Global warming effects is felt negatively throughout the globe. It includes the gradual warming of the earths temperature which has been effect since the pre-industrial period. According to World Meteorological Organization, there has been a gradual rise in the current 10 years attributed to human activity , particularly the burning of fossil fuels , which raises the levels of heat – trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Thus, Increased efforts to combat climate change are being made by a number of countries throughout the world. Everyone on Earth must make adjustments and implement the proposed measures to combat climate change. Many of these solutions, which have been established in different countries, have an effect on human conduct. In fact, efforts to slow global warming have centered on curbing its primary cause: the combustion of fossil fuels. Technology and policies are being supported to ensure the effectiveness of the preventative initiatives.
Natural and anthropogenic sources of carbon dioxide and methane emissions are among the many factors contributing to global warming. According to Natural Resources Defense Council (2022) the atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have increased from 280 ppm to 390 ppm in the past 10 years. More than 30 billion tons of carbon dioxide are released year as a result of human activity, which is 135 times more than is released by volcanoes. It has far-reaching consequences, from increased sea levels to the annihilation of entire species of flora and fauna.
Furthermore, it poses threats to our health, food security, and water resources. Agricultural output, power generation, and other essential services (Smith & Leiserowitz, 2013). The fishing industry will suffer as ocean temperatures rise. Frequent heat waves and cold waves are harbingers of a future when abrupt climate change poses serious risks to human health. Insects that spread disease will be able to thrive in the humid heat, leading to an increase in the prevalence of infectious diseases. Droughts and floods will cause a significant drop in food production, leading to widespread starvation and the premature death of many people.
The increase in global average temperatures above the levels predicted by scientists affects the natural ecology and the people. Experts agree that rising levels of CO and higher atmospheric pollutants pose a serious threat to the environment. however renewable energy sources like biomass, and wind can help mitigate this (Smith & Leiserowitz, 2013). Hence, renewable resources are essential if the world is to tackle this problem. Global warming requires a clear set strategy necessary to remediate the effects , Though, these solutions already exist in the real world, Its success depends on individual behavioral changes that, in turn, affect how people consume and produce energy.
These necessary shifts often involve new policies, ways of thinking, and technologies that can promote both more efficient and less resource-intensive practices (Dhillon & Wuehlisch,2013) Increases in solar and wind power, a carbon tax or fee, biofuel production from all organic waste, and careful forest management are just a few ideas that have the potential to lessen the world’s reliance on carbon-based fuels. In addition, these measures may help lower other particular gases that help to trap heat on the earth. Thus, global warming can be mitigated using these renewable sources, and this can be done by individuals or the entire planet (Dhillon & Wuehlisch, 2013)
