Climate Change?

Introduction
Climate change is not just an environmental concern; it is a multifaceted challenge that
impacts every aspect of our lives. From disrupting weather patterns to threatening ecosystems
and jeopardizing human well-being, the consequences are far-reaching.
It is imperative that we equip ourselves with knowledge and empower future generations with
environmental education to combat this crisis.

The Greenhouse
Effect

Designed by PoweredTemplate 8
What is the Greenhouse Effect?

The greenhouse effect is a natural process that

warms the Earth's surface by trapping heat in the
atmosphere.
It plays a crucial role in maintaining the planet's
temperature within a range that supports life.

Main Greenhouse Gases

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Methane (CH4)

Carbon dioxide is the most prevalent Methane is a potent greenhouse gas with a
greenhouse gas emitted by human activities. higher heat-trapping capacity than carbon
dioxide.
It is released primarily through the burning of
fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial It is released from sources such as agriculture
processes. (livestock and rice cultivation), fossil fuel
extraction, and decomposition of organic waste.

Nitrous Oxide (N2O) Fluorinated Gases

Nitrous oxide is a powerful greenhouse gas that is Fluorinated gases, such as hydrofluorocarbons
mainly emitted through agricultural and industrial (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur
activities. hexafluoride (SF6), are synthetic greenhouse gases.
It is associated with the use of synthetic fertilizers, They are commonly used in various industrial
combustion of fossil fuels, and certain industrial applications, including refrigeration, air conditioning,
processes. and electronics manufacturing.
