Global warming is one of the most serious issues that the world is facing today. What are the causes
of global warming, and what measures can governments and individuals take to tackle the issue?
A terrifying
threat to our planet at the moment is
global warming. The government in support with
individuals have taken certain measures to tackle this life-threatening problem. This essay will examine
the reasons why global warming is occurring and discuss some possible solutions.
The predominant factors resulting in global warming are the emissions of CO2 and
deforestation. CO2,
which damages the ozone layer, comes from several sources, but the most problematic are those
coming from the burning of fossil fuels from power plants. Tonnes of CO2 is released into
the
atmosphere every year. Another cause of these emissions is burning gasoline for transportation,
which continues to grow because of our demand for cars and also our increasing worldwide
consumption, resulting in an escalating need to transport goods. Also, forests store large amounts of
carbon, so deforestation is causing larger amounts of CO2 to remain in the atmosphere.
Nevertheless, there are potential ways to reduce the effects. Firstly, governments need to find ways in
which they can reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and promote alternatives. Individuals can play a
part by making lifestyle changes. People should try to buy cars with the best fuel economy, and only use
their car when really necessary. They can also think of using bicycles, which will promote health and
conserve fuel economy. They can also switch to energy companies that use renewable energy rather
than
fossil fuels. Finally, small things like buying
energy-efficient light bulbs, turning off the electricity in
the house, planting trees in the garden etc. can minimize global warming.
To conclude, although global warming is a serious issue, there are steps that governments and
individuals can take to reduce its effects. We as a whole, can work in bringing about the change.
