Blog Project – Task 7

There are many contentious issues discussed around the world one of which is global warming. Global warming is not a single country’s problem but it is a worldwide problem. In this article I am going to talk about the causes and solutions of global warming. Finally, I am going to give my opinions with regard to the future.
Let’s now talk about the causes of global warming. Firstly, is the immediate global warming which is caused by the increase in the concentration of green house gases in the atmosphere (Global Warming Causes 2). The main green house gas emitted from burning fossil fuels is carbon dioxide. Carbon is stored fuels which we burn to give us the energy we use. The by burning these fuels we but carbon dioxide back into the air and this is done in a short amount of time so the nature is un able to remove this huge percentage of carbon dioxide in a short time. So this unbalanced process leads to global warming. Another point worthy of mentioning is the deforestation. In other words, cutting down trees for example from the amazons forests which is the earth’s lunges increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the air (Global Warming Causes 7). Moreover, burning forests to use them as farm lands increase the number of carbon dioxide.
We have looked at what causes global warming and here are some useful solutions that we should follow to contribute global warming. Imagine that lowering the heat by just one degree will prevent the emission of 203 pounds of carbon dioxide per year (The Bet is on 2). Why don’t people use public transportation or even let someone give them a left to home this will surely reduce the amount of fuel burnt. In addition, we should use compact fluorescent light bulbs because they produce the same amount of light as the traditional light bulb but with use of less electricity or why shouldn’t we use alternative and renewable energy such as wind or solar power (The Bet is on 3). Recycling paper also may help a lot to reduce global warming as fewer trees will be cut but we should find new ways to take the ink out of the papers without the use of toxic chemicals which harms the atmosphere.
In conclusion, I really think that global warming is a big issue that we are facing in our modern life. Nevertheless, I think as we now a day’s reached to such a new technology I am sure that we should have possible solutions to tackle this problem.
