What caused Global Warming?

It is primarily attributed to the accumulation of water vapor, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere. This is not really a bad fact because having these gases creates a fine balance in the earth’s body of waters. Without these gases, the oceans will freeze; we would not want that. This accumulation somehow has natural causes. However, man’s activities like fossil fuel burning,pollution,deforestation among others have largely contributed to the dramatic increase of accumulated “gases”.

What are the effects of Global Warming?

When these gases get trapped for long, it dramatically causes the dramatic rise of temperature. This dramatic increase has led massive ice glaciers to melt, ultimate dry out of land surface and other notable abnormal changes. Al Gore mentioned some effects: Myanmar Cyclone, Hurricane Katrina, and rise in sea levels causing islands to disappear.

My Perspective and Opinion to Global Warming

The documentary Inconvenient Truth was classic and laudable. It really stirred controversies when it was released until AL Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize for it, some critics then became fans. Personally, i am both a critic and fan. A fan because i admire people like him who are made up of rare courage and motive . He went through places to spread what he knew even though sometimes, he wasn’t given attention and support by the US Government and NASA. Critic because instead, he must focus on disseminating these information to mega companies who kill people and nature just to earn billions. Do you really think switching our electricity-consuming habits at home will make a big impact to this gigantic phenomena? Instead, why not think about closing all factories, malls, airports, trade centers, power plants,etc. and going back to candles at night and cooking using raw woods for fire,etc. Obviously,it is not a sensible option because almost all of our life’s conveniences revolve around electricity. But obviously, this is the ultimate solution: termination of consumerism of electricity. But the big questions are:
Are the big companies willing to compromise?
Are YOU willing to give up your conveniences as well?
It is really hard to decide upon this. And it’s pointless to blame each other. Let’s just accept the eventual consequences of a modern world. The least we could do is to not support products that violates IIEE’s nature standards and other relevant standards, organize awareness of this,etc . Besides, the world is in His hands and he won’t let go of it. Never.
