NASA Greenhouse Gases Effect on Global Warming [HD]

The ‘greenhouse effect’ is the warming of climate that results when the atmosphere traps heat radiating from Earth toward space. Certain gases in the atmosphere resemble glass in a greenhouse, allowing sunlight to pass into the ‘greenhouse,’ but blocking Earth’s heat from escaping into space. The gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect include water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, nitrous oxides, and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).On Earth, human activities are changing the natural greenhouse. Over the last century the burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil has increased the concentration of atmospheric CO2. This happens because the coal or oil burning process combines carbon (C) with oxygen (O2) in the air to make CO2. To a lesser extent, the clearing of land for agriculture, industry, and other human activities have increased the concentrations of other greenhouse gases like methane (CH4), and further increased (CO2).The consequences of changing the natural atmospheric greenhouse are difficult to predict, but certain effects seem likely:- On average, Earth will become warmer. Some regions may welcome warmer temperatures, but others may not.- Warmer conditions will probably lead to more evaporation and precipitation overall, but individual regions will vary, some becoming wetter and others dryer.- A stronger greenhouse effect will probably warm the oceans and partially melt glaciers and other ice, increasing sea level. Ocean water also will expand if it warms, contributing to further sea level rise.- Meanwhile, some crops and other plants may respond favorably to increased atmospheric CO2, growing more vigorously and using water more efficiently. At the same time, higher temperatures and shifting climate patterns may change the areas where crops grow best and affect the makeup of natural plant communities.

The leading event mitigating the world’s most costly disasters is returning to the Miami Beach

Convention Center and we want you to join us at the industry’s central platform for emergency management professionals.

Disasters Expo USA is proud to provide a central platform for the industry to connect and

engage with the industry’s leading professionals to better prepare, protect, prevent, respond

and recover from the disasters of today.

Hosting a dedicated platform for the convergence of disaster risk reduction, the keynote line up for Disasters Expo USA 2024 will provide an insight into successful case studies and

programs to accurately prepare for disasters. Featuring sessions from the likes of FEMA,

NASA, NOAA, TSA and many more this event is certainly providing you with the knowledge

required to prepare, respond and recover to disasters.

With over 50 hours worth of unmissable content, exciting new features such as their Disaster

Resilience Roundtable, Emergency Response Live, an Immersive Hurricane Simulation and

much more over just two days, you are guaranteed to gain an all-encompassing insight into

the industry to tackle the challenges of disasters.

By uniting global disaster risk management experts, well experienced emergency

responders and the leading innovators from the world, the event is the hub of the solutions

that provide attendees with tools that they can use to protect the communities and mitigate

the damage from disasters.

Tickets for the event are $119, but we have been given the promo code: HUGI100 that will

enable you to attend the event for FREE!
