The Effects of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on Global Warming

Abstract

This ineasing global temperature, caused by greenhouse gasses from human activity, is the greatest effect. The gases that are causing global warming mainly include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). Fossil fuel combustion, deforestation, and industrial processes account for most of the emissions of these greenhouse gases. But when they are concentrated in the atmosphere, however, these CO2 molecules absorb solar heat. As a result, global temperatures have been steadily rising until today the amount of will affect not only the environment but humanity as well. Floods on coast Bering Sea level rise caused by the melting polar ice caps and glaciers triggered coastal flooding. Extreme weather events inease in strength and kill infrastructure, lives. Habitats get disrupted, migration patterns are changed, even extinction risks inease. Biodiversity and the ecosphere pay a heavy price. In order to erase these impacts, we must work to cut emissions and develop alternative sources of energy, energy efficiency technology, and sustainable land use. Adaptive climate strategies and resilient infrastructure are needed to cope with future consequences. Only through collaboration between government, business and industry can reduction of emissions to reach zero, foster sustainable practices and change the way we live. If global warming can be rectified, then we can imagine a future in which cleaner-burning energy produces fuels and electricity, economic structures are robust against disturbances large and small. That would mean a sustainable, equitable world for generations to come.
