Global warming or global Greening? Choose wisely

Climate change is the single biggest environmental and humanitarian crisis of our time. The Earth's atmosphere is overloaded with heat-trapping carbon dioxide, which threatens large-scale disruptions in climate with disastrous consequences. We must act now to spur the adoption of cleaner energy sources at home and abroad.

Global warming is the increase of the average temperature of the earth’s atmosphere. Especially a constant increase that causes climatic changes. The effects of global warming are far greater than just increasing temperatures. . Global Warming modifies rainfall patterns, amplifies coastal erosion, , melts ice caps and alters the ranges of some infectious diseases. Some of these changes are already occurring. Global warming can be caused by many factors .Carbon emissions by humans, deforestation is the most important causes of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Few have been mentioned above. Thousands of acres of tropical rain forests are lost each year causing climate change. Experts predict that as the world eats ever more fossil fuel, greenhouse gas concentrations will continue to rise, and Earth’s average surface temperature will increase with them.. Some may be of natural causes, and some may be of man-made. Natural causes for global warming include the exploding sun spots which cause unbearable heat and the drastic rise in temperature . Cutting down pollution from car emissions and power plants will decrease the rate of global warming to a great extent. Varied technologies for use of alternative energy have already been developed. And, more technology is being developed regularly. We need to continue to make use of current alternative energy resources like wind power and solar power, and we can adopt new technologies as they are developed.

In this picture I have tried to show that even though the impact of global warming may not have been fully realized but we need to show maturity to understand  the impact and need to act for the benefit of all. Moon and water are symbol of coolness that we need to provide to earth..
