SLIDE 1:
"Good morning, everyone! Before we start, let me
ask you a question: Have you noticed how
summers are getting hotter and winters shorter?
SLIDE:2
[Pause for a moment, then point to the slide] This
brings us to our topic—global warming.
SLIDE:3
It is the unusual and rapid rise in Earth's average
temperature over the past century. This issue
affects not just our weather but our entire planet.

Let's dive deeper to understand its causes, effects,


and what we can do to make a difference."

DEVANSH
SLIDE-4(CAUSES)
SLIDE:5
"Alright, everyone, let me ask you something—
how many of you love road trips or traveling by
plane? Quite a few, I’m sure! Well, did you know
that transportation is one of the biggest culprits
behind global warming?

Think about it—millions of vehicles burning fossil


fuels every single day. They release truckloads of
carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. With the
world traveling and trading like there’s no
tomorrow, emissions are off the charts, making
transportation a serious troublemaker.
SLIDE-6
Then there’s deforestation. Cutting down trees for
farming, buildings, or other reasons is a major
problem. Trees absorb carbon dioxide, and
without them, this harmful gas stays in the
atmosphere and heats up the planet.

ANKIT
SLIDE-7
Next, industries. Factories that produce things like
cement, chemicals, and other goods release a lot
of harmful gases. They also use huge amounts of
energy and create waste, which damages our
environment even more.
SLIDE-8
Lastly, agriculture. Farming, especially raising
animals like cows, produces a gas called methane,
which is even stronger than carbon dioxide. Poor
farming methods also damage the land and
release more harmful gases.
All these activities are pushing our planet toward
a serious climate crisis.

RISHABH
SLIDE-9 + SLIDE-10
"Alright, everyone, let’s heat things up—literally!
We’ve talked about what causes global warming,
but what about its impact?

SLIDE-11
Before diving into that, let me introduce you to
three troublemakers behind global warming—
Carbon dioxide (CO₂), Methane (CH₄), and Nitrous
oxide (N₂O). These greenhouse gases might sound
harmless, but don’t be fooled!
SLIDE-12(RISING TEMPERATUTRE)
SLIDE-13
Here’s how they work:
When the sun’s energy reaches Earth, some of it
bounces back into space. But greenhouse gases
trap this heat, absorbing it and sending it back
down to us. This is called the greenhouse effect.
It’s a natural process that keeps our planet warm
enough for life. Sounds great, right? But here’s the
problem—humans have gone overboard! Burning
fossil fuels, cutting down forests, and other
activities have pumped way too much of these
gases into the air. Now, the Earth is heating up
faster than ever.
And this rising temperature is no joke!
DEVANSH
SLIDE-14
The heat from climate change is dangerous. It can
cause heat illnesses like heat stroke and make
breathing problems worse due to air pollution.
Crops may not grow well, leading to food and
water shortages, and vulnerable groups like the
elderly are at higher risk. Higher temperatures can
also lower work productivity and cause stress due
to extreme weather and displacement.
RAJAT
SLIDE:15
"Hey everyone, let’s take a look at how our planet
has been warming up over the years. It’s not just
something we talk about—it’s happening right
before our eyes!
On average, global temperatures have been rising
by about 0.2 to 0.3 degrees Celsius (0.4 to 0.5
degrees Fahrenheit) every decade. This might
sound small, but it adds up over time—around
0.02 to 0.03 degrees Celsius each year
Over the past 100 years, the Earth’s temperature
has gone up by about 1.2 degrees Celsius (2.2
degrees Fahrenheit) since the pre-industrial
period. That’s a huge change, and it’s not the
same everywhere. Some places are warming
faster than others due to specific climate patterns.
SLIDE-16
As we can clearly see from the graph both change
in temperature of world and India is seriously
alarming This really highlight the changes and
urgency of tackling the issue
ANSHU
SLIDE-17(CONSEQUENCES)

SLIDE-18
1: LOSS OF Habitat

Imagine a world where animals can’t survive


where they used to. What happens when their
homes disappear?
As temperatures rise, ecosystems and habitats are
being disrupted. Many species are being pushed
beyond their tolerance limits, leading to a higher
risk of extinction.
Are we ready to witness the loss of precious
wildlife? Can we afford to let these species
disappear forever? It’s up to us to protect their
future and our planet’s health."
SLIDE-19
2: Rising Sea Levels
"Global warming is causing sea levels to rise
through the thermal expansion of water and the
melting of ice caps and glaciers. This leads to
coastal erosion, flooding, and the destruction of
ecosystems and human settlements along the
coast. Entire communities are at risk as sea levels
continue to rise."

SLIDE-20
[3: Extreme Weather]
"Climate change is causing more extreme weather
patterns, with some areas experiencing severe
droughts and others facing intense floods. These
unpredictable weather shifts threaten food and
water security, making it harder for people to
survive and for agriculture to thrive."
ANKIT
SLIDE-21
4: Forest Fires
"A hotter, drier climate is fueling more frequent
and destructive forest fires. Dry vegetation like
plants, trees, and leaves easily catch fire, leading
to widespread wildfires that devastate large areas
of forest, wildlife, and human property."
SUMIT
SLIDE-22
As we've seen, the melting of glaciers is a major
consequence of global warming. Glaciers,
especially in the Arctic and Antarctic, are rapidly
melting due to rising global temperatures. To put
it into perspective:

SLIDE-23
Now that we've seen the impact of melting
glaciers, let's take a moment to experience it
visually. I’m going to show you a video that brings
the story of glaciers to life. Please pay close
attention to the message it conveys about the
future of our planet.

SLIDE-27

: Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions

"To tackle global warming, we must reduce


greenhouse gas emissions. Here’s how:

1. Switch to Renewable Energy:


Move from fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas) to clean
sources like solar, wind, and hydropower to cut
carbon emissions.
2. Improve Energy Efficiency:
Enhance energy use in buildings, transport, and
industries with better insulation, energy-efficient
appliances, and low-carbon tech."

SUMIT
SLIDE-28
To help fight global warming, we need to protect
and restore nature. Planting trees and restoring
forests can absorb carbon dioxide from the air,
helping to slow down climate change. Wetlands,
like swamps and marshes, also store carbon and
prevent flooding. Taking care of these areas helps
protect wildlife and reduces the effects of
global warming."

SLIDE-29()
Regenerative farming can heal our land and lock
carbon away. Plant-based diets and reduced waste
lighten our planet's load. By ending deforestation,
we preserve Earth’s lifeline. Act now—because
nature’s resilience has limits, and so does time.

SLIDE-30
industries should adopt cleaner manufacturing to
use less energy, produce fewer pollutants, and
recycle waste. We should also promote energy-
efficient buildings that use sustainable materials,
reduce energy consumption, and lower emissions
through better insulation and smart technology.
RAJAT
SLIDE-31

Implementing carbon pricing, like taxes or cap-


and-trade, encourages businesses to cut
emissions by making pollution costly. Supporting
climate agreements, like the Paris Agreement,
helps countries commit to reducing emissions
globally. Stricter government regulations on
emissions and industry practices ensure a cleaner
environment
(ANSHU FIRST TWO LINE) + (ANKIT NEXT TWO LINE)

The Earth is crying, the skies turn grey,


But we have the power to lead the way.
With every action, no matter how small,
We can save the planet for one and all."

SLIDE-32
RAJAT
Thank you for your attention. Remember, as we
work together to tackle global warming, every
effort counts. Let us live by the motto:
TOGETHER
Take action today for a better tomorrow.'"
