During the last decade, global climate changes have been an issue facing the world. For a period, the topic of many debates was whether or not the climate actually was changing, but now, science has evidence and proven that the climate certainly has been changing. The changes are primarily a result of the emissions of greenhouse gases, in particular carbon dioxide, and experts claim that a number of human activities are the reason for the emissions. The exact consequences of global warming are still unknown, but the question is no longer what will happen, the question is “How do we solve this problem?”
That having said, global warming is a problem we can solve. Scientists know more about the climate and the effect of greenhouse gases, than ever before, which makes it helpful in finding solutions. Leaders all over the world are discussing energy policies and making detailed plans of how the amount of greenhouse gases that is released every day, can get reduced. Scientists search for how the efficiency of energy consumption can be increased, and tools like wind power and solar panels are already at hand.
However, it is not only scientists that can solve this problem. We at Eckerd, together with the rest of the world’s population, can reduce the emission of carbon dioxide drastically, just by small changes in your
