The Industrial Revolution
brought many new exciting inventions into our lives with an intention to
simplify and make efficient our life. Such inventions included cars ,house hold
appliances and plants that burn solid waste. Before the Industrial Revolution
human activities caused very few gases to be released into the atmosphere but
now because of burning fossil fuels a large population growth and deforestation
human are badly affecting the mixture of environment friendly gas causing a
world wide problem the known as global warming .
The earth has a natural “ greenhouse effect” caused by the sun to control the
earth’s weather and climate. In response to the sun, the earth radiates energy
back in to space. Atmosphere green house gases such as water vapor ,carbon
dioxide, and other gases, trap the energy leaving the earth and retaining it as
heat ,much like a greenhouse ceiling. This is a natural and necessary effect
without it temperatures on earth would be much lower than they are now and life
as it is today would not be possible but with the green house effect the earth’s
average temperature is a more comfortable and life supporting 60 degree
Fahrenheit.
The problem have been arisen with the greenhouse effect have occurred due to the
increase in atmospheric greenhouse gases. Scientist believe that the increase in
greenhouse gas concentration ,specially of carbon dioxide, is being caused by
the combustion to fossil fuels and other human activities. The total amount of
future emissions depend on a range of factors ,such a demographic , economic and
technological policy and institutional developments ,making it difficult to
estimate future emissions.
Climate changes as global warming is a global problem that requires actions of
improvement from the entire international community. The countries from around
the world including the United States are working together to share technologies
,experience , resources and talent to lower total greenhouse gas emissions and
reduce the threat of global warming .These efforts commonly referred to as
technology cooperation can occur between nations ,private entities
,organizations around the world. International efforts are in progress to try to
establish practices for land use change and forestry to reduce greenhouse green
house gas emissions and increase carbon sinks.
It is suggested by many organizations that natural gases should replace other
fuels such as coal , and gasoline , and that we should still limit the burning
of even natural gases. It is also suggested that the government should create
car _less cities ,where citizens can only walk , ride bikes or use public
transportation to get around inside the city. Yet another suggestion is to
acquire citizens to drive electric cars, or electric hybrid cars , to reduce the
amount of population put into the atmosphere by driving. A less popular action
would be to limit the amount of gasoline available to each citizen over a
certain amount of time, making them unable to contribute any more pollutants
than any one else is allowed.
Transportation is not the only area where action can be taken ,house hold
appliances ,heating or cooling equipment, consumer electronics, or office
equipment also have an effect on the environment . Individual s can make big
difference in global warming also .Citizen can get involved with organizations
to attract the attention of the government as well as following a couple of the
suggestions made above. People can make drive less , or use more efficient cars,
smoke less, even cigarette and pipe smoke are pollutants, and replace their
appliances and house hold products with more energy efficient ones. Global
warming is a problem and it won’t go away without the cooperation of the world
and its inhabitants.
