In this essay, I will be discussing the following issue: "It`s not worth combatting Global Warming, we should learn to live with it". I disagree with that vision, I am against it because I think that the world can be educated with the purpose of changing the people`s lifestyles in order to find a solution for this problem and stop with it, also for have green life, that means, a clean world, otherwise in an unknown future we won`t be able to live. I am writing about this topic, because it is a relevant problem that we have around the world that is affecting our lives. I will examine and give supportive opinions my view and another one from an opposite view.
First, what causes global warming is carbon dioxide and other types of air pollution, trapping the sun`s heat and that cause the planet`s warm up. An example of this is that, coal-burning power plants in United States, are the largest source of CO2 pollution, about 2.5 billion tons a year. But there are solutions like to put to use modernize power plants that generate own electricity from clean and nonpolluting sources, among others according to Natural Resources Defense Council(www.nrdc.org).
Another important thing to know is that the Earth is getting hotter, in 2003 extreme heat waves caused about 20.000 deaths in Europe and also 1.500 in India. What scientists say is that those events are "alarming sign of events to come". Since the 50`s in parts of the Cascade Range in Oregon and Washington, is declining the snow accumulation and winter seasons have shortened. In the Arctic, the polar ice cap, declines a 9 percent in ten years. this facts are only examples of the horror that cause the global warming that can be changed if we set limits on global warming pollution, invest in green jobs and clean, drive smarter cars, like electric ones and breaking our oil addiction, create green homes and buildings, making building more energy efficient and build better communities and transportation. All this information is on the same website (www.nrdc.org).
On the other hand, we know that the humans emit greenhouse gases(GHGs) every day, there are many, responsible of global warming and it is inevitable to stop it because we need to make the things that provoke greenhouse gases diary. Examples of this are, the combustion of fossil fuels in cars, the power plants, the factories, electricity production. The gas responsible is carbon dioxide, but there are more, like nitrous oxide, methane that are very common too, the last one can be find it in the area of agriculture and it cause 20 times the warming that cause CO2.
In conclusion, I can say that it`s worth combatting global warming, because there are many ways to live with it and for finding new solutions to the problem, the world have to put on a new lifestyle for improving their lives and believe in themselves that they can stop the pollution and this problem in the world.
