As the world’s largest emitters of carbon converge this week to discuss the future of our planet in the wake of temperature change everyone else is one the edge of their seats hoping for the best. For the greater part global warming is a mysterious phenomenon that is disputed by a lot more people than those who believe in it. But to be on the safe side it is only to our benefit to try to curb global warming.
Carbon emissions by industrialized nations must be cut down significantly in the next 10 years if we are going to survive the soaring temperatures that re predicted for the next 100 years. It won’t help getting a full face helmet to protect yourself from the heat when you could easily cut down our dependency on fossil fuels to meet our energy requirements. But not doing so on time will see us burn to death or move to another planet.
When the world begins to warm up there are people who will think of getting skin care treatment to protect their skin from the heat. But in actual fact we must be investing in alternative sources of energy. Power can be generated from water when hydro-electric power is tapped and from the wind if wind turbines are used. These sources are clean and they don’t pollute the atmosphere.
Painting roofs white was suggested by a group of scientists concerned about the future of our planet. They suggested this on the basis of white being able to reflect excess planetary heat into the universe. Instead of heating up the world can actually cool down if the above measures are implemented in tandem.
Cars that use electricity and water must be manufactured as a replacement for cars that run on fuel. Considering the large number of cars in this world the effect of this will be great indeed. But if we continue to use motor fuel to power cars global warming will continue unabated.
Planting more trees and reducing deforestation is a way of reducing the levels of carbon in the universe. Plants actually absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to use it in the process of making its own food. The by product of this process is the oxygen we need to breathe. So if we preserve our rainforests and plant more trees we will actually do our world more good than harm.
Global warming is a scary reality that we must all learn to accept instead of visiting a facial spa to cleanse skin that will melt away regardless. We must all put effort towards curbing global warming otherwise our beautiful planet will self-destruct.
