4. GREENHOUSE GASES
A greenhouse gas (sometimes
abbreviated GHG) is a gas in an atmosphere
that absorbs and emits radiation within
the thermal infrared range. This process is the
fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect .
The primary greenhouse gases in the Earth's
atmosphere are water vapor, carbon
dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone

6. • Around 115,000 years ago,
the Earth was in it's
warmest phase on record,
yet the carbon dioxide levels
The Real Picture
were among the lowest ever
recorded.
• Over the last 200 or so
years, the carbon dioxide
levels have sky-rocketed,
mainly due to mankind, yet
the temperature has only
risen a half a degree Celsius.
8. Worlds’ GDP Vs Global
Warming
With increase in Global warming
over 100s of years, the world GDP
has only increased many folds ,thus
they are not related
16. Service Sector In Economies
• the last 30 years, there has been a
substantial shift from the primary and
secondary sectors to the tertiary sector in
industrialised countries. This shift is
called tertiarisation.
• The tertiary sector is now the largest sector
of the economy in the Western world, and is
also the fastest-growing sector.

20. The Kyoto Protocol is
a protocol to the United
Nations Framework
Convention on Climate
Change (UNFCCC or FCCC),
aimed at fighting global
warming.
The UNFCCC is an
international environmental
treaty with the goal of
achieving the "stabilization
of greenhouse
gas concentrations in
the atmosphere at a level
that would
preventdangerous
anthropogenic
interference with the
climate system.
21. Countries like Brazil, China and India have no obligation beyond
Kyoto Economy
monitoring and reporting emission.
The United States is the only developed country that has not
ratified the treaty and is one of the significant greenhouse gas emitters.
