Global warming refers to the average increase in Earth's temperature due to greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide trapping heat in the atmosphere. Burning fossil fuels releases these gases. Effects include more extreme weather, melting Arctic ice and permafrost, rising sea levels that threaten coastal areas and islands, and disruption of ecosystems. International agreements like the Kyoto Protocol aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate global warming impacts. Individual actions are also important to address this issue.

3. What is Global
Warming?
•Global warming is when the earth heats up.
•It happens when greenhouse gases
(carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxide,
and methane) trap heat and light from the
sun in the earth’s atmosphere, which
increases the temperature.
•This hurts many people, animals, and
plants. Many cannot take the change, so
they die.

4. What is global warming ?
Global warming refers to an average increase in the
Earth's temperature, which in turn causes
changes in climate.

temperature?

7. Wrong answer

8. Correct answer

9. What causes global
warming?
• Many things cause global warming. One thing
that causes global warming is electrical pollution.
Electricity causes pollution in many ways, some
worse than others.
• In most cases, fossil fuels are burned to create
electricity. Fossil fuels are made of dead plants
and animals. Some examples of fossil fuels are
oil and petroleum.
• Many pollutants (chemicals that pollute the air,
water, and land) are sent into the air when fossil
fuels are burned. Some of these chemicals are
called greenhouse gasses.

10. What are the causes of global
warming ?
Man-made
causes
Natural
causes

12. The greenhouse effect
• The greenhouse
effect is when the
temperature rises
because the sun’s
heat and light is
trapped in the
earth’s
atmosphere. This
is like when heat is
trapped in a car.

13. Greenhouse gases
• Greenhouse
gases are
gases are in
the earth’s
atmosphere
that collects
heat and light
from the sun.

20. Effect on Global
Warming ?
Earth’s surface to a new high of 14.57 degree
centigrade.
 Rise in temperature was marked by unusually severe
weather in many parts of the world.
 The irony of this global warming is that while it could
reduce climatic changes by drying up rains.
 It could also raise sea levels with disastrous
consequences for islands and low- level coastal areas.
i. Serve Changes in
Weather :

21. II.Impact on Arctic
Ecosystem :-
 The ecosystem which sustains the
livelihood of Arctic residents is melting
the ice as temperature rise.
The layer of permafrost is melting,
causing an inland lake to drain into the
ocean and killing fresh water fish.

22. III.Erratic Rain
 People around the world will experience climate
changes and the erratic rainfall China to Africa will
jeopardize the lives of many people.
 IT is now nearly a decade since the IPCC
accepted that human activates were changing the
world’s climate.
 The most severe warming is seen in the Arctic
were the ice pack is shrinking, and thinning,
according to the US experts.

23. IV. More storms, foods,
droughts, submergence of
islands :-
 Scientists have warned that a warmer world will
mean more storms, floods, droughts, and snowfalls.
 The countries that have to suffer most if the Hague
talks fail are the small countries.
Islands in danger of being submerged, from the Pacific
to the Caribbean are panicky.
The lives of million people will be affected by these
negotiations.

24. V. Ozone Getting Depleted
 Pollution from transport is the fastest growing source of carbon
dioxide emissions since the industrial revolutions
 Carbon emission levels responsible for 70 percent of global warming
vary widely among nations.
 Due to these emissions the ozone layer that provides a protective
shield over the Earth from the harmful ultravoilent radiation is getting
depleted.
 Another greenhouse gas, methane, has more than doubled.
RESULT OF THIS, VERY HOT WEATHER LIKE
THE SAME IN DESERT REGION OR MORE THAN
THAT

25. VI. Major Climate
Change
 If we do not act to reduce the emission of these heat-
trapping gases, it is predicted that global temperature
could rise 2 degree to 6degree Fahrenheit in the next 100
yrs. Just a few degree difference in the global average
temperature can mean a major climate change.
 The amt o greenhouse gases that are released could be
controlled through prudent planning and implementation
of environmental priorities. Man has to act now to insure
against the risk of destructive future warming by reducing
the greenhouse gas emissions.

26. Resolutions

27. Kyoto protocol
The Kyoto Protocol is an agreement under which
industrialized countries will reduce their collective emissions
of greenhouse gases by 5.2% compared to the year 1990
