Micro Project Report

Global Warming

1.0 Rationale:
The rationale for addressing global warming encompasses several key points that highlight its urgency
and importance. First, raising awareness about the causes and impacts of global warming is crucial for
fostering informed discussions and motivating individuals and communities to take meaningful action.
Understanding the relationship between greenhouse gas emissions and climate change allows us to
identify major contributors and develop effective policies to mitigate their effects. Emphasizing the
importance of reducing carbon footprints empowers individuals and organizations to adopt sustainable
practices, leading to collective environmental benefits. Furthermore, promoting actionable solutions
encourages innovation and collaboration among stakeholders, maximizing our efforts to combat global
warming. Finally, engaging communities fosters a sense of responsibility and empowers citizens to
actively participate in environmental protection initiatives. Together, these elements underscore the
necessity of a comprehensive approach to understanding and addressing the challenges posed by
global warming.

2.0 Aim of Micro Project:

1. To raise awareness about the causes and impacts of global warming.
2. To explore the relationship between greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.
3. To highlight the importance of reducing carbon footprints and adopting sustainable practices.
4. To promote solutions for mitigating global warming and protecting ecosystems.
5. To encourage community involvement in climate action and environmental stewardship.

3.0 Course Outcomes Addressed:

1. Develop Public awareness about environment [✓]
2. Select alternative energy resources for Engineering Practice [✓]
3. Conserve Ecosystem and Biodiversity [✓]
4. Apply techniques to reduce Environmental Pollution [✓ ]
5. Manage social issues and Environmental Ethics as lifelong learning [✓]

4.0 Literature Review:
The concept of global warming is intrinsically linked to the health of our environment and
ecosystems, which serve as the foundation for life on Earth. Defined as the long-term increase in
Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities, particularly the emission of greenhouse
gases, global warming poses a significant threat to the delicate balance of ecosystems. These
ecosystems, which encompass both living organisms and their abiotic surroundings, are vital for
sustaining biodiversity and providing essential ecosystem services. The study of ecosystems,
introduced by British ecologist Arthur Tansley in 1935, highlights the interconnectedness of biotic
components—such as plants, animals, and decomposers—and abiotic factors like soil, water, and
climate. As global temperatures rise, the interplay between these components is disrupted, leading
to shifts in species distribution, altered reproductive patterns, and increased extinction rates.

Human activities have dramatically accelerated these changes, particularly through habitat
destruction, pollution, and resource overexploitation. The Anthropocene epoch, characterized by
significant human impact on Earth’s systems, has seen ecosystems strained by urbanization,
agriculture, and industrial practices. For instance, the conversion of the tallgrass prairie into
farmland has severely diminished habitats for iconic species like the bison. Similarly, the Amazon
rainforest, rich in biodiversity and complex ecosystems, faces unprecedented threats from
deforestation and climate change, which disrupt food webs and ecological interactions. The loss of
these ecosystems not only threatens species but also diminishes the ecosystem services they
provide, such as carbon sequestration, water purification, and climate regulation. As temperatures
rise, precipitation patterns shift, and extreme weather events become more frequent, the resilience
of these ecosystems is put to the test, emphasizing the urgent need for conservation and sustainable
management practices to combat global warming and its far-reaching impacts.

5.0 Actual Methodology Followed:

1. First, we decided the topic of the micro project

2. Then we gathered information about our topic
3. Report of the project was prepared after gathering information using word.
4. With the collected information a rough report was prepared.
5. After enough information was collected, the suitable information was revised and selectively
arranged as per the need of the project.
6. After that the revised information were put together in the finalized report.
