Disasters are dangerous events or conditions that cause injury; loss of life, damage to property, agriculture or environment. Disasters are of two types as natural and man-made. Man-made disasters are of technological in nature. They are human errors or deliberate acts like rural or urban fires, terrorist attacks, accidents, riots, wars, crowd stampede from nuclear reactors etc. Global warming or green house effect is the increase in warming of the earth due to emission of the harmful gases from the earth, which forms the blanket cover over the earth and not allow the gases to move upward to the atmosphere. When the concentration of this gas increases in the environment it blocks the heat radiations to go up in the atmosphere, leading to the increase in the temperature of the earth. Methane, chlorofluorocarbons, nitrous oxides are some of the green house gases. Everyone will suffer by many problems due to increased temperature of earth in future. The brief discussion about Global warming and its remedies was done in the ‘National Conference of G8’ held in Germany. Finally G8 countries lead to a decision to overcome this problem upto2050. The temperature of earth goes on increasing continuously. At the end of this century the earth temperature will rise 1.8 – 40C, according to scientists. This will lead to melting of ice which ultimately increases the water level of sea by 1 ½ to 2 feet. The topic is an investigation of the awareness on Global warming among higher secondary school students. Since this is the survey study. The investigator has attempted to know the awareness on Global warming among higher secondary students.
