Global warming is the gradual increase in the Earth’s average surface temperature due to the emission of greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide, from human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. This increase in temperature can lead to various negative impacts on the environment, including rising sea levels, more frequent and severe weather events, and changes in ecosystems.
To protect our world from the effects of global warming, we can take several actions, including:
-
Reduce our carbon footprint by using renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, and reducing our energy consumption.
-
Plant more trees and protect forests, which absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
-
Use public transportation, carpool, or walk/bike instead of driving alone.
-
Reduce waste by recycling, composting, and reducing our consumption of single-use plastics.
-
Support policies and regulations that promote the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
-
Educate ourselves and others about the impacts of global warming and the actions we can take to mitigate them.
