GLOBAL WARMING: WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT OUR PLANET’S GREATEST THREAT

Global warming is an environmental problem that refers to the increment of the normal temperature conditions as a result of contamination and other factors like the high use of appliances and water. Although global warming has had a big impact on the planet there is still a hope, and to reach it, there should be a following by the humanity to some of the strategies that scientist developed to make its effects slow or even find a solution.

First of all, scientist began studying hoping to determine some of the minor causes of these phenomena, and so far they have been able to come up with some answers. The overuse of appliances all around the world, for example, has a heating effect on our planet’s atmosphere, thus increasing the temperature of the gases in the air. Another important cause is the greenhouse effect. This last one is the result of the accumulation of certain gases in the atmosphere, where due to their properties they keep the radiation given by the sun “locked” inside the earth, causing a significant increase in the temperature. After reviewing these causes, it was very simple to come up with different ways to slow down, or maybe in the long run even stop Global Warming. Some of the solutions include campaigns which move people to use their appliances in a moderate way, use their cars a lot less (to reduce the production of greenhouse gases), etc. Some scientists state strongly that by following these simple solutions, Global Warming can still be stopped.

On the other hand, there are scientists who state that the effects of Global Warming on our planet are unstoppable and that they are only going to take a turn for the worst. Some of their theories say that life on the planet could actually “extinguish” as a result of the changes in the atmosphere, while others state that only some animals might be able to adapt and live on the new and completely different environment.

In conclusion, by understanding the current situation of our planet, people will create a self – preserving consciousness and start taking into account all the possible preventing measures, giving the Earth a slight chance of stabilizing the temperature again, and making all the “extinction” theories a simple report inside the planet’s history
