What is Global warming ?

Global warming is the long-term heating of Earth’s climate system

observed since the pre-industrial period (between 1850 and 1900)
due to human activities, primarily fossil fuel burning, which increases
heat-trapping greenhouse gas levels in Earth’s atmosphere. The term
is frequently used interchangeably with the term climate change,
though the latter refers to both human- and naturally produced
warming and the effects it has on our planet. It is most commonly
measured as the average increase in Earth’s global surface
temperature.

What is Climate Change?

Climate change is a long-term change in the average weather patterns

that have come to define Earth’s local, regional and global climates.
These changes have a broad range of observed effects that are
synonymous with the term.
Changes observed in Earth’s climate since the early 20th century are
primarily driven by human activities, particularly fossil fuel burning,
which increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas levels in Earth’s
atmosphere, raising Earth’s average surface temperature. These
human-produced temperature increases are commonly referred to as
global warming. Natural processes can also contribute to climate
change, including internal variability (e.g., cyclical ocean patterns like El
Niño, La Niña and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation) and external forcings
(e.g., volcanic activity, changes in the Sun’s energy output, variations in
Earth’s orbit).

Global warming prevention
1.Renewable energies
The first way to prevent climate change is to move away from fossil fuels.
What are the alternatives? Renewable energies like solar, wind, biomass
and geothermal.

2.Energy & water efficiency

Producing clean energy is essential, but reducing our consumption of
energy and water by using more efficient devices (e.g. LED light bulbs,
innovative shower system) is less costly and equally important.

3.Sustainable transportation
Promoting public transportation, carpooling, but also electric and hydrogen
mobility, can definitely help reduce CO2 emissions and thus fight global
warming.

4.Sustainable infrastructure
In order to reduce the CO2 emissions from buildings - caused by heating, air
conditioning, hot water or lighting - it is necessary both to build new low
energy buildings, and to renovate the existing constructions.

5.Sustainable agriculture & forest management

Encouraging better use of natural resources, stopping massive deforestation
as well as making agriculture greener and more efficient should also be a
priority.

6.Responsible consumption & recycling

Adopting responsible consumption habits is crucial, be it regarding food
(particularly meat), clothing, cosmetics or cleaning products. Last but not
least, recycling is an absolute necessity for dealing with waste.
