Global warming has become a big issue for governments and people because of the huge effects that may destroy our planet through changing the climate. The causes of global warming are numerous and day by day the scientists discover that it’s true , that we will face the reality of being threatened by these changes and we must act against it. For some, the work requires actual physical courage, a risk to life and limb in icy wastes or on the high seas (www.geocities.com). This essay will focus on the causes of global warming and the possible solutions which may reduce it.

First we should know that there are many reasons for global warming. Global warming is an increase of the temperature of the earth’s atmosphere which leads to make a huge climate changes. For example, melting of icecaps and glaciers (ice sheets), temperature rising. Several current trends clearly demonstrate that global warming is directly impacting on; rising sea levels, the melting of icecaps, and significant worldwide climatic changes (www.aip.org). First, the ice is melting and it leads to higher sea level, above the norm, which leads to flooded areas. Second, the temperature is rising because of emission from the factories around the world. A final factor is the weather changes. There are many changes in the world temperature causing drought and other problems.

Turing to solutions, there are many answers for global warming which can reduce the effect and damage. First is to read and learn about the environment. The world is making things that will affect our environment. Second, is that to save some electricity by reducing the use of machines. Finally is to stop using cars and start using bikes and walk when you can. . Governments should take their environmental issues seriously and implement policies to protect the environment from industrial monsters that emit poisons into our air and waste into our water. They should join environmental protocols and try to stick to their policies.

To sum, our planet is warming, and we as individuals and governments are helping make it happen. Everyone should do his role to protect our earth and ensure our future. In my opinion the most effective way to save our planet is to act immediately and start with ourselves and try to force our governments to act also.
