This document discusses global warming and its causes and effects. It defines global warming as a long-term rise in Earth's temperatures due to increased greenhouse gases from human activity since the Industrial Revolution. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide trap heat in the lower atmosphere, causing temperatures to be about 33°C warmer than they would be otherwise. Aerosols from volcanoes and pollution can have a cooling effect by reflecting sunlight, but models show they cannot account for current warming. Effects of global warming include sea level rise, extreme weather, ecosystem changes, and ocean acidification. While impacts are already occurring, the document argues renewable energy can provide most energy needs and avoid the worst effects of climate change if adopted more widely.

Global Warming is one of the biggest global problem.It is affecting us and the environment day by day.
The Presesentation consists of the causes of global warming, the effects and then finally will tell you the solutions of it so that we can save the earth and the environment.
Global Warming is the average rise in temperature of the Earth's atmosphere which results in climate change. this PPT showcace about Global Warming, it's causes, it's effects, some current facts, and precautions to control it.
Over millions of years, species become adapted to survive in the conditions in which they live. A stable climate supports this process and allows living things to thrive. If the climate changes quickly, organisms don’t have enough time to adapt to new conditions and may no longer be able to survive.

2. What is global warming?
Global warming is a long-term rise in the average temperature of the Earth's
climate system, an aspect of climate change shown by temperature
measurements and by multiple effects of the warming.The term commonly refers
to the mainly human-caused observed warming since pre-industrial times and its
projected continuation, though there were also much earlier periods of global
warming. In the modern context the terms global warming and climate change are
commonly used interchangeably but global warming more specifically relates to
worldwide surface temperature increases; while climate change is any regional or
global statistically identifiable persistent change in the state of climate which lasts
for decades or longer, including warming or cooling.
3. Greenhouse gases
The greenhouse effect is the process by which absorption and emission of
infrared radiation by gases in a planet's atmosphere warm its lower
atmosphere and surface. On Earth, an atmosphere containing naturally
occurring amounts of greenhouse gases causes air temperature near the
surface to be warmer by about 33 °C (59 °F) than it would be in their
absence. Without the Earth's atmosphere, the Earth's average
temperature would be well below the freezing temperature of water.
Human activity since the Industrial Revolution has increased the
amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, leading to increased
radiative forcing from CO2, methane, tropospheric ozone and nitrous
oxide.

5. Aerosols and soot
Global dimming, a gradual reduction in the amount of global direct
irradiance at the Earth's surface, was observed from 1961 until at least
1990. Solid and liquid particles known as aerosols, produced by
volcanoes and human-made pollutants, are thought to be the main
cause of this dimming.They exert a cooling effect by increasing the
reflection of incoming sunlight.This effect also causes droplets to be
of more uniform size, which reduces growth of raindrops and makes
the cloud more reflective to incoming sunlight, known as the Albrecht
effect. Indirect effects are most noticeable in marine stratiform clouds,
and have very little radiative effect on convective clouds. Indirect
effects of aerosols represent the largest uncertainty in radiative
forcing.

7. Solar activity
Since 1978, solar irradiance has been measured by satellites.
Climate models have been used to examine the role of the Sun in
recent climate change. Models are unable to reproduce the rapid
warming observed in recent decades when only taking into account
variations in solar output and volcanic activity.
Another line of evidence for the Sun's non-attributability is the
differing temperature changes at different levels in the Earth's
atmosphere. According to basic physical principles, the greenhouse
effect produces warming of the lower atmosphere (the troposphere),
but cooling of the upper atmosphere (the stratosphere). If solar
variations were responsible for the observed warming, warming of
both the troposphere and the stratosphere would be expected.

9. Effects
• Arctic sea ice decline, sea level rise, retreat of glaciers: Global warming has led
to decades of shrinking and thinning in a warm climate that has put the Arctic
sea ice in a precarious position, it is now vulnerable to atmospheric anomalies.
Projections of declines in Arctic sea ice vary. Recent projections suggest that
Arctic summers could be ice-free (defined as ice extent less than 1 million
square km) as early as 2025–2030. The sea level rise since 1993 has been
estimated to have been on average 2.6 mm and 2.9 mm per year ± 0.4 mm.
Additionally, sea level rise has accelerated from 1995 to 2015. Over the 21st
century, the IPCC projects for a high emissions scenario, that global mean sea
level could rise by 52–98 cm.
10.
11. • Extreme weather, extreme events, tropical cyclones:
Data analysis of extreme events from 1960 until 2010
suggests that droughts and heat waves appear
simultaneously with increased frequency. Extremely
wet or dry events within the monsoon period have
increased since 1980.Projections suggest a probable
increase in the frequency and severity of some
extreme weather events, such as heat waves.
12.
13. • Ecosystem changes, changes in ocean properties: In terrestrial ecosystems,
the earlier timing of spring events, as well as poleward and upward shifts in
plant and animal ranges, have been linked with high confidence to recent
warming. It is expected that most ecosystems will be affected by higher
atmospheric CO2 levels, combined with higher global temperatures.
Expansion of deserts in the subtropics is probably linked to global warming.
The physical effect of global warming on oceans include an increase in
acidity, and a reduction of oxygen levels (ocean deoxygenation). Increases in
atmospheric CO2 concentrations have led to an increase in dissolved CO2
and thus ocean acidity, measured by lower pH values. Ocean acidification
threatens damage to coral reefs, fisheries, protected species, and other
natural resources of value to society. Without substantial actions to reduce
the rate of global warming, land based ecosystems are at risk of major
ecological shifts, transforming composition and structure.

15. Can we stop it?
The devastating impacts of climate change are clear. Our world is warmer
than ever before, and people and wildlife are already suffering the
consequences. But that’s nothing compared to what we’re leaving future
generations if these trends continue. It’s time to stop the destruction. It’s
time for an energy [r]evolution. With technology already available, renewable
energy sources like wind, solar, and geothermal can provide 96 percent of our
electricity and 98 percent of heating demand — the vast majority of U.S.
energy use. Still, we need more. We’ve got great opportunities today to build
a cleaner energy system in time to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.
Big companies like Apple and Google are setting great examples, committing
to 100 percent renewable energy and making record-breaking investments in
wind and solar. And across the country, everyday Americans are joining the
energy revolution by through projects like community solar.
