What is global warming? The rise in the temperature of the Earth's atmosphere is known as global warming. It is also known as Greenhouse effect.
According to me global warming is not a myth as the temperature is increasing. The summers are becoming longer and warmer and winters are becoming shorter and colder than ever.
The main cause of this is increase in carbon dioxide. But how is this increasing to an extent that it is harming our environment? This is the result of the imbalance in ecology created by us. We are recklessly cutting trees, burning fossils fuels like wood and coal unwisely, driving more vehicles on the road. There are many such reasons for the increasing carbon dioxide in our environment. Many other gases contribute to global warming. These are nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas; chlorofluorocarbons used as propellants; methane used as cooking gas. All these gases are collectively known as greenhouse gases.
There is an urgent need to protect our environment. If we don't, then very soon the environment will not suitable for life. Some simple ways by which we can protect our environment are:
-Taking public transport whenever possible, rather than using private cars.
-Using alternative fuels rather than fossil fuels, in vehicles.
-Solar power, which is usually generated by solar panels or a solar tower.
-Wind power, which is usually generated by groups of wind turbines.
-Biomass energy, which is derived from urban wood waste, forest and agricultural residues and other feed stocks as well as waste from factories and landfills.
