Consequences of the greenhouse effect for the world

1. Consequences of the greenhouse effect for the world

2. Greenhouse gases

Water vapor
Carbon dioxide
Methane
Ozone
Fluorochlorine hydrocarbons
Nitric oxide

3. Where do greenhouse gases come from?

The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has been
steadily increasing for more than a century
because of the wide use of various types of fossil
fuels (coal and oil) as an energy source.
In addition, as a result of human activities, other
greenhouse gases also enter the atmosphere.
Despite the fact that they are produced in smaller
quantities, some of these gases are much more
dangerous in terms of global warming than
carbon dioxide.
Over the past hundred years, the average annual
global temperature has risen by 0.3 - 0.6 degrees
Celsius.

5. What is the greenhouse effect?

This is the expected warming of the climate, an
increase in the average annual temperature on Earth,
as a result of the accumulation of "greenhouse gases"
in the atmosphere, which transmit short-term sun
rays and prevent thermal, long-wave radiation from
the Earth's surface.

8. Negative effects of the greenhouse effect on the world

In arid regions, rains will become
even rarer and they will turn into
deserts, as a result of which people
and animals will have to leave them.
If the temperature on Earth
increases, many animals will not be
able to adapt to climate change

9.

Dwelling land will be reduced, due to
flooding of land areas, because
a) water, becoming less dense and
warming, expansion of sea water will
lead to a general increase in sea level;
b) the increase in temperature can
melt some of the perennial ice covering
some parts of the land, for example,
Antarctica or high mountain ranges.

10.

Many plants will die from lack
of moisture and animals will
have to move to other places in
search of food and water.
If the rise in temperature leads
to the death of many plants,
many species of animals will
also die after them.

11.

Harvest of the main crops can be
reduced due to diseases caused by
harmful insects, because an increase
in temperature will accelerate their
reproduction.
Soils in some areas will be of little use
for the cultivation of basic crops.
Global warming would probably
accelerate the decomposition of
organic matter in soils, which would
lead to an additional intake of carbon
dioxide and methane into the
atmosphere and accelerate the
greenhouse effect.

12. Positive effects of the greenhouse effect

increase in the duration of the growing season in the
middle and high latitudes.
Increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide can
accelerate photosynthesis.

13. Solution of the problem of greenhouse effect

The restoration of soil and vegetation cover with
maximum reserves of organic matter.
Replacement of fossil fuels with other energy
sources - environmentally friendly, not requiring
the consumption of oxygen.
Use of water and wind energy.
The struggle against the reduction of the vegetative
cover of the Earth (since many plants purify the air
of greenhouse gases).
