Global Warming A condition of increase in earth's temperature is called as global warming. Few years ago, studies have depicted increase in earth's temperature in last century by one degree Fahrenheit. Industrial development has served a gate way to the progression of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This initiated to tremendous warming on earth.
Reasons behind it...
Carbon Emissions - Carbon dioxide traps the heat of the sun on the globe, much like a veritable balloon filled with warm air. On an average day, humans add to the atmospheric level of carbon dioxide in several ways, from power plants to vehicles. Air pollution from industrial plants is increasing at an alarming level despite steps taken to enforce environmentally friendly practices. 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
Weather Patterns - Apart from the wildfires caused by scorching hot and dry weather which burns millions of acres of land worldwide, the main cause for concern is drought - which also increases the risk of wildfires. Drought causes crops to fail, causing starvation and diseases in less developed countries where agriculture is the main source of food and income. Conversely, warm temperatures can also cause heavier rainfall and floods. More energy in the climatic system causes hurricanes and tsunamis. Balance of ecology is disturbed.
Health - Smog in certain parts of the world is causing allergies and asthmatic conditions to worsen. The poor air quality also results in weakened respiratory system. Droughts and other eco disruptions lead to the rapid spread of infectious diseases and food and waterborne illnesses such as malaria, cholera and dengue fever. Wildlife - From time to time, we learn from newspapers and televisions the extinction of species. The reason for this is the destruction of their habitat. We may never notice it but as man gradually improve his life, our wildlife future is at stake. Is there any ray of hope?
Is there any effective way to control?
Stop Pollution! - Cutting down pollution from car emissions and power plants will decrease the rate of global warming to a great extent. Varied technologies for use of alternative energy have already been developed. And, more technology is being developed regularly. We need to continue to make use of current alternative energy resources like wind power and solar power, and we can adopt new technologies as they are developed.
Amendment on Legal System - As effects of global warming are getting the attention of the government, certain law and legislative actions were formulated to combat these dilemma. These laws are expected to regulate the manufacturing and usage of appliances and machines that may be harmful to atmosphereYOU are the key! - It is important for us to be an activist and vigilant. By doing this we take pride to defend mother earth. We start doing it by ourselves. We can do little things in our own smart ways such as energy conservation and recycling. Before you know it, you helped in the conservation of our planet for the next generation using module of sustainable development.
