Global warming
May 24, 2015
The term 'Global Warming' refers to an expected rise in global temperature due to certain human activities.
The reason behind this increase in temperature is the continued emission of Carbon Dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere which are capable of trapping heat.
The carbon dioxide concentration in our atmosphere has increased about 15% during the past century.
The result is that the layer of CO2 so formed over earth absorbs the sun's heat and thus prevents its escape thus causing the green house effect.

GLOBAL WARMING………. An adverse effect of Human
Activities
“Some people call it global warming; some people call it climate change.”
What is the difference?
INTRODUCTION The term 'Global Warming' refers to an expected rise in global temperature due to
certain human activities.
The reason behind this increase in temperature is the continued emission of Carbon Dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere which are capable of trapping heat.
The carbon dioxide concentration in our atmosphere has increased about 15% during the past century.
The result is that the layer of CO2 so formed over earth absorbs the sun's heat and thus prevents its escape thus causing the green house effect.
HOW HARMFUL IT IS? Even within the next 20 years, different regions of the world will likely see
longer droughts, more flooding and more frequent extreme weather changes.
Increased global warming will also affect natural habitats and water resources.
Human well-being, including business and economic development, could well be at risk.
The most serious impacts will most likely include human health, agriculture, and natural habitats.
Its impacts can be broken down into following:
Human Health Agriculture
Whether changes
Natural Habitats
Depletion of ozone layer
What Can we do to prevent Global Warming?
Ways to prevent global warming
Efficient home appliances and
electronics
Fuel efficient vehicles
Reduction of electricity
consumption
Planting Trees
Recycling
Reduce waste production
“Global warming is not a conqueror to kneel before - but a challenge to rise to. A
challenge we must rise to.”
