HOW GLOBAL WARMINGS

CAUSED

By greenhouse effects

The buildup of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, mainlyfrom your fossil fuel emissions, is the most significant

human cause of global warming. Carbon dioxide is

released every you burn something, be it a car, airplane

or coal plant.

The buildup of carbon dioxide in theatmosphere, mainly from your fossil fuel

emissions, is the most significant human

cause of global warming. Carbon dioxide is

released every you burn something, be it a

car, airplane or coal plant.

2) Warmer waters and more hurricanes As thetemperature of oceans rises, so will the probability ofmore frequent and stronger hurricanes


10/31

3) Increased droughts and heat waves. Africa will receive the worstof it, with more severe droughts also expected in Europe. Water isalready a dangerously rare commodity in Africa, and according to theIntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, global warming willexacerbate the conditions and could lead to conflicts and war


11/31

Most of the effects ofanthropogenic global warmingwont be good. And these effectsspell one thing for the countries ofthe world: economicconsequences. Hurricanes causedo billions of dollars in damage,diseases cost money to treat andcontrol and conflicts exacerbate allof these

The ice caps melting is a four-pronged danger.probability and intensity of droughts andheat waves Although some areas of Earth willbecome wetter due to global warming, otherareas will suffer serious


13/31

The main causes of global

warming can be broadly

categorized into two groups -natural causes and

anthropogenic causes (causes

triggered byhumans).


14/31

Natural causes of global warming ,

Such as the solar variation, feedback effect,

natural release of the methane gas, volcaniceruptions etc, don't cause much harm to theplanet. In fact, these natural causes play acrucial role in regulating the temperature of the

planet, and absence of these would haveresulted in freezing conditions on the planet,

thus making it virtually impossible for the lifeforms to survive.


15/31

The anthropogenic causes of global warming,

On the other hand, include several human activities which result

in accumulation of various green house gases in theatmosphere. These activities include pollution caused by

vehicles and industries, methane release triggered by mining

and cattle rearing, depletion of oxygen as a result of

deforestation, etc.

B

e a vegetarian Recycle

Use CFLs

Go local

Grow trees

Drive less

Carry reusable shopping bags


17/31

Eating fruits and vegetables is not only

healthy for your body, but it helps in

reducing greenhouse gas emissions to alarge extent too. Livestock are mainly fed

on corn, which requires ammonium nitrate

fertilizer to grow. To create this fertilizer,

large quantities of petroleum is used, thusleading to more greenhouse gas emissions

and global warming.


18/31

Recycling is very important so make

sure that you recycle plastic bottles,glass bottles, organic wastes in your

garden, etc. Also, while purchasing,

either of glass or paper, make sure thatyou buy recycled stuff, as it saves lots

of energy and prevents deforestation


19/31

One of the ways to stop global warming is to

replace the bulbs in yourhouse with CFL's. It will

save you a lot of money and at the same time,

save a hell lot of carbon dioxide too. If you arereally serious about this cause, then one of the

most effective actions to stop global warming that

you can take is to gift CFL's to your neighbors,

friends, colleagues, etc


20/31

Do you know how much energy

can be saved if you buy locally

produced products? For thesimple reason that

transportation involved with

importing goods can be greatly

cut down. So, reduce yourcarbon footprint by going local!


21/31

Do you know that a single tree can absorbas much as one ton of carbon dioxide? So,

one of the simplest actions to stop global

warming that you can take is to plant treesin your garden.


22/31

To reduce carbon dioxide

emissions, drive less. Go in

for car pooling withcolleagues for traveling to

work. Take your cycle or walk

down, if you have to go

somewhere near and travel bypublic transport, whenever

you can.


23/31

Another of the stop global warming tips is,

instead of taking a disposable shopping bag

from every shop you make purchases from,carry a reusable shopping bag. It will reduce

wastage and the resultant carbon dioxide,

methane emissions as well as

environmental pollution.


24/31

The future predictions if global warming

continues is that

1)More Floods

2)Infectious disease spreads

3)Degraded water quality

4)More frequent and more intense heat waves,

droughts, and tropical cyclones


25/31

MORE FLOODS

Projected adverse impacts basedon

models include . . . a widespreadincrease in the risk offlooding for

human settlements (tens of millions

of inhabitants in settlements

studied) from both increasedheavyprecipitation events and sea level

rise."


26/31

Degraded water quality: "Projected

climate change will tend to degradewater quality throughhigher water

temperatures and increased

pollutant load from runoff and

overflows of waste facilities."


27/31

Increased spread ofinfectious diseases: "an

increase in the number of

people exposed to vector borne

diseases (e.g. cholera) and an

increase in heat stress


28/31

More frequent and more intense heat waves,

droughts, and tropical cyclones: "The

vulnerability ofhuman societies and naturalsystems to climate extremes is demonstrated

by the damage, hardship, and death caused by

events such as droughts, floods, heat waves,

avalanches, and storms."

In summary the best solution to stop globalIn summary the best solution to stop global

warming is to plant massive amounts of trees,warming is to plant massive amounts of trees,
