    Global warming is the increase in average surface temperatures due to greenhouse gas emissions trapping heat in the atmosphere (the greenhouse effect). The key greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and fluorinated gases. Global warming is measured by temperature increases seen in temperature records and ice core data. While global warming began with the Industrial Revolution, the rate of increase has grown exponentially due to human activity like burning fossil fuels. Effects of global warming include rising sea levels, stronger extreme weather, and habitat destruction. Individual actions like using less energy and driving less can help address the problem.

     Introduction
     What is Global Warming?
     How Global Warming Works.
     Example of the Greenhouse Effect.
     Difference between “global warming” and “climate change.
     Effects of Global Warming.
     Why is global warming happening?
     How is Global Warming measured?
     When did Global Warming started?
     What can you do to help solve the problem?
     Conclusion
     Reference
     Is the world getting warmer?
     If so, are the actions of mankind
    to blame for earth’s temperature
    increases?
     What can/should be done about
    these issues?
     Global Warming is the increase of Earth's
    average surface temperature due to effect of
    greenhouse gases,
     such as carbon dioxide emissions from burning
    fossil fuels or from deforestation, which trap
    heat that would otherwise escape from Earth.
     This is a type of greenhouse effect.
    Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

    Fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas)


    Example of the
    Greenhouse Effect
    The Sun’s energy
    passes through the
    car’s windshield.
    This energy (heat)
    is trapped inside
    the car and cannot
    pass back through
    the windshield,
    causing the inside
    of the car to warm
    up.
    What’s the difference
    between “global warming”
    and “climate change”?
    GLOBAL WARMING CLIMATE CHANGE
    is the increase of the is a broader term that
    Earth’s average surface refers to long-term
    temperature due to a changes in climate,
    build-up of greenhouse including average
    gases in the temperature and

    Global Atmospheric Concentration of CO2
    Joseph Black, a Scottish chemist and
    physician, first identified carbon dioxide in
    the 1750s. At room temperatures (20-25 oC),
    carbon dioxide is an odourless, colourless
    gas, which is faintly acidic and non-
    flammable. Carbon dioxide is a molecule with
    the molecular formula CO2. The linear
    molecule consists of a carbon atom that is
    doubly bonded to two oxygen atoms,
    O=C=O.
    Humans use carbon dioxide in many different
    ways. The most familiar example is its use in soft
    drinks and beer, to make them fizzy.
    Carbon dioxide released by baking powder or
    yeast makes cake batter rise. Some fire
    extinguishers use carbon dioxide because it is
    denser than air.
    Carbon dioxide can blanket a fire, because of its
    heaviness.
    Carbon dioxide plays an important part
    in vital plant and animal process, such as
    photosynthesis and respiration.
     Greenhouse gasses absorb some of the heat and
    trap it near the earth's surface, so that the earth is
    warmed up. This process, commonly known as
    the greenhouse effect.
     The amount of heat in the troposphere depends
    on concentrations of atmospheric greenhouse
    gasses and the amount of time these gasses
    remain in the atmosphere. The most important
    greenhouse gasses are carbon dioxide, CFC's
    (Chlor-Fluoro-Carbons), nitrogen oxides and
    methane.
    The primary health dangers of carbon dioxide are:
    - Asphyxiation. Caused by the release of carbon dioxide in a
    confined or unventilated area. This can lower the
    concentration of oxygen to a level that is immediately
    dangerous for human health.
    - Frostbite. Solid carbon dioxide is always below -78 oC at
    regular atmospheric pressure, regardless of the air
    temperature. Handling this material for more than a second
    or two without proper protection can cause serious blisters,
    and other unwanted effects. Carbon dioxide gas released
    from a steel cylinder, such as a fire extinguisher, causes
    similar effects.
    - Kidney damage or coma. This is caused by a disturbance in
    chemical equilibrium of the carbonate buffer. When carbon
    dioxide concentrations increase or decrease, causing the
    equilibrium to be disturbed, a life threatening situation may
    occur.

    Turn off your computer or the TV
    when you’re not using it.

    Take shorter showers. Heating water uses energy.

    Keep rooms cool by closing the blinds, shades, or


    curtains.

    Turn off the lights when you leave a room.

    Use compact fluorescent bulbs.

    Dress lightly when it’s hot instead of turning up
    the air conditioning. Or use a fan.
    Dress warmly when it’s cold instead of turning
    up the heat.
    Offer to help your parents keep the air filters on
    your AC and furnace clean.
    Walk short distances instead of asking for a
    ride in the car.

    Plant a tree. Recycle.


     There is very little doubt that global warming will
    change our climate in the next century. So what are
    the solutions to global warming? First, there must
    be an international political solution.
     Second, funding for developing cheap and clean
    energy production must be increased, as all
    economic development is based on increasing
    energy usage.
     We must not pin all our hopes on global politics and
    clean energy technology, so we must prepare for the
    worst and adapt. If implemented now, a lot of the
    costs and damage that could be caused by changing
    climate can be mitigated.
