Storms are expected to be more
frequent and more intense in awarmer world. Water will alsoevaporate more rapidly fromsoil, causing it to dry out faster
between rains. Some regionsmight actually become drierthan before

As the atmosphere warm s, the surface
layer of the ocean warm s as well,expanding in volume and thus raisingsea level. The m elt ing of glaciers and icesheets, especially around Greenland,

For some time it was hoped that a positiveeffect of global warming would beincreased agricultural yields, because of
the role of carbon dioxide inphotosynthesis but climate change willdecrease the overall productivity

Causes of Global WarmingCauses of Global Warming
n Green House Effect: The namecomes from an incorrectanalogy with the warming of air
inside a greenhouse comparedto the air outside thegreenhouse. The greenhouseeffect was discovered by Joseph
Fourier in 1824 and firstinvestigated quantitatively bySvante Arrhenius in 1896.

Types of Green House GasesTypes of Green House Gases
n Carbon dioxide: The process of burning invariablyemits carbon dioxide. Burning fossil fuels like diesel,petrol, or gas is a major carbon dioxide producer.
The smoke emitted by various industries andfactories, coal fired electrical power plants, using firewood as fuel all add to the total carbon dioxide
levelsn Methane: Dumped, decaying garbage is a source of
methane and cow dung also emits methane. Tosome extent these methane can be made use as afuel for cooking purpose by setting up bio-gas plantswhich is fuelled by cow dung or by bio-degradable
waste.n Nitrous Oxide: Released primarily by plowing farm soils
and burning fossil fuels. Nitrous oxide traps about300 times more heat than does the same amount ofcarbon dioxide. Nitrous oxide is also released duringvarious agricultural and industrial processes.
n Chloro Fluro Carbons: Are widely used in refrigerators,air conditioners and in aerosol s ra s. The chloro

280,000 square miles of ice disappeared in a year.From 1958-1976, the average thickness of ice was 10feet.Now, the ice is less than 4 feet.Increased methane release in the air.In 2007, the Arctic ice was at its 30 year low.

Drive less. Take bikes, walk or carpool whenever possible.n
n Replace all the light bulbs in and around your home withenergy-efficient fluorescents that use fewer watts for thesame amount of light
n Choose energy-efficient appliances when it's time to buy newones.
n Decrease your air travel.
n Cut down on your garbagebuy fewer packaged materials toprevent further global warming.
n Unplug electronics when they are not in use, because they stilltake up energy. At the very least, turn items off whentheyre not being used.
