HIGHLIGHT THE CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF GREENHOUSE GASES .

UNDERSTAND WHAT ALL IS GLOBAL WARMING AND WAYS O REDUCE IT.

FURTHER STEPS TO BE TAKEN UP BY THE COMMON PEOPLE TO PREVENT ALL THIS IN FUTURE.

Global warming is the increase in the average measured temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century, and its projected continuation.

The average global air temperature near the Earth's surface increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) during the 100 years ending in 2005.

•The primary human-related cause of global warming is the burning of fossil fuels like oil, coal, and natural gas..

•We have also put more methane, ozone, and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere through industrial and agricultural production.

•We use fossil fuels every day to power our cars, to light and heat (or cool) our homes, to manufacture goods, and to grow food.

• CO2 – increased 30% since last industrial revolution.

• Methane- increased by 150%

•The largest glacier on Mount Kenya has lost 92% of its mass

•Sea levels have risen by 10 - 25 cm

•The thickness of sea ice in the arctic has decreased by 40%.

o Himalayan source of the Ganga - drying up at a rate of 40 yards a year (twice as fast as two decades ago)

o Some of these glaciers might disappear by 2030.

o In the dry summer months, the Gangotri glacier provides up to 70 percent of the water of the Ganga.

o According to a UN climate report, the shrinking glaciers also threaten Asia’s supply of fresh water.
