Global warming is something that we are all contributing to and something that can be easily reduced. Global warming is caused by the greenhouse gases which are carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide. Carbon dioxide is increased by smoke from vehicles. Smoke from factories produces all three of the greenhouse gases.
Luckily trees absorb carbon dioxide and maintain the carbon dioxide balance in the atmosphere. Unfortunately people cut down trees to make buildings and roads. This is called deforestation. With lots of deforestation happening the carbon dioxide balance is not being maintained.
The layer of greenhouse gases is becoming thicker. The thicker layer of greenhouse gases traps more heat, which is increasing the average temperature of earth. If we do not take steps to reduce global warming, it will lead to loss of plants, animals and human lives.
Not only will that happen but already scientists believe that by 2040 the arctic will be completely gone! Gosh - I'll only be 34 then! And I know that everyone cares or wants to visit the arctic at some point right? And also imagine all of those arctic animals polar bears, snow leopards,penguins and much more all gone extinct!
There are many ways to reduce global warming here are some of them…
- Plant more trees
- Reduce, reuse, recycle
- Use less hot water
- Turn off electronic devices when not in use
- Spread awareness
I hope that you now know how to reduce global warming. And how it is affecting us. So remember all these ways to reduce global warming and maybe the arctic will stay here for longer!
