Global Warming

The world is facing a new problem in the 21st century, a problem that cannot be encountered nor solved unless the countries worldwide come together and find a solution. This problem is called global warming, where the earth’s temperature is increasing dramatically due to the actions of human beings. This heat is caused by excess gas emissions into the atmosphere produced by the combustion of fuels and other processes.

Most countries worldwide are turning industrial, mainly because that is the best way to gain the highest amount of income. Industry needs a high amount of energy so it can succeed, and the easiest/cheapest way to gain that energy is to burn fuels. When these fuels are burnt, gas emissions get stuck in the atmosphere and affect the greenhouse process, where the heat gets trapped in the atmosphere instead of it being reflected away from the earth.

Current solutions are constructed by many organizations to stop global warming from increasing, including, new sources of energy and implementing laws that limit the use of fuels. Unfortunately, those rules will not work unless countries come together.
