Global Warming: Causes, Effects, and Potential Mitigation Strategies

This report provides a comprehensive overview of global warming, its causes, and its effects on the environment and human activities. The report highlights the role of human activities, such as the exploitation of natural resources and the emission of greenhouse gases, as primary drivers of global warming. It discusses the impact of rising global temperatures on rainfall patterns, agricultural methodologies, and the melting of ice caps. The report references various studies and authors, presenting different perspectives on the severity and potential reversibility of global warming. It also explores potential solutions, including afforestation, conservation of natural resources, and the implementation of sustainable practices. The report emphasizes the need for global cooperation and individual actions to mitigate the impacts of global warming and create a sustainable future.

Summary
Global Warming has detrimental effects on the entire world and has resulted in drastic
manner due to exploitation of natural resources by humans. According to author, this has led to
melting of ice caps and changing climatic conditions involve extreme temperatures due to
presence of atmospheric carbon dioxide. In order to overcome this challenge, people from all
around the world must become vigilant and ensure promotion of afforestation and conservation
of natural resources like oceans, wildlife sanctuaries and more must be preserved with adherence
to strict guidelines. Lastly, the sustainability must be implemented in all walks of life with
dedication and compassion to save mankind.
Relevance
It is significant in terms of minimizing the effects on the human race. Global warming
has paved the path of erratic and uncertain climatic changes which must be mitigated on an
immediate basis. This incremental temperature of earth's surface influenced the rainfall patterns,
flow of streams, agricultural methodologies and more.
Opinion
As said by Hughes and et.al., 2018, global surface temperature is indicator of climate
change. There has been increase in 15% rate in global warming. The emission of nitrogen oxide
in atmosphere has highly impacted global environment. The article states that there has been 1%
indirect rise in emissions. The author agrees that global warming is due to human activities and
exploitation of natural resources. The people are highly dependent on natural resources to fulfil
their needs. There are no restrictions implemented which stop human to use resources. Moreover,
rise in population is also playing significant role in global warming. It has resulted in increasing
needs. Furthermore, high use of fossil fuels by industries have resulted in emission of nitrogen in
climate.
According to Baer and Singer, 2016., excessive use of natural resources has led to its
depletion. This has changed the overall context of climate all over the world. Thus, humans are
the only factors which lead to global warming and now the situation can not be reversed.
However, on the other hand, Alfieri and et.al., 2015, it is not in complete agreement that
global warming cannot be reversed which has occurred due to only anthropogenic activities.
There are number of factors that led to this rise of earth's temperature. This involves ocean
acidification and slow melting of ice caps and polar sheets for longer durations and might be
1

prevented by covering these sheets with spraying of sunlight blocking chemicals to protect the
rise of temperature. Additionally, this acidification would be reduced by saying no to plastic and
promote environmental friendly practices like planting trees, using organic products etc. Along
with dumping waste in more sustainable ways such as promoting recycling of garbage in
accordance to the materials by removing the hazardous chemicals like Nickel, carbonate before
throwing it into water bodies like ponds, small rivers.
