Effects of Global Warming

by Gogreen India Go Green India Global warming is defined as an increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere, especially a sustained increase significant enough to cause changes in the global climate. The term global warming is synonymous with an enhanced greenhouse effect, implying an increase in the amount of greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere, leading to entrapment of more and more solar radiations, and thus increasing the overall temperature of the earth.

With the temperature rising on the surfaces of the Earth, disasters like floods, droughts and hurricanes are getting more frequent. Over the last 100 years, the average air temperature near the Earth's surface has risen by a little less than 1 degree Celsius or 1.3 degrees Fahrenheit. Deforestation increases the severity of global warming. Burning fossil fuels such as natural gas, coal, oil and gasoline raises the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and carbon dioxide is a major contributor to the greenhouse effect and global warming. The climate change would increase the number of people suffering from death, disease and injury from heat waves, floods, storms and droughts. Floods are low-probability, high-impact events that can overwhelm physical infrastructure and human communities. Major storm and flood disasters have occurred in the last two decades. One can help to reduce the demand for fossil fuels, which in turn reduces global warming, by using energy more wisely. The effect of global warming on

the climate of India has led to climate disasters as per some experts. India is a disaster prone area, with the statistics of 27 out of 35 states being disaster prone, with floods being the most frequent disasters.

Therefore it becomes necessary to educate and empower people about Earth Care scenario to create healthy, just and sustainable communities and how to make good earth with the ways to mitigate them across SAARC (The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) nations. SAARC is an economic and geopolitical organization of eight countries that are primarily located in South Asia. It outlines the need for sustainable use of natural resources and suggests that the protection of resources should be incorporated into national and international systems of law. It has been responsible for the raising initiatives promoting the protection of these natural resources like water and land resources as life of people and wildlife depends on it. To achieve that we have to make efforts to conserve, protect, and restore all these valuable resources offered by Earth so that we can save all the living beings at risk. http://www.gogreenindia.co.in/
