Task 7 - A problem-solution report

There are many types of issues to be considered in our world today. One of the most existing issues is the topic of Global Warming. In the following report, I will be discussing the major causes of climate change. Then I will be examining some solutions to reduce this problem. Finally, I will present a vision of the future.

The Planet earth is fundamentally different from other planets in the solar system because of the atmosphere that surrounds it (Global warming basics 1). In other words, the atmosphere protects the living creatures to live on planet earth because of the shape and orientation of its orbit around the sun (Global Climate 1). What affect the atmosphere are the causes of pollutant emissions, like forest fires, volcanoes and industrial burning. The industrial affect is caused by humans, for example in burning fossil fuels, such as oil, coal or natural gases. These are not the only problems that could result in global warming. Another problem is the rising of the sea-level that is caused by the process of melting the Arctic ice cap. This results in a huge flood of the low lying coastal areas and cities (Lerner 2). Another issue of global warming is the increase of temperature by the forest fires that produces the increase of dioxide level. Therefore, small changes in temperature can create an enormous affect to the environment (Global Warming: Problems and Solutions 1).

There are many ways to reduce the affect of global warming on the environment. The basic thing to do is to educate the uneducated people about the affect that is caused from global warming. Many countries around the world don’t take any action on this issue; therefore starting a campaign is a great example for the uneducated people to understand the effects of global warming. Another way of reducing the effect of global warming is to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide. This can happen by taking the measurement of the carbon foot print and calculating the average and try to change the people's living life cycle. For example, people can use the public transportation or go walking instead of riding their cars everyday to work (shah 2). Another solution is that we could generalize the use of the existing technologies for building car cleaners and modernize electricity generators. This could happen by creating a new building system for cool cities (Lerner 2). For example, like Masdar city; it will encourage people in the future to live in it. By recycling and reducing the amount of electricity used at home, this could result in a supportive effect to the issue of global warming.

In my conclusion, I would like to say that making a small change in our daily lives can create a massive difference for our future. Everyone in this world should participate in working together and find the best and most effective solutions to overcome this global warming effect.
