In our generation today, the world is facing more problems than ever before.
From tsunamis and tornadoes to wildfires and earthquakes, there have been countless horrific events happening all around us.
But when we really think about it, we begin to realize that most of these problems share one common cause: global warming.
Global Warming is the increase in the Earth’s average temperature due to the rising amount of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane.Global warming has a much greater effect than people realize.
With our generation’s constant inventions and the energy that they require, we need to understand that the risks we take are also risking our lives. Global warming is something that will continue to spread, it’s not something that will easily be gotten rid off.
Most people are not exactly educated on what Global Warming is and its effect on our society. It’s not an easy task.
Global Warming can not totally be removed from our atmosphere because the world depends on certain resources for daily life. In India coal is used to iron their clothes.
When coal is burnt it releases a greenhouse gas which adds on to Global Warming, and just imagine millions of people in India doing this every single morning and every single day.
We need to drive cars to get to our destinations on time and airplanes to go on our business and vacation trips, things like these wouldn’t stop so how can we fix this?
Communicating with people on global warming is very important because it allows them to understand the contributions they are making to the decaying of our world.
Communication is slowly but surely helping us. In countries like Amsterdam most people ride bicycles, that’s just their way of life.
They came together as a nation and realized that there are better solutions instead of contributing to the problems that we are already facing .
Very few people actually drive.Other countries like these give us hope and show that change is possible.
To conclude, even though global warming cannot be completely stopped, we can take steps to reduce its effects like driving less, using cleaner energy, spreading awareness about the issue and coming up with viable solutions .
Together, we can make small but meaningful changes that protect our world for the generations to come.
