CAUSE AND EFFECT FOR GLOBAL WARMING

CAUSE OF GLOBAL WARMING

Almost 100% of the observed temperature increase over the last 50
years has been due to the increase in the atmosphere of greenhouse gas
concentrations like water vapour, carbon dioxide (CO 2), methane and
ozone. Greenhouse gases are those gases that contribute to the
greenhouse effect

Most climate scientists agree the main cause of the current global
warming trend is human expansion of the "greenhouse effect"
warming that results when the atmosphere traps heat radiating from
Earth toward space.

CHANGE WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THIS CENTURY AND

BEYOND

Global climate is projected to continue to change over this century and

beyond. The magnitude of climate change beyond the next few decades
depends primarily on the amount of heat-trapping gases emitted
globally, and how sensitive the Earths climate is to those emissions.

HOW YOU CAN STOP GLOBAL WARMING

SMART SOLUTIONS TO REDUCE EMISSIONS

Expand the use of renewable energy and transform our energy

system to one that is cleaner and less dependent on coal and
other fossil fuels.

Increase vehicle fuel efficiency and support other solutions that

reduce U.S. oil use.

Place limits on the amount of carbon that polluters are allowed to

emit.

Build a clean energy economy by investing in efficient energy

technologies, industries, and approaches.
 Reduce tropical deforestation and its associated global warming
emissions.

The Conclusion confirms that global warming is the major challenge for
our global society. There is very little doubt that global warming will
change our climate in the next century. So what are the solutions to
global warming? First, there must be an international political solution.
Second, funding for developing cheap and clean energy production must
be increased, as all economic development is based on increasing
energy usage. We must not pin all our hopes on global politics and clean
energy technology, so we must prepare for the worst and adapt. If
implemented now, a lot of the costs and damage that could be caused
by changing climate can be mitigated.
