Global Warming

Global warming is caused by humans increasing greenhouse gases through industrialization and burning fossil fuels, which traps heat in the atmosphere. Over the past few centuries, increased burning of coal, oil, natural gas, and gasoline has released gases like carbon dioxide that are building up in the atmosphere and acting like a thickening greenhouse gas blanket that traps the sun's heat. This causes the planet to warm up in a phenomenon known as the greenhouse effect and global warming. Effects of global warming include increased temperatures, rising sea levels, habitat damage and animal migration, and more frequent extreme weather events like floods and droughts. Proposed solutions involve reducing fossil fuel consumption, avoiding plastic burning, conserving energy, increasing afforestation, and controlling population growth

What is global warming?
•Global Warming is the theory that we as humans
are increasing greenhouse gases through
industrialization causing more gases and
increasing the amount of sunlight that gets caught
and heats the Earth.
Over the past few centuries,
people have been burning
more amounts of fuels such
as coal, oil, natural gas and
gasoline. The gases such as
carbondioxide, formed by the
burning, are building up in the
atmosphere and act like
greenhouse gases. These
greenhouse gases which
cover the atmosphere like a
thickening blanket, trap the
sun’s heat and causing the
planet to warm up.
The Greenhouse Effect traps heat inside
the Earth’s atmosphere. This causes our
climate increasing in temperature. This is
known as Global Warming.
KEY WORDS
Greenhouse gases :- the thick layer of gases that catches
the sun’s rays and
heats the earth. Eg:- carbondioxide,methane.

Industrialization :- to adapt a country or group to industrial


methods of production and manufacturing.

Gasolene :- U.S.petroleum

Fuel :- a source which provides energy


Example of the
Greenhouse Effect
The Sun’s energy
passes through the
car’s windshield.

This energy (heat)


is trapped inside
the car and cannot
pass back through
the windshield,
causing the inside
of the car to warm
up.
Why is global warming happening?

Pollution from coal,


natural gas, and oil
