This document discusses the greenhouse effect and global warming. It defines the greenhouse effect as a natural process by which gases like carbon dioxide trap heat in the lower atmosphere, maintaining Earth's temperature. However, human activities like burning fossil fuels are enhancing the greenhouse effect by emitting more of these gases. This enhanced greenhouse effect is causing global warming, defined as the long-term rise in Earth's average surface temperature. The effects of global warming include rising sea levels from melting ice caps, more extreme weather, melting permafrost releasing methane, and threats to biodiversity.
Global warming is a large effect of human impact on the planet. It is already a big problem and is going to be even bigger if it isn't stopped. These are some facts about global warming you probably would have wanted to know.
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.
This presentation includes the introduction to global warming and its hazardous impacts on the earth. It covers the effects of global warming on irrigation engineering as well.

Greenhouse effect and global warming
Earth’s atmosphere works something like a giant glass greenhouse. As the sun’s rays enter our atmosphere, most continue right down to the planet’s surface. As they hit the soil and surface waters, those rays release much of their energy as heat. Some of the heat then radiates back out into space.
However, certain gases in our atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, methane and water vapor, work like a blanket to retain much of that heat. This helps to warm our atmosphere. The gases do this by absorbing the heat and radiating it back to Earth’s surface. These gases are nicknamed “greenhouse gases” because of their heat-trapping effect. Without the “greenhouse effect,” Earth would be too cold to support most forms of life.
But there can be too much of a good thing. Carbon dioxide is released when we use fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and natural gas. We burn these fuels, made from the ancient remains of plants and animals, to run electricity-generating plants that power factories, homes and schools. Products of these fossil fuels, such as gasoline and diesel fuel, power most of the engines that drive cars, airplanes and ships.
By examining air bubbles in ice cores taken from Antarctica, scientists can go back and calculate what the concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have been throughout the last 650,000 years. The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been climbing to where today it is 30 percent greater than 650,000 years ago. That rise in carbon dioxide “is essentially entirely due to the burning of fuels,” Susan Solomon says. She’s a senior scientist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, in Boulder, Colo., and studies factors that affect climate.
Humans have further increased the levels of greenhouse gases in the air by changing the landscape. Plants take up carbon dioxide to make food in a process called photosynthesis. Once cut down, they can no longer take in carbon dioxide, and this gas begins building up in the air instead of fueling the growth of plants. So by cutting down trees and forests for farmland and other human uses, more carbon dioxide is also added into the atmosphere.
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.
Greenhouse a building made mainly of glass, with heat & humidity regulated for growing plants. The atmosphere acts like a glass in a greenhouse.
Atmosphere, like glass absorbs some of the long wave radiation emitted by earth and radiates the energy back to earth. In this way temperature of earth is maintained.
The atmosphere surrounding the earth in this manner plays a vital role in maintaining an even temperature on the earth’s surface.
A greenhouse is that body which allows the short wavelength incoming solar radiation to come in, but does not allow the long wave outgoing terrestrial infrared radiation to escape.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Honest Reviews of Tim Han LMA Course Program.pptxtimhan337
Personal development courses are widely available today, with each one promising life-changing outcomes. Tim Han’s Life Mastery Achievers (LMA) Course has drawn a lot of interest. In addition to offering my frank assessment of Success Insider’s LMA Course, this piece examines the course’s effects via a variety of Tim Han LMA course reviews and Success Insider comments.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
globalwarming and Greenhouseeffect and its drawbacks
1. THE GREEN HOUSE EFFECT
and
GLOBAL WARMING
GUNJAN KR SANU
the student of BBM 1st year of IEBC,PATNA
2. What is the Green House effect?
• This is the process by which
certain gases in the atmosphere
absorb infrared radiation to
maintain the temperature of
the Earth.
• Examples of Green House gases
include:
3. How does the Green House Effect work?
1. Energy from the sun beats down on the earth.
2. The atmosphere reflects about 30% of solar radiation back into space.
3. The other 70% (mainly ultraviolet and visible light), penetrates the
atmosphere and is absorbed and re-emitted by the green house gases,
warming the earth.
Heat re-radiated back to earth
Green House gases absorb radiation
4. How else can the Green House
effect occur?
The term “greenhouse effect” does not only
exist due to naturally occurring green house
gases; but also those which are emitted as a
result of human activity.

Fertilizers
Nitrogenous Oxides
Refrigerants
and aerosol
propellants

Combustion of
fossil fuels
Carbon Dioxide

Decomposing
Landfills
Methane
5. Using Carbon Dioxide as an example of the enhanced
GREEN HOUSE GAS EFFECT
Carbon Dioxide naturally
occurs due to:
• Decay of plants
• Volcanic Eruptions
• Waste product of aerobic
respiration in animals
NB: According to BBC, Carbon Dioxide is
responsible for 60% of the enhanced green
house effect.
But however, due to human
activity such as:
• Burning of fossil fuels for
transportation and electric
power generation in
homes, businesses and
factories.
• Deforestation for the
urbanization or agricultural
expansion.
The green house effect is enhanced
due to more Carbon Dioxide
present in the atmosphere due to
these activities, hence allowing
more of the sun’s radiation to be
absorbed and re-emitted. This has
caused the earth to become
excessively warmer.
6. What is Global
Warming?
This refers to the average increase
in the surface temperature of the
earth.
It is largely attributed to the
enhanced green house effect via
anthropogenic activity.
7. What are the effects of Global Warming?
Global Warming has wide-ranging effects such as:
1. Increased sea levels (e.g in the Maldives) – As
polar ice caps melt and fall into the sea, ocean
levels will rise. E.g Snow coverage has decreased
by 10% in the last 30 years in the Artic.
This can pose many other complications such as:
• Flooding of agricultural lowlands
• Saltwater intrusion into underground aquifers,
contaminating drinking water.
8. What are the effects of Global Warming?
2. Extreme Weather Conditions – As sea
surface temperature increases, this provides
optimum conditions for storm formation,
increasing the frequency and intensity of
natural disasters such as hurricanes. E.g
Super Storm Sandy
Further complications can arise as lives and
property are lost.
9. What are the effects of Global Warming?
3. Melting of Permafrost – This is permanently
frozen soil with high concentrations of methane
locked inside which one emitted, reiterates the
green house effect.
4. Threats to biodiversity – The extinction of biotic
species can occur.
