Global warming is the phenomenon of a gradual increase in the
temperature near the earth’s surface. This phenomenon has been
observed over the past one or two centuries. This change has
disturbed the climatic pattern of the earth. However, the concept of
global warming is quite controversial but the scientists have
provided relevant data in support of the fact that the temperature
of the earth is rising constantly.
What is Global Warming?
There are several causes global warming, which
have a negative effect on humans, plants and
animals. These causes may be natural or might
be the outcome of human activities. In
order to curb the issues, it is very important to
understand the negative impacts of global warming.
how does global warming works
global warming is the long term
heating of earth due to human
activities.
harmfull gases like co2,cfc,co,so2 etc
and methane gas which leads to green
house effect .
this gases trap sun light and increase
the temperature of earth .
What causes Global warming?
Human Cause

Most scientists blame industrialization:
Automotive Industry (low fuel economy)
Oil companies(fossil fuels)
Power plants (coal)
Agri-Business(biofuels,deforestation,cattle
producing methane)
Logging industry (deforestation)
Greenhouse
Effect
When the sunlight hits the earth some
of the heat is released into the space
while some stays in earths
atmosphere

Arctic sea ice is melting at a rate of
almost 13% per decade.
The oldest and thickest ice in the Arctic
has declined by a stunning 95% in past
three decades.
Global average sea level has
risen by about
7–8 inches since 1900
If Greenland ice sheet
melts, global sea level
rises by 20 feet!

Drought, heat, and insect attacks
promote severe forest fires.
Ideal condition = Desiccating heat + lack
of precipitation
Warmer temperatures --> insects
outbreaks--> feeding on hosts --> dry fuel
The rise in average
surface ocean temperatures in many
tropical regions by almost 2°F (1°C)

Corals are unable to build calcium
carbonate skeletons due to high CO2
Largest bleaching event - 16% of the
reefs in the world damaged and killed
1,000-year old corals.

Effects on Plants and Animals
The effects of global
warming on the Earth's
ecosystems are expected
to be profound and
widespread. A Study
suggested that 1 in every
3 species of plant and
animal are at risk of
extinction by 2070 due to
climate change.
Higher Death Rates
Today's scientists point to climate change as "the biggest
global health threat of the 21st century." It's a threat that
impacts all of us—especially children, the elderly, low-
income communities, and minorities—and in a variety of
direct and indirect ways. Deaths occur each year due to
direct impacts and the indirect effects of heat-exacerbated,
life-threatening illnesses, such as heat exhaustion,
heatstroke, and cardiovascular and kidney diseases.
