Introduction about Global Warming
May 5th, 2007 | 
Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation.
Global average air temperature near the Earth’s surface rose 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.3 ± 0.32 °F) during the past century. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes, “most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations,” which leads to warming of the surface and lower atmosphere by increasing the greenhouse effect. Natural phenomena such as solar variation combined with volcanoes have probably had a small warming effect from pre-industrial times to 1950, but a small cooling effect since 1950. These basic conclusions have been endorsed by at least 30 scientific societies and academies of science, including all of the national academies of science of the major industrialized countries. The American Association of Petroleum Geologists is the only scientific society that rejects these conclusions, and a few individual scientists also disagree with parts of them.
Climate models referenced by the IPCC project that global surface temperatures are likely to increase by 1.1 to 6.4 °C (2.0 to 11.5 °F) between 1990 and 2100. The range of values reflects the use of differing scenarios of future greenhouse gas emissions and results of models with differences in climate sensitivity. Although most studies focus on the period up to 2100, warming and sea level rise are expected to continue for more than a millennium even if greenhouse gas levels are stabilized. This reflects the large heat capacity of the oceans.
An increase in global temperatures can in turn cause other changes, including sea level rise, and changes in the amount and pattern of precipitation. There may also be changes in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, though it is difficult to connect specific events to global warming. Other effects may include changes in agricultural yields, glacier retreat, reduced summer streamflows, species extinctions and increases in the ranges of disease vectors.
We call the result global warming, but it is causing a set of changes to the Earth’s climate, or long-term weather patterns, that varies from place to place. As the Earth spins each day, the new heat swirls with it, picking up moisture over the oceans, rising here, settling there. It’s changing the rhythms of climate that all living things have come to rely upon.
What will we do to slow this warming? How will we cope with the changes we’ve already set into motion? While we struggle to figure it all out, the face of the Earth as we know it-coasts, forests, farms and snow-capped mountains-hangs in the balance.

I think blog very informative about Global Warming. This statment is very true that we are not aware about global Warming and how it effects our world.
I go thru with the article and it seems very useful and informative. It giving us awareness about Global warming
I go thru with the article and it seems very useful and informative. It giving us awareness about Global warming
I think this is information is not enough for people awareness. Please gave some more information about global warming.
I think this blog is very impressive. But tell me some more reasons of Global Warming. How does we avoid the Global Warming.
I am agree with Bhuvan Chand Juyal. Please gave some more information about global warming.
Bhuvan you are right this is not a sufficiant informatoin. They should give more information about global warming. According to me global warming is very harmfull for next generation. Sceintists should invent some equipments to stop “Global Warming”. Many of the Gizmos & Gezzets will useless, when Globle Warming will take place.
Hi Ajeet,
I am agree with you and your information.
This is the most relevant topic of this time. Becuase our earth in danger. And we are not aware the danger of global warming.
hi tarun,
I think you give us more information about global warming.
I think this blog aware we about global warming effects.
Thanks all of you for your great response. This blog is open for all, please give your quotes upon global warming. By which more people understand and aware the global warming effects and causes.
I think this not complete information about global warming. Please gave me complete information.
We want more information about global warming.
Scientists often use the term “climate change” instead of global warming. This is because as the Earth’s average temperature climbs, winds and ocean currents move heat around the globe in ways that can cool some areas, warm others, and change the amount of rain and snow falling. As a result, the climate changes differently in different areas.
Climate experts and representatives from 105 countries released a 24-page report on means of mitigating the worse impacts of global warming after five days of heated debates to reach a consensus on the document.
Many climate experts claim that the costs of saving the planet are miniscule compared with global warming’s potential damages, but it is important that politicians also acknowledge this in the IPCC’s third report of 2007.

I am agree with satish.
He kicked off 100 years of climate research that has given us a sophisticated understanding of global warming.
What will we do to slow this warming?
Historically, Earth’s climate has regularly shifted back and forth between temperatures like those we see today and temperatures cold enough that large sheets of ice covered much of North America and Europe.
We call the result global warming, but it is causing a set of changes to the Earth’s climate, or long-term weather patterns, that varies from place to place.
Im not sure if we humans are to blamb for the current global warming but i do think that any time a red flag is raised it would be smart to give some head to it. it wouldnt hurt to be more earth contious.
