What is global Warming?

What is 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...

Greenhouse emissions - Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas and absorbs heat from the sun. Imagine a balloon filled with warm air. While environment friendly solutions are carry out, the age of industrialization resulted to severe air pollution- a striking negative issue we are facing today.

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 dire consequences

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 - Air pollution is a very convenient tool to spread diseases. Polluted air makes it easy to impair and destroy a persons respiratory system. Nowadays, young generations were victims of air borne diseases, allergies and fatal diseases such as malaria, cholera and dengue fever.

Adverse effects on wildlife - Every now and then, it's not surprising to hear the extinction of our wildlife. How can we expect these little creatures to survive if we are destroying their habitat to pursue and satisfy our need for an industrialized lifestyle? We invented technology to make our life easier at the expense of these creatures' survival. When are we going to recognize our mistakes?

Is there any effective way to control?

Curb pollution factor - Fighting any forms and faces of pollution will definitely make a change. Global warming can be stopped and mother earth will be rescued. We are the creator of this technology and should be aware of its negative features. We have to act now and start working for a healthy environment. We have to work on using more alternative energy sources from solar power, wind power that are considered as clean energy sources.

Legal compulsions - Governing bodies started to act to solve this problem by passing some laws that will evaluate the creation of machines and its adverse effects to nature. These laws aim to protect our ecology and environment and continue to preserve on what is left after the destruction. In addition to this, local governments created programs designed to promote awareness to people about renewable energy sources.

Make the difference - In every system to work, we are the key to make it work. Each and every one of us has responsibilities of combating global warming. Participation counts. Let us start changing the system by starting the change within our selves. Conserve energy in your household and workplaces. Manage waste disposal. Recycle your waste. Encourage people for adopting this model of sustained development. We in our own small ways can make he difference.
