Global warming is one of the most pressing issues facing our planet today. The rise in global temperatures is a direct result of human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, which have led to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions.
The scientific community is in agreement that global warming is real and is causing significant changes to the Earth's climate. In this article, we will explore the causes and effects of global warming, as well as the actions that individuals and governments can take to mitigate its impact.
What is global warming?
Global warming refers to the gradual increase in the Earth's average surface temperature. This temperature rise is caused by the increase in greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere. Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, trap heat from the sun, leading to a rise in global temperatures.
The primary cause of global warming is the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas. When these fuels are burned, they release large amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Other human activities, such as deforestation, also contribute to global warming by reducing the number of trees that absorb carbon dioxide.
What are the effects of global warming?
Global warming has a wide range of effects on the Earth's climate, ecosystems, and human societies. Some of the most significant effects include:
Rising sea levels: As global temperatures rise, the Earth's polar ice caps are melting, causing sea levels to rise. This rise in sea levels can lead to flooding in coastal areas, displacement of populations, and damage to infrastructure.
Changes in precipitation patterns: Global warming can cause changes in precipitation patterns, leading to more frequent and severe droughts, floods, and other extreme weather events.
Loss of biodiversity: As temperatures rise, many plant and animal species are struggling to adapt to changing conditions, leading to a loss of biodiversity.
Health impacts: Global warming can have significant health impacts, including an increase in air pollution, the spread of disease-carrying insects, and heat-related illnesses.
Economic impacts: Global warming can have significant economic impacts, including damage to infrastructure, decreased agricultural productivity, and increased energy costs.
What can be done to mitigate global warming?
Mitigating global warming requires a concerted effort from individuals, businesses, and governments. Some of the key actions that can be taken include:
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions: The most important action that can be taken to mitigate global warming is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This can be done by using cleaner energy sources, such as wind and solar power, and by reducing energy consumption through energy efficiency measures.
Increase the use of renewable energy: Governments and businesses can encourage the use of renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, by providing incentives and investing in research and development.
Plant more trees: Planting more trees can help to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, mitigating the effects of global warming.
Support sustainable agriculture: Sustainable agriculture practices can reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture and help to maintain soil health.
Reduce waste: Reducing waste can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by reducing the need for landfills and incinerators.
Conclusion
Global warming is a complex issue that requires a multi-faceted approach to address. The scientific evidence is clear that global temperatures are rising, and this is having significant impacts on the Earth's climate, ecosystems, and human societies.
Mitigating global warming requires action at all levels, from individuals and businesses to governments and international organizations. By reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing the use of renewable energy, and supporting sustainable agriculture and forestry practices, we can mitigate the impacts of global warming and help to protect the planet for future generations.

Was the company psychologist - Training Manager of Ingersoll Rand who taught The Next Instance Of Now as well as Body Language - Speed Reading / Effective Writing / Finance for Non Financial Managers / A Marketing Experience - Xerox
Telephone Techniques / Negotiating Skills / Effective Man Management / TUBES
And a host of other courses numbering about 70 which he has gifted me his notes for.
Including Mind Mapping / Memory Techniques...….
I have just written a chapter on the Open University here and saved it - It has not saved because my link to the internet had dropped and I did not cut it to the clip board to copy...…
Basically I have done many OU courses designed to last 15 weeks which I compress into one week using systems analysis / effective writing techniques.
I have signed up for two free courses in economics - which I will get on to them on Monday about to get my ou sign in details - course content.
I will have to do it again one day.
I have OU Quals in Managemenmt - to Masters Standard - Failed Openings as I did not Harvard Reference but was assessed as Masters.
Level 2 Java Programming - Which I dropped out of because no body came to the seminar and the tutor said that the course went no further than the C City and Guilds that I already had.
OU Passes in Health and Society.
Harvard CS 50 Drop Out as the course robot did not recognise code commenting and that code that worked perfectly well which was structured with subroutines did not pass with 100%
Saving that I am a champion of CS50. But for me it did not teach Jackson Structured Programming - the basics of OOP. (Sub-routines) The robot not geared to evaluate subroutines in my mind !
Here is an introduction to Greta Thunberg in Swedish:
Greta Thunberg is a young climate activist from Sweden who has become known worldwide for her passionate fight to stop climate change. She was born on January 3, 2003 in Stockholm and has since become one of the most influential people in the world when it comes to climate issues.
Greta gained international recognition after starting a school strike for the climate outside the Riksdag building in Stockholm in August 2018. She quickly caught the attention of the media and her strike inspired other young people around the world to also take climate change seriously. Since then, she has spoken at the United Nations climate summits, met with leaders from around the world, and become a symbol for an entire generation of young people fighting for a sustainable future.
