The document discusses global climate change and its causes and effects. It notes that physical evidence of climate change includes rising global temperatures in air, land and water; ice loss from glaciers and ice sheets; and changing plant and animal distributions. The main cause of climate change is rising CO2 and methane levels that increase the greenhouse effect. This leads to melting ice sheets, altered biomes, sea level rise and effects like loss of coastal habitat and species extinction. China is the largest carbon dioxide emitter, producing 7.2 tons per person, while the US produces 17.3 tons per person. Addressing climate change requires a multidisciplinary approach across many fields like biology, chemistry, engineering and more.

Environmental issues
Environmental issues refer to negative human impacts on the environment, such as climate change, pollution, and waste. The document discusses several key environmental issues including population growth, rising CO2 levels, polar sea ice loss, and problems specific to Sri Lanka. Solutions to environmental issues require sustainability approaches. Various organizations address environmental issues at regional, national and international levels.
Natural Vegetation
1) The natural resources on Earth include air, water, soil, minerals, and living organisms. The lithosphere is the outer crust, the hydrosphere is all water, and the atmosphere is the air layer surrounding Earth. Where these interact is the biosphere, home to living organisms.
2) Air is a mixture of gases including nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. During respiration and photosynthesis, organisms and plants regulate oxygen and carbon dioxide levels. Burning fossil fuels releases pollutants like sulfur and nitrogen oxides that cause acid rain and particles that reduce visibility.
3) Water covers much of Earth and is found underground, in the air, and in oceans, rivers, lakes

Eco system
An ecosystem is a community of living and non-living components that interact as a system. If there are more consumers than producers, decomposers will have less food, releasing fewer nutrients back into the environment. This leads to an unbalanced ecosystem. Habitat destruction by human activity is mainly for harvesting natural resources and urbanization, rendering habitats unable to support species. Pollution is the introduction of contaminants that cause adverse environmental changes in the form of chemical, noise, heat or light pollution from both natural and foreign sources. Global warming is the rise in average atmospheric and ocean temperatures since the late 19th century due to factors like increased greenhouse gas emissions.

Green House Effect.pdf
Green House Gases
Greenhouse gases, including Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), are gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect. They allow the Sun's energy to reach Earth's surface but limit heat loss. Rising atmospheric concentrations of these gases could lead to higher temperatures and significant climate change. The next 50 years may see altered weather patterns, rising sea levels, and desert shifts. Human activity is dependent on climate, impacting food production, water supplies, construction, energy usage, transportation, and flood protection.
Causes
Greenhouse gases, which allow solar radiation to warm Earth during the day, contribute to its average temperature of 15 degrees Celsius. The increase in carbon dioxide concentration from 280 ppm (PPM means parts-per million and Percent means per hundred) in 1800 to 359 ppm in 1994 is attributed to increased use of fossil fuels, decreasing forest cover, and methane release from agricultural practices. If these levels continue to rise, global temperatures may reach 1 to 4 degrees Celsius higher by the mid21st century.Future Impact
Greenhouse warming is expected to cause severe stress on natural ecosystems, desert expansion, melting polar ice caps, ocean thermal expansion, more extreme weather events, and displacement of traditional agricultural areas. Rising sea levels are the most significant hazard, with glaciers melting and sea water expanding. This change will increase the frequency and severity of extreme events, affecting human health and living standards. The most vulnerable will experience the most severe impacts, necessitating concrete action to control pollution sources and mitigate potential impacts.
Environmental Awareness
Human activities, including urbanization, industrialization, and social structures, are posing ecological problems due to excessive use and misuse of natural resources. This imbalance affects energy budgets and climate change. To maintain ecological balance, mass awareness, afforestation, deforestation prevention, judicious resource use, pollution control, and environmentally respectful development is crucial, achieved through mass media, green marches, and environmental weeks.Salient Features of Environmental Awareness
Environmental education is crucial for controlling pollution, conserving resources, and maintaining ecological balance. NGOs play a vital role in educating people, particularly secondary school children. It covers various aspects of the environment, including atmosphere, earth, water, plants, animals, natural resource management, air, soil, and geological formations. It aims to create awareness, develop habits, promote values, and guide problem-solving and decision-making. It leads to positive attitudes and commitment of environment protection. It can be achieved by:
1. Gaining an understanding of the composition and operation of the inanimate natural system, as well as how it interacts with living things.
2. Realizing that all living things

Unit - I PPT.pptx
Man has gradually modified the environment to meet his needs, first through hunting and gathering, then agriculture and deforestation. Ancient societies recognized the importance of preserving the environment through religious rituals and worship of nature. Modern human activities like burning fossil fuels and industrialization are emitting greenhouse gases and pollutants, threatening the global environment through issues like rising temperatures, extinction of species, and degradation of air and water quality. Environmental degradation poses serious risks if not addressed through more sustainable practices that respect the self-regulatory mechanisms of the natural world.

- 18. There is still a considerable lack of awareness about the interrelated nature of all human activities and the environment. It is due to inaccurate and insufficient availability of information, especially in developing countries. Sensor based in situ data collection, remotely sensed data products, Geographical Information System based analysis etc., would enhance the precision and quality of environmental analysis. Besides, there is an urgent need to increase the public sensitivity to environment issues and involvement of various disciplines in solving environmental problems.
