What is global warming?
 Global Warming and The
Greenhouse Effect
• Global warming • The Greenhouse effect is
defined as the trapping
is defined as the gradual
and build-up of heat in the
increase in average
lower atmosphere near a
measured surface
planet's surface. Some of
temperature on Earth the heat flowing back
towards space from the
Earth's surface is
absorbed by water vapor
(H2O), carbon dioxide
(CO2), methane (CH4) and
other gases in the
atmosphere
How Global Warming Works

Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas)

 Example of the
Greenhouse Effect
The Sun’s energy
passes through the
car’s windshield.

This energy (heat)

is trapped inside
the car and cannot
pass back through
the windshield,
causing the inside
of the car to warm
up.
 What’s the difference
between “global warming”
and “climate change”?
 Difference
GLOBAL WARMING CLIMATE CHANGE
is the increase of the is a broader term that
Earth’s average refers to long-term
surface temperature changes in climate,
due to a build-up of including average
greenhouse gases in temperature and
the atmosphere. precipitation.
Effects of Global Warming
Rising Sea Level Increased Temperature

Habitat Damage and

Changes in Water Supply

Why is global warming
happening?
Burning of Fossil Fuels

Pollution from coal,

natural gas, and oil
 What’s being done now to
reduce our emissions?

Wind Power Solar Power Fuel-Efficiency

We can stop global warming!
What can you do to help
solve the problem?
 Simple Things To Do
Turn off your computer or the TV
when you’re not using it.

Take shorter showers. Heating water uses energy.

Keep rooms cool by closing the blinds, shades, or

curtains.

Turn off the lights when you leave a room.

Use compact fluorescent bulbs.

 Simple Things To Do
Dress lightly when it’s hot instead of turning up
the air conditioning. Or use a fan.
Dress warmly when it’s cold instead of turning
up the heat.

Offer to help your parents keep the air filters on

your AC and furnace clean.

Walk short distances instead of asking for a

ride in the car.

Plant a tree. Recycle.

 POLLUTION
The global environment has been seriously affected by
pollution. Human beings have always polluted their
environments, but pollution did not become a serious
issue until the Industrial Revolution.
Types of pollution
 Sound pollution
 Water pollution
 Air pollution
 Soil pollution
 Conclusion
• Global warming is the product of green house effect. This
global warming is predicted to lead a variety of negative
effects, to reduce this we need to develops steps for the
prevention such as organizing self awareness
programmes, planning exhibitions in different parts of the
countries to create awareness on global warming. Apart
from the plans to slow down the global warming,
adaptation schemes must move forward fast. Constructing
flood defences, banning buildings close to sea areas are
some of the measures we can adapt
