Introduction
The days of climate variability and natural disasters occurring in the world are extremely worrisome. Global warming is happening. Even if we stop producing greenhouse gases completely now. Because the world is like a large machine with a lot of small mechanisms, work together. The stimulus-response takes longer to return to a balanced state and, of course, The new balance will be different from the current situation. But we can also alleviate the serious consequences that may occur in the future that reduce the magnitude of the violence, the global warming may slow down. Lasted longer What we can do now is try to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We know that the problem is due to the extravagant process of using energy. Energy saving is one way to reduce the rate of global warming.
The global warming, as the term implies, is a global issue and cannot be tackled locally. Thus, international co-operation is the need of the hour if we are to curb and control this phenomenon. Global Warming has been a big issue that has effects on the environment, people, and the world, and if not stopped now, the results could be catastrophic. Man-made CO2 emissions must be reduced by at least 80% if we are to avert a global warming disaster. Global warming is real and important because the global warming is the problem right now that everyone in the world is facing, must help each other to reduce the problems, and mitigate global climate change.
Body Paragraphs
From disasters and variations. Human beings must be alert and investigate the cause of the event urgently. These phenomena are caused by global warming caused by the emission of toxic gases from industrial plants. The sun shines through the atmosphere to the Earth. Which is known by the so-called? "Greenhouse effect" based on data collected by experts and evidence analysis. I will conclude that. Greenhouse conditions are the conditions in which the Earth's atmosphere acts as a mirror. By allowing shortwave radiation to pass through the earth. But it absorbs the infrared rays that extend from the surface of the Earth. It then releases heat energy into the atmosphere and the earth's surface. Normally, the atmosphere acts as a mirror that covers the surface of the Earth to have a temperature equilibrium and is suitable for living on the surface of the Earth. But nowadays, some gases accumulate in the atmosphere more than the balance. These gases can absorb infrared rays, infrared rays, and exothermic heat. The Earth's surface and the atmosphere are higher which atmosphere is composed of ozone, water vapor, and various gases. It filters out some of the shortwave radiation that hits the surface of the Earth in moderation. The shortwave radiation that hits the Earth's surface is reflected back out of the atmosphere, and there is some rest on the Earth's surface. It then emits energy in the form of long-wave radiation, infrared waves spread to the atmosphere and spread out of the atmosphere to one. The world can maintain a temperature equilibrium. And the cycle of water, air and seasons is balanced. The world is like a large greenhouse with steam and gases in the atmosphere as a mirror frame that regulates temperature and cycles to balance.
Today, the atmosphere of the world has a certain amount of gas over the balance of nature. Because of human beings such as carbon monoxide (CO), methane (CH), chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), and nitrous oxide (NO), etc. These gases have special characteristics for absorption and emission. Infrared wavelengths are very good, so when the earth's surface exudes infrared radiation into the atmosphere. These gases absorb infrared radiation. Then it will release the heat accumulated on the surface of the Earth and the atmosphere increases. The surface temperature is higher because the gas causes this condition. It is called Greenhouse Gases. There are many types of greenhouse gases each species has its source. The details are as follows.
1) Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is both natural and human. Many human activities cause more carbon dioxide, such as combustion of industrial fuels. Especially the deforestation in Asia because the trees and forests are so good that they can absorb carbon dioxide before they float into the atmosphere. The amount of carbon dioxide that goes up in the atmosphere.
2) Methane (CH), the source of methane is both natural and human. By degrading the biomass of coal, oil and natural gas fuels. Also, combustion of fuels can also produce methane in the atmosphere at up to 20 percent of methane in the atmosphere (Kirsten, 2018). The agricultural area of rice in Asia and Oceania has been emitted by methane into the atmosphere. And different amounts in each area. Depending on the type and quality of soil in each area. Although the release of methane into the atmosphere is greater than that of carbon dioxide But methane is about 11 years old, which is less than carbon dioxide (Kirsten, 2018). It is a direct result. The effects of methane are less than that of carbon dioxide.
3) Nitrous oxide (N O), the industry uses nitric acid in the manufacturing process, such as the nylon fiber industry. Chemical industry or some plastic industry. It is the industry that produces nitrous oxide. Nitrous oxide is naturally occurring in normal conditions. But the increase in the volume. It is in a state of equilibrium in nature. Nitrous oxide generated by human activity. The rapid increase in volume has a direct impact on the global thermal energy accumulation. From the beginning of the industry to the present.
4) Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) from industrial plants and daily life utensils. Although this type of gas is reduced by 40 percent compared to ten years earlier (Kirsten, 2018). Followed by control measures. But the amount of chlorophyll fluoride gas is also accumulated in the atmosphere. It is caused by human activity. Still, it is the main cause of global warming on the surface. Also, this gas also causes harm to the atmosphere and organisms on the surface of the Earth. It can be chemically combined with ozone. The ozone depletion in the atmosphere or ozone hole. As a result, the harmful radiation that is passing through the earth is more intense. It also causes shortwave radiation to hit the surface of the earth that the excess of balance.
The new evidence confirms that global warming effects over the past 50 years are largely due to human activity. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2007) that consists of over 2,500 scientists from around the world. They reported currently, the world's atmosphere is carbon dioxide 3 trillion tons, and humans emit 26,000 million tons of carbon dioxide per year. In the 1970s, humans emitted only 15,000 million tons of carbon dioxide per year (The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2007). Carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. By human activities that release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. For example, industrial, buildings, office buildings, shopping centers, dwellings, transportation, etc. If this rate of carbon dioxide is still the same, it will affect the life on Earth.
The National Ice and Snow Center of the United States (2010) has released a survey of the North Pole by NASA's National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The ice in the Arctic Ocean melted faster than ever before. And the temperature was obviously higher. NASA's satellite data collection since 2002 has shown that the autumn melting-point ice melts abnormally fast in the Northern Siberia and Alaska (National Snow and Ice Data Center, 2010). In 2002, there was news around the world. When a massive ice sheet in the South Pole named Larsen-B, 200 meters thick, has an area of 3,250 square kilometers (National Snow and Ice Data Center, 2010). Many icebergs float down into the sea. And most of the water is dissolved within a few days. As a result in the future, the polar ice sheet will melt. The sea water is threatening the global coast.
In the 1890s, a Swedish scientist named Svante Arrhenius studied the effects of atmospheric carbon dioxide on the average surface temperature. In the case of halving the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere after thorough calculation for many years. He concluded that half the atmospheric carbon dioxide would cause the average surface temperature to be half that of the average surface temperature of 5 C (Svante, 1896). But Mr. Svante has more vision. He considered that the world was at the beginning of the industrial age. In the future, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere must increase, not decrease. It is due to the burning of coal and fuels and the resulting increase in global average temperature. This phenomenon is called the Greenhouse effect. The Greenhouse effect that is similar to the fact that we create outdoor greenhouses. Sunlight can pass into the greenhouse. But the heat can not drain out. The temperature inside the greenhouse increased. According to his calculations, if the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere at that time doubled, it would increase the average temperature of the Earth's surface. 6 C (Svante, 1896). Based on the utilization rate of coal as fuel. In the era where no source of crude oil and natural gas. This phenomenal phenomenon takes up to 2,000 years (Svante, 1896).
In the pre-industrial era, the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration was about 280 ppmv, which is a stable level. But by the end of 2004, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels had risen to 375 ppmv, or up to a third of pre-industrial values, and if the fuel burn rate (Ruddiman, 2003). The carbon dioxide is also present in the current use. Carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere are doubling, as Mr. Svante predicts will occur within 200 years, up to 10 times faster, and if combined with the accelerated growth of countries (Svante, 1896). It is based on economic growth or GDP include population increases. It will increase the concentration of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere three times higher than before the industrial age by 2100, or about 100 years from now, and if this phenomenon occurs (Ruddiman, 2003). The average temperature of the earth's surface is doubled.
The atmosphere is considered to be the most sensitive part of this ecosystem. Carl Sagan, one of the world's greatest scientists (1980) said: "If you apply a polishing agent to the globe. The thickness of the liquid layer is comparable to that of the atmosphere compared to the size of the Earth.” Today, the Earth's atmosphere is covered by too much greenhouse gases. Infrared radiation should be reflected out of the Earth. It is stored in the atmosphere. As a result, the surface of the world heating up.
All of information and evidence can tell us that global warming is damaging, effecting us all. As the world warms, it will cause many parts of the world to become drought, wildfire, including humans destroying the forest to seek more food replacing arid areas or lack of fertility make away with everyone. Making forests ever more absorbent of carbon dioxide and adding oxygen to the world or the lungs of the world. The wildfire increases, it burns out the forest and produces carbon dioxide. Increase in the atmosphere of the world. It is an endless circuit and also makes the ground dry. And may change to the desert as well.
As the world warms up, ice melts more and more, and less ice remains in winter. It will increase the average temperature in winter. The new iceless. It is possible that in the summer of 2030 there will be no ice in the North Pole (Rosen, 2017). The climate change will affect the ice in winter certainly. Normally, ice on the ground and in the ocean reflects 90% of solar energy back into space (Rosen, 2017). The ice will dissolve more, and the remaining ice will reflect less solar energy. As such, the temperature of the world will be higher. It is a cycle where ice melts continuously. The ice in the Arctic Ocean and Greenland dissolves more because of global warming, the salinity of the sea that concentrations have changed. The light seawater and floating at the surface keep the warm Atlantic currents warm to the northern hemisphere. And if such an event actually happens. The northern hemisphere will return to the ice age again.
When the world warms up, the evaporation rate of water on the soil and in the ocean increases. Water vapor in the atmosphere rises. This steam has the same properties as greenhouse gases that causes more global warming. All this affects the global climate. In some arid areas, it rains. Some areas that have ever rained drought, the river is dry. Change direction an unusual season to go around the world.
Reducing global warming is what everyone will need to do. All of us have contributed to this problem. Because we just breathe, it releases carbon dioxide. It does not include many activities we do every day. It's time we stop thinking that global warming is not our business. Then turn to cooperate to be part of the solution to the global warming.
If you think that reducing global warming. It is difficult to think that you alone can not save the world or do it now, it is nothing better. You're wrong! Everything we do will affect the world. And it still has time. If we do not start, we do not know where to start. Just change some of our behaviors in one day. It can help reduce global warming. I will give you 10 examples, I believe it is close to you.
1) Customize your Desktop Wallpaper as a wallpaper. The black is better. It will save more power as well as the Screen Saver to set it Blank will be a black screen. Turn off your computer when it's not in use, such as at lunch break and back home.
2) Carry a handkerchief instead of using tissue paper. Many people use it instead of a handkerchief. Because it's convenient and wrapped it is cute. But tissue paper is made from the tree. The more you use, the more you need to cut.
3) Charge the battery. Charge the battery of the people generally lose 95% of their energy, because they always plug in the battery despite the battery. You know that the battery is full, but if not removed, it will still eat the fire. When the battery is full, then remove the cable. If it still plugs into a transformer outlet, it still consumes electricity. So let's remove it.
4) Save water, do not use water. If there is a chance to change the faucet at home. Use a bubble to add air. The water comes out with air bubbles coming out with a lot of water. But it will save half the normal tap. If you do not know, you look the bathroom by the store. The water that flows out will be that way. And time to use water that is not home, we should save. Not think of free or time to stay in the hotel, do not think that it is worth it. Doing this, the world is hot.
5) Save power off unused appliances and unplug. Including the lamp. If there is a chance, replace the incandescent bulb as a CFL bulb. These tubes are more expensive. But it saves a lot of power, longer life. In the long run, it will definitely be worth it.
6) Reduce plastic bag. The plastic bags make us more convenient. But it is a great threat to the world.
7) Frozen food is now becoming more. And people are more popular as well. But do you know that the production process consumes a lot of energy? The box is plastic. Transport procedures must be kept in a cool place at all times. To the moment in the store. Even when eating, it also needs energy to warm up.
8) Use the bike when you go somewhere not far. You will be able to save money in the oil-rich era. It also allows you to exercise. Have good health as well.
9) Reduce the purchase of some waste.
10) I plant trees that all humans like nature. At times we have seen a place with a beautiful nature. Whether it is a jungle, lush green water, white beaches. We will feel comfortable and like it. So if you have time to help plant trees. Maybe at the front garden or where the area is planted there. In order to make the house look better. It will also reduce the toxic gas in the air as well.
I believe that 10 ways this example. There must be more than one that you can do. You do not have to do everything. But the more you do, the better. It will help you reduce global warming. How much depends on the responsibility of each person. And finally, I want to tell everyone that in this world there is no great success. But the small successes that come together. It can become a great success. So do not think that these little things we do not mean it.
Counter Perspective
Global warming is a reality. Everyone feels and sees the weather can be clearly seen for themselves. Summer is warming up and hotter winters. The ice sheet is melting. All types of storms are violent and frequent. But what if there were no such things as global warming? We have scientists who have comments based on their imagination. Many people say that the world is going through a change of climate just for a moment. And nothing to panic about the whole event. They say that everything we see will return to normal in the next few years, and everything will be as it used to be. However, for all the experts who talk about global warming, it is the misunderstanding. Other experts can be found to be true. The weather patterns that change from the melting of ice sheets and the intensity of natural disasters are irreversible. Global warming affects us more and more each day and if we do not do something about it. Our future in the world is in great danger. We neglect our dangerous global warming.
Public awareness and public attitudes towards the causes and significance of global warming have changed dramatically. Various scientific discoveries on the global warming phenomenon have made the public more aware of and aware of the global warming phenomenon. Extensive political and economic debate in Countries in poorer regions, especially Africa, appear to be at greater risk of being affected by global warming. They have very little greenhouse gas emissions compared to developed countries. At the same time, developing countries that have been excluded from implementing the Kyoto Protocol have been criticized by developed countries. Claimed to be part of the reason for not ratifying the Protocol on Climate Change in the West. The notion that humans play an important part in climate change is more widely accepted in Europe than in the West.
Conclusion Paragraphs
From the current events of this reason. "Global warming" is a warning sign of nature before the end of the world. The climate variability and disasters have intensified all the time in all regions of the world. Drought stress in North Africa European warming, heavy rains, heavy floods, hurricanes in America, bad weather in China, seasonal disorders in many parts of the world. In particular, the hurricane that destroyed the city of New Orleans in the United States ruined the entire city. It's a story that never happened before. My country was hit by the most severe floods in many years that is what we humans must watch out for and prepare themselves. It is a warning sign of nature sent to humanity before the end of the world.
The education and research are interesting and should be continued. The modern and new technology adapted to current world situation that it is the good things, such as the use of natural energy to be alternative energy that it replace the fuel energy in the combustion. The inventory and prevention will be a show to everyone feel the benefits that will occur in the future. Therefore, it is time for everyone to look the importance of the causes of the global warming that affects everyone on the planet. And everyone has to help each other to protect, reduce the problem, and mitigate global climates change.
Feedback Reflection
My paper now includes an idea for the audience by making a logical appeal, credibility appeal, emotional appeal. This feedback provided advice to think about how to capture the audience’s interest without focusing too much on their feelings. It also provided reminders to think about an author’s bias when citing sources and not to be afraid to change sources even in the middle stages of a project to get the most convincing evidence possible. It should help in building stronger arguments.
I should need to cite all my sources, and that means anything that is not considered common knowledge. Even when I know the topic of previous research, I need to locate new sources to back up my claims for this paper. And most importantly, I need to give my sources credit. Moving forward, I can work on adding a few more details in each paragraph. I develop my ideas such as to have a deeper discussion of what leads you to believe in my argument presented here. Do continue editing your paper and implementing APA formatting throughout. Overall, both editing and proper APA formatting it will help me improve the presentation of my work.
