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.
A greenhouse gas (sometimes abbreviated GHG)
is a gas in an atmosphere that absorbs and emits
radiation within the thermal infrared range. This
process is the fundamental cause of the
greenhouse effect.The primary greenhouse
gases in the Earth's atmosphere are :
WATER VAPOUR
CARBON DIOXIDE
METHANE
NITROUS OXIDE
OZONE
1. Increasing atmospheric
concentrations of greenhouse
gases.
3. Increasing atmospheric
concentrations of aerosols.
1. Acclerating Sea Level Rise and
Increased Coastal Flooding
Average global sea level has increased
eight inches since 1880. Global warming is
now accelerating the rate of sea level
rise, increasing flooding risks to low-lying
communities and high-risk coastal
properties whose development has been
encouraged by today's flood insurance
system.

1.Reduce Fossil Fuel Use
Burning fossil fuels
increases the levels of
greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere. There are
two ways to reduce fossil
fuel use: Use less energy,
or use alternative,
nonpolluting energy
sources like solar and wind
power.
2.Plant Trees
Because carbon dioxide is the
most important greenhouse
gas, planting trees and other
plants can slow or stop global
warming. Plants take in
carbon dioxide and release
oxygen.
3.Reduce Waste
The production of garbage
contributes to global
warming. Decomposing waste
in landfills produces methane
and other greenhouse gases.
4. Conserve Water
Cities consume significant amounts of
energy when purifying and distributing
water, which contributes to greenhouse
gas emissions. Saving water reduces the
amount of energy used.
