Global warming is one of the most important issues of recent years. Global warming is generally caused by the carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. Technological developments that people have made in recent years have an effect on this too. If we do not reduce global warming in general, many natural beauties, animal species, and many ecosystems in the world would be lost so that we must take action and reduce global warming before it is too late.
In recent years, especially due to the increase in carbon emissions, global warming has increased considerably. Especially in the last 30 years, approximately 48% of the ice in the world has melted and many natural events have occurred in recent years, especially in 2020. Although there are many reasons for the increase in global warming, the biggest reasons such as transportation, cutting trees, industrialization, and unnecessary consumption can be shown. Transportation, especially in crowded cities, is a major source of carbon dioxide in the world. In such countries, they mostly use public transport to reduce this rate. But public transport may be helpful it does not solve the problem completely because still they emit carbon dioxide. And in recent years we cut so many trees. For example in Turkey 115 million m3 of wood has been cut down in the last 5 years. And cutting trees are leading to
erosion around the world. Because of industrialization, we emit a large number of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. And because of the global warming in recent years, there is so many forests that burned. For example in 2022; 926 forests has been burned in European Union countries, but in between 2006-2021 there were an average of 526 wildfires per year. It is nearly twice as it was.
So Global warming has a huge impact on us. But I think we can stop or at least reduce the global warming effects. As I mentioned for transportation if we use public transportation or if it is possible doing cycling is the best way I think. Because cycling has nearly zero negative effects on the environment. And in industrialization, factories may use better filters and shut down some factories so that we can prevent greenhouse gasses to go higher. For example, if we reduce unnecessary consumption in the world we can reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. Because there would be no request for things that which made in such factories. And if we reduce unnecessary consumption we could cut down fewer trees and we can plant more trees for this reason.
In conclusion, if we reduce our greenhouse gas emissions or plant more trees or even reduce our consumption we can reduce the effects of the global warming.
