Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane trap heat in the atmosphere and have caused global warming, threatening extreme climate change and sea level rise. While countries have pledged to reduce emissions, more needs to be done to actively lower carbon dioxide levels through technologies that could mimic photosynthesis, the process plants use to absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. The document suggests researching the genes and mechanisms that allow photosynthesis in plant chloroplasts in order to artificially replicate this process outside of plants.

Greenhouse effect global worming
Ozone layer depletion occurs when ozone-depleting substances like CFCs break down ozone molecules in the stratosphere. This allows more ultraviolet radiation to reach the Earth's surface, increasing health and environmental risks. The ozone hole was first detected in 1975 and grew substantially in size through the 1980s and 1990s before stabilizing due to the Montreal Protocol banning CFCs. Global warming occurs when greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide trap heat in the lower atmosphere, increasing average surface and lower atmospheric temperatures globally over long periods of time. Both phenomena pose risks but international agreements have led to reductions in their drivers.

Global warming
Global warming and ozone depletion pose serious threats to the environment and humanity. Global warming is caused by increased greenhouse gas emissions from human activities like burning fossil fuels and agriculture, which trap heat in the atmosphere and cause temperatures to rise. This is leading to more extreme weather, rising sea levels, and effects on plants and animals. Ozone depletion is driven by emissions of CFCs that break down the ozone layer, increasing UV radiation at Earth's surface with negative health and ecological impacts. International agreements like the Montreal Protocol have helped slow ozone depletion, but further global cooperation is needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through alternatives to fossil fuels and more sustainable practices.
Ozone depletion by carbon emission
Ozone is the protective layer around the Earths surface which protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiations of sun. It is the layer which lies in stratosphere and absorbs the harmful radiation, in other words it acts like an umbrella. But anthropocentric activities causing the destruction of ozone layer by emission n of CFC's from coolants and refrigerators. This ozone layer is to be protected for existence of life on Earth. In order to protect this layer ever year 16th September. is celebrated as a world ozone day. Lets join the fight to protect this layer and to live without any fear.
green house effect and Global warming
The document discusses the greenhouse effect and global warming. It defines the greenhouse effect as a natural process that warms the Earth using greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. These gases contribute 50%, 19%, 4%, and 8% respectively to the greenhouse effect. Global warming refers to the increase in Earth's average surface temperature caused by the greenhouse effect. The consequences of climate change include rising sea levels, more extreme weather events, droughts, and diseases. The document urges reducing activities that cause global warming like using fossil fuels in order to save the planet.
GHG Sources & Human Activities
The document discusses sources and sinks of greenhouse gases and their contribution to climate change. It explains that the main natural greenhouse gas is water vapor, while the main human-caused one is carbon dioxide released from sources like burning fossil fuels. Forests normally act as carbon sinks by absorbing carbon dioxide through photosynthesis, but deforestation has reduced this, increasing atmospheric carbon levels. In addition to large industries, personal lifestyle choices and consumption patterns also generate significant greenhouse gas emissions through activities like waste disposal, manufacturing of disposable products, electricity use, transportation of goods, and more.

Ozone depletion, Acid Rain, Greenhouse effect and UV Radiation
Environmental Issues-Ozone depletion, Acid Rain, Greenhouse effect and UV Radiation (Definition, Cause/Source, Effects, Preventive Measures)
The greenhouse effect
Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane naturally regulate Earth's climate by trapping heat in the atmosphere. However, since the industrial revolution, human activities have increased greenhouse gas emissions through fossil fuel combustion and deforestation. This has led to atmospheric carbon dioxide levels that are now the highest in human history and are predicted to further rise significantly by 2100 without action. The increased greenhouse gases are causing average global temperatures to rise by around 1 degree Celsius already and will likely increase temperatures by several more degrees, with detrimental effects on ecosystems and human societies.

Lab 3: Sources of CO2 Emissions Part 1:
Introduction
The natural balance that occurs between global atmospheric cooling and warming processes provides an important contribution to the Earth’s varied climates.
Troposphere gases
Planetary albedo from clouds low in the troposphere, sulfur dioxide (SO2) from active volcanoes, snow, and ice all reflect incoming solar radiation back into space. This causes a cooling effect on climates within a geographical area.
Clouds high in the troposphere and greenhouse gases such as water vapor(H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) , methane (CH4) , and nitrous oxide (N2O) have a warming effect.
Along with the solar activity, these cooling and warming processes help ensure that the planet’s average surface temperature is a net value that is above freezing, helping to ensure that life is possible.
Theory on CO2 Emissions
It has been hypothesized that anthropogenic effects (conditions caused by human activity) that are associated with industry, agriculture, and fossil fuel use have enhanced these warming processes by contributing greenhouse gases such as N2O, CH4, and CO2 into the troposphere. As a result, CO2 is believed to contribute the most to the atmospheric warming process.
Pollution
Pollution is a substance that produces a detrimental change in the environment because of its composition and abundance. Anthropogenic sources of CO2 fit this description because of the perception that there is evidence of a positive correlation between the increases in anthropogenic CO2 and increases in temperature. In turn, as temperatures increase, climates can change worldwide, unbalancing ecosystems across the globe.
Strategies
Strategies and prediction models can be used to decrease or eliminate the effects that are associated with a particular pollutant. First, the cause of the pollution must be identified. Then, scientists can create innovate ways to reduce or eliminate its production.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colorless, odorless gas that is a byproduct of burning fossil fuels like coal, natural gas, and oil. It is also released from other
processes like cement production and deforestation. CO2 is a greenhouse gas, meaning it traps heat in the lower atmosphere and contributes to global
warming. Since the Industrial Revolution began around 1750, atmospheric CO2 levels have risen dramatically from 280 parts per million to over 400
ppm today. This rapid rise is largely due to human activities like burning fossil fuels for energy and transportation. The extra CO2 in the air is causing

Global Warming Overview
The document discusses global warming and greenhouse gases. It explains that water vapor is the largest contributor to the greenhouse effect, accounting for 36-72% of the effect. It also discusses the relationship between population, carbon emissions, and rising global temperatures. The top five greenhouse gases are identified as water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. The effects of climate change are described as more severe droughts, storms, floods, wildfires, and rising sea levels.
Done
Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane trapping heat in the atmosphere. This is called the greenhouse effect. While the greenhouse effect makes Earth habitable, the additional heat trapped by human emissions is causing problems. Temperatures are rising faster than ever before in human history due to increased CO2 from the burning of fossil fuels. This is harming ecosystems, raising sea levels, and jeopardizing human health and safety. Efforts to reduce emissions through alternatives to fossil fuels and carbon sequestration are needed to slow global warming.
A review climate change and carbon capture
The IMF warns that human fortunes will “evaporate like water under a relentless sun” if climate change is not checked. “It’s nice for people to talk about two degrees,” says Bill Gates, a philanthropist and investor. “But we don’t even have the commitments that are going to keep us below four degrees of warming.”
Alarmist?
On the contrary - my review has changed my world view and it's not a comfortable feeling.
But you know what's funny ? I mean odd not humourous - this site only allows me to file this paper under 'science'!
The money view - between “5 and 20 per cent of global GDP every year now and forever"
Environmental changes kartavya.pptx
Environmental change is caused by both natural processes and human influences. Natural causes include volcanic eruptions, ocean currents, variations in solar energy and greenhouse gases over long periods of time. Human activities that cause environmental change include increasing greenhouse gas emissions and aerosol particles in the atmosphere, trapping heat and warming the planet. Scientists detected ozone depletion in Antarctica in the 1980s caused by chlorofluorocarbons which increase UV radiation and endanger Arctic life. Governments are taking steps like phasing out ozone-depleting chemicals, promoting fuel efficient vehicles, and green initiatives to reduce pollution and mitigate climate change.
Green House Effect : Global Warming & Climate Change
The document discusses greenhouse gases and their role in global warming. It defines key terms like greenhouse, greenhouse effect, greenhouse gases, and climate change. It explains that greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane and water vapor trap heat in the atmosphere and cause the greenhouse effect, which is responsible for rising global temperatures and climate change. Without some greenhouse effect, the Earth would be too cold to support life, but excess greenhouse gases are warming the planet to dangerous levels.
Green House Effect
The greenhouse effect occurs when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap heat radiation from the Earth's surface, causing the atmosphere to warm up similar to a greenhouse. While the actual temperature rise is small, the fragile Earth ecosystem is sensitive to changes, so the greenhouse effect causes problems by raising the planet's temperature. The main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and fluorinated gases which are emitted through human activities like burning fossil fuels and agriculture.

A reaction paper in science(global warming)
Global warming is caused primarily by too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels and deforestation. During the 20th century, CO2 levels increased from 280 to 383 parts per million. Other greenhouse gases like methane and nitrous oxide have also increased, trapping heat in the atmosphere. While some factors like volcanic eruptions contribute to global warming, human activities are the dominant cause of increased greenhouse gas levels and rising global temperatures according to multiple scientific studies. The document recommends policies like regulating vehicle emissions in California, limiting power plant emissions, establishing a cap and trade system, investing in green infrastructure, and incentivizing sustainable agriculture to address climate change.

End of-year project work 2011
Global warming is caused by increased greenhouse gases trapping heat in the atmosphere. The main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, which are emitted through burning fossil fuels, deforestation, agriculture and industrial activities. This has led to increased global temperatures and more extreme weather patterns. Rising sea levels threaten coastal cities and ecosystems, while species extinction is also a risk if warming continues unchecked. Possible solutions include investing in renewable energy, improving fuel efficiency, developing carbon pricing systems, and building more sustainable communities.
