The disadvantages of Green house effect

Description:

Reference Link: For Order: Email id: contact@myassignmenthelp.com Greenhouse effect is the mechanism by which thermal radiation from earth’s surface is reabsorbed by greenhouse gases and redirected in all directions. Some of the major green house gases are water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane and ozone. Most of these gases are poor absorbers of solar radiation, therefore allowing much of the solar energy to pass through the earth’s atmosphere thereby warming up the earth’s surface. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

Title: The disadvantages of Green house effect


1

Introduction
The Green house effect is the chief cause of
climate change which in turn is the primary
factor responsible for climate change. Before we
understand the main disadvantages of global
warming, it is essential to understand what the
green house effect is.

The Greenhouse Effect Explained
  • Greenhouse effect is the mechanism by which
    thermal radiation from earths surface is
    reabsorbed by greenhouse gases and redirected in
    all directions. Some of the major green house
    gases are water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane
    and ozone. Most of these gases are poor absorbers
    of solar radiation, therefore allowing much of
    the solar energy to pass through the earths
    atmosphere thereby warming up the earths surface.

The Greenhouse Effect Explained
  • On the other hand, a proportion of the outgoing
    energy is absorbed by these gases, which is then
    redirected to earths surface therefore further
    warming up the atmosphere. This is what is called
    a greenhouse effect. For ages there has been a
    delicate balance between how much solar energy is
    redirected to earth and how much is reflected
    back to the space.

The Disadvantages of Green House Effect
  • Since green house gases helps to maintain the
    temperature, the primary effect of the increase
    in greenhouse gases would be on climate. This
    would mean warmer summers with natural disasters.
    Hurricanes have become common in recent years.
  • Water level balance of the earth would be
    destroyed. Polar ice caps would melt leading to
    an increase in the ocean level. Floods will
    inundate low lying areas.

6
The Disadvantages of Green House Effect
  • Marine life and ecosystem would be destroyed.
    Oceans absorb carbon dioxide thereby affecting
    the level of alkalinity. Many forms of marine
    life would be adversely affected if alkalinity
    increases. Polar ecosystems would be destroyed.
  • Global warming would also affect the weather
    pattern. Rainfall would become erratic in many
    parts of the world. This might eventually lead to
    desertification.

7
The Disadvantages of Green House Effect
  • The effect on human and economic life would also
    be tremendous. It is estimated that the rise in
    temperature would reduce global output by 2 to 3
    percent. This cost would run into trillions of
    dollars. As agricultural production is affected,
    this might lead to frequent famines and famine
    related diseases.

The Disadvantages of Green House Effect

Overall the impact of increased green house
effect on climate and human life would be
disastrous. The world community therefore needs
to wakeup now before it is too late.
