No. 1 Issue Everyone Should Know – Global Warming

The picture above shows records of observed temperature on the Earth. It shows how the global temperature from 1880 to 2019 dramatically increase (red line) as compared to the previous eras.

Below are some interesting documentation films about the global warming issue.

Global warming is an alarming issue that we are facing today.

It causes the earth’s temperature to rise more than what would be normal.

Since the beginning of the industrial revolution the earth’s temperature is extremely increasing. We are burning our coal, oil and gases extensively to produce energy and to manufacture things.

Both production processes and manufactured goods produce higher concentration of Carbon Dioxide ( CO₂) emission in our atmosphere. This draws to extreme global warming that causes climate change.

The Atmosphere protects the earth’s surface from extreme heat and cold, which makes life on earth possible. Our human activities such as industrial industry, agricultural industry, deforestation, overpopulation contribute to the extreme rise of temperature beyond a normal pace. Global warming causes floods, droughts, intensive storms, ocean acidification and species extinction.

These are alarming because this problem connects everything for our existence on this earth.

We are the cause, we are the solution to this issue. The development of renewable energy is an important solution to the problem of global warming.

Some common sources of renewable energy are geothermal heat, solar, wind, hydro and biomass. They could significantly decrease the CO₂ emission for they are generated from natural processes. Unlike fossil fuels, these sources of energy cannot be exhausted and are constantly renewed.

Additionally as private individual we can also contribute to minimize this problem.

Here are some of my points to help this issue.

1. Practice 3 Rs – Recycle Materials, Reuse Resources and Reduce Waste.
2. Use Energy and Water efficiently; turn-off and unplug unused appliances, collect rain water to water plants.
3. Take a bicycle instead of a car for short distances.
4. Plant trees or grow plants in garden or even on a windowsill.
5. Share the global warming awareness to friends and family.

Help solve global warming. Share this awareness to your friends and family.
