 GLOBAL+WARMING
 An average increase in the
temperature of the atmosphere near
the Earth’s surface and in the
troposphere, which can contribute to
changes in global climate patterns
 Used to maintain
temperature for
vegetation in low
temperature areas.
 Theory – Partially
transparent glass
which radiate heat
back repeatedly and
confines it in that
area.
 Effect – Required
temperature
maintained.

Earth’s Atmospheric Gases
Nitrogen (N2) Non-
Greenhouse
Oxygen (O2)
Gases
Argon (Ar)
>99%
Water vapor (H2O)

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Greenhouse

Gases
Methane (CH4)

Other gases like <1%

Nitrous oxide, NF3, O3, CFC
 Burning of fossil
fuels (Coal/Crude oil)
◦ Power plants
 generate electricity
◦ Industrial processes
(manufacture of cement,
steel, aluminium)
◦ Transportation
 Fuels for
transports (LPG,
kerosene, fuel oil)
 Population Explosion  Depletion Of
Natural Resources

 Deforestation

 Rapid Industrialization
 Increase in sea levels.
 Increase in the intensity of extreme
weather events
 Melting Of Polar Ice Caps
 Rise in Sea Levels
 Throw global ecosystems out of balance
 Will endanger several species of animals
 Mass species extinctions
 Increases in the ranges of disease
vectors
Example
Sun

 97% carbon dioxide

 3% nitrogen
 Water & sulfuric
acid clouds Venus
 Temperature:
860°F
 Carpooling
 Not leaving electrical appliances turned on
 Planting Trees
 Recycling
 Seeding Oceans with Iron
 Mitigation
 Geo-engineering
 Before the warming: Peru,
1980

 After the warming: Peru,

2002
 Before the warming:
Kilimanjaro, 1970

 After the warming:

Kilimanjaro, 2000
 Before the warming:
Nepal, 1978

 After the warming:

Nepal, 2004
 Before the warming:
Glacier National Park, USA
1932

 After the warming:

Glacier National Park, USA
1988
 Even more obvious
from space, this
pictures of the North
Polar cap from NASA
show a melting of
25% in 25 years:
 Global warming is happening
 Most warming is probably the result of

human activities
 There will be mostly negative repercussions

from global warming

 Steps should be taken by educating everyone

about what is going on.
