Are governments doing enough to prevent global warming? Global warming can be controlled and sustained if we start now. There are an overwhelming number of issues that need to be addressed in order for us to help improve our environment. Global warming makes us feel very uneasy. To know that one day the polar icecaps could melt is a scary thought. If global warming continues to increase and raises the earth's atmospheric temperatures, the melting of the polar ice caps could become a reality. This would cause horrific devastation to many parts of the world. There would be floods, record heat waves, and destruction of aquatic life, scorched forests and disappearing species. If global warming continues to go unattended, it will slowly destroy the earth's ecosystems and the life that depends on them.
What is global warming? Global warming is described in many different ways some of which I wish to explain in my paper. There are many contributing factors as well; some of which are emissions of gases into the atmosphere, pollution, and people's wasteful habits. This paper will also cover many contributing factors, which make global warming a reality and even possibly a global killer. Also, alternative forms of fuel for cars to reduce emissions that they cause will be discussed. Finally, what the world's governments are doing to prevent global warming and what they are doing to help sustain the problem are discussed. Most authorities blame pollution as the main factor promoting global warming, but that would be a premature assumption. It has been known for some time now that automobile and industrial emissions are a factor of global warming, and big cuts are needed before it's too late. Where the big problem lies is in the use of fossil fuels for energy. We cannot ignore the fact that vast amounts of fossil fuels are burned every day and 40 per cent of the emissions stay in the atmosphere. Cutting emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, and other greenhouse gases that trap heat in the atmosphere, science hasn't helped prove who's right or wrong.
