Our Beautiful Planet: 

Our Beautiful Planet

INTRODUCTION: 

INTRODUCTION A Beautiful planet Man with his technological advancement has reached moon and eyeing at other Planets Man ’s Actions against Nature Nature ’s Signals Glaciers are melting rapidly Ocean temperatures have increased. Sea levels have risen almost one foot

AIM: 

AIM To acquaint the class about “Global Warming” and discuss measures to be taken to Save the Earth

PREVIEW: 

PREVIEW Part – I Understanding Global Warming Part – II Understanding Greenhouse Effect & Ozone Layer Depletion Part – III Causes G lobal Warming Part – IV Effects of Global Warming PART – V Solutions PART – VI Helping Hand by NCC

What is this Global Warming: 

What is this Global Warming Global warming is when the earth heats up

Causes - Global Warming: 

Causes - Global Warming Green House Effect Ozone Layer Depletion

Green House Effect: 

Green House Effect It happens when greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxide, and methane) trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere, which increases the temperature. Nitrous oxide Water Carbon dioxide Sulfur hexafluoride

Why it happens?: 

Why it happens? Burning carbon-containing fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide 37%

PowerPoint Presentation: 

Nitrous oxide from fertilizers and other chemicals

Ozone Layer Depletion: 

Ozone Layer Depletion Ozone is present in the stratosphere. The ultra violet rays of sun are absorbed by the ozone in the stratosphere and protects the Earth from the harmful ultraviolet rays

Ozone Layer Depletion - Causes: 

Ozone Layer Depletion - Causes The production and emission of CFCs, chlorofluorocarbons which are used in refrigerators, home insulation, plastic foam, and throwaway food containers.

Global Warming - Effects: 

Global Warming - E ffects June 2002 Dec 2003 Colorado River, Arizona

Global Warming - Effectss: 

Global Warming - E ffects s 1914 2004 Portage Glacier, Alaska

Global Warming - Effects: 

Global Warming - Effects Geographical effects Climate change Wildlife humans

PowerPoint Presentation: 

The Arctic Ocean could be ice-free in summer by 2040 (U.S National Center for Atmospheric Research, 2006) “Society can still minimize the impacts on Arctic ice.” Dr. Marika Holland, National Center for Atmospheric Research 2000 2040 Melting Sea Ice

PowerPoint Presentation: 

Sea-level rise projections : a few inches to a few feet 2 ft: U.S. would lose 10,000 square miles 3 ft: Would inundate Miami Affects erosion, loss of wetlands, freshwater supplies Half of the world’s population lives along coasts Big question: Ice sheets

PowerPoint Presentation: 

As the temperature of oceans rise, so will the probability of more frequent and stronger hurricanes . Warmer waters and more hurricanes

PowerPoint Presentation: 

Increased probability and intensity of droughts and heat waves

PowerPoint Presentation: 

Increase in frequent volcanic eruptions due to rise in temperatures

PowerPoint Presentation: 

Forest fire increased due to hot winds

Wildlife effects: 

Wildlife effects

Effects on human beings: 

Effects on human beings

PowerPoint Presentation: 

Human Health - S pread of disease As northern countries warm, disease carrying insects migrate north, bringing swine flu and other disease with them.

Human Health and Agriculture: 

Human Health and Agriculture Agriculture – Main Source of Income Factors endangering the crops Precipitation Evaporation More People are going to starve 40-300 million people in addition to the 600 million already projected to be starving in 2060

Human Health and Water Supply: 

Human Health and Water Supply With inc of annual precipitation and the amount of ice converted to freshwater from the polar ice caps there will be increased sea level 2100 of as 40 centimeters Rise in sea level will destroy human dwellings Places of agricultural production Sea-side aquifers resulting in depletion of general water supply for humankind

Human Health and Air Conditions: 

Human Health and Air Conditions The amount of smog that is created by nitrous oxide, the ground, will increase resulting in the fatally warm summer days increase the potential of lung infection which can lead to death

What can we do? - solutions: 

What can we do? - solutions HIGH TIME TO BE ALARMED

Advantages of 3R’s: 

Advantages of 3R’s Reduction of wastages Less pollution Efficient use of resources Increase in energy

PowerPoint Presentation: 

REDUCE USE Plastic bags and cups do not decompose so harmful to environment Paper bags and cups are eco friendly and easily decomposable Reduce the usage of cars for short distances Walk /use cycles for short distances

PowerPoint Presentation: 

Avoid turning up the air conditioner. Instead dress lightly or use a fan. Keep rooms cool by closing the blinds, shades, or curtains. Turn off the lights when you leave. Conserve electricity! DO NOT leave appliances on standby

PowerPoint Presentation: 

Turn to compact florescent light which saves more than 80% of energy

PowerPoint Presentation: 

Use alternate energy courses Alternate energy sources Nuclear Wind Geothermal Hydroelectric Solar Fusion

NCC INITIATIVE: 

NCC INITIATIVE Creating awareness amongst the Cadet Awareness in the Parents One Cadet One treeTree Plantation Awareness Rally Earth day – 22 Apr Save the Electricity – 27 February

THE MAIN THING ONE CAN DO TO STOP GLOBAL WARMING IS TO BRING A CHANGE IN ATTITUDE AND BEHAVIOR. ONLY THEN WILL WE SURVIVE.:
