GLOBAL
WARMING
PRESENTATION BY:
RITIK KUMAR
Global warming is the increase of average world
temperatures as a result of what is known as the
greenhouse effect. Certain gases in the atmosphere
act like glass in a greenhouse, allowing sunlight
through to heat the earth's surface but trapping the
heat as it radiates back into space. As the
greenhouse gases build up in the atmosphere the
Earth gets hotter. This process is leading to a rapid
change in climate, also known as climate change.
WHAT IS GLOBAL
WARMING?
➢ Global warming, the gradual heating of Earth's
surface, oceans and atmosphere, is caused by
human activity, primarily the burning of fossil
fuels that pump carbon dioxide (CO2),
methane and other greenhouse gases into
the atmosphere.
➢ The scientific community believes that climate
like Global Warming have occurred
throughout Earth's history and will continue
to occur in the future. Scientists have spent
decades figuring out what is causing Global
Warming.
The greenhouse effect is a natural
process that warms the Earth's
surface. When the Sun's energy
reaches the Earth's atmosphere, some
of it is reflected back to space and some
is absorbed and re-radiated by
greenhouse gases. The absorbed
energy warms the atmosphere and the
surface of the Earth.
GREENHOUSE
EFFECT
❖ Deforestation
Plants are the main source of oxygen. They take in
carbon dioxide and release oxygen thereby maintaining
environmental balance. Forests are being depleted for
many domestic and commercial purposes. This has led
to an environmental imbalance, thereby giving rise to
global warming.
❖ Use of Vehicles
The use of vehicles, even for a very short distance results
in various gaseous emissions. Vehicles burn fossil fuels
which emit a large amount of carbon dioxide and other
toxins into the atmosphere resulting in a temperature
increase.
Man-made Causes of Global Warming
❖ Chlorofluorocarbon
With the excessive use of air conditioners and
refrigerators, humans have been adding CFCs into
the environment which affects the atmospheric
ozone layer. The ozone layer protects the earth
surface from the harmful ultraviolet rays emitted
by the sun. The CFCs has led to ozone layer
depletion making way for the ultraviolet rays,
thereby increasing the temperature of the earth.
❖ Industrial Development
With the advent of industrialization, the
temperature of the earth has been increasing
rapidly. The harmful emissions from the factories
add to the increasing temperature of the earth.
❖ Agriculture
Various farming activities produce carbon dioxide and
methane gas. These add to the greenhouse gases in
the atmosphere and increase the temperature of the
earth.
❖ Overpopulation
Increase in population means more people breathing.
This leads to an increase in the level of carbon dioxide,
the primary gas causing global warming, in the
atmosphere.
Natural Causes of Global Warming
❑ Volcanoes
Volcanoes are one of the largest natural contributors to
global warming. The ash and smoke emitted during
volcanic eruptions goes out into the atmosphere and
affects the climate.
❑ Water Vapour
Water Vapour is a kind of greenhouse gas. Due to the
increase in the earth’s temperature more water gets
evaporated from the water bodies and stays in the
atmosphere adding to global warming.
❑ Melting Permafrost
Permafrost is there where glaciers are
present. It is a frozen soil that has
environmental gases trapped in it for several
years. As the permafrost melts, it releases
the gases back into the atmosphere
increasing the earth’s temperature.
❑ Forest Blazes
Forest blazes or forest fires emit a large
amount of carbon-containing smoke. These
gases are released into the atmosphere and
increase the earth’s temperature resulting in
global warming.
EFFECTS OF GLOBAL
WARMING
➢Rise in Temperature
➢Threats to the Ecosystem
➢Climate Change
➢Spread of Diseases
➢High Mortality Rates
➢Loss of Natural Habitat
❖ Rise in Temperature
Global warming has led to an incredible increase in
earth’s temperature. Since 1880, the earth’s
temperature has increased by ~1 degrees. This has
resulted in an increase in the melting of glaciers,
which have led to an increase in the sea level. This
could have devastating effects on coastal regions.
❖ Threats to the Ecosystem
Global warming has affected the coral reefs that can
lead to a loss of plant and animal lives. Increase in
global temperatures has made the fragility of coral
reefs even worse.
❖ Climate Change
Global warming has led to a change in climatic
conditions. There are droughts at some places and
floods at some. This climatic imbalance is the result of
global warming.
❖ Spread of Diseases
Global warming leads to a change in the patterns of
heat and humidity. This has led to the movement of
mosquitoes that carry and spread diseases.
❖ High Mortality Rates
Due to an increase in floods, tsunamis and other
natural calamities, the average death toll usually
increases. Also, such events can bring about the
spread of diseases that can hamper human life.
❖ Loss of Natural Habitat
A global shift in the climate leads to the loss of
habitats of several plants and animals. In this case,
the animals need to migrate from their natural
habitat and many of them even become extinct.
This is yet another major impact of global warming
on biodiversity.
Earth’s global average surface
temperature in 2021 tied 2018 as the
sixth-warmest year on record,
according to independent analyses
from NASA and the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA).
Global temperatures in 2021 were 0.85
degrees Celsius (1.5 degrees
Fahrenheit) above the average for
NASA’s baseline period, according to
scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute
for Space Studies (GISS). NASA uses
the period from 1951-1980 as a
baseline to compare how global
temperatures change over time.

How can we Stop Global Warming?
Climate Change Quotes From Inspirational Leaders
❑“The world must come together to confront climate change. There is little
scientific dispute that if we do nothing, we will face more drought, famine and
mass displacement that will fuel more conflict for decades.” - Barack Obama
❑“When the well is dry, we know the worth of water.” - Benjamin Franklin
❑“Preservation of our environment is not a liberal or conservative challenge, it's
common sense.” - Ronald Reagan
❑“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's
greed.”- Mahatma Gandhi
❑“Climate change is a terrible problem, and it absolutely needs to be solved. It
deserves to be a huge priority.” - Bill Gates
❑“We are running the most dangerous experiment in history right now, which is to
see how much carbon dioxide the atmosphere can handle before there is an
environmental catastrophe.” - Elon Musk
