Reducing Hazardous Effects of Global Warming

APART from international moots, climate change can also be handled at the local level. The administration here can reduce the hazardous effects of global warming by taking some strong measures.

However, this initiative was first discussed in the United Nations conference on climate change in Rio de Janeiro in June 1992. Following this dialogue, many of the states have been successful in reducing green-house gas emissions, such as Iceland and the states of Wisconsin and Hampshire in the US. These states had not only called big industrialists but also local energy consumers for the reduction in emissions. They did not enact environmental laws, but brought social and economical awareness in the masses. They emphasized on the usage of renewable energy rather than fossil fuels.

Indeed, these fossil fuels are the bone of contention of international politics because almost all developing as well as developed countries consume these fuels as raw material for generating energy. That is why climate sceptics have termed fossil fuels as the economy of the globe.

Similarly, the above-mentioned states have stimulated their economy, besides improving the quality of the environment. The improved economy has opened the doors of progress for them and diminished their social and economical problems. However, they have been able to save a billion dollars which they might have spent on fossil fuels.

On the other hand, they export their oils and invest money on developmental projects which is the main source of providing people with employment.

Environmentalists are envisaging to develop some sort of technology which can break up water into its constituents — oxygen and hydrogen —   because they want to make energy from hydrogen. This energy can save them up to a billion dollars and make their environment clean.

But, unfortunately, hydrogen gas is extremely dangerous to store and requires high pressure. To break water, we need fossil fuel which is not a feasible...
