Global Warming

Global warming's consequences and scientific understanding have grown during the
previous decade. Global warming has influenced these places in the previous decade, along
with their scientific reasons. Three urgent global warming issues will be highlighted:

1. Rising Tempratures: 

Global average temperatures have been rising for a decade. Greenhouse gases like CO2,
CH4, and N2O in Earth's atmosphere drive this increase. These gases trap heat from the
sun, causing the greenhouse effect and global warming. Burning fossil fuels,
deforestation, and industry raise greenhouse gas concentrations.

2. Extreme weather events:

Heatwaves, hurricanes, floods, and wildfires have increased in frequency and intensity
during the previous decade. Global warming intensifies these catastrophes in numerous
ways. Warmer temperatures enhance evaporation, which boosts atmospheric moisture
and intensifies storms. Higher sea surface temperatures fuel tropical cyclones, making
them more destructive.

3. Melting ice and rising sea levels:

Earth's ice caps and glaciers have melted significantly in the past decade. Arctic sea ice
area and thickness are at historic lows. Melting ice raises sea levels, endangering coastal
populations and ecosystems. Scientific consensus relates this glacier melt to human-
caused global warming. Warmer temperatures melt glaciers, ice sheets, and sea ice.

Prioritise the following to prevent global warming:

1. Transition to renewable energy: 

Reduce fossil fuel use and switch to renewable energy sources including solar, wind, and
hydroelectric power. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions from power generation and
transportation, this requires rising renewable energy infrastructure investment,
supporting policies, and energy efficiency.

2. Deforestation and land-use practises:

Deforestation releases carbon dioxide into the sky and reduces the planet's capacity to
absorb CO2. Maintaining carbon sinks requires sustainable land-use practises,
replanting, and forest preservation.

3. Greenhouse gas emissions reduction: 


Reduce greenhouse gas emissions in industry, transportation, agriculture, and waste
management. Cleaner technology, energy efficiency improvements, sustainable
agriculture, and carbon pricing regulations can achieve this.

These issues demand global cooperation, new solutions, and sustainable practises. Global
warming mitigation and a sustainable future depend on governments, corporations, and
individuals. Climate change science informs decision-making and action.
