Climate is getting warmer day by day thanks to the emission of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This is just because of the reason that the concentrations of main greenhouse gases have reached their highest level since pre-industrial times. Rise in the emission of greenhouse gases resulted in the increase of radiation in the atmosphere, which in turn warm the surface of the earth.
Methane, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, which are released by vehicles and industries were responsible for the climate change. These gases would not harm the atmosphere if they are under permissible limit. If exceed the limit then they harmful to the atmosphere. Radiation
Coming into the atmosphere rose by 27.5 percent during the period 1990-2009, and witnessed one percent increase in the year 2009 alone.
• Carbon dioxide is one of the most important greenhouse gases which are contributing more than 63 percent for radiation in the atmosphere.
Human activity is major cause for the emission of carbon dioxide. Emission from vehicles, industries contributes a lot for the carbon emission. Burning fossil fuels, deforestation are other reasons for the cause.
The amount already exceeded in the atmosphere, and it would take more than a century for carbon dioxide to disappear if emissions stopped with immediate effect, experts feel.
• Methane is one more greenhouse gas responsible for climate change.
Natural as well as human activities were responsible for the emission of methane in the atmosphere. More than 60 per cent accounts for human activities such as cattle rearing, fossil fuel exploitation, rice planting and landfills. On the other hand, increased rainfall on wetlands, melting of the Arctic icecap was natural emissions of methane.
Effects
• In the long term it may threaten food security at global level which is a main concern for many countries? In February, 2011, global food prices hit a record high.
• Floods and drought were the direct results of climate change.
Governments should take immediate steps to check the emission of greenhouse gases; otherwise future generation may pay the price for it.

Global Climate Change:Who is Responsible? 2 years 29 weeks ago

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) ,Climate change refers to “Any change in climate over time whether it is due to natural variability or as a result of human activity”. Ever since 1750, human activities have led to a severe increase in global concentration of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide in the atmosphere. The global increase of nitrous oxide and methane in the atmosphere is mainly due to agriculture while carbon dioxide concentration is associated primarily to the use of fossil fuel and land use change.......................

Effect of Climate Change on Allergies 2 years 9 weeks ago

Climate change is considered to be the culprit responsible for many of Earth’s recent changes, including melting polar ice caps, rising sea levels and increased amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) in our air. Climate change, also called global warming, has been studied in recent years to find the cause and effect of our changing climate. Some studies have focused on the effect climate change may have on human health in the years to come. One of the major concerns about climate change is the rising levels of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere.

What Is Biofuel? 18 weeks 5 days ago

Fossil fuels are fuels made from remains of animals and plants fossilised many millions of years ago. Examples of fossil fuel are cruel oil and natural gas. As can be imagine, there is a limit to the amount of fossil gas. Biofuels are fuels made from plants. It is considered a form of renewable energy. In principle, biofuels has zero-emission of greenhouse gas.

A Short Explanation of Global Warming Statistics And Its Connections To The Industrial Revolution 1 year 23 weeks ago

From the start of the earth, climate has changed from decade to decade. The reason for this is that volcanic eruptions caused a change in the orbit of the earth and by this they also changed the sun's energy which is linked to earth's climate. But in the middle of the 20th Century the increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases (these are gases which absorb and emit radiation) that are caused by human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation caused the temperature to go up more than ever before.

EPA finds greenhouse gases pose a danger to health 3 years 5 weeks ago

The action by the Environmental Protection Agency marks the first step toward requiring power plants, cars and trucks to curtail their release of climate-changing pollution, especially carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels.
EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said while the agency is prepared to move forward with regulations under the Clean Air Act, the Obama administration would prefer that Congress addressed the climate issue through “cap-and-trade” legislation limiting pollution that can contribute to global warming.
