Module 1: Understanding Global Warming Definition: What is global warming? The role of greenhouse gases. Scientific Projections: Expected temperature rise by the end of the 21st century. Module 2: Causes of Global Warming Carbon Dioxide Emissions: From power plants and vehicles. Methane Emissions: Contribution from livestock. Deforestation: Impact of cutting down trees. Chemical Fertilizers: Role in greenhouse gas emissions. Module 3: Effects of Global Warming Environmental Impacts: Crop failures and changes in rainfall patterns. Rising sea levels and coastal flooding. Destruction of habitats (e.g., coral reefs). Weather Extremes: Increased frequency of storms, floods, and droughts. More intense heatwaves and fewer cold days. Health Impacts: Increase in allergies, asthma, and infectious diseases. Biodiversity Loss: Extinction of plant and animal species. Emergence of New Insects: Effects on agriculture and urban areas. Module 4: Mitigation Strategies Awareness and Education: Spreading knowledge about global warming and its effects. Sustainable Practices: Reduce, reuse, and recycle. Use public transport and carpooling. Renewable Energy: Minimize the use of fossil fuels. Reforestation: Planting more trees to absorb carbon dioxide. Energy Efficiency: Replace regular bulbs with energy-efficient ones. Smart Driving: Reduce vehicle emissions through efficient driving practices.

An interest in environmental science and sustainability. Willingness to adopt sustainable practices.
