Global Warming
The greenhouse effect and global warming are issues that are talked about by geologists
all the time. The greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps the earth at temperatures that
are livable. Energy from the sun warms the earth when its heat rays are absorbed by greenhouse
gasses and become trapped in the atmosphere. Some of the most common greenhouse gasses are
water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane. If there were no greenhouse gasses, very few rays
would be absorbed and the earth would be extremely cold. When too many rays are absorbed, the
earth?s atmosphere starts to warm, which leads to global warming. Global warming can lead to
many problems that affects the environment in which we live.
In order to talk about global warming, we must first learn what causes the greenhouse
effect. A lot of the rays from the sun are absorbed by water vapor that is naturally in our
atmosphere. Water vapor accounts for ?80 percent of natural greenhouse warming. The
remaining 20 percent is due to other gasses that are present in very small amounts? (Murck,
Skinner and Porter 488). Carbon dioxide is also a big absorber of the sun?s heat rays. Humans
can cause a lot of carbon dioxide to be released. Every time we burn fossil fuels, we release more
carbon dioxide. Emissions from cars also increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere. If there is more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere more rays from the sun are
absorbed. This will cause the atmosphere and the earth?s temperature to warm. The warming of
the earth will cause the oceans to become warmer. When they heat up, more water is evaporated,
causing more carbon dioxide to be released into the atmosphere. Once this process starts, it is
extremely hard to control. If the temperature keeps rising, more carbon dioxide will be released.
Another greenhouse gas is methane: ?Methane absorbs infrared radiation 25 times more
effectively than carbon dioxide, making it an important greenhouse gas despite its relatively low
concentration? (490). There have been many studies on how methane is released into the
atmosphere. Methane in the atmosphere is ?generated by biological activity related to rice
cultivation, leaks in domestic and industrial gaslines, and the digestive process of domestic
livestock, especially cattle? (490).

Hey hi!
Topic : Global warming!
Let's start with some beautiful quotes on it!
★ We have one planet and ,one chance! Stop Global warming!
★ Global warming isn't a prediction,it is happening!
★ We should not forget our duty towards nature before it becomes too late!
★ Global warming is warning us through sea level rising and icecaps melting.
# What do you mean by global warming?
★ Global warming is the phenomena in which there is gradual increase in the temperature of the earth's atmosphere. It ruins the natural Environment and it's not less than a man made disaster!
Let's talk about some of the facts in relation to global warming!
→ Today the condition of global warming occurred because of the increase in the average temperature of the earth caused due to green house gases like carbon dioxide and methane.
→ Melting of glaciers will result in the raise of sea level and causing issues like water shortage in the areas that depends on natural sources of water.
→ The period from 2000-2009 was noted as the hottest decades on the earth.
→ Global warming can even lead to the shortage of food and water on the earth.
→ A failure in preventing global warming can cause a major economic collapse.
→ Human activities release around 37 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide per year.
Let's talk about why does global warming occurred?
→ The condition of global warming occurred because some of the green house gases like carbon dioxide and other air pollutants collects in the atmosphere and traps and absorbs the sunlight and it's solar radiations that could have been bounced back to the earth's surface. If these interruption were not there then it could have escaped the space.But as if those green house gases were trapped led to the planet to get hotter even more.This is known as green house effect.
Now, it's the time to talk about its merits :.
★ There will be fewer number of deaths and injuries because of the cold environment.
★ There can be increased agricultural production in some of the local areas because of the longer seasons.
★ There will be less energy consumption for warming cold places.
Now, about its disadvantages :
★ Due to change in the climatic conditions agricultural production becomes less and leads to the shortage of food.
★ Water shortage on those places where water is already less available.
★ Humans and animals will be more prone to diseases.
★ Heat waves will lead to deaths.
★ Possibility that there can be extinction of some of the species of plants and animals.
★ Air Pollution will be increased.
★ Conditions like starvation,malnutrition may even occur.
★ There are chances of desertification.
# What are the measures taken by the government to reduce global warming?
★ Government has introduced and encouraged the use of CNG and LPG gases in vehicles instead of other polluting gases like petrol and diesel.
→ This reduces the harmful gases without being released into the air.
★ Government often takes initiative in organising campaigns to make people aware of the disadvantages of global warming.
★ Indian government have implemented chimneys in factories to reduce global warming.
★ Organisation of Vanmahotsav that means More afforestation and less deforestation.
★ They have replaced plastic bags with jute bags.
★ Government also appoints some leaders to organise awareness among people.
★ Swachh Bharat is a successful mission taken up by narendra modi , our prime minister. Similarly many other missions can be taken up against it.
★ Spreading awareness for the importance of planting more number of trees.
Thanks!
