What Can Be Done to Stop Global Warming?

There are many things that can be done to prevent global warming. Because global warming is caused by fossil fuels releasing carbon dioxide into the environment, the problem can be easily prevented by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide we produce through burning fossil fuels. The gasoline we use to fuel our automobiles is a fossil fuel that emits a great amount of carbon dioxide into the environment. A simple and obvious solution would be to find an alternate fuel source that is not a fossil fuel or to just cut down on the amount we drive our cars and to walk, carpool, or use public transportation services instead. Using electric cars would not be a smart solution since burning coal does just as much damage as burning gasoline because they are both fossil fuels that produce carbon dioxide. Using a renewable environment friendly resource to fuel cars would greatly decrease the occurrence of global warming. Coal-fired power plants are the largest single source of carbon pollution and they do not have any federal limits on the way they work. To slow down global warming, laws are in the works of holding the large power plants accountable for all the damage that they have done. These power plants have released mass amounts of carbon dioxide into the air for decades and it is finally just coming to an end. A lot of states have teamed up in order to raise money to fund organizations that will help create clean energy programs. The risk of global warming is increasing at a faster rate more now than ever. The ozone layer surrounding our precious planet is already thin, and that can’t be repaired. If we don’t stop now, the ozone layer will soon be gone because there is not a lot left. The issue of global warming is something a lot of people do not want to accept but it is time to stop burying our head in the sand because it is time to face the inevitable truth.

What are the Potential Consequences of Global Warming?

Arctic animals will begin to suffer and struggle to find usable habitat as the ice caps melt

Some people have a hard time contemplating the realistic consequences of global warming. It is not often understood of the enormously detrimental results that could emerge due to the earth's global climate change.

As the polar ice caps melt, the sea level rises and the water expands as the temperature rises. Some animals are dependent on their arctic habitats and will struggle to thrive. As the sea level rises, flooding risks and water pollution increase. Devastating heat waves can cause serious health issues, even death.
As the temperature of the ocean rises, the probability and frequency of violent hurricanes also rises.
