ENGLISH ESSAY

Is the process of global warming now at the stage where it is impossible to back up?
With the increasing liberalization and globalization, industrialization has become one of
major indicator of the national economy. With the increasing demand for new products and
improved lifestyle, innovation has left no stone unturned to search such elements which can be
used to fulfill the needs. During industrialization, where large variety and huge number of goods
have been produced, elements used for producing goods have started harming the nature. The
slow and gradual rise of the temperature of earth is known as global warming. After the time
when half of the 19th century was over, the heat of the globe has risen very rapidly. Experts can
see the acceleration in the temperature of the earth (Hughes, 2017). According to NASA, since
134 years, the 16 warmest years have occurred in the 21st century. Whereas, many experts have
denied the rise of temperature and they claim that it has ‘slowed down’ or is paused, but various
studies and researches has proved that the scenario is growing greatly opposite. Scientist even
shows worry that if we’ll not take initiatives to stop it, the temperature of U.S. will raise very
quickly in next 100 years (National geography, 2015).
This rise in the temperature of the earth has caused a threat to the existence of beauty
where ice-bergs are melting due to enlargement of pores in the layer of earth atmosphere. It is
very clear that functions of ozone layer is to protect the earth from the UV rays (Hughes, 2017).
When the temperature of atmosphere increases, it is the ozone layer that absorbs the harmful UV
rays. However, the capacity of the ozone layer has been depleting because the layer has been
diminishing. This depletion of ozone layer can cause skin cancer and health damages. However,
chemicals such as CFC and halons that has been used in refrigerators, fire extinguishers, spray
cans have reduced the amount of ozone in stratosphere especially near the polar latitudes that
have further lead to a big Antarctic ozone hole (Hughes, 2017). Although, human population

have minimized the use of CFCs but it is very difficult to recover the hole and even it is a slow
process. The increasing problems related to temperature increase has been hampering the life of
some creatures as their body is not able to resist the increasing temperature.
Without taking any serious steps on the end of societal changes, earth will keep facing
these global environmental calamity which will lead to worsen the situation, water shortages,
huge species, and poverty. While discussing on international panel of board that has affected the
lives of the people in a negative way (Hughes, 2017). This would lead to the creation of positive
impact by altering certain situations. Undoubtedly, some of the environmental changes can
change the whole life and environment may become a bit soothing rather than fire prevalence.
This misbalance also lead to permanent changes in the lifestyle, sea- level rise, and a huge
number of the animals will become extinct soon.

The major cause behind global warming is the increase in the level of greenhouse gases.
Greenhouse gases have two categories, one which consist gases like carbon dioxide, methane,
nitrous oxide and water vapor. These gases evolve naturally in the earth’s atmosphere whereas
the other category includes gases like Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydroflourocarbons (HFCs)
and other gases which are synthetic (National geography, 2015). The above data reveals that we
often say a country is said developed only if it has high GDP, low inflation rate and strong
economic conditions but growing contribution of economic sector is a major reason of global
warming.

Now, when the sunlight hits the surface of the earth, its surface soaks the energy and
diversifies into heat. For instance- China is an leading global warming producing organizations
for about all the kinds of CO2 emissions. Now, in earth’s atmosphere, molecules of greenhouse
gases are present, which traps some amount of this heat while the rest goes back into the space.
Further, in 2015, US environmental protection agency help the group of people to clean the
power plants of the country by the end of 2030 under the clean power plan. Apart from this,
trump administration has proposed the repealing critical tools that curbs climate changes. Basic
necessitates can bring huge to industrial revolution, deforestation, and air pollution that can be
caused by release of toxic gases in the atmosphere, the amount of greenhouse gases has increased
rapidly since last 100 years (National geography, 2015). The more the molecules of greenhouse
gases, the more the heat will be absorbed thus resulting into the rise of the temperature (NIWA,
2016). As India and china has maximum inexpensive workforce, production houses are more in
comparison to other countries and so as the greenhouse effect.
Though greenhouse gases are very important for survival of living beings on this earth, as
it makes earth a warm place to survive, but its excess is causing troubles for all the creatures.
Another according to Obama administration, US department of transportation will propose that it
is necessary to cut down the emissions, fuel standards and carbon pollution in order to cut the
emissions to 2020s (NIWA, 2016). This hindrance to employ more vehicles can lead to
protection of climate and the health. Global warming is the result of greenhouse effect and many
more factors. For example- melting glaciers and more drought is a sign of severe warmth in the
environment that has led to shortage of water and increasing level of the sea. Increasing sea level
have led to risk of wildfires in American West and Gulf of Mexico. It is important to understand

that destroying the race of inception, where forest farm, copies hued differentiate
dispitualreactses because which due to increased damages. That can give the impact of
differentiate possible actions such as increasing health, it is preparing for the exams other
diseases caused by the lack of pure competition, Allergies and Asthma have become common
due to increasing growth and high level of conditions (NIWA, 2016).
The adverse effects of global warming could be seen on a global level. The rise of sea-level,
melting down of glaciers, dying of cloud forests, increase in heat waves and droughts, stronger
hurricanes and many more are causing troubles for all sorts of living being. Its future impacts
will lead to extinction or migration of various species. It will also lead to various adverse
diseases for humans like respiratory, injuries, malnutrition etc (NIWA, 2016).
Now, to this global problem, we need some global solutions and their implications on
grass root level. First of all, we should depend lesser and lesser on fossil fuels; instead we should
create energies like solar energy, wind energy, geothermal and energy from biomass. Second
important solution is to increase the use of public transport and car pooling because excessive
amounts of vehicle on the road will emit excessive amount of toxic gases. Thirdly, we should
reduce the consumption of energies by using energy efficient devices. Also we should increase
plantation, promote the idea of organic farming and recycling of waste like food, plastic, clothes
etc. Our small steps towards the solution will result in massive transformation. Although, the
best and traditional way to increase the production of each product as that it will have to increase
the productivity of the solar system (National geography, 2015).
There can be the measures through which we can resort to against rising temperature of
the earth which leads to global warming. It is important for the save energy so it is suggested that

powering your home with renewable energy and transform our present energy system to one
which depends less on fossil fuels. Further, Afforestation is the best way to reduce environmental
related issues. Further. The company plans to Invest in energy-efficient appliances so that we
may reduce our consumption of non-renewable energy consumption which in turn may lead to
reduction in non-renewables used. In addition to this, with the growing of awareness among the
people, we can resort to use more energy efficient vehicles in order to reduce emission of
greenhouse gases and less fuel usage. Each personal outstep will lead to fulfillment of issues and
recovery of the ozone layer. Each and every one of us has our duties towards the society or
country we live in, so we must switch off the appliances when not in use which will curb the
energy wastage. The company should comply with various access to strict rules and regulations
regarding the carbon emission and thereby limit the amount of carbon emitted by polluters (Karl
et al., 2015).
• Trees helps synthesize CO2 present in atmosphere into O2 thereby reducing afforestation
CO2 released in environment can be reduced (Karl et al., 2015).
• Reducing the greenhouse gases emitted which includes carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide,
methane, etc. this can be achieved by using transportation which relies less on fossil fuels; or
production of clean energy as wind, solar, hydro-power etc.; industries releasing greenhouse
gases must learn technologies to bring these gases to a better use and thereby reduce their
emission (National geography, 2015).
