Global warming The paper talks about the difficult and complex problems which are posed by global warming. It explains that how government and business are taking appropriate response to climate changes. Further, it explains the government intervention to correct and minimize the environmental impact of the business activity. It explains that how the global warming is becoming the serious problem for the people and environment. It describes the various strategies to overcome on global warming in the environment. Global Warming is also known as Climate change. It refers to the rise in the surface temperature of the Earth due to the greenhouse effect which is created by greenhouse gases. Nowadays Global Warming is becoming a serious ecological as well as a social issue for the entire world that is disturbing and destroying our lives.It has become a major atmospheric and distinctive issue. Our earth’s surface is becoming hot andburns by trapping the heat coming from the sun which is increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide. (Cook et al, 2013). As the population is increasing, demand is also increasing. Moreover, increasing demand of industrialization to fulfill each and every need is causing the release of different greenhouses gases through industrial processes which in turn giving rise to the earth’s temperature (Trenberth & Fasullo, 2013). The release of different types of gases in the atmosphere has also been increased in the recent years. Natural and industrial processes release carbon dioxide gas. Methane is another greenhouse gas which gets releases by anaerobic decomposition of organic materials. Other greenhouse gases are halocarbons, chlorofluorocarbons, chlorine, nitrous oxide etc. These greenhouse gases get combined and collected in the environment and then it disturbs the radiative balance of the atmosphere (Dai, 2013). Another main reason of Global Warming is a reduction of the ozone layer over Antarctica. Ozone layer gives protection to the earth’s surface by inhibiting the harmful rays of sun coming to the earth. But ozone layer is declining day by day and giving rise to the chlorofluorocarbon gas. And now it is the big sign of-of increasing global warming in the earth’ssurface. It is the main human-generated cause of global warming (McGlade &Ekins, 2015). Further, the main cause of global warming is the presence of many aerosols in the environment which is also increasing the earth’s surface temperature. These atmospheric aerosols cause cooling to the planet and absorb the solar and infrared radiation by making the air warm day by day. They can also change the chemical properties of the clouds and also changes 2
Global warming their lifetime and extent. The increasing amount of aerosols in the atmosphere is a result of human activities. Dust is produced by organic droplets and agriculture and aerosols are producedby the industrial processes by the burning of a wide range of products in the manufacturing process and soot particles are generated by biomass burning. (Pauls, Nowak, Bálint & Pfenninger, 2013). Global Warming is also caused by burning fossil fuels by man and nature which increasesthe level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Human is the most important cause of Global Warming as they all need vehicles. People demand vehicles is increasing day by day. None of the can live without a vehicle. And vehicles use gasoline through which causes emission of carbon dioxide gas (Bebber, Ramotowski & Gurr, 2013). Moreover, manufacturers of automobiles have been warned to manufacture more effective and efficient engines of the vehicles so the emission of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can be reduced to an extent. As demand for vehicles is increasing day by day, so it is creating a big challenge to the global warming (Morton, 2013).Another main cause of global warming is deforestation i.e cutting down of trees and increasing population. Deforestation which causes cutting of plants from the earth’s surface disturbs the natural carbon cycle. Plants take away carbon dioxide gas and utilizes it to make food through water, sunlight and carbon dioxide but as plants are cutting down so carbon dioxideis getting more and more and oxygen which humans and animals need for survival is decreasing day by day which in turn causing global warming and making lives difficult for humans and animals. (Desmet & Rossi-Hansberg, 2015). Methane is a very harmful for the earth and it is released by animals. (Martens, 2014). Another cause of global warming is an increase in the demand of technologies i.e AC, refrigerator, electric machines, automobiles, washing machines, and microwave for making human life easy and full of luxury. All these resources directly or indirectly contribute to the global warming. (Egan & Mullin, 2012).Some other possible ways are also there so that global warming can be reduced to an extent which includes improvements in the vehicle fuel economy and to energy efficiency so thatless energy will get produced. Increase in hydrogen produced from renewable sources, increase 3
