  1. GLOBAL WARMING

  2. Global Warming Alarm

  3. Global warming What is Global Warming? Warming is defined as the increase of the average temperature on Earth. As the Earth is getting hotter, disasters like hurricanes, droughts and floods are very frequent.

  4. Causes Of Global Warming • Green house effect • Carbon Dioxide from Power Plants • Carbon Dioxide Emitted from Cars  • Carbon Dioxide from Airplanes • Carbon Dioxide from Buildings • Methane 

  5. …….Continued • Water Vapor in the Atmosphere Increasing • Nitrous oxide • Carbon in Atmosphere and Ocean • Tundra

  6. Effects of Global warming • Plant and animal range shifts and population changes • Coral reef bleaching • Downpours, heavy snowfalls, and flooding • Droughts and fires

  7. …….Continued • Heat waves and periods of unusually warm weather • Ocean warming • sea-level rise and coastal flooding • Glaciers melting • Arctic and Antarctic warming Spreading diseases • Earlier spring arrival

  8. Sector wise list of green house emission

  9. Institutions To Monitor Global Warming • Lamont-Doherty earth observatory (LDEO) • NasaGodart institute for space studies (GISS) • International research institute for climate and society • Cooperative institute for climate applications and research (CICAR) • Center for environmental research and conservation (CERC) • Center for climate systems research (CCSR) • Center for research on environmental Decisions (CRED) • Global roundtable on climate change (GROCC) • Lenfest center for sustainable energy (LCSE) • Center for hazards and risk research (CHRR) • The educational programs of the environmental law clinic

  10. Global Average Temperature

  11. Evidence of Global warming • Carbon dioxide increasing in atmosphere • Methane also increasing • Disappearing glaciers • Melting Antarctic sea ice • Ocean warming with coral bleaching

  12. Evidence of Global warming

  13. Evidence of Global warming

  14. Polar Bear Panic Polar bears starting to turn up drowned and at some point will become extinct due to global warming.”

  15. An Inconvenient Truth • “Intellectually Exhilarating! An Inconvenient Truth is a necessary film” A.O. Scott, New York Times • “It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it” Upton Sinclair

  16. Skeptics View • Natural phenomenon • Not man made

  17. Jupiter “Some parts of Jupiter are now as much as six degrees Celsius warmer than just a few years ago.” Imke de Pater and Philip Marcus of University of California, Berkeley

  18. Mars • Carbon dioxide "ice caps" near Mars's south pole had been diminishing for three summers in a row. 2005 data from NASA's Mars Global Surveyor and Odyssey missions • “A simultaneous rising in temperature on both Mars and Earth suggest that climate change is indeed a natural phenomenon as opposed to being man-made. Habibullo Abdussamatov, head of space research at St. Petersburg's Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory in Russia

  19. Saturn Storms on Saturn indicate a climate change occurring on that planet. NASA

  20. Alarmists Say “Global warming may raise the oceans 23 feet, submerging cities from Sidney to New York.”Jonathan Gregory, climate scientist at the University of Reading in England

  21. Climate Education Worldwide • Climate change is a global issue, but its impacts and how it is perceived differ greatly around the world. German student Simone Lepper shares her experiences teaching climate change in Germany, Estonia, and Cameroon.

  24. Current News on Global warming • January 15, 2008...The year 2007 tied 1998 as the second warmest year on record; 2005 being the warmest year. An analysis by NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS). • June 21, 2007...China is now producing the most CO2 of any country in the world, surpassing the United States. However, per capita the U.S is emitting over 4 times as much as China, 21 tons per American vs 5 tons per Chinese.

  25. Frequently Asked Questions • How long does carbon dioxide remain in the atmosphere?  • Do extreme events such as heat waves and floods have • What is the cause of sea level rise? • How long does the carbon dioxide remain in the atmosphere? • How much in carbon emissions does the U.S. produce?

  26. The Final Quote • Preserving the environment • Conserving energy • Providing for clean air and water • Developing alternative forms of power • Reducing our dependence on oil • Each stands on it’s own benefits. Let us join together to make them happen.

  27. What You Can Do • Vote for those who demand action to fight climate • change • Tips on cutting energy use • Mobilization of renewable resources
