Global Warming, an Atmospheric Alarm


By Sean Flynn

Outline

The outline of global warming denotes the rise in the average temperature. This temperature increase is due to the increase in carbon dioxide as well as other greenhouse gases that includes nitrous oxide, methane and aerosols in the atmosphere. Normal gases keep the earth habitable and warm. However, the gases build up beyond normal levels such that it cannot be alleviated by the environment causes global warming. The temperatures in the air and ocean start rising and continue to do so.

Global warming pollution

Global temperature increase shifts the ecosystems to the extent that glaciers retreat, plant productivity changes, water supply alters and the fragile ecosystems are destroyed. The effects overall are irreparable. Global warming pollution refers to more than glaciers and polar bears. Scientists estimate the water levels to be declining and the lakes to become warmer.

Global warming pollution is mainly due to the burning of fossil fuels. The carbon dioxide gases results in heat absorption and prevents this heat from reaching the space causing air and water to turn warmer. Owing to this fossil fuels and global warming the snow and ice melting is faster and adds to problems related to global warming.

Greenhouse gases

Home is found to be mainly responsible to contribute maximum carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and to increase greenhouse gases. Today, everyone depends on energy and reverting to Stone Age cannot be given a thought. Though, it seriously looks like we will be forced to return to Atone Age if the fossil fuels are used exorbitantly.

The atmospheric gases are high due to burning fossil fuels, land clearing and agriculture activity. The dramatic warming has shown a sharp increase in the recent years and attributes mainly to human activity. The energy related emissions of carbon dioxide is due to natural gas and petroleum representing nearly 82% of greenhouse gases emission.

Clean technologies

Clean technologies making less use of energy is highly recommended. Homes should make use of pollution free energies to have a decrease in the exhaustion of carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere. This will help in decreasing global warming problem to a great extent. Greenhouse effect is only due to global warming resulting by affecting everyone on the earth. Even turning a light or watching TV releases carbon dioxide gases compounding to more global warming problems.

The sign of planet changing is apparent and is not a good sign. Home being the main contributor towards global warming, it is best to decrease the electricity usage by making small efforts. This will reduce carbon dioxide gases exhaustion. The clean technologies adoptions are the best resource to decrease pollution and to protect the ecosystems, wildlife and also to improve the air quality.

Simple alternative steps

Improving the atmosphere and making it healthy by adopting simple alternative steps is always the best. You can expect political and economic capitals involvement certainly. Yet, you can initiate by adopting simple steps in preventing global warming such as adopting clean car technology that is efficient and pollutes less. This can be done by upgrading the vehicle, using clean fuels and regular maintenance. This will benefit you by offering more mileage.

Simple alternative steps are easily done by transforming the house hold lights to energy saving bulbs. Throwing trash should be stopped and given for recycling. Similarly, walking instead of driving vehicles prevents global warming. This also keeps your body fit. Conversely, planting more trees supports the reduction of global warming.
