Most of the people are underestimating the threat of global warming and telling that it’s overrated. That issue has never been a simple thing; it’s threatening the whole planet that we live in. We need, and we have to stand against that!

Introduction & Update

If we don’t start to change things from now for the sake of our future, that future won’t be coming at all. We already have got a planet that meets with all the requirements of life. If we keep searching for a new world, we won’t have enough time to find it. We have to create that time so that we can search for the new one.

Change The Understanding

That problem does not belong to any community, people, or religion. That’s a global phenomenon and issue that interests all of us. All countries and authorities should move together and put to work in together. We don’t have another option or chance, and we are currently at the threshold of the breakpoint that’ll define the rest of the future.

We Should Do These

First things first; Education

Even in this topic, although it sounds unrelated, that’s definitely the most permanent and essential solution to climate change. But… Why?

If we talk about that global phenomenon as often as we need in classes, we’ll take a massive step in the path of solution. There should be lectures provided by people who know about this topic. So, students can get that consciousness from the lower ages.

I’ve touched that point before in a perspective of “pros & cons” in my article named “The Biggest Threat In Front Of Humanity.” You may want to read that article as well. Other than that, better education is the best way of creating awareness.

Planting Trees?

Of course, planting trees is a crucial action that we have to take. But meanwhile, we need to protect our trees as well. The forest fires have gone crazy, especially this year, as we have noticed via media.

The trend that shows the forest fires above clearly warns us about the current situation, and it’s scary as hell. It’s not just about the fires, that fires increases the world’s average temperature because of the jump in carbon emission.

Besides, planting trees won’t give us results as quickly as we may think, but it’ll provide us considerable benefits in the future. So, we have to be consistent and patient about that proposal.

Air Pollution

As stated in UCSUSA’s article (2009, para. 16), air pollution that’s caused by our daily actions has a direct effect on global warming.

Global warming is primarily caused by emissions of too much carbon dioxide (CO2) and other heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere when we burn fossil fuels to generate electricity, drive our cars, and power our lives.

We can mainly prevent air pollution by using proper filters that hold the CO2. Also, most of the things that use fossil fuels are shifting into ones that use electricity purely. In the future, that’ll also help us.

Conclusion

We should not be spending our full effort in searching for a new planet; we also need to be focused on our world.

The world’s average temperature keeps increasing; humankind needs to collaborate and take action together before it goes crazy.

Solution Proposals For The Climate Change

Providing better and much more equipped education will definitely save the future. Because of that, we can create awareness all over the world’s future generations.

Although some people are quite insistent that trees won’t save us from climate change, that’s an entirely wrong idea. It’s a long term game, but it has short term outcomes as well. Don’t believe me? Read this article written by Joseph Coppolino (2014, May 25).

The use of filters in flues also helps us to slow down global warming. We all should be using and warning people about that.
