Global Warming

By Joshua Darden


Global warming is the increase of the temperature of earth's lower atmosphere resulting to a climatic change that was caused by the increase of greenhouse gases. There are two types of greenhouse gases. One of those is the natural greenhouse gas such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane. On the other hand are man-made gases such as perfluorocarbons (PFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) that were generated from human industrial factories.

What is the Greenhouse Effect?

The greenhouse effect involves entrapment of the energy from the sun to sustain life on earth by keeping it warm. Without the greenhouse effect, all parts of the Earth will be icy cold that no form of life would be able to exist. Thought this process had good effects on humans, it only last for as long as it works moderately. Going over what's normal could be too alarming and dangerous for the lives of all people and other living things on Earth.

Due to the increase production of greenhouse gases by humans, like burning of fossil fuels, agricultural activities and release of harmful gases from factories, the excess amount of these gases in the atmosphere will produce a large quantity of heat being trapped. As a result, a drastic climate change will occur which can possibly affect many lives severely through natural disasters such as floods and drought, strong hurricanes and storm, extinction of wildlife, spread of diseases and economic hardships.

Preventing Global Warming

Being a pro-active member of an environmental support group would be a nice start on preventing global warming and its effects. Join their programs, advocacies and spread the message in different social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Provide the members of tips on how to cool the Earth down a bit. Some of the effective steps on saving the world from global warming are reduction of gasoline consumption, reforestation, control in the population and making wise use of energy resources.

Everyone should take part in restoring their planet as this is their only home. Planting and growing of trees, making use of energy efficient appliances, doing the easy task of unplugging electronics when not in use, recycling and a major change in transportation habits are some of the simple things that people can do in their busy life to help preserve mother earth. Spreading the word through social media and other forms of communication can be a big help towards awareness and change. Informing your friends, family and relatives can be a start of winning the war against the harmful effects of global warming.
