What is global warming? It is the gradual heating of Earth’s surface, ocean, and atmosphere, is caused by human activity, primarily the burning of fossil fuels that pump carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

Personally, I would say that humans are the most contributor of the occurrence of global warming. Why? Because humans are the ones who burn fossil fuels for the use in cars, buildings, factories, power plants and the like. They are farming livestock, they cut more trees in the forests. These activities add large amount of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. To name a few the main causes of global warming is the industrial activity where some factories didn’t throw their garbage and harmful materials properly, some throw it on bodies of water. And you see those thick black smoke came from their chimneys? It’s very harmful in people’s health and in our environment. Another one is the agricultural activity where livestock farming is abundantly produced. By simply eating meat a person can be a cause of global warming, when we eat meat it means the production is much also .One thing is deforestation, it can also be a so much cause of global warming whereas if you cut trees flashfloods and soil erosions widespread in the areas. Humans can be the one to be blamed because when we use paper in writing or in any transaction or activity need a paper to be used it means to cut a tree for the paper production.
What percentage of global warming is caused by humans?
100%,humans emissions and activities have cause around 100% of the warming observed since 1950, according to the Intergovernmental panel on Climate Change’s (IPPC) fifth assessment report,13 Dec 2017. Source: https//www.carbonbrief.org
Is Global Warming Be Considered A Serious Threat?
Definitely yes, because it can possibly result in climate change, reduced agricultural productivity, water supply shortage, health problems, flooding and erosions specially in coastal areas, rainforests will be largely cleared, we will have a shortage for food and habitation, and the worst is it can cause so much conflicts. Global warming is very harmful. When the temperature gets higher, types of disasters such as storms, floods, drought and heatwaves become worsen.
Is There A Way To Solve problems As Such?
Yes, of course, every problem has a solution. As humans, we are the one who should take full responsibility in solving global warming. Some ways to help is to power our home with renewable energy, we can use solar panels (which are much available nowadays) so that we can lessen the consuming of electricity. Invest in energy efficient appliances. Many of the appliances in the market today is said to be more efficient like refrigerators and air conditioners. And instead of using aircon just use the electric fan or you can turn the aircon for about four hours only then you have to turn it off. We should also try to buy better bulb ,Light Emitting Diode (LED) is available now every where.Pull the plug(s) of the appliance or gadget when not in use. These recommendations help a lot in in solving problem about global warming.
If everyone is responsible in every little thing we will not experience this kind of problem. We should always be careful in everything we do. What we did today will have consequences for tomorrow. If we didn’t care take care of our earth now what will it be tomorrow?
Give time and ask ourselves, what will be the life of our grandchildren and great grandchildren if we neglect our world? ?Do they have fresh air to breath? Clean water to drink? Fresh fruits and vegetables to eat? Or will they live in 42 degree Celsius temperature or maybe worse? Think also of tomorrow not only of today.
