Prevent Global Warming

This is an essay about ways to stop/prevent global warming. Okay okay, I confess that the part about farting and it's effect in increasing the emission of CO2 is actually not valid information. I know for sure though that cow farts are leading contributers to global warming because they hold so much CO2, and decided that human farts can't be that different. If any one of you who views this essay happens to hold vast knowledge in science and can logically explain why my assumption is wrong, I will edit the part at once.


It is needless to point out global warming as a serious, world-threatening issue. Due to greenhouse gases emmited by humans over the past 50 years, global surface temperature has increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) during the last century. It is predicted that the temperature will continue to rise in the future, causing various phenomenons such as rise of sea levels, change in the amount of precipitation, expansion of sub tropical rainforests, and so on. All of these are certainly not things to welcome; we must conceive the significance of global warming and try our best to prevent it. In this essay I will introduce various efforts to prevent Global warming, both personal and national.

Some personal efforts to combat global warming can be exemplified as planting trees, using public transportation, and curtailing the comsumption of carbonated drinks. As for planting trees, the main cause of global warming is the world-wide emission of Carbon Dioxide, and it is clarified that trees convert CO2 into oxygen. Using public transportation means personal automobiles will be less used, ultimately resulting in the reduction of CO2 as well. Now for reducing the comsumption of fizzy drinks, it is proved through various researches done by scientists that human farts contain CO2. Drinking these drinks will cause humans to fart, and if many people do this simultaneously,.... well, you get the picture. Carbonated drinks may be tasty, but they are not helpful in preventing global warming.

There are also notable national efforts to stop global warming, and suitable examples would be the Kyoto Protocol and Geoengineering. The Kyoto Protocol is the world's primary international agreement on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and currently covers more than 160 countries and over 55 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. The treaty expires in 2012, and international talks have begun on a future treaty to succeed the current one. Geoengineering means changing the Earths environment on a large scale to suit human needs, such as "carbon dioxide air capture". Although no large scale geoengineering projects have been made yet, it is considered an innovative move to prevent global warming.

As you can see from above there are many ways to stop global warming from proceeding such as planting trees, the Kyoto Protocol, and even reducing the consumption of fizzy drinks. Humans must quickily realize that global warming is now a life threatening reality, and put efforts to implement the methods suggested at all costs.
