Global Warming: Causes and Consequences

Global warming is primarily caused by the excessive release of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat from the sun, leading to a rise in Earth's average temperature. The primary sources of these emissions are the burning of fossil fuels for energy, deforestation, and industrial processes.  

The consequences of global warming are far-reaching and include rising sea levels, extreme weather events, ocean acidification, and biodiversity loss. These impacts are already being felt worldwide, with vulnerable communities disproportionately affected. Continued global warming could lead to irreversible changes to our planet and its ecosystems.  

The series "Years of Living Dangerously" provides a compelling example of the real-world consequences of climate change. Through interviews with scientists, policymakers, and affected communities, the series highlights the d/////evastating impacts of extreme weather events, such as droughts, floods, and heatwaves.

Addressing global warming requires a concerted effort from individuals, governments, and businesses. Individuals can reduce their carbon footprint by adopting energy-efficient practices, reducing consumption, and supporting renewable energy sources. Governments must implement policies to phase out fossil fuels and invest in clean energy infrastructure. Businesses should also adopt sustainable practices and reduce their environmental impact. By working together, we can mitigate the effects of global warming and create a more sustainable future for generations to come.

MM Review: Why has Global Warming Happenned?

Releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere

CO2 carbon dioxide / CH4 methane)

From the Burning of  Fossil Fuels: Coal, Oil, Gas

By Transportation, Industrialization, Agriculture, energy production, deforestation, wildfires, etc;

Greenhouse Effect: These gases trap heat from the sun, causing temperatures to rise.

 

Development I: Which consequences

Climate Change:

Melting glaciers, rising sea levels, extreme weather events (e.g., hurricanes, droughts).

Biodiversity Loss:

Disruption of ecosystems, extinction of species.

Economic Impacts:

Damage to infrastructure, agriculture, and tourism.

Health Risks:

Heat-related illnesses, respiratory problems.

 

Development II: Examples in Media

Movie/Series:

Interstellar, The Day After Tomorrow

Depiction: These films showcase the devastating consequences of climate change, often linked to human activities and the overuse of fossil fuels.

 

Conclusion: How to deal – Intervetion Proposal

Individual Actions: Reduce carbon footprint (e.g., energy-efficient appliances, sustainable transportation, responsible consumption).

Institutional Measures: Invest in renewable energy sources (e.g., solar, wind), implement carbon taxes, promote sustainable practices in industries.

International Cooperation: Develop global agreements to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, support climate adaptation efforts.
