How does global warming affect us? IntroductionThe earth is warming now. Climate change will lead to sea level rise, drought, floods, desertification and so on. In short, the earth will become unlivable. Global warming means an increase in sea and land surface temperatures since the late 19th century. We must be aware of the danger and how to prevent this phenomenon. Therefore, there are causes of global warming. Global warming does not start by itself, but human interaction solves this problem. Because the earth can keep warm due to the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is a natural process that helps warm the Earth's surface and atmosphere. Without the greenhouse effect, the earth would lose a lot of heat from the sun and would be cold with an average temperature of 0 degrees Fahrenheit (-18 degrees Celsius) (Nova 1). The greenhouse effect is like a blanket because when solar radiation reaches the surface of the earth, it is reflected back into space; however, some greenhouse gases absorb and radiate this radiation back to earth (figure 1). Thus, some of the heat is retained in the atmosphere (CEOSR 1). This is why the earth remains constantly warm. //However, the climate is changing due to human activities, which have significantly increased greenhouse gases. We call this change global warming. Global warming is a phenomenon in which the earth's temperature increases due to an increase in carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases. When we burn fossil fuels such as coal, petrol, diesel and oil, carbon dioxide is produced. Due to human activity, greenhouse gases and water vapor have increased in the atmosphere since the start of the industrial revolution... middle of paper... the fight count by 80% to 90%. This will also reduce carbon dioxide. If people conserved energy, power plants would burn fewer fossil fuels to produce electricity, and thus carbon dioxide emissions would be reduced. Third, we will be able to use non-fossil fuels. For example, there is solar energy. Solar energy does not emit carbon dioxide into the air, so we can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Furthermore, solar energy is safer than any other energy such as nuclear energy. Finally, planting trees will help humans. When a forest grows, it absorbs carbon dioxide. This process is called carbon sinking. The carbon sink effect of forests and farmland can reduce carbon dioxide by half. Conclusion People need to understand why global warming is dangerous. Global warming starts by itself; people involve this problem, so they must have a sense of responsibility.
