PREFACE
Global warming is arguably the most critical and controversial issue facing the world in the
twenty-first century, one that will affect every living creature on the planet. It is also an
extraordinarily complex problem, which everyone needs to understand as clearly and completely as
possible. This Very Short Introduction provides a concise and accessible explanation of global
warming. we discusses how and why changes are occurring, sets current warming trends in the
context of past climate change, examines the predicted impact of global warming, as well as the
political controversies of recent years and the many proposed solutions. Fully updated for 2012, this
compelling paper offers the best current scientific understanding of global warming, describing
recent developments in the latest findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. we
also includes a chapter on local solutions, reflecting the now widely held view that, to mitigate any
impending disaster, governments as well as individuals must to act together.
Catastrophic events around the world have brought a desperate picture to forefront! This
persentation on Global Warming was initiated to bring all disciplines together for local and
global solutions to combat global warming. It is a multi-disciplinary global conference on global
warming (and climate change), not only in engineering and science but also in all other disciplines,
education, social sciences, economics, management, political sciences, and information technology).
It covers a broad range of topics on energy and environment policies, energy resources, energy
conversion technologies,energy management and conservation, energy security, renewables, green
technologies, emission reduction and abatement, carbon tax, sustainable development, pollution
control and measures, policy development, etc.
Intensifying global environmental problems require internationally coordinated responses,
which must balance the goals of energy security, environmental protection, and economic growth.
The adoption of a comprehensive approach to energy and environment issues and the integration
of energy and environment policies have become central activities of several countries. National and
global solutions to reduce pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions have implications for energy
security, energy trade, economic growth, etc. To some extend the global climate change is still
perceived by many as a debatable issue. For example, despite the policy measures taken to date,
unless the rapid establishment and implementation of further effectivepolicies and programs to
reduce emissions are conducted, greenhouse gas emissions would continue increasing unless the
right cure is underway. Of course, this requires the full range of possible areas for action and policy
instruments.

the last 200 years.

part of the picture shows the sources individually for the gases carbon dioxide, methane
and nitrous oxide, respectively.
Increasing global temperatures are causing a broad range of changes. Sea levels are
rising due to thermal expansion of the ocean, in addition to melting of land ice. Amounts
and patterns of precipitation are changing. The total annual power of hurricanes has
already increased markedly since 1975 because their average intensity and average
duration have increased (in addition, there has been a high correlation of hurricane power
with tropical sea-surface temperature).
Changes in temperature and precipitation patterns increase the frequency, duration,
and intensity of other extreme weather events, such as floods, droughts, heat waves, and
tornadoes. Other effects of global warming include higher or lower agricultural yields,
further glacial retreat, reduced summer stream flows, species extinctions. As a further
effect of global warming, diseases like malaria are returning into areas where they have
been extinguished earlier.
Although global warming is affecting the number and magnitude of these events, it is
difficult to connect specific events to global warming. Although most studies focus on the
period up to 2100, warming is expected to continue past then because carbon dioxide
(chemical symbol CO2) has an estimated atmospheric lifetime of 50 to 200 years. For a
summary of the predictions for the future increase in temperature up to 2100.
The increase in ocean heat content is much larger than any other store of energy in the
Earth’s heat balance over the two periods 1961 to 2003 and 1993 to 2003, and accounts for more
than 90% of the possible increase in heat content of the Earth system during these periods.
hemisphere warms faster than the southern hemisphere because it has more land and because it
has extensive areas of seasonal snow and sea-ice cover subject to ice-albedo feedback. Although
more greenhouse gases are emitted in the Northern than Southern Hemisphere this does not
contribute to the difference in warming because the major greenhouse gases persist long enough to
mix between hemispheres.
The thermal inertia of the oceans and slow responses of other indirect effects mean that
climate can take centuries or longer to adjust to changes in forcing. Climate commitment studies
indicate that even if greenhouse gases were stabilized at 2000 levels, a further warming of about
0.5 °C (0.9 °F) would still occur.
Initial causes of temperature changes
Greenhouse effect schematic showing energy flows between space, the atmosphere, and
earth's surface. Energy exchanges are expressed in watts per square meter (W/m2). The greenhouse
effect is the process by which absorption and emission of infrared radiation by gases in the
atmosphere warm a planet's lower atmosphere and surface. It was proposed by Joseph Fourier in
1824 and was first investigated quantitatively by Svante Arrhenius in 1896.
Naturally occurring amounts of greenhouse gases have a mean warming effect of about 33 °C
(59 °F). The major greenhouse gases are water vapor, which causes about 36–70% of the
greenhouse effect; carbon dioxide (CO2), which causes 9–26%; methane (CH4), which causes 4–9%;
and ozone (O3), which causes 3–7%. Clouds also affect the radiation balance through cloud forcings
similar to greenhouse gases.
Human activity since the Industrial Revolution has increased the amount of greenhouse
gases in the atmosphere, leading to increased radiative forcing from CO2, methane, tropospheric
ozone, CFCs and nitrous oxide. The concentrations of CO2 and methane have increased by 36% and
148% respectively since 1750. These levels are much higher than at any time during the last 800,000
years, the period for which reliable data has been extracted from ice cores. Less direct geological
evidence indicates that CO2 values higher than this were last seen about 20 million years ago. Fossil
fuel burning has produced about three-quarters of the increase in CO2 from human activity over the
past 20 years. The rest of this increase is caused mostly by changes in land-use, particularly
deforestation.
Over the last three decades of the 20th century, gross domestic product per capita and population
growth were the main drivers of increases in greenhouse gas emissions. CO2 emissions are
continuing to rise due to the burning of fossil fuels and land-use change.
Environmental Effects
"Detection" is the process of demonstrating that climate has changed in some defined
statistical sense, without providing a reason for that change. Detection does not imply attribution of
the detected change to a particular cause. "Attribution" of causes of climate change is the process of
establishing the most likely causes for the detected change with some defined level of confidence.
Detection and attribution may also be applied to observed changes in physical, ecological and social
systems.
Sparse records indicate that glaciers have been retreating since the early 1800s. In the
1950s measurements began that allow the monitoring of glacial mass balance, reported to the
World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS) and the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC).
Natural systems
Global warming has been detected in a number of systems. Some of these changes, e.g., based on
the instrumental temperature record, have been described in the section on temperature changes.
Rising sea levels and observed decreases in snow and ice extent are consistent with warming. Most
of the increase in global average temperature since the mid-20th century is, with high probability,[D]
attributable to human-induced changes in greenhouse gas concentrations.
Even with policies to reduce emissions, global emissions are still expected to continue to grow
over time. In the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, across a range of future emission scenarios,
model-based estimates of sea level rise for the end of the 21st century (the year 2090–2099, relative
to 1980–1999) range from 0.18 to 0.59 m. These estimates, however, were not given a likelihood
due to a lack of scientific understanding, nor was an upper bound given for sea level rise. On the
timescale of centuries to millennia, the melting of ice sheets could result in even higher sea level
rise. Partial deglaciation of the Greenland ice sheet, and possibly the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, could
contribute 4–6 metres (13 to 20 ft) or more to sea level rise.
Changes in regional climate are expected to include greater warming over land, with most
warming at high northern latitudes, and least warming over the Southern Ocean and parts of the
North Atlantic Ocean.[117] Snow cover area and sea ice extent are expected to decrease, with the
Arctic expected to be largely ice-free in September by 2037.
It is calculated that, with high statistical confidence, certain weather events, such as the heat
waves in Texas and the 2003 European heat wave, would not have occurred without global
warming. Extremely hot outliers, defined as three standard deviations from climatology records,
now cover about 10% of the land surface and, under present trends, would be the norm by 2050.
These temperatures are expected to excaberate the hydrological cycle, with more intense droughts
and floods.[120] The effect on hurricane activity is less certain.
Ecological systems
In terrestrial ecosystems, the earlier timing of spring events, and poleward and upward shifts in
plant and animal ranges, have been linked with high confidence to recent warming. Future climate
change is expected to particularly affect certain ecosystems, including tundra, mangroves, and coral
reefs. It is expected that most ecosystems will be affected by higher atmospheric CO2 levels,
combined with higher global temperatures. Overall, it is expected that climate change will result in
the extinction of many species and reduced diversity of ecosystems.
Dissolved CO2 increases ocean acidity. This process is known as ocean acidification and has been
called the "equally evil twin" of global climate change. Increased ocean acidity decreases the
amount of carbonate ions, which organisms at the base of the marine food chain, such as
foraminifera, use to make structures they need to survive. The current rate of ocean acidification is
many times faster than at least the past 300 million years, which included four mass extinctions that
involved rising ocean acidity, such as the Permian mass extinction, which killed 95% of marine
species. By the end of the century, acidity changes since the industrial revolution would match the
Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, which occurred over 5000 years and killed 35–50% of
benthic foraminifera.
Habitat inundation
In small islands and megadeltas, inundation as a result of sea level rise is expected to threaten
vital infrastructure and human settlements. This could lead to issues of statelessness for population
from countries including the Maldives and Tuvalu and homelessness in countries with low lying
areas such as Bangladesh.
BAB 3
conclusion
The world is temporarily affected by hot and cold climate periods. The industrial revolution which
started in 1875 changed weather conditions. The world has a tendency to warm up.
The industrialisation and the increasing population density are forcing governments to consume
more fossil fuels and are affecting the artificial greenhouse gases' fluctuation.
Even if the usage of fossil fuels could be prohibited, greenhouse gases extant in the atmosphere
are going to remain for hundred years.
The emission of greenhouse gases can't be stopped, but some precautions must be taken.
