1.INTRODUCTION :-
From The Stone Age to the modern era
man has come a long way. In his pursuit
of comforts of life he ignored the threat
of pollution and environmental
degradation caused by industrialization.
Global warming is not new as this
process occurs naturally and keeps the
Earths temperature about 50 degrees.
Fahrenheit warmer than it would be
otherwise. Without this natural cover,
Earths surface would be colder than it is
today,, making the planet freezing and
devoid off life.
2.What is GREENHOUSE
EFFECT ?
.Gas in the atmosphere, such a water, carbon
dioxide, methane, CFCs and nitrous oxide,
absorb infrared light and would otherwise
escape to space, radiating it back towards the
planets surface.

.These gases are called greenhouse gases

and they have a critical role in determining the
temperature of the Earths surface and the
living conditions on the planet.

.This natural process is called the greenhouse

effect.
3.Effect on Global Warming ?
i. Serve Changes in Weather :

Earths surface to a new high of 14.57 degree

centigrade.

Rise in temperature was marked by unusually

severe weather in many parts of the world.

The irony of this global warming is that while it

could reduce climatic changes by drying
up rains.

It could also raise sea levels with disastrous

consequences for islands and low- level coastal areas.
II.Impact on Arctic
Ecosystem :-
The ecosystem which sustains the livelihood of
Arctic residents is melting the ice as temperature
rise.

The layer of permafrost is melting, causing an

inland lake to drain into the ocean and killing fresh
water fish.
KYOTO
PROTOCOL
 iii.Kyoto Protocol :-
A un- brokered treaty was signed by in 1997 in
Kyoto Japan. It was called the Kyoto Protocol.

It commits the rich countries to binding cut in

their emission of greenhouse gases, such as carbon
dioxide.

The developed countries agreed to cut their

emissions by a collective average of 5 percent
below their levels in 1990 by 2008-2012.

Representative Climate Conference (COPC) in

Nov 2000, and discussed about the implementation
of the Kyoto Protocol.
iv. Erratic Rain :-

People around the world will experience

climate changes and the erratic rainfall
China to Africa will jeopardize the lives of
many people.

IT is now nearly a decade since the IPCC

accepted that human activates were
changing the worlds climate.

The most severe warming is seen in the

Arctic were the ice pack is shrinking, and
thinning, according to the US experts.
v.More storms, foods, droughts,
submergence of islands :-

Scientists have warned that a

warmer world will mean more storms,
floods, droughts, and snowfalls.

The countries that have to suffer

most if the Hague talks fail are the
small countries. Islands in danger of
being submerged, from the Pacific to
vi. Ozone Getting Depleted :-

Pollution from transport is the fastest growing

source of carbon dioxide emissions since the
industrial revolutions

Carbon emission levels responsible for 70

percent of global warming vary widely among
nations.

Due to these emissions the ozone layer that

provides a protective shield over the Earth from the
harmful ultravoilent radiation is getting depleted.

vii.Major Climate Change :-
If we do not act to reduce the emission of
these heat- trapping gases, it is predicted that
global temperature could rise 2 degree to
6degree Fahrenheit in the next 100 yrs. Just a
few degree difference in the global average
temperature can mean a major climate
change.

The amt o greenhouse gases that are

released could be controlled through prudent
planning and implementation of environmental
priorities. Man has to act now to insure against
the risk of destructive future warming by
reducing the greenhouse gas emissions.
