Intention is to create awareness about global warming and ways to fix climate change.

2.  To create awareness about threats
of global warming to the public
 The work reveals some interesting
facts about India with respect to
Global perspective and
 The ways to fix climate change

3.  a statistically significant variation for an
extended period (typically decades or
longer).
 natural internal processes or external
forcings, or to persistent anthropogenic
activities
 Global Warming or Climate
Change, measurable increases in
the average temperature of Earth’s
atmosphere, oceans, and landmasses.
The period of rapid warming.

4.  Continental drift
 Volcanoes
 The earth’s tilt
 The elliptical orbit
 Ocean currents

6.  Millions of tonnes of sulphur dioxide (SO2) is
released which reach the stratosphere
 SO2 + H2O  H2SO4
(water (sulphuric acid)
vapour)
 H2SO4 can stay aloft for several years
 Efficient reflectors of sunlight
 Less energy reaches earth causing more
cooling

9.  Cover 71% of earth
 Absorb 2x that of atmosphere or land surface
 Slowdown of currents-> water vapour->
most abundant GHG

10.  Energy sector responsible for ¾ of CO2
emissions
 Coal is used by thermal power plants to
production of electricity
 Cars, buses and trucks run on petrol or diesel
( both fossil fuels)
 Use of plastic
 Deforestation for construction and paper

12.  Carbon dioxide (CO2)
 Methane (CH4) (domestic dairy animals,
paddy)
 Nitrous oxide (N2O) (fertilizers and
leguminous plants)
 Water vapour (H2O)
 Ozone (O3)

13.  Absorption of heat by 1 molecule of N2O =
270x heat absorbed by 1 CO2 molecule
 Absorption of heat by 1 molecule of CH4 =
21x heat absorbed by 1 CO2 molecule
 Nitrous oxide is an ozone depleting
substance.

15.  CO2 accounts for more than 60% of the
GHGs released
Mainly released by power plants to produce
electricity and vehicles

16.  accounts for 35 per cent of the country's
overall GHG emissions
 4 terragrams (4x1000000000 kg) of
methane per hectare

17.  90%comes from agricultural
sector.

23.  In 100 years Antarctica will
completely melt and the ocean
levels will rise by 150 feet.
 1/6th of Bangladesh could be lost
permanently due to rise of water
level by just 1.5metres (5 feet).

25.  Recycle more by using recycling
bins, composting, etc.
 Solar Power
 Use compact flourescent bulbs and LEDs
 Use recycled paper
 Unplug unused electronics

26.  Choose vegetarian or vegan meals.
 Grow fast growing plants
 Use public transportation
 The right vehicle
 Ride a bicycle
 Keep your car tyres adequately
inflated

27. TRANSFORMATION
IT
STARTS
WITH
ONE.
Its NOW or NEVER. Your time starts NOW
