Controlling Global Warming

Controlling Global Warming
How do you think global warming affects our lives? People have been using
fossil fuels to power their lives for ages. By retaining heat that would otherwise escape
into space, this method increases the level of greenhouse gases. It may have a
substantial effect on climate in some areas. Other greenhouse gases, such as carbon
dioxide, trap solar energy within the earth's atmosphere. The concentration of
greenhouse gases that humans emit into the atmosphere has contributed to global
warming. It has been causing extreme weather events that are wreaking havoc on
communities and economies across the world. For example, in 2009, nearly half a
million people were affected by flooding in Northern England.
It resulted in costly repairs for businesses and households, as well as disruption

to everyday life. Climate change is gradually increasing global temperatures, and over
the past 150 years, this has been at an unprecedented rate. It is estimated that one in
four deaths are linked to climate change, with extreme weather events like floods being
the foremost cause of these related deaths. We are all vulnerable to the effects of
climate change. This makes it a shared responsibility for everyone.
Global climate change is also a threat to the prospects of the Millennium

Development Goals, according to World Bank sources. A reduction in agricultural and
food output will surely come from the meteorological changes brought on by the
infrastructure collapse, such as alterations in the amount and pattern of rainfall and
variations in temperature. Therefore, environmental catastrophes like drought or flood
will uproot people's sources of income, resulting in poverty, migration, and illnesses.
According to scientific data, human activities have warmed the surface of the
earth and its ocean basins, which has continued to affect the planet's climate. This is
built on more than a century's worth of scientific data that serves as the skeleton of
contemporary society.
However, there are actions that we can all take to slow the rate of greenhouse
gas production and the effects of climate change. Shifting one's mindset is necessary to
accomplish this since it takes a lot of understanding to know the underlying
consequences of greenhouse gases. People should practice becoming more
environmentally friendly. The usage of recyclable materials and purchasing goods with
little packaging are examples of practical approaches. When the economy starts to
recover, there are more energy-efficient items, resulting in people consuming less
energy. Thus, these activities will eventually reduce waste. Additionally, reducing your
driving and choosing to walk or bike to work or school is the best thing you can do to
save the environment. By doing so, you not only lower your carbon dioxide emissions
but also maintain your physical fitness.
Speaking up or changing one's thinking is vital. And while it is easy to do so, you
can have an impact on the rate of global climate change. Speak with your close friends
and family or, even better, your elected leaders. Motivate your fellow people to engage
in activities that could save the earth, which also stimulates Congress to pass new
legislation that places a cap on carbon emissions and makes polluters responsible for
the gases they emit.
One can also plant trees to reduce greenhouse gas emissions even further.
Since trees use up carbon dioxide and release oxygen during photosynthesis, that
method of reducing carbon dioxide is effective and efficient. To further conserve our
future, one might advocate for people to adopt environmentally friendly behaviors and
practice water conservation.
Developed nations should help less developed nations in minimizing the effects
of global warming. They should also utilize adaptation strategies to counteract the
harmful effects of climate change. Furthermore, stakeholders must take firm action to
halt the way people pollute the environment. In the long-term, this will safeguard and
pass on a safe environment to future generations. Thus, each of us needs to take
action.
