Recycling Around the World

Global Warming

    With the developed technologies today, we all are able to get a bunch of benefits. Finding convenience becomes common for every people in this world. To go somewhere, all we have to is simply riding and driving our personal cars or other kinds of transportations such as bicycle and airplane. These advanced technologies are absolutely helpful for making our lives better; however, they also have some problems. As the population and economy greatly increased in the last few decades, the rate of new vehicle ownership has far outpaced population growth. This brings serious air pollutions in atmosphere. This change adversely affects the environment because of emitting carbon dioxide, one of most hazardous environmental pollutants. Air pollution is main cause of global warming today. The Earth as an ecosystem is changing, attributable in great part to the effects of globalization and man. More carbon dioxide is now in the atmosphere than has been in the past 650,000 years. This carbon stays in the atmosphere, acts like a warm blanket, and holds in the heat — hence the name, “global warming”. The reason we exist on this planet is because the earth naturally traps just enough heat in the atmosphere to keep the temperature within a very narrow range - this creates the conditions that give us breathable air, clean water, and the weather we depend on to survive. Human beings have begun to tip that balance. We've overloaded the atmosphere with heat-trapping gasses from our cars and factories and power plants. If we don't start fixing the problem now, we’re in for devastating changes to our environment. We will experience extreme temperatures, rises in sea levels, and storms of unimaginable destructive fury. Recently, alarming events that are consistent with scientific predictions about the effects of climate change have become more and more commonplace. There are three most important problems that we have to notice and prevent: Environmental destruction,...
