The Major Threat Called Global Warming

Understanding the Global Warming

A course of increase occurring in earths surface and atmosphere are referred as global warming. Over the last century, research have proven that global temperature has increased by one degree Fahrenheit. Industrial age have paved way to the increase of carbon dioxide and build up of other greenhouse gassess in the atmosphere.This trigger a deliberate warming in the planet.

Reasons behind it...

Carbon emissions - Carbon dioxide traps the heat of the sun on the globe, much like a veritable balloon filled with warm air. On an average day, humans add to the atmospheric level of carbon dioxide in several ways, from power plants to vehicles. Air pollution from industrial plants is increasing at an alarming level despite steps taken to enforce environmentally friendly practices.

Deforestation - Deforestation is another aspect of global warming. Deforestation is viewed as the primary driver of the increased in carbon dioxide in the environment. Human activities expanded to the extent of destruction of rainforest. With lesser trees to absorb CO2, global warming prevails and challenges the existence of humanity.

The resultant scenario...

Climate change - When water supply in a given area suddenly gets decreased, this condition is called as drought. Starvation or lack of food is one of the most serious problems caused by drought. Land productivity gets declined hence produce available for consumption drastically falls. Likewise, serious disasters such as hurricanes and tsunamis are also by-products of droughts.

Health - Smog in certain parts of the world is causing allergies and asthmatic conditions to worsen. The poor air quality also results in weakened respiratory system. Droughts and other eco disruptions lead to the rapid spread of infectious diseases and food and waterborne illnesses such as malaria, cholera and dengue fever.

Wildlife - From time to time, we learn from newspapers and televisions the extinction of species. The reason for this is the destruction of their habitat. We may never notice it but as man gradually improve his life, our wildlife future is at stake. Is there any ray of hope?

Is there any effective way to control?

Arrest pollution - Reducing the rate of pollution caused by human can slow down global warming and even brings back lost balance of ecology. Mans continuous pursuit of knowledge makes it possible for the invention of different forms of altenative energy. What man can do to help his mother earth is to maximize this knowledge and and use solar energy, wind energy and other renewable clean energies to reduce the level of pollution.

Changes to the legal system - With public support on the rise, laws must be imposed worldwide to cap emissions of carbon dioxide and other green house gasses from industrial and power plants. Tighter standards for appliances such as air conditioners and heat pumps will also strengthen the efforts to reduce emissions.

YOU are the key! - It is important for us to be an activist and vigilant. By doing this we take pride to defend mother earth. We start doing it by ourselves. We can do little things in our own smart ways such as energy conservation and recycling. Before you know it, you helped in the conservation of our planet for the next generation using module of sustainable development.
