Task #7 Problem & solution
Everyone around the planet is talking about Global Warming but not everyone knows how it is caused and how it can be prevented from happening in later time.“Global warming refers to an increase in the Earth’s average surface air temperature.” (About Global Warming, 2009). Global Warming is a major problem in our world nowadays. In a long term time Global Warming will have much more effect than today. Things will change; population will increase around us causing the atmosphere to warm up in time.
The movie "An Inconvenient Truth", talks about the problems of the global warming in the planet earth. Al Gore mentioned that scientists realised that this warming of the climate will lead to more extreme weather problems such as storms drought and hurricanes. Secondly, greenhouse gases are gases such as carbon dioxide , watavapor, methane etc. which affect the atmosphere which absorbs the sun's radiation when it hits the earth which causes the earth to warm up slowly. In time the North and South poles, ice will melt slowly which will raise the water levels around the world and making the average temperature everywhere increase.I have measured my carbon footprint and it turned out 3.05; some students had less than me and some had more than me. The average carbon footprint for our class CRB is 3.778.
Turning to the Solutions, in "Global Warming Solutions, 2009" there were quite a few solutions for the problems. Firstly, is trying to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions. Everyone should take part in doing this. Using buses to transport from place to place, go walking rather than taking our own cars for close range places. Globally, all countries must try and reduce emissions from industries. Secondly, using renewable energy such as using wind, biofuels, nuclear power and solar power. Last but not least, seeding plants and trees to take up CO2 and give oxygen to the earth.
In my opinion, the choice is within our hands to save the earth from the problem of global warming. The solution is within the governments' hands and within the people, so people should go easy when they transport from place to place and use busses and go easy on their consumption habits to help with this problem
