Introduction to the Theme: Global Warming
In recent decades, our planet has been undergoing significant changes, and one overarching concern has taken
center stage in the realm of environmental issues: global warming. This phenomenon, driven primarily by
human activities, has triggered a cascade of consequences that impact our environment, societies, and
economies. Global warming is not just a scientific concept; it is a stark reality that demands our attention
The rise in global temperatures, primarily caused by the emission of greenhouse gases, has set off a chain
reaction of climate-related challenges. These include more frequent and severe heatwaves, melting polar ice caps,
rising sea levels, and an increase in extreme weather events. These changes have far-reaching implications,
touching every corner of our world.
This project delves into the theme of global warming, seeking to unravel the complexities, understand the
underlying causes, and explore potential solutions. By examining the science, consequences, and responses to
global warming, we aim to equip ourselves with knowledge and a sense of urgency to address this issue.
Our journey begins with a simple but profound question: What is global warming, and why does it matter? The
answers to this question, we believe, hold the key to a more sustainable and responsible future for our planet.
In the pages that follow, we will embark on a journey to comprehend the far-reaching impacts of global warming
and, more importantly, to explore how individuals, communities, and nations can contribute to mitigating its
effects. The exploration of this theme is a critical step towards achieving a harmonious coexistence with our
environment and ensuring the well-being of generations to come.
Reasons for Choosing the Theme: Global Warming
The decision to embark on a journey to explore the theme of global warming is not merely a matter of chance; it is
born from a sense of responsibility and a deep-seated concern for the world we inhabit. The reasons for choosing
this theme are rooted in the profound implications of global warming for our planet and future generations.
1. Urgency of the Issue: Global warming is an urgent matter that cannot be ignored. The scientific consensus is
clear: human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, are driving the rise
in global temperatures. This has set in motion a series of environmental changes with far-reaching
consequences, from the melting of ice sheets to the intensification of extreme weather events. The urgency of
the issue demands that we act swiftly and decisively.
2. Environmental Consequences: Global warming poses an unprecedented threat to our environment. It impacts
ecosystems, biodiversity, and natural resources. Rising sea levels threaten coastal regions and island nations,
while changing weather patterns disrupt agriculture and water availability. The consequences are felt not just
in distant places but right in our own communities.
3. Social and Economic Impact: The effects of global warming extend beyond the environment. Vulnerable
communities, particularly in developing regions, bear the brunt of the challenges, facing food and water
scarcity, displacement, and health risks. The economic repercussions of climate change are substantial,
affecting businesses, infrastructure, and the livelihoods of millions.
4. Collective Responsibility: Global warming is a global issue, and its solution requires a collective effort. We
believe that raising awareness and understanding of this issue is the first step toward fostering environmental
responsibility and encouraging sustainable practices. As individuals, communities, and nations, we must work
together to mitigate the effects of global warming.
5. Empowering Change: This project is not just an exploration; it's a call to action. By comprehending the
intricacies of global warming, we hope to inspire individuals to make informed choices in their daily lives,
advocate for responsible policies, and engage in initiatives that contribute to environmental sustainability.
Our choice to delve into the theme of global warming is driven by the belief that knowledge and awareness
are powerful tools for change. By understanding the causes and consequences of global warming, we aim to
inspire others to join us in making a positive impact on our planet and securing a better future.
Together, we can be the change-makers in the fight against global warming.
We have chosen to focus on global warming because it is an issue that transcends borders and affects all of
humanity. It is a global challenge that requires global solutions. By addressing global warming, we are
acknowledging our interconnectedness with the world and recognizing our shared responsibility to protect the
environment and ensure a sustainable future for all.
Causes of Global Warming
• Generating power: Generating electricity and heat by burning fossil fuels causes a large chunk of global
emissions. Most electricity is still generated by burning coal, oil, or gas, which produces carbon dioxide and
nitrous oxide – powerful greenhouse gases that blanket the Earth and trap the sun’s heat. Globally, a bit more
than a quarter of electricity comes from wind, solar and other renewable sources which, as opposed to fossil
fuels, emit little to no greenhouse gases or pollutants into the air.
• Manufacturing goods: Manufacturing and industry produce emissions, mostly from burning fossil fuels to
produce energy for making things like cement, iron, steel, electronics, plastics, clothes, and other goods. Mining
and other industrial processes also release gases, as does the construction industry. Machines used in the
manufacturing process often run on coal, oil, or gas; and some materials, like plastics, are made from chemicals
sourced from fossil fuels. The manufacturing industry is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas
emissions worldwide.
• Cutting down forests: Cutting down forests to create farms or pastures, or for other reasons, causes emissions,
since trees, when they are cut, release the carbon they have been storing. Each year approximately 12 million
hectares of forest are destroyed. Since forests absorb carbon dioxide, destroying them also limits nature’s ability
to keep emissions out of the atmosphere. Deforestation, together with agriculture and other land use changes, is
responsible for roughly a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions.
• Using transportation: Most cars, trucks, ships, and planes run on fossil fuels. That makes transportation a
major contributor of greenhouse gases, especially carbon-dioxide emissions. Road vehicles account for the
largest part, due to the combustion of petroleum-based products, like gasoline, in internal combustion
engines. But emissions from ships and planes continue to grow. Transport accounts for nearly one quarter of
global energy-related carbon-dioxide emissions. And trends point to a significant increase in energy use for
transport over the coming years.
• Producing food: Producing food causes emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, and other greenhouse gases in
various ways, including through deforestation and clearing of land for agriculture and grazing, digestion by
cows and sheep, the production and use of fertilizers and manure for growing crops, and the use of energy to
run farm equipment or fishing boats, usually with fossil fuels. All this makes food production a major
contributor to climate change. And greenhouse gas emissions also come from packaging and
distributing food.
• Powering buildings: Globally, residential and commercial buildings consume over half of all electricity. As
they continue to draw on coal, oil, and natural gas for heating and cooling, they emit significant quantities of
greenhouse gas emissions. Growing energy demand for heating and cooling, with rising air-conditioner
ownership, as well as increased electricity consumption for lighting, appliances, and connected devices, has
contributed to a rise in energy-related carbon-dioxide emissions from buildings in recent years.
Evidence/Data on causes of global warming
A) Global Emissions by Economic Sector
• Electricity and Heat Production (23% of 2010 global greenhouse gas emissions): The burning of coal, natural
gas, and oil for electricity and heat is the largest single source of global greenhouse gas emissions.
• Industry (24% of 2010 global greenhouse gas emissions): Greenhouse gas emissions from industry primarily
involve fossil fuels burned on site at facilities for energy. This sector also includes emissions from chemical,
metallurgical, and mineral transformation processes not associated with energy consumption and emissions
from waste management.
• Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use (22% of 2010 global greenhouse gas emissions): Greenhouse gas
emissions from this sector come mostly from agriculture (cultivation of crops and livestock) and deforestation.
This estimate does not include the CO2 that ecosystems remove from the atmosphere by sequestering carbon
in biomass, dead organic matter, and soils, which offset approximately 20% of emissions from this sector.
• Transportation (15% of 2010 global greenhouse gas emissions): Greenhouse gas emissions from this sector
primarily involve fossil fuels burned for road, rail, air, and marine transportation. Almost all (95%) of the
world's transportation energy comes from petroleum-based fuels, largely gasoline and diesel.
• Buildings (6% of 2010 global greenhouse gas emissions): Greenhouse gas emissions from this sector arise from
onsite energy generation and burning fuels for heat in buildings or cooking in homes. (Note: Emissions from
electricity use in buildings are excluded and are instead covered in the Electricity and Heat Production sector.)
• Other Energy (10% of 2010 global greenhouse gas emissions): This source of greenhouse gas emissions refers to all
emissions from the Energy sector which are not directly assoiated with electricity or heat production, such as fuel
extraction, refining, processing, and transportation.
B)Trends in Global Emissions
Global carbon emissions from fossil fuels have significantly increased since 1900. Since 1970, CO 2 emissions have
increased by about 90%, with emissions from fossil fuel combustion and industrial processes contributing about 78%
of the total greenhouse gas emissions increase from 1970 to 2011. Agriculture, deforestation, and other land-use
changes have been the second-largest contributors.
C)Emissions by Country
In 2014, the top carbon dioxide (CO 2) emitters were China, the United States, the European Union, India, the Russian
Federation, and Japan. These data include CO 2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion, as well as cement
manufacturing and gas flaring. Together, these sources represent a large proportion of total global CO 2 emissions.
Emissions and sinks related to changes in land use are not included in these estimates. However, changes in land use can
be important: estimates indicate that net global greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture, forestry, and other land
use were over 8 billion metric tons of CO 2 equivalent,[2] or about 24% of total global greenhouse gas emissions. [3] In
areas such as the United States and Europe, changes in land use associated with human activities have the net effect of
absorbing CO 2, partially offsetting the emissions from deforestation in other regions.
Overview of Greenhouse Gases
Gases that trap heat in the atmosphere are called greenhouse gases. This section provides information on emissions
and removals of the main greenhouse gases to and from the atmosphere. For more information on the other
climate forcers, such as black carbon, please visit the Climate Change Indicators: Climate Forcing page.
• Carbon dioxide (CO2): Fossil fuel use is the primary source of CO2. CO2 can also be emitted from direct human-
induced impacts on forestry and other land use, such as through deforestation, land clearing for agriculture, and
degradation of soils. Likewise, land can also remove CO 2 from the atmosphere through reforestation,
improvement of soils, and other activities.
• Methane (CH4): Agricultural activities, waste management, energy use, and biomass burning all contribute to
CH4 emissions.
• Nitrous oxide (N2O): Agricultural activities, such as fertilizer use, are the primary source of N 2O emissions.
Fossil fuel combustion also generates N 2O.
• Fluorinated gases (F-gases): Hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride, and nitrogen
trifluoride are synthetic, powerful greenhouse gases that are emitted from a variety of household, commercial,
and industrial applications and processes. Fluorinated gases (especially hydrofluorocarbons) are sometimes
used as substitutes for stratospheric ozone-depleting substances (e.g., chlorofluorocarbons,
hydrochlorofluorocarbons, and halons). Fluorinated gases are typically emitted in smaller quantities than other
greenhouse gases, but they are potent greenhouse gases.
Effects of Global warming
• Hotter temperatures: As greenhouse gas concentrations rise, so does the global surface temperature. The last
decade, 2011-2020, is the warmest on record. Since the 1980s, each decade has been warmer than the previous
one. Nearly all land areas are seeing more hot days and heat waves. Higher temperatures increase heat-related
illnesses and make working outdoors more difficult. Wildfires start more easily and spread more rapidly when
conditions are hotter. Temperatures in the Arctic have warmed at least twice as fast as the global average.
• More severe storms: Destructive storms have become more intense and more frequent in many regions. As
temperatures rise, more moisture evaporates, which exacerbates extreme rainfall and flooding, causing more
destructive storms. The frequency and extent of tropical storms is also affected by the warming ocean. Cyclones,
hurricanes, and typhoons feed on warm waters at the ocean surface. Such storms often destroy homes and
communities, causing deaths and huge economic losses.
• Increased drought: Climate change is changing water availability, making it scarcer in more regions. Global
warming exacerbates water shortages in already water-stressed regions and is leading to an increased risk of
agricultural droughts affecting crops, and ecological droughts increasing the vulnerability of ecosystems.
Droughts can also stir destructive sand and dust storms that can move billions of tons of sand across continents.
Deserts are expanding, reducing land for growing food. Many people now face the threat of not having enough
water on a regular basis.
• A warming, rising ocean: The ocean soaks up most of the heat from global warming. The rate at which the
ocean is warming strongly increased over the past two decades, across all depths of the ocean. As the ocean
warms, its volume increases since water expands as it gets warmer. Melting ice sheets also cause sea levels to
rise, threatening coastal and island communities. In addition, the ocean absorbs carbon dioxide, keeping it
from the atmosphere. But more carbon dioxide makes the ocean more acidic, which endangers marine life
and coral reefs.
• Not enough food: Changes in the climate and increases in extreme weather events are among the reasons
behind a global rise in hunger and poor nutrition. Fisheries, crops, and livestock may be destroyed or become
less productive. With the ocean becoming more acidic, marine resources that feed billions of people are at
risk. Changes in snow and ice cover in many Arctic regions have disrupted food supplies from herding,
hunting, and fishing. Heat stress can diminish water and grasslands for grazing, causing declining crop
yields and affecting livestock.
• More health risks: Climate change is the single biggest health threat facing humanity. Climate impacts are
already harming health, through air pollution, disease, extreme weather events, forced displacement,
pressures on mental health, and increased hunger and poor nutrition in places where people cannot grow or
find sufficient food. Every year, environmental factors take the lives of around 13 million people. Changing
weather patterns are expanding diseases, and extreme weather events increase deaths and make it difficult
for health care systems to keep up.
Worst-case scenario of global warming
In the worst-case scenario of global warming and climate change, the world faces a dire and daunting future,
marred by a surge in temperature. This scenario is the result of a collective failure to take substantial, timely
action to mitigate the consequences of rising greenhouse gas emissions. The consequences of such inaction
would be catastrophic and far-reaching, transforming our planet in ways that are difficult to fully
comprehend.
At the core of this grim outlook is the unprecedented increase in global temperatures. Current efforts to limit
global warming to 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, as outlined in the Paris Agreement, would
fall short. Instead, the worst-case scenario envisions temperature rises of 4 degrees Celsius or more. Such
extreme warming would unleash devastating consequences, making large swaths of the world inhospitable
due to heatwaves that render outdoor activities dangerous and agricultural productivity unsustainable.
Populated regions would become virtually uninhabitable.
One of the most visibly devastating outcomes of this worst-case scenario is the accelerated rise in sea levels.
Polar ice caps and glaciers would melt at alarming rates, their runoff inundating coastal cities and low-lying
regions. Millions of people would be forced to abandon their homes, leading to massive refugee crises and
humanitarian emergencies. Economic losses due to infrastructure damage and property loss would be
counted in trillions of dollars.
The Gulf Stream, which currently helps to regulate the climate in the North Atlantic, could weaken or change course.
Such shifts would lead to unpredictable weather patterns and an increase in the frequency and intensity of storms,
endangering communities and economies worldwide.
Biodiversity would be another casualty of this grim scenario. Many species would be unable to adapt or migrate to
suitable habitats quickly enough, leading to widespread extinction events. Ecosystems would be fractured and altered
beyond recognition, depriving humanity of the vital services provided by healthy, functioning ecosystems.
Health impacts would be profound. Extreme heat events would result in a surge in heat-related illnesses and deaths.
The distribution of disease vectors would change, leading to an increase in diseases like malaria and dengue
fever. Healthcare systems would be overwhelmed, and lives would be needlessly lost.
Resource scarcity would loom large. Changing weather patterns and extreme weather events would lead to crop
failures, food shortages, and water scarcity. Competition for essential resources, including freshwater and arable land,
could intensify, potentially leading to conflicts and social unrest.
Ocean acidification would threaten marine life and fisheries, causing a collapse in some populations and damaging
the health of ocean ecosystems. Coral reefs, which are essential for biodiversity and fisheries, would be
particularly vulnerable, losing their vibrancy and economic importance
Perhaps most alarming in this worst-case scenario is the activation of positive feedback loops. Thawing
permafrost could release vast quantities of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere. The
melting of the West Antarctic ice sheet could accelerate, leading to higher sea levels. These self-reinforcing
feedback loops would magnify the effects of global warming, pushing the world further into a state of crisis.
Mass migration and displacement would become the new normal. Entire communities and even nations
would become uninhabitable due to extreme heat, sea level rise, and resource scarcity. This would lead to a
global refugee crisis, testing the limits of humanitarian resources and putting unprecedented pressure on
nations and international institutions.
In this worst-case scenario, our world would be transformed into an unrecognizable and inhospitable place,
fraught with challenges that would test the resilience and adaptability of humanity. While the scenario is
bleak, it is essential to remember that it is not an inevitability. International agreements and ongoing efforts
to mitigate climate change provide a path toward a more sustainable and resilient future. Avoiding this
worst-case scenario requires an unwavering commitment to reducing emissions, transitioning to renewable
energy sources, and adapting to the changes that are already unfolding. The choice is ours, and it is a critical
one.
The Paris Agreement
Climate change is a global emergency that goes beyond national borders. It is an issue that requires international
cooperation and coordinated solutions at all levels.
To tackle climate change and its negative impacts, world leaders at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP21)
in Paris reached a breakthrough on 12 December 2015: the historic Paris Agreement.
The Agreement sets long-term goals to guide all nations:
• substantially reduce global greenhouse gas emissions to limit the global temperature increase in this century to
2 degrees Celsius while pursuing efforts to limit the increase even further to 1.5 degrees;
• provide financing to developing countries to mitigate climate change, strengthen resilience and enhance
abilities to adapt to climate impacts.
The Agreement includes commitments from all countries to reduce their emissions and work together to adapt to
the impacts of climate change, and calls on countries to strengthen their commitments over time. The Agreement
provides a pathway for developed nations to assist developing nations in their climate mitigation and adaptation
efforts while creating a framework for the transparent monitoring and reporting of countries’ climate goals.
The Paris Agreement provides a durable framework guiding the global effort for decades to come. It marks the
beginning of a shift towards a net-zero emissions world. Implementation of the Agreement is also essential for the
achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
How does it work?
The Paris Agreement works on a five- year cycle of increasingly ambitious climate action carried out by
countries. Every five years, each country is expected to submit an updated national climate action plan -
known as Nationally Determined Contribution, or NDC.
In their NDCs, countries communicate actions they will take to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions in order
to reach the goals of the Paris Agreement. Countries also communicate in the NDCs actions they will take to
build resilience to adapt to the impacts of rising temperatures.

In 2023, the first “global stocktake” will assess progress on Paris Agreement goals. This process will further
encourage countries to take ambitious climate actions that keep warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius.
To better frame the efforts towards the long-term goal, the Paris Agreement invites countries to formulate and
submit long-term strategies. Unlike NDCs, they are not mandatory.
The operational details for the practical implementation of the Paris Agreement were agreed on at the UN
Climate Change Conference (COP24) in Katowice, Poland, in December 2018, in what is colloquially called
the Paris Rulebook, and finalized at COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland, in November 2021.

Conclusion
In the course of our exploration of climate change and global warming, we have unveiled a sobering reality. These
critical issues, driven primarily by the emission of greenhouse gases from human activities, pose profound
challenges to our planet's well-being. As we draw this project to a close, it is imperative to reflect on the key
takeaways and the urgency of our response.
First and foremost, the causes of climate change and global warming are undeniably linked to our own actions. The
burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and certain agricultural practices have elevated greenhouse gas concentrations
to alarming levels. These culprits are within our control, and so too are the solutions.
The impacts of these environmental shifts are felt worldwide, from the intensification of extreme weather events to
the disruption of ecosystems and the displacement of communities. Rising global temperatures, melting ice caps,
and acidifying oceans are compelling evidence of the stark reality we face.
Nonetheless, solutions abound. The transition to renewable energy sources, the pursuit of energy efficiency, and the
preservation and restoration of forests are pathways toward mitigation. The Paris Agreement, a testament to
international cooperation, underscores our collective commitment to addressing this global issue.
In conclusion, the project has emphasized the imperativeness of immediate and sustained action. The consequences
of inaction are not hypothetical; they are documented and increasingly evident. By adopting sustainable practices,
reducing emissions, and supporting the shift to cleaner energy sources, we can collectively chart a more resilient,
sustainable future. The choice is clear, and our responsibility is undeniable. The time for action is now.
