High-Level Project Summary
Global Warming is now the greatest threat in the world. There has been lots of way to warming globally. Human-caused is one of them. The average temperature of the planet has increased by 0.8º Celsius (33.4° Fahrenheit) compared to the end of the 19th century.At the pace of current CO2 emissions, scientists expect an increase of between 1.5° and 5.3°C (34.7° to 41.5°F) in average temperature by 2100.

Detailed Project Description
Our problem is the effects of human-caused global warming are happening now, are irreversible on the timescale of people alive today, and will worsen in the decades to come. According to WHO Between 2030 and 2050, climate change is expected to cause approximately 250 000 additional deaths per year from malnutrition, malaria, diarrheas' and heat stress alone. The direct damage costs to health are estimated to be between US$ 2–4 billion per year by 2030.
What Is Causing Earth's Climate to Change?
Although there are hundreds of reason for the climatic change we are only going to discuss the natural and manmade (human) reasons.
Natural Reasons
These include volcanic eruption, solar radiation, tectonic plate movement, orbital variations. Due to these activities, the geographical condition of an area become quite harmful for life to survive. Also, these activities raise the temperature of the earth to a great extent causing an imbalance in nature.
Human Reasons
Man due to his need and greed has done many activities that not only harm the environment but himself too. Many plant and animal species go extinct due to human activity. Human activities that harm the climate include deforestation, using fossil fuel, industrial waste, a different type of pollution and many more. All these things damage the climate and ecosystem very badly. And many species of animals and birds got extinct or on a verge of extinction due to hunting.
Effects Of Climatic Change:
These climatic changes have a negative impact on the environment. The ocean level is rising, glaciers are melting, CO2 in the air is increasing, forest and wildlife are declining, and water life is also getting disturbed due to climatic changes. Apart from that, it is calculated that if this change keeps on going then many species of plants and animals will get extinct. And there will be a heavy loss to the environment.
The severity of effects caused by climate change will depend on the path of future human activities. More greenhouse gas emissions will lead to more climate extremes and widespread damaging effects across our planet. However, those future effects depend on the total amount of carbon dioxide we emit. So, if we can reduce emissions, we may avoid some of the worst effects.
Scientists think that Earth's temperature will keep going up for the next 100 years. This would cause more snow and ice to melt. Oceans would rise higher. Some places would get hotter. Other places might have colder winters with more snow. Some places might get more rain. Other places might get less rain. Some places might have stronger hurricanes.
According to NASA 50 crore of people will die due to carbon emission.
Scientists think we can do things to stop the climate from changing as much. You can help by using less energy and water. Turn off lights and TVs when you leave a room. Turn off the water when brushing your teeth. You also can help by planting trees.
Another way to help is by learning about Earth. The more you know about Earth, the more you can help solve climate problems.
Some NASA satellites look at Earth's land, air, water and ice. Other tools look at the sun and the energy it sends out. Together, these are important for learning about Earth's climate. Using all these tools can help scientists learn how climate might change.
NASA is an expert in climate and Earth science. While its role is not to set climate policy or prescribe particular responses or solutions to climate change, its job does include providing the scientific data needed to understand climate change. NASA then makes this information available to the global community – the public, policy-, and decision-makers and scientific and planning agencies around the world. (For more information, see NASA's role.)
With that said, NASA takes sustainability very seriously. NASA’s sustainability policy is to execute its mission as efficiently as possible. In doing so, we continually improve our space and ground operations.
Sustainability involves taking action now to protect the environment for both current and future living conditions. In implementing sustainability practices, NASA supports its missions by reducing risks to the environment and our communities.
Space Agency Data
We are collecting and using data from NASA.
Hackathon Journey
This is the first time we participating in NASA Space Apps Challenge 2022. We were a bit nervous and a bit conscious that how the challenge is proceeding. We have learned a lot about Nasa Working procedures and so many space agencies. However, that process is we are astonished that how NASA helps us by providing so much vital information. It really encourages us to research anything and how important every research document that helps people at any time. Firstly as a new in we registered almost the nearest deadline so we can't decide which projects will flourish then we pick 3 projects that we can solve after that we select from the Art section that's a bit easier.
We would like to thank Our honorable Sir, Mr. Samrat Kumar Dey, Sir always encourages us to participate here. He gives us guidelines and instructions.
