GLOBAL WARMING

GLOBAL WARMING

MY EARTH AND I

We HOMO SAPIENS are the most mighty animals who rule the earth directly after the dinosaurs. Thus it is our job to look after it. All the resouces we need come directly from the environment. We depend on food for life which we get from the plants. Living organisms need oxygen to breathe which is present in the atmosphere. Plants also need carbon – di- oxide to breathe. It also must be noted that water is found abundantly on Earth which is needed for life. All weather changes takes place in the atmosphere.

WHAT IS GLOBAL WARMING?

THE RATE OF WARMING IS INCREASING. THE 20th CENTURY’S LAST TWO DECADES WERE THE HOTTEST IN 400 YEARS.
WHY ?
THE MAIN REASON COULD BE DUE TO THE ADVANCES IN TECHNOLOGY THAT RESULTS IN BURNING FOSSIL FUELS EFFICIENTLY.THE GASES LIKE METHANE, CARBON-DI-OXIDE ETC.REACH THE EARTH’S ATMOSPHERE AND ESCAPES INTO SPACE WHILE SOME OF IT GETS TRAPPED IN THE EARTH’S ATMOSPHERE. THUS THE EARTH GETS WARMED.THIS IS CALLED GLOBAL WARMING .

COMPONENTS OF THE ENVIRONMENT


BIOSPHERE
It is a narrow layer where all land ,water and air meet. Here organisms can be found from an ant to a huge elephant.

HYDROSPHERE
It is the domain of water. ‘Hydro’ in greek means water. We use it for many purposes.

ATMOSPHERE
It consists of many gases. It is the domain of air.

LITHOSPHERE
It is the domain of land ‘litho’ in greek means rock. We depend on it for all kinds of settlement.

SO WHICH DOMAIN THAT WE POLLUTE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR GLOBAL WARMING?

Well the answer is atmosphere. This can be also referred to as air pollution. For example oft that of a car. It leaves smoke which causes air pollution. It leaves more of carbon-monoxide which i9s a vicious gas. In the same way factories emit smoke which contributes to global warming. People now-a-days burn garbage which emits smoke but somewhat reduces land pollution a part of lithosphere.
Smoking a bad habit grown many people also contributes a lot to global warming. Not only that but it is bad for us too. It causes diseases in the lungs.One example is lung cancer.

WAYS TO PREVENT GLOBAL WARMING

• Use Recycled products. After using paper give it to the kabdiwallah for use. You can also make craft out of it. It saves a lot of fuel rather than burning it. NO smoke will also be emitted. Find other sources of paper too which saves many trees.
• What is your mode of transport to school?
If it is one of the vehicles stop being lazy and try going on bikes. Believe me it is fun. Even try to use public transit. For instance if a Group of four has to reach a destination ,instead of using each a car they can go together in one. Try using the inflated one in case you have two!
•The smoke left in factories must be treated before let free.


Posters
We can spread awareness among the people about global warming through posters and blogs.
