    Global warming is caused primarily by greenhouse gases released from human activities like burning fossil fuels. Man-made causes include emissions from factories, vehicles, deforestation, agriculture, and farming. Deforestation reduces the number of trees that convert carbon dioxide to oxygen through photosynthesis. Agriculture contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions through nitrous oxide and methane production, as well as changes to land use. These human activities have increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere beyond acceptable levels, raising the earth's surface temperature.

    CAUSES OF GLOBAL WARMING

    Presented by Group 1
    WHAT IS GLOBAL WARMING?

    Global warming is the unusually rapid increase in Earth’s average surface


    temperature over the past century primarily due to the greenhouse gases
    released by people burning fossil fuels.
    SO WHAT LEADS TO
    GLOBAL WARMING?
    Natural causes Man-made causes
    1
    Natural causes
    Solar activity
    - Our sun is getting bigger and bigger, so it
    also produces more solar radiation during
    its nuclear fusion activity. Harmful rays of
    the Sun are absorbed by the ozone layer
    and Earth's magnetic field.
    - However, they still contribute to climate
    change since some of this radiation
    remains in the atmosphere and then be
    stored as heat. Therefore, this increases
    the average temperature of the planet.
    Emissions of methane (methane is a
    colorless, odorless flammable gas which
    is the main constituent of natural gas)
    are in large quantities from the Arctic
    and wetlands.
    The ash after the volcano erupts is also one of the causes contributing
    to global warming.
    In the case of natural causes, those have been contributing to the
    global warming of the planet for thousands and thousands of years.
    However, these types of causes are not important enough to give rise
    to the climate change that the entire planet is suffering today.
    2
    Man-made causes
    ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FROM HUMAN ACTIVITIES
    (Construction, Economy, Science, etc)

    Human activity since the industrial revolution


    has increased the number of greenhouse gases in
    the atmosphere, increasing the force of magnetic
    radiation, CO2, methane, tropospheric ozone,
    CFCs, and nitrogen oxides.
    RISING GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
    In the process of industrialization, a series of
    factories tend to emit exhaust gases, wastes
    directly into the environment.
    Besides, as the Earth's population is shooting up
    at a startling pace, smoke from billions of vehicles
    using fossil fuels such as petrol and oil are
    incessantly generated.

    As a result, the quantity of CO2 in the atmosphere


    would exceed the acceptable level and raise the
    temperature of the earth's surface.
    DEFORESTATION

    Another man-made cause of global warming is the


    deforestation of many of the planet's forests, causing
    carbon dioxide to rise throughout the atmosphere.
    Trees convert CO2 into oxygen through photosynthesis,
    and with deforestation reducing the number of trees
    available to convert CO2 into oxygen.
    The result of this is a concentration of CO2 in the
    atmosphere, which leads to an increase in global
    warming and therefore a larger increase in temperature.
    AGRICULTURE AND FARMING

    - Nitrous Oxide and Methane production have


    a significantly higher global warming potential
    than Carbon Dioxide.
    - According to statistics, agriculture contributes a
    significant share of the greenhouse gas emissions
    that are causing climate change – 17% directly
    through agricultural activities and an additional
    7-14% through changes in land use.
    As being widely known, Australia is a country with a developed
    agricultural background. Strikingly, Australian farming contributes
    16% of our total greenhouse gas emissions.
