Global Climate Change is arguably
the most far-reaching challenge of this century. Many scientists believe that
our production of carbon dioxide and other
greenhouse gases is having a heating effect on the atmosphere and this could be very well prove to be a threat to the humankind.
Many problems could result from global warming. One of biggest problems is the
rising sea level. This could result in the flooding of low lying areas and
cities such as Egypt, the Netherlands and Bangladesh. Some countries might even
disappear completely. Another problem caused by global warming are the changes
in the weather patterns. Many areas of the world are experiencing increased
hurricanes, floods, and other unusual weathers. A third problem associated with
global warming is its effect on animals. Fish populations could be affected
while some insects which spread diseases might become even more common.
There
are several things we can do to solve the problem of global warming. One
solution is ti diminish the use of carbon dioxide. We can do this by switching
from oil, coal and gas to renewable energy. Another solution is to plant more
trees. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen which is not a greenhouse
gas. A third solution is to use less energy and to recycle more products.
Generating electricity is one of the main sources of carbon dioxide. If we use
less electricity thus the lesser production of carbon dioxide.
In
conclusion, if we make small changes now in the way we live, we can avoid huge
changes in the future. Scientists, Government Agencies and us individuals must
work together to overcome this worldwide threat.
