Outline
Outline The outline of global warming denotes the rise in the average temperature. This temperature increase is due to the increase in carbon dioxide as well as other greenhouse gases that includes nitrous oxide, methane and aerosols in the atmosphere. Normal gases keep the earth habitable and warm. However, the gases build up beyond normal levels such that it cannot be alleviated by the environment causes global warming. The temperatures in the air and ocean start rising and continue to do so. Global warming pollution Global warming pollution is seen as a threat as the increase in global temperature results in shifting the ecosystems such that glaciers retreat, water supply alters, plant productivity changes and you can find destruction of fragile ecosystems. The overall effects become totally irreversible. The water levels are found to be declining drastically and the warmth of the lakes are also increasing at a speed rate. Global warming pollution is due to burning fossil fuels resulting in warming the atmosphere including the problems of global warming. The carbon dioxide gases due to the fossil fuels consumption allows more heat absorption from sunlight and prevents the heat to enter space causing water and air to become warmer. This results in fast ice and snow melting thereby compounding global warming problems. Greenhouse gases Global warming problems are increasing mainly due to the contribution of homes that make maximum use of electricity and increase the Greenhouse gases. With the advancement, everyone is totally dependent on the energy and it is high time to revert to Stone Age. Using fossil fuels exorbitantly is certain to lead to Stone Age. This may happen faster and sooner than expected. Burning fossil fuels escalate the atmospheric gases. Agriculture and land clearing activities also imbalances the atmospheric gases. Recently, global warming has shown steep increase due to human activities. It is estimated that nearly 82% of energy related carbon dioxide emission is owing to natural gas and petroleum and subsequently the increase is found in greenhouse gases. Clean technologies It is recommended to make use of clean technologies. Especially, homes should use pollution free energies so that the carbon dioxide gas exhausted is less into the atmosphere. Greenhouse effect is a result of severe global warming and this is eventually affecting everyone on earth. Turning a light or TV on also releases carbon dioxide gases and enhances problems relating global warming. Planet is changing rapidly and this sign is not good. As home is the major contributor of global warming, small efforts can be made to decrease electricity usage. This on the other hand will reduce the deadly carbon dioxide gases exhaustion. This can be done effectively by adopting some alternative clean technologies that reduces global warming pollution, protects forest ecosystems, biodiversity, wildlife and also improves the quality of air thereby protecting health. Simple alternative steps Simple alternative steps help in improving healthy surrounding. The simple steps include clean car technology. This meant the pollution is less and the car becomes more efficient by offering more mileage. You can use clean fuels, maintain regularly and upgrade the vehicle to be more fuel efficient and also reduce global warming. Simple alternative steps are easily done by transforming the house hold lights to energy saving bulbs. Throwing trash should be stopped and given for recycling. Similarly, walking instead of driving vehicles prevents global warming. This also keeps your body fit. Conversely, planting more trees supports the reduction of global warming. |
