GLOBAL WARMING
MD.MAMUN HOSSAIN
ROLL-1507005
What is global warming?
Global warming is the theory that we as humans are
increasing greenhouse gases through
industrialization causing more gases and the
increasing the amount of sunlight that gets caught
and heats the earth.
Causes of global warming
 Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning
power plants.
 Carbon dioxide emissions from burning gasoline
for transportation.
our modern car culture and appetite for globally sourced
goods is responsible for about 33% emission of CO2
 Methane emissions from animals, agriculture such as rice
paddies, and arctic seabeds.
Deforestation ,especially tropical forests for wood, pulp and
farmland
Increase in usage of chemical fertilizers on croplands.
Greenhouse effect is responsible for global warming
Relation between greenhouse effect and
global warming
greenhouse gas pollution ,through its contribution to global
climate change, presents a significant threat to health and
environment upon which our economy and security depends
Green house effect
The world emits about 25.6 billion metric
tons of greenhouse gases annually .
Carbon dioxide stays in the
atmosphere for approximately
100 years, methane lasts about
12 years. Other greenhouse
gases last even longer.
As these gases continue to raise surface
temperatures, they trigger the release of even
greater quantities of carbon dioxide and methane
that are currently trapped in frozen Arctic
permafrost and tundra soils, further increasing
temperatures.
…potentially causing “runaway global warming”.
25.6 billion metric tons
CO2/yr
These greenhouse gases last a
long time…
Warming begets more warming…
A feedback mechanism ensues…

Effects of global warming
 Rise in sea levels worldwide
 More killer storms
massive crop failures
Widespread extinction of species
Disappearance of coral reefs
So how can each of us slow
global warming?
 Reduce ,reuse ,recycle
 Drive less or carpool
 Go solar
 By energy-efficient appliances
 Reduce waste
 Use less hot water
 Avoid products with lot of packaging
 Install a programmable thermostat
 Turn of electronic devices
 Plant a tree
 Look for renewable fuel option
 Replace filters on air conditioner and furnace
 go green
 Conserve water
 Eat less hamburger
 Eat naturally
 Reuse towels
 Check your tires
 Wrap your water heater in insulation
 Become part of the global warming community
 Become aware of your contribution
 Spread the awareness
 Replace regular incandescent light bulb
Because greenhouse gas emissions are tied very closely to our
energy consumption, using less fossil fuel based energy puts fewer
greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
This will help slow global warming.
Reduce our consumption of fossil fuels
Mountaintop removal for
coal mining
50% of electricity in the
world is produced from
coal.
(
We can make some simple substitution
Replacing just 1 incandescent light bulb with 1 compact
florescent bulb saves about 150 pounds of carbon
dioxide per year!
If every American household replaced just 5 high-use
incandescent bulbs with compact florescent lights we'd
collectively save more than $8 billion each year in energy costs
and we would prevent the greenhouse gases equivalent to the
emissions from nearly 10 million cars.
Small changes really add up
Replace your old refrigerator
with a new Energy Star:
Annual savings:
$90; 700 pounds CO2
Set your thermostat down a few
degrees in the winter
Annual savings:
$135; 1400 pounds CO2
Wash clothes in cold water only
Annual savings:
$70; 500 pounds CO2
Drive JUST 10 fewer miles per week
Annual savings:
$80; 520 pounds CO2
Reduce your garbage by 10%
through greater recycling or reduced
packaging
Annual savings:
1200 pounds CO2
Caulk and weather-strip around doors
and windows
Annual savings:
$80; 650 pounds CO2
Blowing up your world
How many of you walked, bicycled or
took public transportation to get to
school today, instead of coming by
private automobile?
Our reliance on cars that burn fossil fuels
is one of the major causes of increased
levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
and it is the primary cause of urban smog.
Blowing up your world
How many of you, when you drink a
soft drink, throw the container into the
garbage?
Throwing away containers of any kind wastes
energy and resources and adds to our waste
problem. Many towns are running out of landfill
space.
Blowing up your world
 How many of you, when you go to a store,
get a bag for your purchases, even if you
have only one or two small items to carry?
Making paper and plastic bags uses
energy and resources. The bags add to our
litter and waste problems, and plastic is not
biodegradable. Recycling is not the best
answer because collecting and recycling
materials requires energy. Instead, carry a
reusable cloth bag or a knapsack with you.
Blowing up your world
How many of you eat take-out or cafeteria
food that is served in foam or plastic
containers?
Polystyrene and other plastic containers
are made from precious petrochemicals,
do not decompose in landfills, and
release toxic gases when they are
burned in incinerators.
Blowing up your world
How many of you use handkerchiefs
instead of tissues and use cloth
towels instead of paper towels?
Paper comes from trees. The more of
it we use, the more trees that are cut
down 2 pts d
Our take-home message…
Each of us must take steps to protect
our Earth's climate by stopping global
warming

Editor's Notes

  1. In examining global warming, we will be looking at questions such as  Is the world getting warmer?  If so, are the actions of mankind to blame for earth’s temperature increases?  What can or should be done about global warming?  Are the potential resolutions to global warming worth the cost to implement them? 
  2. This is a big picture examination of the earth’s climate  The Earth was formed around 4.6 billion years ago  And was originally very hot  However, the Sun’s energy output was only 70% of what it is presently  Liquid water was present on the surface around 4.3 billion years ago
  3. The first life forms appeared ~3.8 billion years ago  Photosynthesis began 3.5-2.5 billion years ago,  which produced oxygen and removed carbon dioxide and methane, which are greenhouse gases, from the atmosphere  As a result, the Earth went through periods of cooling, commonly referred to as “Snowball Earth” and subsequent warming  Earth began its current cycles of glacial and interglacial periods around 3 million years ago 
  4. The temperature of the earth is directly related to the energy input from the Sun.  Some of the Sun’s energy is reflected by clouds.  Other is reflected by ice. The remainder is absorbed by the earth. 
  5.  If amount of solar energy absorbed by the earth is equal to the amount radiated back into space, the earth remains at a constant temperature. 
  6.  However, if the amount of solar energy is greater than the amount radiated, then the earth heats up. 
  7. This spike is due to the exponential increase in the use of fossil fuels over the last 150 years. Shown here are emissions of carbon from  gas,  solid,  liquid fuels, and  the total carbon emissions. 
  8. Despite this rapid increase in  carbon emissions, only about  half the carbon can be detected in the atmosphere. The remainder of the carbon dioxide is being dissolved in the oceans or incorporated into trees. 
  9. Future Carbon Emissions  will probably increase, especially in China and developing countries  This will result in a likely doubling of carbon dioxide levels within 150 years, due to  Increased coal usage  And increased natural gas usage,  although petroleum usage is likely to decrease due to increased cost and decreasing supply 
