WHAT IS GLOBAL WARMING?
Global warming is an expression
which refers to the effect of human
activities that produces the unnatural
change on the climate. It is an
increase in earth’s temperature due
to burning of fossil fuel (coal, oil and
gas) and large-scale deforestation,
which results in emission of large
amounts of ‘greenhouse gases’ to the
atmosphere.
 CAUSES OF GLOBAL
WARMING
According to Scientists an Government organizations, Concentration of Greenhouse Gases in
the atmosphere due to greenhouse effect is the major causes of Global Warming. Theses
gases especially CO2 have heat trapping capability. So they trap heat and cause the
greenhouse effect, rising global temperatures.
GREENHOUSE
EFFECTS

Greenhouse effect is the

phenomenon in which the
heat and light of sun
enters to the earth’s
atmosphere but cannot go
out as they are trapped by
the greenhouse gases, as a
result temperature rises.
GREENHOUSE
GASES
Greenhouse gases mainly
comprises of carbon
dioxide, methane, and
nitrous oxide. These gases
are lighter than air, so they
rise up to the outer limits of
the earth’s atmosphere and
settle up there, making an
impenetrable barrier that
traps heat from escaping
out into the space, and
keeping it within our
environment, and increase
the temperature.
AGRICULTUR
E
Agriculture produces large
amount of methane and
nitrous oxide worldwide, as
accounted by IPCC. There
are numerous agriculture
sources of greenhouse gases.
Livestock grazing, waste
management and digestive
gases contribute half of the
emissions produced by
agriculture. Nitrogen
fertilizers (used for
increasing production)
release nitrous oxide and
comprise 35 per cent of
agriculture emissions.
DEFORESTATI
ON
According to NASA (National
Aeronautics and Space
Administration), deforestation
is responsible for nearly one-
fourth of the amount of carbon
emitted to the atmosphere. The
planet cuts and burns nearly 34
million areas of trees each year,
including millions of acres of
rainforest. Trees and plants take
up the carbon dioxide and
provide us pure, clean,
breathable oxygen as a free by
product of the plan life cycle.
 EFFECTS OF GLOBAL
WARMING

There are a numerous effects of global warming, some of the effects of

global warming observed across the world are
RISE IN SEA
LEVEL
Due to in temperature,
the Glaciers present in
polar regions are
melting rapidly, as a
result there is sufficient
rise in sea level.
DROUGHTS
AND FLOODS
Higher temperature
leads to faster
evaporation of water
and leads to drought in
one part, and heavy
rainfall causes flooding
in other part of the
world. Experts have
estimated that,
conditions might be
increasing by at least 66
percent in upcoming
years.
BIODIVERSITY
Wildlife researchers have
noticed some of the strong
species migrating to poles,
for north and far south to
maintain their needed
habitat, for example the red
fox normally an inhabitant of
North America is ow seen
living in the Arctic. Also it
has been noticed that loss of
species and endangerment is
rising along with the global
temperatures.
PREVENTION OF
GLOBAL WARMING
We can prevent global waring by reducing the demand of
fossil fuels and by using the energy more wisely. Some of the
simple actions which can help us to reduce the effects the
global warming are
 Reuse

Recycle Reduce
PLANTING
TREES
We should plant more
and more trees as they
absorb carbon dioxide
and give off oxygen.
They are and integral
part of the natural
atmospheric exchange
cycle here on Earth.
TURNING OF
ELECTRICAL
APPLIANCES
We can save electricity
and reduce global
warming by turning off
lights, television, video
player, stereo and
computer and many
other electrical
appliances, when not in
use.
 CONCLUSION
 Global warming is due to the increased carbon dioxide an greenhouse gases in
air due to pollution caused by human and it is predicted that it will cause
variety of negative effects.
 Thus to reduce the global warming we should develop some steps for the
prevention, we must avoid unnecessary use of automobiles, plant plenty of
trees and recycle the objects and make absolute use of non-conventional
energy sources.
 Apart from that we should organize self-awareness programs, plan exhibitions
in different parts of countries to create awareness on global warming. Also to
slow down global warming, adaption schemes must be forwarded.
Constructing flood defences, banning buildings close to sea areas are some of
the measure we can adapt.
