Problems and solution…
There are plenty of contentious issues discussed around the world. For an instance we are facing Global warming .Global warming is not focused in one region of this world it had been covering the whole world for a long time. In this article I will attempt to tackle the causes and solutions of global warming. Finally, I will hopefully give you my own thoughts and opinions about global warming.
I’d start by talking about the causes of global warming. First of all, global warming is caused by the increase in the concentration of green house gases in the atmosphere. The main green house gas emitted from burning fossil fuels is carbon dioxide. Carbon is stored fuels which we burn to give us the energy we consume daily. By burning these fuels we emit carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere and this is done in a short amount of time so nature is unable to remove this huge percentage of carbon dioxide in a short time. So this unbalanced process leads to global warming. Another point worthy of mentioning is the deforestation. In other words, cutting down trees for example from the amazons forests which is widely referred to as the earth’s lungs increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the air (Global Warming Causes 7). Moreover, burning forests to use the land for farming or for any other reasons increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere immensely.
We have looked at what causes global warming and here are some useful solutions that we should follow to contribute to our attempts in halting global warming. Imagine that lowering the heat by just one degree will prevent the emission of 203 pounds of carbon dioxide per year (The Bet is on 2). Why don’t people use public transportation or carpool this will surely reduce the amount of fuel burnt. In addition, we should use compact fluorescent light bulbs because they produce the same amount of lighting as the traditional light bulb but with use of less electricity or why shouldn’t we use alternative and renewable energy such as wind or solar power (The Bet is on 3). Recycling paper also may help a lot to reduce global warming as fewer trees will be cut but we should find new ways to take the ink out of the papers without the use of toxic chemicals which harms the atmosphere.
All in all, I really think that global warming is a harsh issue that we are facing in our modern life. In my opinion we as mankind accomplished to develop a vast range of technology in a short period of time. I am positive that we could develop possible solutions to solve this problem.
