Topic: What are the potential effects of global warming in terms of climate change and how can they be arrested?

Global warming is a process which was actually necessary as it tends to keep the earth warm and comfortable for humans to live in. As the sun projects its radiation towards earth, the light passes through the atmosphere and some is radiated back into space in the form of infra red. The rest of the infra red is trapped by the atmosphere which keeps the earth warm at an appropriate temperature. However, as the atmosphere thickens, more of the infra red is trapped inside making earth warmer and warmer. The gases that are responsible for thickening the atmosphere are the green house gases that are produce by human activities. The question is, what are the potential effects of global warming on climate and how can they be stop?

Global warming creates impact on the strength and occurrence of hurricanes and storms. Ocean temperature that increases intensifies the power of hurricane to a deadly nature disaster. Japan and United States have recorded large number of death reports due to hurricane events. The science text book have had to be re-written because they say that it is impossible to have hurricane in south Atlantic, but the same year the first one ever hit brazil (Al-Gore 2006). As the water temperature goes increases, the wind velocity increases and the moisture content increases, making the hurricane stronger and stronger resulting to devastating effect (Al-Gore 2006).

Global warming also means more precipitation of water that come in a onetime storm. Evaporation of ocean moisture up and form clouds. Flood cases have been shown all around the world such as China and India. However, the warming does not only increase precipitation but also relocate it. High latitudes area and generally wet places will tend to receive more rainfall, while tropical regions and generally dry places will probably receive less rain. Darfur – Nigeria, they are having great difficulties as the drought take place for a period of time. Warming result in evaporation of ocean that makes more clouds but, it also sucks moisture from the soil making drought.

Global warming is also affecting the seasons. The warm temperature has shift the growing season in many parts of the globe. Spring is coming earlier, which signals the migrating animals to keep up with the seasons to follow food sources. Those animals that failed to keep up ended up facing extinction. Warmer temperature has also result an extend towards growing season, plants need more water to keep growing or they will dry out, increasing the risk of fires. Shorter winters have failed to kill insects and vectors. More and more infectious diseases are no longer under control due to the unexpected pattern of the seasons. And we had 30 so called new diseases that have emerged just in the last quarter century. (Al-Gore 2006)

To reduce global warming means to produce less carbon dioxide. Human beings are the one causing this catastrophic event to happen and so we are able to reduce it as well. More efficient electricity appliances, higher mileage cars, the use of renewable and a lot more possible means can be done to reduce and finally stop global warming. Research shows that we can even reach below 1970 carbon emission if we can together work towards energy efficiency.
