 WHAT IS GLOBAL WARMING?

• Global warming is the long-term rise in the average

temperature of the Earth's climate system

• Most of the observed temperature increase is caused by

increased concentration of Greenhouse Gases

• Components of Air
 Water vapour : 36%- 70%
 Carbon-Dioxide : 9%-26%
 Methane: 4%-9%
 Ozone: 3%-7%
 WHAT ARE GREENHOUSE
GASES?
• A Greenhouse Gas is
a gas that absorbs and emits radiant energy within
the thermal infrared range

• The primary greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere

are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous
oxide and ozone.

• Without greenhouse gases, the average temperature

of Earth's surface would be about −18 °C (0 °F),
 THE GREEN HOUSE EFFECT
• The Greenhouse effect is the process by which
radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the
planet's surface to a temperature above what it would
be without this atmosphere

• Earth’s natural Greenhouse effect is critical to

supporting life

• Human activities, however, mainly the burning of fossil

fuels and clear cutting of forests, have accelerated
the Greenhouse effect and caused global warming.
CAUSES OF GLOBAL WARMING:
• Increase air pollution

• Waste generation

• Increased usage of plastic

• Chlorofluorocarbons (cfcs )
EFFECTS OF GLOBAL
WARMING
• Weather
• Sea level
• Agriculture
• Plants and animals
• Human health
 FACTS ON GLOBAL WARMING
• Natural climate solutions like ending deforestation and
restoring degraded forests could, at the global level, create 80
million jobs, bring 1 billion people out of poverty and add US$
2.3 trillion in productive growth.

• 195 countries signed the 2015 Paris Agreement, agreeing to

limit global warming and adapt to climate change, partly by
protecting nature.

• An area of coastal ecosystems larger than New York City is

destroyed every year, removing an important buffer from
extreme weather for coastal communities and releasing
carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
• In the Amazon, 1% of tree species sequester 50% of the
region’s carbon.

• 408 part​s per million.

The concentration of carbon dioxide (CO 2)​​in our atmosphere,
as of 2018, is the highest it has been in 3 million years.

• Eleven percent of all global greenhouse gas emissions caused

by humans are caused by deforestation

• Eleven percent of the world’s population is currently

vulnerable to climate change impacts such as droughts, floods,
heat waves, extreme weather events and sea-level rise.
