It seems obvious that the human’s lifestyle in highly advanced
technology time is significantly contributing to global warming. This occurrence can be defined as a phenomenon of climate change which causes not only rising average temparatures but extreme wether events as well. This passage will discuss the reasons, effects, and some possible solutions to control this issue. To understand more about global warming, we will answer 4 questions in turn, such as: “What is global warming?”, “What are it caurse?”, “What are the consequences of global warming?”, and “What are possible solutions?”. Firstly, “What is global warming?”. As we know it, global warming is the phenomenon that the average temperature of the air and the oceans on the Earth has increased according to observations over the past decades. Secondly, “What are it caurse?”. Global warming occurs when carbon dioxide (CO2) and other air pollutants and greenhouses gases collect in the atmosphere and absorb sunlight and solar radiation that have bounced off the earth’s surface. Normally, this radiation would escape into space – but these pollutants, which can lasr for years to centuries in the atmosphere, trap the heat and cause planet to get hotter. Thirdly, “What are the consequences of global warming?”. Global warming has had many serious consequences. The physical impacts of it is effecting on weather and on oceans. The main impact of global warming on the weather is an increase in extreme weather events such as heat waves, droughts, cyclones, blizzards and rainstorms. Especially, the central region of Viet Nam last time, episodes of intense precipiation contribute to flooding, landslides and damage to human, structures and crops. On human, polluted environment, erratic weather, prolonged heat ,… have a great impact on human health, reducing life expectancy, and diseases related to skin, respiratory tract and cardiovascular disease are increasing. On animals, many animals are at risk of extinction. They don’t have enough food to eat, their habitat is destroyed due to forest fires. On grow, the erratic hot weather effects on growth and cultivation. The area of agricultural land decreased, affecting productivity… Lastly and most importantly, the impossible solutions. We should take measures to reduce global warming to save ourselves. The first, reduce waste and recycle them. The burning of many types of waste increases the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and it is a major contributor to the greenhouse and globalwarming. Therefor, we should choose products that can be reused rather than thrown away. And whenever we can be possible, recycle paper, plastics, newspaper, glass, and aluminum cans. The second, less driving means less emissions. Besides saving on gas, walking and cycling are great form of exercise. The third, planting trees reducing global warming. Trees are an integral part of the natural atmosphere exchange cycle here on Earth, but there are too few of them to counteract the increase in cacbon caused by automotive traffic, production and operations. Therefore, actively plant trees around your outdoor living space, this also helps to keep the air fresh and good for our health. And the finally, raising people’s awareness through means of mass media such as TV, Internet, newspaper ,… In conclusion, global warming stems from many different factors, but primarily focusing on human activities. All of them lead to serious and concerning consequence for the total Earth’s survival. However, if people strictly follow regulations and proper meansures, they can diminish the problem and contribute to establishing well-being for the present and future generations.
