A carbon footprint is the amount of greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide, released through activities like driving a car, heating a home, and producing the goods and food we consume. The carbon footprint is calculated based on how much fuel is burned and how far it is transported. Reducing consumption, planting a garden, carpooling, taking shorter routes, traveling off peak times, reducing idle time, vehicle maintenance, and considering production and transportation of purchases can help lower an individual's carbon footprint.
This topic "Global Warming" has become hot issue all over the world these days. This slide let you know about the causes, effects and resolutions about global warming..It will make us aware about how our future generation can adjust in such a climate which is much hotter than it is now. :)
Carbon footprinting aims to quantify total greenhouse gas emissions from a product or service. It considers direct and indirect emissions from activities like manufacturing, use, and disposal. Examples provided show that transportation like flying and driving have high emissions, while renewable electricity and local produce have low emissions. The document discusses the need for developed countries to rapidly decarbonize their energy systems and economies to limit global warming per the Paris Agreement goals. Personal emissions come from housing, transportation, food, goods, and services, with transportation typically being the highest category. Strategic government actions are needed to decarbonize sectors not influenced by individuals.
Global warming occurs when CO2 accumulates in the atmosphere and traps excess heat. To address global warming, one should calculate their carbon footprint, which measures the greenhouse gases produced from daily activities. Reducing carbon footprint through actions like switching off lights and electronics when not in use, walking or cycling more, and reducing meat consumption can help limit global warming. Plastics are a major pollutant as their production requires oil and they take hundreds of years to decompose, choking ecosystems. Community efforts like refusing plastic bags, educating others, and proper waste disposal are needed to fight plastic pollution and protect the environment.

Global warming is caused by greenhouse gas emissions trapping heat in the atmosphere. It has led to increased average global temperatures by 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit since 1880. Some effects of global warming include more extreme weather, rising sea levels, and threats to plant and animal species. While some recent data shows ice gain in parts of Antarctica, scientists agree this is actually caused by global warming through ocean warming and increased freshwater runoff from melting glaciers diluting sea water and allowing it to freeze more easily. Overall, the scientific consensus remains that global warming poses severe risks to both human and natural systems.
This document discusses carbon footprints and provides examples of carbon footprints for various activities. It defines a carbon footprint as a measure of the total greenhouse gases emitted due to a population, system or activity. It explains that carbon footprints are calculated based on carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gas emissions. The document then gives examples of the carbon footprints of activities like web searching, traveling by different modes of transportation, and estimates the average carbon footprint per person globally and in India. Finally, it outlines some impacts of large carbon footprints and provides tips for reducing individual carbon footprints.
The document defines climate change as changes in weather patterns over time that are primarily driven by rising carbon dioxide levels from burning fossil fuels. It lists the main causes as greenhouse gas emissions from industries, transportation, and electricity production. The effects discussed include changes in weather patterns like more intense hurricanes, droughts, and rainstorms as well as impacts to health, wildlife, glaciers and sea levels. Potential solutions proposed are developing renewable energies, reducing transportation emissions, international agreements like the Kyoto Protocol, and increasing public awareness of the issue.
Global warming is caused by heat-trapping gases like carbon dioxide and methane that are emitted through human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation. These gases trap heat in the atmosphere and cause Earth's surface temperature to rise, disrupting climate patterns. Effects of global warming include extreme heat, rising sea levels, more intense storms, droughts, and declining crop yields. International efforts to address global warming include the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and its Kyoto Protocol that aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Individual actions like conserving energy and planting trees can also help mitigate the problem.
Global warming is a gradual increase in the Earth's temperatures caused by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide trapping heat in the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect makes the Earth warm enough for life, but excess pollution is exacerbating global warming and harming the environment. Effects of global warming include rising sea levels which flood islands and damage habitats, killing ocean algae and reducing food sources, and more frequent wildfires caused by hotter temperatures. Reducing carbon emissions through measures like carpooling and conserving energy can help limit global warming and protect the environment long-term.

Introduction to Carbon Footprint Calculation and the Importance Janathakshan Gte Ltd
A presentation by Janathakshan on GHG, its impact, climate change and global warming, carbon footprint and global situation and the importance of measuring it.
Climate change and global warming are increasing due to both natural and human factors. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane are accumulating in the atmosphere due to activities like burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and factory farming, trapping heat and causing temperatures to rise approximately 0.74°C already and projected to increase up to 6.5°C by 2100. This warming leads to consequences like increased melting of glaciers and ice caps, rising sea levels, and more extreme weather. Individual actions like using less energy, recycling, and greener transportation can help address the problem.
Climate change refers to long-term changes in temperature and weather patterns due to human activities like burning fossil fuels. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide trap heat in the atmosphere and have increased by 35% since the Industrial Revolution. This is causing global warming and impacting water resources, increasing extreme weather events, and rising sea levels. Addressing climate change requires reducing greenhouse gas emissions from transportation, industry, agriculture, and deforestation.

Carbon Footprint is a measure of organization's Greenhouse Gases emmissions. Many organizations nowadays are conscious with their carbon footprint.
This consciousness led to the development of PAS 2050, a standard developed by the British Standards Institute to assess the lifecycle GHG emissions of goods and services.
Global warming refers to the long-term rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system, primarily due to human activities that increase greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. The main causes of global warming are greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide emitted from burning fossil fuels, large-scale deforestation, and agriculture. As the Earth's temperature increases, sea levels are expected to rise and extreme weather events are predicted to become more frequent due to climate change. To control global warming, actions need to be taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through using public transportation, renewable energy, capturing methane, and improving energy efficiency. Unabated global warming could flood coastal cities as melting ice causes sea levels to rise by
An Introduction to Carbon Offsets, Markets and ProjectsThe Climate Trust
The document provides an outline and information about carbon offset projects. It discusses that The Climate Trust was founded in 1997 to acquire carbon offsets for new power plants regulated by the Oregon Carbon Dioxide Standard. It developed processes to evaluate, quantify, verify and register offset projects. The document also discusses the types of offset projects including forestry, agriculture, cookstoves, and fertilizer. It provides examples of offset projects in Latin America.
The document discusses the greenhouse effect and its causes and consequences. It explains that increased concentrations of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere trap heat and cause global warming. These gases are emitted through activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation. The rising global temperatures lead to problems like sea level rise, worsening health effects, and disruption of agriculture and natural environments. Reducing emissions from fossil fuels and increasing carbon sinks through afforestation can help control the greenhouse effect.
Global warming is caused primarily by human-induced increases in greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide and methane. The average global surface temperature has increased around 1°C over the past century and is projected to rise another 1-6°C by 2100 according to climate models. This warming will cause sea level rise and changes in weather patterns through feedback loops like increased water vapor and reduced ice and snow cover. There is an ongoing public debate around climate change and potential policy responses like emissions reductions and adaptation measures.
