 DEFINITION :
• Global warming is the observed and projected
increases in the average temperature of
Earth's atmosphere and oceans, Climate
change is any substantial change in Earth’s
climate that lasts for an extended period of
time.
Definition for global warming: Temp. Increase in the last 150 years
Mainly Causes of Global warming:
Almost 100% of the observed temperature increase over the last 50 years has been
due to:

*The higher the concentration of green house

gases like carbon dioxide methane, water
vapor and ozone in the atmosphere, the more
heat energy is being reflected back to the Earth

The emission of carbon dioxide into the environment mainly

from burning of fossil fuels (oil, gas, petrol, kerosene, etc.) has
been increased dramatically over the past 50 years, see graph
below.
Fig. 1: Cause for global warming: Carbon dioxide emissions in million
tons per year over the last 200 years
Principal country contributed of Global warming:

If we take into account CO2 emissions from deforestation

and methane emissions from rice fields when trying to
estimate how much each country has contributed to global
warming, we find that developing countries have
contributed more than previously thought.
For example Germany counts 82 million inhabitants against
1 billion 2 hundreds millions in India; however the Germany
consumes petroleum two times more than India.

on the "Kyoto gas" emissions in the period 1890 - 2000.
The effect of global warming:

There are two major effects of global warming:

• Increase of temperature on the earth by about 3°

to 5° C (5.4° to 9° Fahrenheit) by the year 2100.
• Rise of sea levels by at least 25 meters (82 feet)
by the year 2100.
Changes in temperature and precipitation patterns
increase the frequency, duration, and intensity of
other extreme weather events, such as floods,
droughts, heat waves, and tornadoes. Other effects
of global warming include higher or lower
agricultural yields, further glacial retreat, reduced
summer stream flows, species extinctions. As a
further effect of global warming, diseases like
malaria are returning into areas where they have
been extinguished earlier.
How to make face against the Global warming:
• By investing in renewable energy and energy efficiency, as well as
increase the efficiency of the cars we drive, we can take important
steps to reducing our dependence on oil and other fossil fuels that
are contributing to the threat of global warming.

• By using energy more efficiently and using more renewable energy

sources, such as wind, solar, geothermal, and bio-energy, we would
significantly reduce our emissions of heat-trapping gases, like
carbon dioxide (CO2,) methane, and nitrous oxide.

• using more major appliances that comply with new or updated

standards. Clothes washers, dishwashers, water heaters, furnaces,
and boilers all comply with these standards. new standards for air
conditioners took effect that increased efficiency by 23% over the
old standard. This will result in less need for medium-sized power
plants in the future. Further progress and gains can be made when
it comes to commercial equipment like refrigerators, heaters,
furnaces, and public lighting
 Conclusion:

The issue of global warming is a complex topic, due to

the controversy over whether there is really a
legitimate concern or not. In addition, there are
varying opinions on what to do or not do about it,
coming from different countries, different treaties,
and even from different political figures. However if
there are the strong will to change from politician ,
the conscience from people about dangerous
situation concerning global warming and
intellectual integrity from Scientifics about this
subject we can make our planet the most beautiful
place to live.
