7. INTRODUCTION
Global warming refers to the long-term increase in the Earth's average surface
temperature, primarily as a result of human activities such as the burning of fossil
fuels and deforestation. Greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide and methane,
trap heat from the sun in the Earth's atmosphere and cause the temperature to
rise. This warming has been observed for over a century, and scientists are now
more certain than ever that human activities are the primary cause of this
warming.
The effects of global warming are widespread and include rising sea levels, more
frequent and severe heatwaves and storms, changes in precipitation patterns, and
altered growing seasons. These changes are having a significant impact on the
natural world, as well as on human societies and economies. For example, warmer
temperatures are leading to the extinction of many species, and are also making it
more difficult for farmers to grow crops

8. RESEARCH WORK
Green House Effect
While other planets in the solar system of the Earth are either roasting hot or bitterly cold, Earth's surface has relatively mild, steady
temperatures. Earth enjoys these temperatures because of its atmosphere, which is the thin layer of gases that cover and protect the
planet. However, 97 % of climate scientists and researchers agree that humans have changed the Earth's atmosphere in dramatic ways
over the past two centuries, resulting in global warming. To understand global warming, it is first necessary to become familiar with
the greenhouse effect. As Fig.1 depicts, the natural greenhouse effect normally traps some portion of heat in such a way that our
planet is safe from reaching freezing temperatures while human enhanced greenhouse effect leads to global warming. This is due to
burning of fossil fuels which increase the amount of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane and oxides of nitrogen) present in
the atmosphere
9. GREENHOUSE GASES
There are many greenhouse gases which are mainly emitted by human activity. The
first and foremost in the list is carbon dioxide. Excessive burning of fossil fuels like
coal and oil is the major factor for producing this gas. Moreover, deforestation i.e.
removal of trees for acquiring lands also causes large amount of carbon dioxide in
the atmosphere. Cement manufacture also contributes carbon dioxide to
atmosphere when calcium carbonate is heated generating lime and carbon dioxide.
The second culprit gas is methane, commonly known as natural gas. It is produced
as a result of agricultural activities such as livestock digestion, paddy rice farming
and use of manure. Methane is also produced due to improper management of
waste. Nitrous oxides are generated mainly by fertilizers. Moreover, fluorinated
gases such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are chiefly a result of various industrial
processes and refrigeration [5], [6]. Fig.4 shows pictorially the distribution of
greenhouse gases. These gases are playing their negative part in increasing the
havoc of global warming. They are continuously causing an increase in the earth’s
temperature.
10. EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING
Predicting the consequences of global warming is one of the most difficult tasks faced by the climate
researchers. This is due to the fact that natural processes that cause rain, snowfall, hailstorms, rise in sea
levels is reliant on many diverse factors. Moreover, it is very hard to predict the size of emissions of
greenhouse gases in the future years as this is determined majorly through technological
advancements and political decisions. Global warming produces many negative effects some of which
are described here. Firstly, extra water vapour which is present in the atmosphere falls again as rain
which leads to floods in various regions of the world. When the weather turns warmer, evaporation
process from both land and sea rises. This leads to drought in the regions where increased evaporation
process is not compensated by increased precipitation. In some areas of the world, this will result in
crop failure and famine particularly in areas where the temperatures are already high. The extra water
vapour content in the atmosphere will fall again as extra rain hence causing flood. Towns and villages
which are dependent on the melting water from snowy mountains may suffer drought and scarcity of
water supply. It is because the glaciers all over the world are shrinking at a very rapid rate and melting
of ice appears to be faster than previously projected. According to Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC), about one-sixth of the total population of the world lives in the regions
which shall be affected by a decrease in melting water. The warmer climate will likely cause more heat
waves, more violent rainfall and also amplification in the severity of hailstorms and thunderstorms.
Rising of sea levels is the most deadly affect of global warming, the rise in temperature is causing the
ice and glaciers to melt rapidly. This will lead to rise of water levels in oceans, rivers and lakes that can
pilot devastation in the form of floods . As evident from , temperature anomalies are projected to
increase in coming years. Before, the 20th century, the situation was well under control but the
beginning of the current century, the situation started to worsen .This was all due to increase in global
warming majorly due to the fact that new industries and power houses started operation and emitted
harmful gases which cause the planet to heat up
13. ANALYSIS
❖ An analysis on a global warming project would involve assessing the current state of the problem, identifying the causes and effects of
global warming, and evaluating potential solutions for reducing its impact.
❖ Firstly, the analysis would assess the current state of global warming, including the trends in temperature, sea level, and extreme
weather events. It would also review the latest research and data on the subject, such as that from the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC) and other reputable scientific organizations.
❖ Secondly, the analysis would identify the causes of global warming, which primarily include the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation.
The analysis would explore the role of human activities in releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and the resulting warming.
❖ Thirdly, the analysis would examine the effects of global warming on the natural world, as well as on human societies and economies.
The analysis would explore the impacts of global warming on different regions and industries, such as agriculture, tourism, and
infrastructure.
❖ Lastly, the analysis would evaluate potential solutions for reducing the impact of global warming. This would include a review of policies
and technologies that have been proposed or implemented to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote the use of renewable
energy. It would also examine the potential for carbon capture and storage, as well as reforestation and afforestation, to reduce
atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.
❖ It's important to note that the analysis should also consider the economic, social and political aspects of the problem and the potential
solutions.
