Global warming
According to Columbia Encylopedia global warming is the gradual increase of the temperature of the earth's lower atmosphere as a result of the increase in greenhouse gases since the industrial revolution. The scientific reason for global warming is the increased burning of fossil fuels which thus increases the emission of greenhouse gases into the Earth’s atmosphere. Some greenhouse gases are produced naturally while others are the direct result of human activities.
What can we predict is that global warming doesn’t have an impact at the environment only, but human life as well. Effects of global warming on the environment include ecosystems, ocean current, and sea level. Impacts on the human level include financial matters and the spread of disease.Increasing global tempreture will cause sea levels to rise and will change the amount and pattern of precipitation, probably including expansion of subtropical deserts. Other effects of global warming include predicted impacts on the ecosystems and ocean currents. The continued rising in temperature will scientifically lessen the snow cap, create a rise in sea level, and produce weather changes. The combination of the effects of global warming will cause a change in the ecosystems. This change will force animals to leave their habitats endangering their existence and possibly even forcing them into extinction (EncycloMedia.com, 2007).
The first step to solve this crisis is to understand what global warming is and the next would be how to prevent it? There are simple things that any person can do to lessen the causes and effects of global warming. The world’s electricity is based primarily on the burning of coal, so a person should decrease the amount and their demand of electricity or try and use other methods such as solar power. The second thing any individual can do is either decreasing the overall use of one’s car or replacing it with a fuel-efficient or hybrid automobile; this will help in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The third and easiest prevention method would be to simply recycle.
Bottom of the line we all must prevent this crisis. We all can make a difference. The coming generations will blame us if we stand still because we had a choice to make it better. However, warming is expected to continue beyond 2100 even if emissions stop.
