Global Warming - The End Game | The Dr. Binocs Show | Best Learning Videos For Kids | Peekaboo Kidz

Whee! Oh no! Oh, it's coming! It's coming! Global Warming! Hey friends, I'm sure just like Little Kitty, you too are confused by the sudden melting of snow. Well, unfortunately, this is bound to happen. And there will come a time when there will be no snow left at all. And it's all due to Global Warming. I'm sure you must have heard this term before. So today, let us explore what does Global Warming mean. And it's effects on our lives, environment and the entire world. Zoom in! So, what is Global Warming? Global Warming is the term used to describe the rising of the average temperature on Earth. In other words, it's the process of our entire planet heating up. In the last century, the Earth was warmed by an average of 1 degree Celsius. Which might not sound like a significant change. But it could have a big impact on the people and animals around the globe at present and in the future. It is assumed that by the end of the 21st century, Global Warming is likely to cause an increase in the Earth's temperature of around 2 to 5 degrees Celsius. And this change in climate will make our weather more erratic. Forcing many species into extinction and making life much harder. But the important question is, what causes Global Warming? Well, the factor responsible for the change in climate is the phenomenon known as the Greenhouse Effect. And what is that? Since the Industrial Revolution, humans have been burning large amounts of fossil fuels. Such as oil and gas, producing huge clouds of Carbon Dioxide. The gases released into the atmosphere during this process act like an invisible blanket. Trapping heat from the sun and warming the Earth. This is known as the Greenhouse Effect. Not only that, deforestation is another huge reason for Global Warming. As we all know that trees absorb huge amounts of Carbon Dioxide from the air. And release Oxygen back into it. But sadly, many rainforests are being cut down by humans. To make furniture, paper and to clear the way for roads, oil mines, dams and habitation. So due to a decrease in the number of trees and forests, the Carbon Dioxide remains in the atmosphere. Adding fuel into the fire and warming the globe. And if this continues, there will be severe consequences. As a warmer climate could affect our planet in many ways. Like there will be more rainfall, seasons will be unpredictable. The sea ice will shrink, thus resulting in the rise in sea levels. But the most crucial question is, how do you prevent Global Warming? And how can you contribute towards saving the planet? Well, you don't have to do anything big. Tiny changes in your own home can make a difference too. For example, try switching your Norman Bulb to Energy Saving Light Bulbs. Take a walk or bicycle instead of using the car for short distance. Always turn off the electrical items when you are not using them. And most importantly, recycle and reduce your food waste. All these little things can make a huge difference and will turn you into a superhero. Trivia Time! Did you know, every 40,000 years the Earth changes position and this causes climate change? Also, the Earth is still in an Ice Age, which started 2.5 million years ago. We are in an interglacial period called the Holocene. It's Question Time!
