Global warming is the increase of temperatures on the earth surface as a result of accumulation of green house gasses in the atmosphere. Research shows that there has been a serious increase of global warming in the last decades and if the rate of increasing continues as it is, we will not be able to reverse its effects in within the next seven years. In a nutshell,global warming is becoming an elephant in the room that is causing emense threat to everything within the Earth's surface. It is a serious environment trouble that needs a collective action in addressing it.

What are the causes of global warming.

Some of the causes of global warming are man-made activities such as industrialization. It has contributed to a humongous increase in the greenhouse gases within the atmosphere. The globe is undergoing a vast industrial revolution. This has resulted to the release of global warming gases into the atmosphere in large quantities. The high concentration of this gases in the atmosphere leads to formation of an invisible blanket in the atmosphere. This blanket allows the sun rays to penetrate into the earth surface but traps it when reflected back causing a chaotic heating on the earths surface.

 Other human activities causing global warming include ; use of ordinary light bulbs instead of led bulbs, improper disposal unused electrical appliances, deforestation, burning of wood and fossils and excessive use of automobiles.

Ways of preventing global warming.

There are multitudinous ways that needs to be effected with alot of soberness to save our planet from this menes. Firstly,we need to stop deforestation and embrace afforestation. Iw would like to echo the move by the government of Kenya of awarding every citizen who plants atleast 300 tress with a certificate. It is an idea which needs to be embraced by most countries if not all in the world if we want to expirience tremendous climatic turnaround within the globe.

We should also restrict the use of fossil fuels and seek an alternative renewable source of energy i.e use of solar panels as our source of energy. This will reduce the accumulation of carbon dioxide which is one of the global warming gases in the atmosphere. Gases from the industries should also be treated before being emited into the atmosphere we should also advocate the use led bulbs instead of the ordinary light bulbs. Our lifestyles should also be environment friendly and more responsible to our globe.
