse and will cause malnutrition.
Other Effects
- Diseases
- Rise of Sea Levels
- Heat Waves
- Frequent Wildfires
- Animal Extinction
- Longer/Shorter Seasons
- Severe Precipitation
- Human Extinction
Tree Plantation
- Planting trees can help much in reducing global warming
then any other method.
- They not only give oxygen but also take in carbon dioxide,
during the process of photosynthesis, which is the main source of
global warming.
Drive Less or Carpool
- By driving less you are not only saving fuel but also helping
in reducing global warming.
- If you have colleagues who live in the same area then you
can combine trips. If you need to go to a local market then either
walk or go by cycle.
- The biggest pollution emitting fumes are caused by oil and
gasoline. Cutting down consumption, is a huge step to reducing
energy wastes.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
- Reduce your need to buy new products or use less, resulting
in a smaller amount of waste.
- Reuse bottles, plastic containers, and other items bought at
the grocery store.
- Recycling unwanted paper, bottles, etc…is a great earth
saving tip.
 As the temperature on earth is increasing day-by-
day, global warming is also increasing.

 Effects of global warming have been seen increasing

in the last two decades.

 If we want to live longer, to be safer and in good

health we must protect our environment.
