Introduction

• Global warming refers to the rising average temperature of Earth's atmosphere and oceans, which began to increase in the late 19th century and is projected to continue rising.

• The Earth's average surface temperature, expressed as a linear trend, rose by 0.74±0.18 °C over the period 1906–2005.

• Currently global warming has lead to a great extent resulting in tremendous changes in the earth.

History of earth • Earth formed ~4.6 billion years ago

originally very hot

• Sun’s energy output only 70% of present

• Liquid water present ~4.3 billion years ago

• Much of the earth’s early history erased during late heavy bombardment (~3.9 billion years ago )

• Deforestation

• Green house gasses

• Chloro - fluoro carbons

• Combustion of fossil fuels

Major CauseAir pollution

• Excessive Use Of Automobiles

• Hazardous Industrial Gases

• Thermal Power Plants

• Smoke And Fumes

Effects of global warming • Melting ice : melting ice caps will throw the

global ecosystem out of balance.

• Flooding :represents one of the most

dangerous hazards to human settlements and is

one of the most potentially momentous impacts

of global warming.

• Hurricane :ocean temperature is a key factor for

hurricane formation

• Smog :A powerful combination of vehicular

fumes, ground-level ozone, airborne industries.

Facts • Without the atmosphere to create a greenhouse-

type effect, the average temperature on Earth would be just 5° Fahrenheit (F).g

• According to NASA studies, average temperatures around the world have increased 1.4° F since 1880, with most of the change occurring in recent decades.f

• As Arctic ice rapidly disappears, scientists believe the Arctic will experience its first ice-free summer as early as the year 2040.f

• Between the years 1961 and 1997, the world’s glaciers lost 890 cubic miles of ice.b

Facts• Fossil fuel burning currently adds nearly six billion

tons of CO2 to the atmosphere every year. Only half of this CO2 is removed by forests and oceans.e

• Cars amount to three-quarters of all transportation emissions. At the current rate, the world will be driven on by more than a billion cars in 2030 and a billion more by 2050.g

• Scientists estimate that just 20,000 to 25,000 polar bears still survive in the wild.g

• The earth’s atmosphere now contains 40% more CO2 than before the Industrial Revolution.g

Why is global warming a concern ?

• The Rapid Rise In Greenhouse Gases Is A Problem Because It Is Changing The Climate Faster Than Some Living Things May Be Able To Adapt.

• historically, earth’s climate has regularly shifted Back And Forth Between Temperatures Like Those We See Today ..

• Now, With Concentrations Of Greenhouse Gases Rising, earth’s remaining ice sheets (such as greenland and Antarctica)

• As The Mercury Rises, The Climate Can Change In Unexpected Ways.
