Global Warming problems and Solutions




















No one knows how the earth looks like when it has serious problem like global warming. Many people hear and talk about global warming but in short, its very dangerous problem which threaten our world. The movie of global warming show a lot of the negative results of global warming. In this case, the government will start and try to solve the problem because we can't tolerate the high temperature after several years.

Other than the factors that have been mentioned earlier there is the greenhouse effect which also known as global warming. The greenhouse effect occurs when the gas CO2 is released into the atmosphere from the burning fossil fuel like oil, coal and gas it traps the radiation of heat that the sun sends to earth to keep it warmer, the earth absorbs 70% of the incoming rays and sends 30% back to space to maintain the heat balance, but with the increased CO2 in the atmosphere the earth traps more heat than before and that destroys this balance. Also forest destruction for industrial purpose raises the heat because trees absorb CO2 it plays as earth’s supporter in absorbing increased CO2 emissions. When the trees are cut there is nothing that will absorb CO2 and when the trees are burned it releases the CO2 stored inside and that contributes in increasing the heat. Not to forget also the growth of the population has a role too. The increased population on earth means more resource exploiting, the use of new technologies and fossil fuel that also lets the earth gets warmer which leads us to a conclusion that the more CO2 increases it also followed by increase in population.
To cut down CO2 emissions some solutions are needed and must be taken into action as soon as possible. Closing down all coal-fired power plants would be one unless it has carbon capture technology and works in an efficient way. Also ending all fossil fuel subsidies which mean that all the governments that still supports and spend money on fossil fuel industries has to end because there are people love to maintain their privilege even if the earth is burning hot. Taxing all windfall profits that are caused by investors, such as the $148 billion that was taken by five major US oil companies in 2007 returning half to the taxpayer and investing the other half in climate solutions is also might turn effective.
There are also minor solutions that one person can help reduce carbon emissions they produce and reduce consumption of sources in the daily life. Buying a fuel-efficient car would reduce your daily consumption and also reduce Co2. Also using light-efficient bulbs at home is better in lighting and less in consuming electricity. Buying products that are made from recycled materials and if a product u by cannot be recycled than be sure to buy the highest quality of this product to use it for a long time.
This is a very important matter to us all humans, we must stand for it and come up with a lot of new solutions as much as possible for the next generation. But nobody knows what might happen in the next upcoming years, things might go beyond what has been predicted with the usual surprises of the nature.
