The project analyzed global warming by examining its causes, effects, and potential solutions. It involved researching the topic through scientific reports and newspaper articles. The analysis found that burning fossil fuels and deforestation have increased greenhouse gas levels and caused the planet to warm. This warming leads to issues like rising sea levels and more extreme weather. However, addressing it requires collective action like using renewable energy and restoring forests.
Global warming is caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere from human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation. This traps heat and causes the planet to warm. Effects of global warming include climate change, rising sea levels, changes to water availability, and increased health risks from the spread of diseases. Scientists agree that human activities are the dominant cause of global warming since the mid-20th century based on extensive peer-reviewed research. Ways to prevent further global warming include reducing greenhouse gas emissions through policies, more sustainable energy sources, and changes to transportation and land use.
Global Warming: Effect on Living Organisms, Causes and its SolutionsDr. Amarjeet Singh
In the present scenario many scientists, researchers
and environmentalists are expressing their deep concerns
about the overall changes. For continuous production of
Electricity Fossil and Fuels are being used. The burning of
these fuels produces gases like carbon dioxide, methane and
nitrous oxides which lead to global warming. The main cause
of global warming can be unsustainable human activities that
increase the accumulation of greenhouse gases. The hazard of
global warming is continuously causing major damage to the
Earth's environment. Most human beings are still unaware of
global warming and do not consider it to be a big problem in
the future. Living Organisms have to make efforts to
maintain health by recognizing and resolving abnormal
situations such as the presence of invading microorganisms.
Here we outline the effect on living organisms, causes and
how we can overcome it.

Global warming is caused by both natural phenomena and human activities that increase greenhouse gases. Naturally, solar activity, forest fires, and melting permafrost release carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere. However, the primary cause is human emissions from burning fossil fuels for energy and transportation as well as deforestation. If unchecked, global warming will have severe consequences like rising sea levels from melting ice caps and changes to weather and agriculture threatening many species with extinction. Solutions require reducing greenhouse gas emissions through alternatives to fossil fuels and adapting to the impacts of climate change already occurring.
Climate change is caused by both natural factors and human activities like burning fossil fuels. Scientists use observations and models to understand past and predict future climate change. Climate change is already affecting different regions in the form of extreme weather, rising sea levels, and threats to animals and humans. Addressing climate change requires global cooperation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through initiatives like adopting renewable energy and setting emissions standards. The UN works to facilitate international agreements like the Paris Agreement to coordinate a global response to this urgent issue.

Weather What causes weather changes Today we’re going to find out about how weather works and what its components are. These are/include temperature, atmospheric pressure, cloud formation, wind, humidity and rain. A small change to any of these conditions can create a different weather pattern
Global warming is caused by human emissions of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane from the burning of fossil fuels. These gases trap heat in the atmosphere and have raised atmospheric temperatures to their highest levels in 650,000 years. A UN group of scientists reports that the impacts of warming include melting glaciers, rising seas, and disrupted wildlife. While some warming is natural, human activity cannot be excluded as the dominant cause of warming seen in recent decades. Reducing emissions through clean energy and planting trees can help mitigate the effects of climate change.
Global warming is caused primarily by human emissions of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane. These emissions are warming the planet at an unprecedented rate, leading to consequences like rising sea levels, more extreme weather, and species extinction. While some skeptics deny the science or argue the impacts will not be severe, most scientists warn that immediate action is needed to reduce emissions and avoid catastrophic climate change. Individual actions to reduce our carbon footprints and support political solutions can help address the global climate crisis.
Global warming is caused by increased levels of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere from human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation.

Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptxRayLetai1
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

7. INTRODUCTION
Global warming refers to the long-term increase in the Earth's average surface
temperature, primarily as a result of human activities such as the burning of fossil
fuels and deforestation. Greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide and methane,
trap heat from the sun in the Earth's atmosphere and cause the temperature to
rise. This warming has been observed for over a century, and scientists are now
more certain than ever that human activities are the primary cause of this
warming.
The effects of global warming are widespread and include rising sea levels, more
frequent and severe heatwaves and storms, changes in precipitation patterns, and
altered growing seasons. These changes are having a significant impact on the
natural world, as well as on human societies and economies. For example, warmer
temperatures are leading to the extinction of many species, and are also making it
more difficult for farmers to grow crops

8. RESEARCH WORK
Green House Effect
While other planets in the solar system of the Earth are either roasting hot or bitterly cold, Earth's surface has relatively mild, steady
temperatures. Earth enjoys these temperatures because of its atmosphere, which is the thin layer of gases that cover and protect the
planet. However, 97 % of climate scientists and researchers agree that humans have changed the Earth's atmosphere in dramatic ways
over the past two centuries, resulting in global warming. To understand global warming, it is first necessary to become familiar with
the greenhouse effect. As Fig.1 depicts, the natural greenhouse effect normally traps some portion of heat in such a way that our
planet is safe from reaching freezing temperatures while human enhanced greenhouse effect leads to global warming. This is due to
burning of fossil fuels which increase the amount of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane and oxides of nitrogen) present in
the atmosphere
9. GREENHOUSE GASES
There are many greenhouse gases which are mainly emitted by human activity. The
first and foremost in the list is carbon dioxide. Excessive burning of fossil fuels like
coal and oil is the major factor for producing this gas. Moreover, deforestation i.e.
removal of trees for acquiring lands also causes large amount of carbon dioxide in
the atmosphere. Cement manufacture also contributes carbon dioxide to
atmosphere when calcium carbonate is heated generating lime and carbon dioxide.
The second culprit gas is methane, commonly known as natural gas. It is produced
as a result of agricultural activities such as livestock digestion, paddy rice farming
and use of manure. Methane is also produced due to improper management of
waste. Nitrous oxides are generated mainly by fertilizers. Moreover, fluorinated
gases such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are chiefly a result of various industrial
processes and refrigeration [5], [6]. Fig.4 shows pictorially the distribution of
greenhouse gases. These gases are playing their negative part in increasing the
havoc of global warming. They are continuously causing an increase in the earth’s
temperature.
10. EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING
Predicting the consequences of global warming is one of the most difficult tasks faced by the climate
researchers. This is due to the fact that natural processes that cause rain, snowfall, hailstorms, rise in sea
levels is reliant on many diverse factors. Moreover, it is very hard to predict the size of emissions of
greenhouse gases in the future years as this is determined majorly through technological
advancements and political decisions. Global warming produces many negative effects some of which
are described here. Firstly, extra water vapour which is present in the atmosphere falls again as rain
which leads to floods in various regions of the world. When the weather turns warmer, evaporation
process from both land and sea rises. This leads to drought in the regions where increased evaporation
process is not compensated by increased precipitation. In some areas of the world, this will result in
crop failure and famine particularly in areas where the temperatures are already high. The extra water
vapour content in the atmosphere will fall again as extra rain hence causing flood. Towns and villages
which are dependent on the melting water from snowy mountains may suffer drought and scarcity of
water supply. It is because the glaciers all over the world are shrinking at a very rapid rate and melting
of ice appears to be faster than previously projected. According to Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC), about one-sixth of the total population of the world lives in the regions
which shall be affected by a decrease in melting water. The warmer climate will likely cause more heat
waves, more violent rainfall and also amplification in the severity of hailstorms and thunderstorms.
Rising of sea levels is the most deadly affect of global warming, the rise in temperature is causing the
ice and glaciers to melt rapidly. This will lead to rise of water levels in oceans, rivers and lakes that can
pilot devastation in the form of floods . As evident from , temperature anomalies are projected to
increase in coming years. Before, the 20th century, the situation was well under control but the
beginning of the current century, the situation started to worsen .This was all due to increase in global
warming majorly due to the fact that new industries and power houses started operation and emitted
harmful gases which cause the planet to heat up
13. ANALYSIS
❖ An analysis on a global warming project would involve assessing the current state of the problem, identifying the causes and effects of
global warming, and evaluating potential solutions for reducing its impact.
❖ Firstly, the analysis would assess the current state of global warming, including the trends in temperature, sea level, and extreme
weather events. It would also review the latest research and data on the subject, such as that from the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC) and other reputable scientific organizations.
❖ Secondly, the analysis would identify the causes of global warming, which primarily include the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation.
The analysis would explore the role of human activities in releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and the resulting warming.
❖ Thirdly, the analysis would examine the effects of global warming on the natural world, as well as on human societies and economies.
The analysis would explore the impacts of global warming on different regions and industries, such as agriculture, tourism, and
infrastructure.
❖ Lastly, the analysis would evaluate potential solutions for reducing the impact of global warming. This would include a review of policies
and technologies that have been proposed or implemented to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote the use of renewable
energy. It would also examine the potential for carbon capture and storage, as well as reforestation and afforestation, to reduce
atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.
❖ It's important to note that the analysis should also consider the economic, social and political aspects of the problem and the potential
solutions.
