“Reducing heat-trapping emissions doesn't mean giving up modern conveniences; it means making smart choices, using energy-efficient products and understanding which areas of your life generate the most carbon emissions.” (Ten Personal Solutions to Global Warming) Ten years ago, global warming was not as much of a concern as it is now. No matter how informed we are, we as a society seem to ignore the future disasters that global warming will bring. Global warming is a “global” dilemma and everyone has an obligation to help reduce emissions. This phenomenon has a strong impact on our climate, our health and our environment. As the climate rises, diseases will also increase which will cause more deaths in this world. The heat will warm our waters causing the polar ice caps to melt. Global warming can also cause natural disasters such as hurricanes, droughts, fires and many others. “…these impacts will continue to intensify, become increasingly costly and harmful, and increasingly affect the entire planet, including you, your community and your family” (Global Warming Impacts). The world is already in danger, let's do something now before the situation gets worse. There is enough evidence to prove that humans are the main cause of global warming. What to do about it is the question that remains controversial (GWS). The choices we make today, such as preventing greenhouse gas emissions, will make a big difference in the future. In addition to decreasing the amount of gas we emit, we can also increase the amount we get rid of. Plants and trees remove CO2, so if we change the way we farm and increase forests we can store more carbon more naturally. (global warming solutions 1) Stops......middle of paper......in global emissions. All of these are very important steps that we could all take to stop global warming and have a better future because we as humans are not doing our job to keep our planet safe. As an individual there are many personal solutions one can have. “The routine decisions that shape our days – what to eat for dinner, where to shop, how to get to work – may seem small, but overall they have a large effect on global warming.” (Ten Personal Solutions to Global Warming) Many everyday things can help, it may not seem like it but it can make a huge difference. Little things like changing regular light bulbs to fluorescent bulbs can give you the same amount of light for 15% of the energy. A great way to reduce global warming is to spread the word, imagine if every American reduced their emissions, how much we could save??
