As we burn fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas for energy or cut down and burn forests to create pastures and plantations, carbon accumulates and overloads our atmosphere. Certain waste managementand agricultural practices aggravate the problem by releasing other potent global warming gases, such as methane and nitrous oxide. EFFECTS SOLUTIONS Pros Vs. Cons • Ice is melting worldwide, especially at the Earth’s poles. This includes mountain glaciers, ice sheets covering West Antarctica and Greenland, and Arctic sea ice.• Researcher Bill Fraser has tracked the decline of the Adélie penguins on Antarctica, where their numbers have fallen from 32,000 breeding pairs to 11,000 in 30 years.• Sea level rise became faster over the last century.• Some butterflies, foxes, and alpine plants have moved farther north or to higher, cooler areas.• Precipitation (rain and snowfall) has increased across the globe, on average.• Spruce bark beetles have boomed in Alaska thanks to 20 years of warm summers. The insects have chewed up 4 million acres of spruce trees. Examples of EFFECTS Greenhouse Effect Chemical Pollution Global warming is expected to have far-reaching, long-lasting and, in many cases, devastating consequences for planet Earth. For some years, global warming, the gradual heating of Earth's surface, oceans and atmosphere, was a topic of heated debate in the scientific community. Today, the overwhelming consensus of researchers is that global warming is real and is caused by human activity, primarily the burning of fossil fuels that pump carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. A major report released Sept. 27, 2013, by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that scientists are more certain than ever of the link between human activities and global warming. More than 197 international scientific organizations agree that global warming is real and has been caused by human action. • Reduce the amount of heat-trapping emissions we are putting into the atmosphere.• Reducing tropical deforestation can significantly lower global warming emissions and together withefforts to reduce emissions from fossil fuels plays an integral role in a comprehensive long-term solution to global warming.• Media raise doubts about the truth of global warming therefore there should be more education for the public• The transportation sector's emissions have •Encourage the use of wind and solar power• The energy used to power, heat, and cool our homes, businesses, and industries is the single largest contributor to global warming. Energy efficiency technologies allow us to use less energy to get the same or higher level of production, service, and comfort. This approach has vast potential to save both energy and money, and can be deployed quickly.• The transportation sector's emissions have increased at a faster rate than any other energy-using sector over the past decade. A variety of solutions are at hand, including improving efficiency (miles per gallon) in all modes of transport, switching to low-carbon fuels, and reducing vehicle miles traveled through smart growth and more efficient mass transportation systems. • Protect and and plant trees to increase forestlands however it istime consuming and economically doesn't make sense
