Global warming or climate change has become a worldwide concern. It is gradually developing into an unprecedented environmental crisis evident in melting glaciers, changing weather patterns, rising sea levels, floods, cyclones and droughts. Global warming implies an increase in the average temperature of the Earth due to entrapment of greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere.
It has today become a major threat to the mankind. It is a serious environmental problem which threatens to put the future of humankind in peril.
The major factor emissions of carbon dioxide, as well as other greenhouse gases could lead to the flooding of lower lying coastal areas and also cities. It is even feared that some countries might even disappear completely in near future. Changes in the weather patterns leading to severe weather conditions, drought, floods, and other uncommon extreme weather conditions.Due to activities like fossil fuel combustion for electricity generation, transportation, and heating, human beings have contributed to increase in the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere.
We can save Planet Earth, only by tackling the problem of global warming. Let’s resolve to reduce the production of CO2. The way to do it is to less use of oil, coal and gas. Rather we should embrace renewable energy. Let us reduce our dependence on electricity, as its production releases a huge amount of CO2 simultaneously. So, less use of energy and electricity can help us in dealing with the problem of global warming. We have to avoid producing a great amount of CO2, Sulfur, CFC’s, and Methane gases as they are harmful to the environment. A massive tree plantation drive should be undertaken as trees soak up CO2 and at the same time trees generate more oxygen.
There is also the need for going for plant-derived plastics, bio-diesel, wind power and solar power. At individual levels, people should prefer buying cars with the best fuel economy, and should not unnecessarily use them.
