    The document discusses global warming and its causes. Global warming is defined as the rise in average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere due to greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane trapping heat. It is increasing due to deforestation and rising levels of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and sulfur dioxide from sources like burning fossil fuels. While nitrogen, oxygen, and argon make up over 99% of the atmosphere, greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane that make up less than 1% are causing global warming by enhancing the natural greenhouse effect. Effects of global warming include ozone depletion, increasing greenhouse gas emissions, desertification, and industrialization. Possible solutions discussed include conservation efforts, alternative energy sources,

    Global Warming

    Will Human-Induced Climate Change Destroy the World?

    What is Global Warming?


    Global warming may be defined as

    Rise in the average temperature of earths atmosphere due to effect of greenhouse gases such as carbon-dioxide emission from burning fossil fuels or from deforestation, which trap heat that would otherwise escape from earth.

    Causes of Global Warming!


    Global warming is increasing because of DEFORESTRATION & rising in harmful gases in our environment like :CARBON-DIOXIDE (CO2), CLORO-FLORO-CARBON (CFCs), SULPHUR-DIOXIDE (SO2), OXIDES OF NITROGEN (NO & NO2), METHENE, etc.

    Earths Atmospheric Gases


    Nitrogen (N2) Oxygen (O2) Argon (Ar) Water (H2O) Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Methane (CH4)

    >99% Greenhouse Gases

    <1% NonGreenhouse Gases

    Greenhouse Effect

    Effects of Global Warming!


    Global warming resulting from a host of causal factors: Ozone depletion Emission of greenhouse gases at alarming increasing rate Desertification Industrialization

    Possible Solutions to Global Warming

    Mitigation of Global Warming

    Conservation

    Reduce energy needs Recycling Nuclear Wind Geothermal Hydroelectric Solar Fusion?

    Alternate energy sources

    Storage of CO2 in Geological Formations

    Conclusions

    Global warming is happening Most warming is probably the result of human activities There will be positive and negative (mostly) repercussions from global warming The costs to mitigate global warming will be high better spent elsewhere?
