Task 7- Project Report

Everyone agrees that our planet is getting warmer. As a result, global warming is becoming a serious problem that forms a risk to our earth. Many scientists think that the making of CO2 and greenhouse gases is warming the atmosphere, and this could be very dangers for human life. Therefore, the action should be taken to stop or reduce the harmful of this issue otherwise; our planet and our life will be in trouble. This report will examine the causes, problems of the global warming and will recommend some solution for it.

There are several stuff could cause the global warming. The emission of greenhouse gases like CO2, methane and nitrous oxide is the major cause of global warming. The power plant is the main source of carbon dioxide which emits large amounts of carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide produces from burring of coals, fossil fuels and most of industries. Although 20 % of CO2 comes from vehicles such as cars and trucks, the construction of building causes more pollution than vehicles (Ayres, 2001). Methane is the second major cause of heating up the atmosphere. It’s an important factor of greenhouse gases. In addition, methane warms the earth 20 times as much as the carbon dioxide traps heat in atmosphere. The third main cause of global warming is nitrous oxide. The hazards of this come from the using of fertilizers in agriculture and burning of organic compound. Others causes such as industries revaluation and human activities that lead to warm the planet.

There are a lot of problems that result from global warming. The rising in the sea level is one of major problems of this phenomenon (Lerner and Wilmoth, 2008). This could effect on the low coastal areas and could cause flooding in these areas. Another problem is that changing in the climate. The climate is changed which effect on North and South Pole. In additions, many countries over the world are suffering from hurricanes and other natural disasters. Furthermore, there is some diseases appear such as malaria. Also, there is a negative effect on the animals because the melting glaciers could effect in the animal life such as a polar bear and fishes.

Many solutions can be done to reduce and minimize the causes of the global warming. The solution is known which is reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere before it's too late. There is several ways to deal with these emissions. One idea is that stop dependency on fossil fuels and switching it by renewable energy such as winds and solar energy which can be substituted for the energy needs. Green areas can be possible solution because more trees can absorb more CO2 and produce O2. One of the most important solutions is to offset the CO2 emission (Solution to Global Warming). It can balance with the emission. As an example, if UAE emits a large amount of carbon dioxide, they can run an offset in Africa. In addition, the individual can work to reduce the impact of global warming. For example, using public transport instated of using own cars.

In my opinion, global warming is an international issue and human activities are the main factors of it. The new technology should be used to decrease the impacts of global warming. As we know, transportations are one of the biggest polluter, so government should look for alternative at least in public transport. Finally, both government and people must work together to reduce the greenhouse emission because in future the earth will be in danger.
