Global Warming is not natural – How? - Warming up of the environment around us is normal. It can be stated as natural too. However, the question is, is there any extent to which it is said to be normal and natural?
Warming up of the environment around us is normal. It can be
stated as natural too. However, the question is, is there any extent to which
it is said to be normal and natural? Well, today’s state and level of
global
warming is a threat to earth’s
existence. And, the reason or the cause of
global
warming condition of today is not natural.
Global
warming is basically the result of greenhouse effect on earth. Now,
it is important for us to understand, what is greenhouse effect? The warming up
of the atmosphere due to gases and vapor can be treated as greenhouse effect.
There are certain elements known as greenhouse gases. These
green house gases are like carbon
dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, water vapor etc.
When released, greenhouse gases in the atmosphere lead to
global warming. These gases have got
the characteristic of trapping the heat in them and thus increasing the
temperature level around. This clearly results in
global warming.
Greenhouse effect has always been there. However, it has
become a threat now as it is rising day by day. The main contributors to today’s situation are manmade.
Global warming can result in drastic things. Volcanoes, floods,
droughts are few natural calamities triggered by
global warming. Apart from them, another
global warming effect is melting of the glaciers. With
global warming glaciers, the sea level
is rising day by day. This imposes as another threat of earth merging under
water.
With all these threats, before we take measures to save our
self from the effects of
global warming,
it is essential that we understand the causes of it. The manmade causes of
global warming are:
Cause 1: Power Plants: Power plants are the major contributor
of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. They burn fossil fuels to generate power
and releases huge amount of this harmful greenhouse gas. Undoubtedly this is
not a natural cause.
Cause 2: Packaged items: With so much of packaging around for
all items, be it gifts, food etc, lot of resources go wasted. Thus, it is an
indirect contributor to
global warming.
Most of the things are packaged in plastic bags, hence increases the garbage
around. If things are packaged in paper bags, then this paper is obtained by
cutting down trees.
Cause 3:
Deforestation: With huge number of trees getting cut down for a lot of things
and land, we are left with fewer friends who can absorb harmful gases from the
atmosphere. Trees not just absorb these gases but also releases life gas i.e.
oxygen.
Cause 4: Wastage of fuel and power: Mankind loves to show off
what they have got. We go from same place to same place in different cars. This
way we are consuming a lot of fuel which can be saved for future. With more
usage of fuel, there is more pollution in the air. This also sums up to
global warming.
Hence,
global warming
is a natural thing to happen, however, when we talk about it becoming a threat;
the contributor is human being.
