  GLOBAL WARMING   Introduction Global Warming is the increase in average temperature of the earths near surface air and oceans. Most of the observed temperature increase is caused by increase concentration of greenhouse gases.  Major gases                             water vapour     = 36-70%           carbon dioxide  = 9-26%           methane           = 4-9%           ozone               = 3-7% Causes of global warming Emission of green house gas like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide etc. The major source is carbon dioxide (80%). 20% by methane and nitrous oxide . Carbon dioxide The major source of carbon dioxide is the power plants. Burning of fossil fuels for the purpose of electricity generation . About 20% of carbon dioxide emitted in the atmosphere comes from burning of gasoline in engines of the vehicles.  Methane Methane is more than 20 times as effectual as carbon dioxide at entrapping heat in the atmosphere. Methane is obtained from resources such as rice padd
