Global warming is defined as the increase in temperature of Earth, that causes change in climate
The last few centuries have seen an increase in industrial, agricultural and other human activity resulting in release of more green house gases in the atmosphere. These gases cause the atmosphere to trap increasing amounts of heat energy in the Earth's surface making the planet warmer than usual.
The global temperature is now 1C higher than in 1900. Predictions of future climate indicate that by the middle of the next century, the Earth's global temperature may be 1C to 3C higher than what it is today.
Researchers have checked through indirect evidence (tree rings, coral growth, ice cores) and confirmed that the warmest decade in the past 1000 years was from 1990 to 1999. The warmest year of the millenium was 1998.
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent have analyzed the past 33 years of natural disasters and 90% of them were weather related. Moreover, the occurrence of these disasters has increased in the past three decades.
Effects of Global Warming
Following are the effects of global warming:
More heat wavesExpansion of desert areaNatural fires in forest landsMore evaporation of water from oceans and water bodiesMelting of Ice caps in Arctic and Antarctic regionsMore cloud formation in the atmosphereShorter and warmer winters coupled with longer and hotter summersChanges in rainfall patternRise in sea levelFlooding and submergence of low lying coastal areasDisruption in farmingMore droughtImpact on plants, animals and humansControl and remedial measures:
Some of the remedial and control measures of global warming are listed below:
Reduction in consumption of fossil fuels such as coal and petroleumUse of bio-gas plantsUse of nuclear power plantsIncreasing forest coverUse of unleaded petrol in automobilesInstallation of pollution controlling devices in automobiles (catalytic converter) and industries (Electro Static Precipitators, Bag filters, Wet scrubbers etc)
