What is GlobalWarming???

Global warming is the increase inthe average temperature of the

Earth's near-surface air andoceans since the mid-20thcentury and its projected

continuation .

What are the causes ofGlobal Warming???

An increase in global temperaturewill cause sea levels to rise and

will change the amount andpattern of precipitation,

probably including expansion of

subtropical deserts. Thecontinuing retreat

of glaciers, permafrost and sea

expected, with warming

being strongest in the Arctic.Other likely effects include

increases in the intensity

of extremeweather events, speciesextinctions, and changes

in agricultural yields. Globalwarming could affect seasons,

sea level and disrupt ecosystems.

What are the effectsof Global Warming???

The effects of globalwarming and climate change are

of concern both forthe environment and human life.

Evidence of observed climatechange includes the instrumentaltemperature record, rising sea

levels, and

Report, "[most] of the observedincrease in global averagetemperatures since the mid-20th

century is very likelydue to theobserved increase in[human greenhouse gas]

concentrations". It is predictedthat future climate changes will

include further global warming(i.e., an upwardtrend in globalmean temperature), sea level

rise, and a probable increase inthe frequency of some extremeweather events. Ecosystems are

seen as being particularlyvulnerable to climate change.Human systems are seen as

adapt to future climate change.To reduce the risk of largechanges in future climate, many

countries have implementedpolicies designed to reduce theiremissions of greenhouse gases.

How we can prevent

it???Step1Drive less. Take bikes, walk or

carpool whenever possible.Step2

Consider investing in a hybrid orelectric vehicle to help preventagainst further global warming.


10/18

Replace all the lightbulbs in andaround your home with energy-efficient fluorescents that use

fewer watts for the sameamount of light.

Step4Clean or replace your filters

monthly.Step5Choose energy-efficient appliances

when it's time to buy new ones.

Step6

Decrease your air travel.Step7Wash clothes in cold water and

line-dry whenever possible.Step8Use a low-flow showerhead, which

will lessen the hot water usedbut not drop your water pressure

in the shower.

Step9

Cut down on your garbagebuyfewer packaged materials toprevent further global warming.

Step10Unplug electronics when they arenot in use, because they still take

up energy. At the very least, turnitems off when theyre not beingused.

Step11

Run the dishwasher and clotheswasher only when you have a fullload, and if available, use the

energy-saving setting.

Step12Insulate your home better, anddont forget to repair or replace

worn caulking or weather-stripping. Insulateyour water heater .

Step13

Buy recycled paper products andrecycle as much of your waste aspossible.

Step14Bring your own reusable canvas

grocery bags when grocery

shopping.Step15

Plant a tree.


15/18

Step16Have an energy audit done on your

home so you can find the troubleareas and fix them.

Step17Use nontoxic cleaning products.

Step18

Shop locally for food. A farmersmarket is an excellent place tovisit. And choose fresh food over

frozen foods. Fresh takes less

energy to produce.

Step19Keep your car tuned up, and check

tire pressure often to save gas.Step20Eat less meat and

more organic foods in your dietto do your part in preventingglobal warming
