What is global warming? Global warming is the rise in earth’s atmospheric temperatures due to the Green House Effect of the Green House Gases Such as Carbon dioxide, Water vapors, Methane, Nitrous Oxides ,Ozone chloro-fluorocarbons etc. Climate Change .. likely to be the most important environmental challenge of the 21st century; has enormous human, social, ecological, and economic implications Global Ozone Depletion Causes of Global Warming The Volcanoes and Forest Fires are the natural causes of Global Warming from the Pre- historic times Causes of Global Warming increase the concentration of Green House Gases in the atmosphere Evidence of global warming A: Physical Evidence Rise in atmospheric temperature (land sea) Shifting and shrinking of cooling period with prolonged warmer duration and hastened spring season Rise in sea water level and melting of glaciers Occurrence of climatic extreme natural disaster Spatial pattern of climate (rain fall temperature) has changed markedly Number of cloudy days have reduced drastically pH of sea water has decreased by 0.13-0.35. Evidence of global warming B: Biological Evidence Early blossoming of trees—mango,cherry Appearance of grasses in Antarctic Changes in cropping pattern from wheat to maize Geographical shifting of temperate fruits toward high latitude Causality in Europe due to high temperature Vulnerability of frog to devastating fungus Killing of large Dimb tree population in Senegal Spatial shifting of marine fish population Northward movement of ticks and bleaching of corals Kilimanjaro Example 20 percent Polar ice cap melted (Courtesy NASA) Antarctica Melting in 30 years Large icebergs float Sea off Greenland Water Availability will be reduced by 33% What makes India more susceptible  to Climate Change? Densely populated (rural and urban) - substantial poverty. Large coast
