WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY IT IS!
THANK YOU FOR INVITING US
ON A BIKE RIDE, BIOMAN.
THANK YOU MATE! THE
PLEASURE'S ALL MINE.

HANG ON A SECOND... IS IT
DRIZZLING? I REALLY HOPE
THAT ISN'T THE CASE.
![Page 4: Bioman - Madhya Pradesh€¦ · natural disasters, melting of the polar ice, unusual weather patterns, extreme climates, and, according to scientists, a possible rise in the sea level](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071018/5fd16adf223a3503512d81b2/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
IT'S QUITE UNUSUAL.
IT NEVER RAINS IN SUCH
WEATHER AND THERE WAS
NO FORECAST OF
RAIN EITHER.
YOU'RE RIGHT. IT'S QUITE
UNUSUAL. BUT IT'S NOT A
MATTER OF CHANCE.
IT IS A RESULT OF ALL
OUR MISDEEDS.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
YOU ARE SCARING ME.
THAT'S GREAT,
IF IT BOTHERS YOU.

WELL, WHAT IS
IT THEN?
IT IS CLIMATE CHANGE.
THE OVERALL CLIMATE PATTERN
IN ALL THE PLACES AROUND THE
WORLD IS CHANGING. THANKS
TO A LOT OF HUMAN ACTIVITY.
TELL ME MORE.
I WANT TO KNOW THE
SCIENCE BEHIND IT.

SURE, YOU KNOW THAT THE SUNLIGHT
WARMS THE EARTH'S SURFACE AND
THE HEAT RADIATES BACK TO SPACE.
![Page 8: Bioman - Madhya Pradesh€¦ · natural disasters, melting of the polar ice, unusual weather patterns, extreme climates, and, according to scientists, a possible rise in the sea level](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071018/5fd16adf223a3503512d81b2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
MOST OF THIS OUTGOING HEAT IS ABSORBED BY A
LAYER OF GREENHOUSE GASES, WARMING UP THE
EARTH'S SURFACE TO A LIFE SUPPORTING AVERAGE
TEMPERATURE OF 15 DEGREE CELSIUS
(OR 59 DEGREE FAHRENHEIT).
![Page 9: Bioman - Madhya Pradesh€¦ · natural disasters, melting of the polar ice, unusual weather patterns, extreme climates, and, according to scientists, a possible rise in the sea level](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071018/5fd16adf223a3503512d81b2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
GREENHOUSE GASES THAT REMAIN SEMI PERMANENTLY
IN THE ATMOSPHERE AND DO NOT RESPOND TO
CHANGES IN THE TEMPERATURE ARE
'FORCING CLIMATE CHANGE'.
![Page 10: Bioman - Madhya Pradesh€¦ · natural disasters, melting of the polar ice, unusual weather patterns, extreme climates, and, according to scientists, a possible rise in the sea level](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071018/5fd16adf223a3503512d81b2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
GREENHOUSE GASES TEAR CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS WHICH ALLOW DIRECT SUNLIGHT
(RELATIVE SHORTWAVE ENERGY) TO REACH THE EARTH'S SURFACE.
AS THE SHORTWAVE ENERGY (THAT IN THE VISIBLE AND ULTRAVIOLET PORTION OF
THE SPECTRA) HEATS THE SURFACE, LONGER-WAVE (INFRARED) ENERGY (HEAT) IS
RERADIATED TO THE ATMOSPHERE. SOME OF THE MAJOR
GREENHOUSE GASES ARE CO , CH , N O, OZONE AND CFC'S2 4 2
CARBON DIOXIDE: PLANTS CONVERT CO TO PLANT MATERIAL THROUGH PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND LATER RELEASE IT 2
AS THE PLANTS DECOMPOSE. HOWEVER, HUMANKIND HAS INCREASED THE AMOUNT OF CARBON DIOXIDE
RELEASED BY BURNING COAL, OIL, NATURAL GAS AND WOOD METHANE.
![Page 11: Bioman - Madhya Pradesh€¦ · natural disasters, melting of the polar ice, unusual weather patterns, extreme climates, and, according to scientists, a possible rise in the sea level](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071018/5fd16adf223a3503512d81b2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
METHANE (CH4) IS A GREAT ABSORBER OF RADIATION.
HUMAN ACTIVITIES SUCH AS GROWING RICE, INCREASED USE OF
NATURAL GAS AND MINING OF COAL HAVE ADDED TO THE
ATMOSPHERIC CONCENTRATION OF GREENHOUSE GASES.
O3: OZONE, ANOTHER LETHAL GREENHOUSE GAS, IS CREATED BY
HUMAN PROCESSES LIKE EXHAUST EMISSIONS FROM AUTOMOBILES AND
POLLUTION FROM FACTORIES (AS WELL AS BURNING VEGETATION).
COAL
![Page 12: Bioman - Madhya Pradesh€¦ · natural disasters, melting of the polar ice, unusual weather patterns, extreme climates, and, according to scientists, a possible rise in the sea level](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071018/5fd16adf223a3503512d81b2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
N2O: NITROUS OXIDE IS PRODUCED BY MICROBIAL PROCESSES IN SOIL
AND FERTILIZERS CONTAINING NITROGEN, AS WELL AS SOME INDUSTRIAL
PROCESSES (FOSSIL FUEL-FIRED POWER PLANTS, NYLON PRODUCTION,
NITRIC ACID PRODUCTION AND VEHICULAR EMISSIONS).
![Page 13: Bioman - Madhya Pradesh€¦ · natural disasters, melting of the polar ice, unusual weather patterns, extreme climates, and, according to scientists, a possible rise in the sea level](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071018/5fd16adf223a3503512d81b2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
CFCS: CHLOROFLUOROCARBONS (CFCS) EMANATE FROM REFRIGERATORS,
AEROSOL PROPELLANTS AND CLEANSING SOLVENTS. THEY DESTROY THE
OZONE LAYER PROTECTING THE EARTH FROM ULTRA-VIOLET RADIATION.
SINCE THEY ARE ALSO A GREENHOUSE GAS, ALONG WITH OTHER LONG-LIVED
SYNTHESIZED GASES SUCH AS CF4 (CARBON TETRAFLUORIDE).
SF6 (SULFUR HEXAFLUORIDE) , THEY ARE OF CONCERN.
![Page 14: Bioman - Madhya Pradesh€¦ · natural disasters, melting of the polar ice, unusual weather patterns, extreme climates, and, according to scientists, a possible rise in the sea level](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071018/5fd16adf223a3503512d81b2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
ALL OF THIS IS RESULTING IN THE OVERALL RISE OF GLOBAL TEMPERATURE, WHICH IS CAUSING FREQUENT
NATURAL DISASTERS, MELTING OF THE POLAR ICE, UNUSUAL WEATHER PATTERNS, EXTREME CLIMATES, AND,
ACCORDING TO SCIENTISTS, A POSSIBLE RISE IN THE SEA LEVEL AND INUNDATION OF COASTAL AREAS IN THE
VERY NEAR FUTURE.
RISE IN SEA LEVEL

BIOMAN, THIS SEEMS CRAZY.
IS THIS THE DEAR END?
ISN'T THERE ANY WAY OUT?
SURE KIDS.
WE CAN STILL CHECK THIS
CATOSTROPHE IN TIME.

PLANTING TREES REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE
WE CAN STILL DO IT BY TAKING VARIOUS
MEASURES LIKE...

WE HAVE TO ACT FAST TO
SAVE OUR PLANET FROM
VANISHING INTO THE BLUE.
SURE THING, BIOMAN.
WE'LL DO IT WITH OUR...
