What is Global warming :-
• Global warming is the unusually rapid increase in
Earth's average surface temperature over the past
century primarily due to the greenhouse gases
released as people burn fossil fuels. ...
Temperatures are certain to go up further. Despite
ups and downs from year to year, global average
surface temperature is rising.
Causes of Global warming:-
 Humans are increasingly influencing the climate
and the earth's temperature by burning fossil
fuels, cutting down forests and farming livestock.
This adds enormous amounts of greenhouse
gases to those naturally occurring in the
atmosphere, increasing the greenhouse effect
and global warming.
Causes of Global warming :-
1.Greenhouse Gases Are the Main Reasons for Global
warming:-
• Although carbon dioxide receives the most press as the
culprit responsible for global warming, water vapor is
actually the most abundant greenhouse gas in the
atmosphere. Carbon dioxide still deserves its notoriety,
however. It may be a minor component of the atmosphere,
but its increased abundance is contributing to the warming
trend, according to NASA. Humans exacerbate the
problem by cutting trees that absorb this gas and by adding
other greenhouse gases to the mixture over and above
those that enter through natural processes. In addition, one
of the global warming causes might be astronomical.
2.Garbage:-
As trash breaks down in landfills, it releases methane and
nitrous oxide gases. Approximately eighteen percent of
methane gas in the atmosphere comes from waste disposal
and treatment.
3.Deforestation:-
Deforestation to use wood for building materials, paper and
fuel increases global warming in two ways -- the release of
carbon dioxide during the deforestation process and the
reduction in the amount of carbon dioxide that forests can
capture.
4.Fertilizers
• The use of nitrogen-rich fertilizers increases the amount of
heat cropland can store. Nitrogen oxides can trap up to 300
times more heat than carbon dioxide. Sixty-two percent of
nitrous oxide released comes from agricultural byproducts.
5.Oil Drilling
• Burn-off from the oil drilling industry impacts the carbon
dioxide released into the atmosphere. Fossil fuel retrieval,
processing and distribution accounts for roughly eight
percent of carbon dioxide and thirty percent of methane
pollution.
Solutions on Global
warming:-
 One of the most effective ways to prevent
global warming is to start using renewable
energy sources such as solar, geothermal,
wind and biomass, and stop using fossil
fuels. Use renewable energy resources to
supply power to your home.
1. Save tree :-
• Make sure to turn off taps while
brushing, go for shorter
showers and do not waster
water by cleaning your cars or
bikes. By following these easy
tips, all of us can play a
significant role in reducing
carbon dioxide emission and
preventing global warming, thus,
preserving the planet for future
generations.
2. Recycl Bin ♻ :-
• The aim is to cut down the

amount of carbon dioxide
released in the environment.
If you even recycle half of
the waste produced at
home, you can save up to
2000 pounds of CO2 every
year.
3.Switch to
renewable energy
• One of the most effective

ways to prevent global
warming is to start using
renewable energy
sources such as solar,
geothermal, wind and
biomass, and stop using
fossil fuels. Use
renewable energy
resources to supply
power to your home.
4.Drive less
• Air pollution is one of the
major factors that lead to an
increase in greenhouse
gases. Minimise the use of
cars and make use of public
transportation. Try walking,
biking or carpooling
whenever possible. If you
reduce the driving hours,
you will end up saving one
pound of CO2 for every mile.
5.Spread awareness
• Speak up about global

warming, its consequences,
causes and what steps we
can take to prevent global
warming with your friends,
family and colleagues. Use
the power of social media to
voice out your concerns
about climate change.
 Effects of Global warming:-
• Global warming stresses ecosystems
through temperature rises, water
shortages, increased fire threats, drought,
weed and pest invasions, intense storm
damage and salt invasion, just to name a
few. Some of Australia's great natural
icons, such as the Great Barrier Reef, are
already threatened.
1. Rising Sea levels :-
• Increased ocean temperatures are melting
glaciers and ice caps all over the world. Melted
ice increases the volume of water in our oceans.
Warmer temperatures also result in the
expansion of the water's mass, which causes sea
levels to rise, threatening low-lying islands and
coastal cities.
2. Hotter day's :-
• 2015 was the hottest year on record, the
previous record was broken in 2014, and 2016 is
expected to set a new record for the third year in
a row. In the past few years records have being
broken for longest heatwaves and the Bureau of
Meteorology has added purple and magenta to
the forecast map for temperatures up to 54°C.
etc....
 Conclusion :-
• The 'Conclusion' confirms that global
warming is the major challenge for our global
society. There is very little doubt that global
warming will change our climate in the next
century. ... If implemented now, a lot of the
costs and damage that could be caused by
changing climate can be mitigated.
Thank you....!
