    WHAT IS GLOBAL WARMING?
     Global warming relates to the
    increase in the average
    temperature of the Earth's
    surface that has been
    observed in recent years, and
    it is projected to continue. It
    is debated as to whether this
    is a natural occurrence or
    whether human activity has
    impacted or accelerated it. ...
    GREEN HOUSE EFFECT
     The greenhouse effect is the process by which
    absorption and emission of infrared radiation by gases
    in the atmosphere are purported to warm a planet's
    lower atmosphere and surface.
     Naturally occurring greenhouse gases have a mean
    warming effect of about 33 °C (59 °F).
     The major greenhouse gases are water vapor, which
    causes about 36–70 percent of the greenhouse effect;
    carbon dioxide (CO2), which causes 9–26 percent;
    methane (CH4), which causes 4–9 percent; and ozone
    (O3), which causes 3–7 percent. Clouds also affect the
    radiation balance, but they are composed of liquid
    water or ice and so have different effects on radiation
    from water vapour.
    CAUSES OF GLOBAL WARMING!
    • Global warming is caused by
    several things, which include man-
    made or anthropogenic causes, and
    global warming is also caused by
    natural causes.
    • There are many causes, some are as
    follows:
    • Natural Causes
    • Man-made Causes of Global
    Warming
    NATURAL CAUSES
     Natural causes are causes that
    are created by nature. One
    natural cause is a release of
    methane gas from arctic
    tundra and wetlands. Methane
    is a greenhouse gas and a
    very dangerous gas to our
    environment. A greenhouse
    gas is a gas that traps heat in
    the earth's atmosphere.
    Another natural cause is that
    the earth goes through a cycle
    of climate change. This
    climate change usually lasts
    about 40,000 years.
    MAN-MADE CAUSES
     Man-made causes probably do the
    most damage to our planet. There
    are many man-made causes of
    global warming. Pollution is one of
    the biggest man-made problems.
    Pollution comes in many shapes and
    sizes. Burning fossil fuels is one
    thing that causes pollution. Fossil
    fuels are fuels made of organic
    matter such as coal, or oil. When
    fossil fuels are burned they give off
    a green house gas called CO2. When
    you dig up the fossil fuels you dig
    up the methane as well letting it
    escape into the atmosphere. 
    EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING
     The effects of Global Warming can
    already be seen
    The IPCC's Third Assessment Report finds
    that in the last 40 years, the global average
    sea level has risen, ocean heat content has
    increased, and snow cover and ice extent
    have decreased, which threatens to
    inundate low-lying island nations and
    coastal regions throughout the world.
    o Effects of global warming already being
    felt on plants and animals worldwide
    o Global Warming Effects that will happen
    in the future:
    EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING ON
    EARTH IN FUTURE

     Global warming will have serious impacts on the environment


    and on society. Higher temperatures will cause a melting of ice in
    Greenland and Antarctica. This will accelerate the rise of sea
    level. The speed at which global warming is expected to occur in
    the 21st century is faster than most plant and animal species will
    be able to cope with. Some will adapt but others will suffer and
     Global warming
    may become will affect agriculture. New crops will be able to
    extinct.
    be grown in areas that are currently too cold to support them.
    However, more pests and diseases may offset any benefits higher
    temperatures may have. Water resources will also be affected. 
    EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING FELT ON
    PLANTS AND ANIMALS

     Global warming is having a


    significant impact on
    hundreds of plant and animal
    species around the world --
    although the most dramatic
    effects may not be felt for
    decades, according to a new
    study in the journal Nature.
    OZONE LAYER DEPLETION

     The ozone layer protects the Earth


    from the ultraviolet rays sent down
    by the sun.  If the ozone layer is
    depleted by human action, the
    effects on the planet could be
    catastrophic.
     Ozone is a bluish gas that is formed
    by three atoms of oxygen.  The
    form of oxygen that humans
    breathe in consists of two oxygen
    atoms, O2.  When found on the
    surface of the planet, ozone is
    considered a dangerous pollutant
    and is one substance responsible
    for producing the greenhouse
    effect.
    GLOBAL WARMING STATISTICS
     According to NASA, the hottest
    year on record was 2005, which
    matched 1998. 
     According to the National
    Climactic Data Centre estimates,
    $100 billion of damage was caused
    by hurricanes hitting the U.S.
    coast in 2005 alone.
     It is also projected that 15-37% of
    all plant and animal species could
    be wiped out by global warming
    by the year 2050, which could
    further cause considerable
    damage to our planet's ecosystem.
    PROJECTION OF GLOBAL WARMING

    Calculations of global warming prepared in or


    before 2001 from a range of climate models
    under the SRES A2 emissions scenario, which
    assumes no action is taken to reduce emissions
    and regionally divided economic development
    .
    The geographic distribution of surface
    warming during the 21st century calculated by
    the HadCM3 climate model if a business as
    usual scenario is assumed for economic
    growth and greenhouse gas emissions. In this
    figure, the globally averaged warming
    corresponds to 3.0 °C (5.4 °F).
    FUTURE PREDICTIONS
    Some basic predictions of global warming on temperature and sea
    level:
     Global mean temperature should increase by between 1.4 and 5.8 �C (2.5
    to 10�F).
     The Northern Hemisphere cover should decrease further, but the Antarctic
    ice sheet should increase.
     The sea level should rise by between 9 and 88 cm (3.5" to 35").
     Other changes should occur, including an increase in some extreme weather
    events.
     The United States is ranked nr.1 among large nations of being a global warming polluter
     The sooner we take heed of these statistics and implement changes that address global
    warming, the quicker we can reverse the disturbing trends and the less damage will
    occur to our planet and way of life.
    PRECAUTION TO PREVENT GLOBAL
    WARMING
     Useless usage of AC's and Refrigerators
    should be stopped because from them
    harmful rays cfc's are emitted which
    results in depletion of ozone layer and
    from that hole UV rays of Sun comes to
    the earth and cause many diseases to
    both animals and plants i.e. Skin cancer
    etc. , CNG and hydrogen operated
    vehicles should be used, more no. of trees
    should be planted, Chimneys in the
    Industries should be upgraded so that
    most of the effluents should get filtered
    down there.
