Globalization Assignment 2 Now-a-days, because of human unwanted activities, world have to face many problems as well as environmental issues that directly or indirectly affect the environment as well as the eco-system such as because of excessive use of fuels, greenhouse gases, deforestation, industrial activities as well as agricultural activities etc. all are the root cause of environmental issue that is global warming ( contemporary global issue) and this is not just a one country issue, it belongs to whole global that means it is a global issue. My upcoming essay will indicate what make it to become a global concern, what international community did to address this issue as well as discuss some strategies and steps taken by them to rectify this concern. Independent teams of scientists did the research and from the measurement of their research they came to know that our planet is warming and there are many reasons behind why it is getting warm day-by- day. They conducted research by using weather stations on land, on ship and by satellite. From their reading, it was quite observed that it’s a global issue. This problem directly or indirectly affects humans. Its poses a great impact on humans lives as because of this they become victims of respiratory diseases, lungs problems, infectious diseases. (Gerretsen, 2019) It is proved by European Academies’ Science Advisory Council (EASAC) that extreme heat and temperature on the earth increases the chances of humans to suffer from infectious diseases. The reason behind why this issue is emerging at a rapid rate is all because of human activities. The term that we used to describe the situation that is earth is getting warm day by day at alarming rate is called greenhouse effect. The usage of fossil fuels and other natural resources, releases green house gases namely, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and water vapors etc. makes the earth atmosphere warm as these gases trap the heat in it. (What is climate change? A really simple guide, n.d.)Beside this, other human activities such as industrial; activities, agricultural activities directly or indirectly contribute towards making the earth warmer. So, this problem requires both global coordination as well as cooperation to rectify this problem as without cooperation and coordination, they will rectify the problem to some extend but will not solve it completely as it will only get solved when its root causes are solved. To address this issue, many strategies were used by scientists to completely understand its origin as well as methods to solve this problem. They Independent teams of scientists did the research and from the measurement of their research they came to know that our planet is warming and there are many reasons behind why it is getting warm day-by- day. They conducted research by using weather stations on land, on ship and by satellite. (Climate change: How do we know it is happening and caused by humans?, n.d.) To rectify this problem, scientists also did some experiment such as and concluded that this problem can be rectified when the following actions will be taken that are namely, using renewable resources as possible as and limiting the usage of fossil fuels that produces gases that traps heat it and warms earth. The solution to remove greenhouse gases that are present in the atmosphere should be taken. (Rincon, n.d.) Beside this, planting more and more trees will help to solve the problem of getting heated. The scientists from ETH-Zurich in Switzerland used a method called photointerpretation to examine the effect on the atmosphere when more and more trees are planted, and he concluded that planting trees as an effective solution to solve the global warming problem, but this requires both global coordination as well as cooperation. (McGrath, 2019) To conclude, Global warming is a contemporary global issue not only one country concern , it’s a global concern that need to be rectified within time as it is leaving devastating effect on the lives of people as well as on the planet itself as it is making the atmosphere more warmer that become the root cause for the infectious diseases, respiratory diseases among humans and they know directly or indirectly they are the reason behind the emergence as well as spread of this issue on the planet. As this problem is a global concern so this requires both global coordination as well as cooperation to limit its spread and to eliminate this problem from the planet.
