What is Global Warming?
• Definition – Global warming refers to the long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to human
activities, primarily the emission of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2).
• Main Contributes -
• Fossil fuel burning (coal, oil, natural gas)
• Deforestation
• Industrial processes
• Key Greenhouse Gases -
• Carbon dioxide (CO2)
• Methane (CH4)
• Nitrous oxide (N2O)
Causes Of Global Warming
• Human Activities -
• Burning of Fossil Fuels : Power plants, cars, and factories emit CO2.
• Deforestation : Trees absorb CO2; removing them reduces Earth's ability to regulate CO2.
• Agriculture : Livestock production emits methane, and fertilizers release nitrous oxide.
• Natural Factors -
• Solar radiation variation (less significant than human impact).
• Volcanic activity (short-term effect on climate).

Impacts of Global Warming
• Rising temperatures : Average global temperatures are increasing, leading to more frequent heatwaves.
• Melting Ice Caps : Arctic and Antarctic ice is melting, contributing to sea-level rise.
• Extreme Weather Events : More intense storms, floods, and droughts.
• Ecosystem Disruption : Threatens biodiversity, alters habitats, and affects food security.

Solutions to Combat Global Warming
• Renewable Energy : Transition to solar, wind, and hydroelectric power.
• Energy Efficiency : Improve buildings, transportation, and industrial practices to reduce energy consumption.
• Reforestation : Plant trees to absorb CO2.
• International Agreements : Global efforts like the Paris Agreement to reduce emissions.
• Personal Actions : Reduce waste, use public transport, and adopt a sustainable lifestyle.
