Climate Change / Global warming

WHAT IS GLOBAL WARMING?

 It refers to the long term warming of planet since industrial revolution in
1970s. Since then, the average temperature of earth has gone up by a little
over 1°C, a change which might seem small, but even small changes in
earth’s temperature could have damaging affects and moreover the
temperature is still gradually on rise.
WHAT IS CLIMATE CHANGE?
 Climate change is an implication of global warming. Global warming results
in unexpected weather changes, apart from other effects like melting
glaciers, raised ocean temperatures and extreme cold or heat. These
conditions all together cause changes in climatic conditions throughout the
globe.
CAUSES WHY THERE IS A GLOBAL WARMING/CLIMATE CHANGE
 One of the main causes of global warming is an escalated green house
effect. I
 t is an effect caused by the increased atmospheric condition of Green house
gases like Carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO) and Methane (CH4).
 These gases are emitted as by products of fossil fuel production and use.
 Humans extensively use fossil fuels resulting in increased atmospheric
concentration of green house gases, consequently resulting in green house
effect.
 Green house effect is primarily responsible for climate change.
 Sun’s heat is blocked from escaping the surface of earth by certain gases
which form a thermal blanket over the earth.
 These gases constitute primarily of water vapor (H2O) and other gases like
carbon dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4) and Nitrous oxide (N2O), and are
responsible for maintaining earth’s temperature to a life supporting 15°C.
PREVENTION OF GLOBAL WARMING/CLIMATE CHANGE
 In order to reduce the effect of global warming/climate change we should
limit our need of agriculture, deforestation, mining, industrial production,
etc.
 We should do re-plantation of the plants to a great level to reduce the side
effects of deforestation.
 We should replant the genetically engineered plants and replenishment of
oceans with algae which are efficient to recycle the carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere.
 We should also follow all the rules and regulations planned and
implemented by the government to reach to the aim and continue the
possibility of healthy life on the earth.
