Global Warming

What is Global Warming?

An increase in the average temperature of the earth's atmosphere, especially a sustained increase sufficient to cause climatic change is called Global Warming.

Causes for Global Warming

A report issued in 2001 by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that it is "virtually certain" that emissions of carbon dioxide due to fossil fuel burning are the main cause of increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide during the 21st century.

Effects of Global Warming

The predicted effects of global warming are many and various, both for the environment and for human life. The primary effect is an increasing global average temperature. From this flow a variety of secondary effects, including rising sea levels, altered patterns of agriculture, increased extreme weather events, and the expansion of the range of tropical diseases. In some cases, the effects may already be being experienced, although it is generally difficult to attribute specific natural phenomena to long-term global warming.

Preventive measures employed for Global Warming

Global Warming Prevention Measures Strategic Committee was established to reinforce global warming measures in every sphere of business. Reduction targets have been set  for fiscal 2010 for direct emissions of greenhouse gases from plants, sites and offices. Also strive to improve environmental efficiency throughout the life cycle by grasping and evaluating CO2 emissions as part of  efforts to reduce indirect emissions through environmental burden reduction activities, and to contribute to reduction by customers through provision of ecofriendly products and solutions.

Drawbacks of Present Technology

Efforts are still made only to prevent Global Warming. We assume Global Warming also, to be a natural phenomenon and we have already crossed our limits in preventing it.

Ex: The nature and rapidity of the change in temperature over the 20th Century is very different from that over the previous 1000 years. In particular the recent years have been the warmest over that entire period. 1998 was the warmest year in the global instrumental record, and a more striking statistic is that each of the first eight months of 1998 was the warmest of those months in the instrumental record - suggesting that the earth really is warming up and one day the entire land will be covered with water.

Ultimate Goal

It is clear from the above explanation that the present technology can only assure to prevent Global Warming. According to us the technology should work according to the goal and our ultimate goal is Human Survival.

Being Research Engineers we have made an attempt to suggest a solution to this so called Global Warming in the form of futuresystematization
