Global Warming : Second Edition ..::Kompetisi Website Kompas MuDA - IM3::..

Firstly, we’ll talk about the definition of global warming. What does global warming mean?

Global warming is the increase in the average measured temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century, and its projected continuation..
And based on nearly every scientific projection, it's only going to get warmer. The question is how warm?

If temperature increases are kept to 1 to 2 degrees, it is manageable. But if warming increases to 5 to 9 degrees or even more, the effects on our planet will be catastrophic. We must begin to take certain steps now.
So, for this case, what’s the exact causes? Among other effect of greenhouse gases. Carbon dioxide, the most plentiful of the greenhouse gases, is produced by power plants, cars, manufacturing, and residential and commercial buildings. And here is the key: Carbon dioxide doesn't dissipate. It stays in the atmosphere for five decades or more, causing Earth's temperature to rise.

The important one, The Earth has already warmed 1 degree in the past century and we're seeing the dramatic effects, likes, glaciers are melting, heat waves, droughts, hurricanes, floods, mass species extinctions and the increase of disease vectors.

So the points of this topic are, if we’re refuse to act, or act too slowly, and humans will have caused the most sudden temperature shift in the history of the planet. But, if we act soon and decisively, global warming can be limited to 1 to 2 degrees. This, I contend, should be our goal. We should be leading the change. Now, it’s time to act Be energy conscious. Bring pressure on your utility, your government, and commit yourself and your family to reduce energy consumption, Don't shift the burden to the next generation, The choice is clear. It is time to stop talking and to begin acting. Let’s lead our life head to the best future.

SAVE OUR EARTH!
