Takeaways

• 😀 Global warming refers to the increase in Earth's average temperature caused by the rise in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
• 😀 The current global average temperature has already risen by about 2°C, with variations from country to country ranging from 2 to 5°C.
• 😀 Greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps Earth warm by trapping heat from the sun in the atmosphere.
• 😀 While the greenhouse effect is essential for life on Earth, excessive greenhouse gases like CO2, methane, and nitrous oxide exacerbate global warming.
• 😀 Human activities, such as waste decomposition, transportation, industry, deforestation, and agriculture, significantly contribute to the emission of greenhouse gases.
• 😀 Emissions from organic waste decomposition, transportation vehicles, and industrial activities release harmful gases like carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and sulfur oxides (SOx).
• 😀 Deforestation contributes to global warming by reducing the number of trees that absorb CO2 and produce oxygen.
• 😀 International agreements, such as the Earth Summit, Kyoto Protocol, and Bali Climate Change Conference, aim to address global warming through global cooperation.
• 😀 The effects of global warming include melting ice caps in the South Pole, rising sea levels, and the threat of small islands sinking.
• 😀 Other impacts include the bleaching of coral reefs, altered weather patterns, and the endangerment of species unable to adapt to extreme conditions.
• 😀 To combat global warming, we can reduce energy consumption, adopt alternative energy sources, manage waste through recycling and composting, and prevent deforestation by promoting reforestation.

Q & A

What is global warming, and how does it affect the Earth?

Global warming refers to the rise in Earth's average temperature due to the increase in greenhouse gas emissions. This causes a rise in the temperature of both the Earth's surface and the atmosphere, impacting the climate and environment globally.

What is the greenhouse effect, and why is it important?

The greenhouse effect is a natural process where certain gases, like carbon dioxide, trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere. This keeps the planet warm enough to sustain life. However, excessive greenhouse gases can cause more heat to be trapped, worsening global warming.

Which greenhouse gases contribute most to global warming?

The main greenhouse gases contributing to global warming include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Some, like methane, are much more potent than CO2.

What human activities contribute to the increase in greenhouse gases?

Human activities such as burning fossil fuels for energy, deforestation, waste decomposition, industrial processes, and agriculture contribute significantly to the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

How does deforestation contribute to global warming?

Deforestation reduces the number of trees that can absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Without these trees, more carbon dioxide remains in the air, contributing to the greenhouse effect and global warming.

What are some international agreements that aim to combat global warming?

Key international agreements to address global warming include the Earth Summit in Stockholm (1972), the Rio de Janeiro Protocol (1992), the Kyoto Protocol (1997), and the Bali Climate Change Conference (2007), along with other collaborations like the Asia-Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and Climate.

What are some environmental impacts of global warming?

Global warming causes a variety of environmental impacts, including rising sea levels (threatening small islands), the melting of polar ice caps, changes in weather patterns, coral bleaching, loss of biodiversity, and more extreme weather events.

What is coral bleaching, and how is it related to global warming?

Coral bleaching occurs when higher ocean temperatures cause corals to expel the algae living within them, leading to the corals turning white and eventually dying. This is a direct result of rising sea temperatures due to global warming.

How does global warming affect species diversity?

Global warming can lead to habitat loss, altered ecosystems, and extreme weather conditions that many species cannot adapt to, potentially causing a decrease in biodiversity as species that cannot adapt go extinct.

What are some ways we can mitigate global warming?

Mitigation strategies for global warming include reducing energy consumption, using renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, recycling and reducing waste, promoting reforestation, and adopting sustainable agriculture and transportation practices.
