Global Warming

Nowadays, with our economic level increased, the environmental pollution has become worse and worse. Today our planet's weather and climate patterns are changing rapidly. And it has let the ecosystem to change a lot; there are droughts, extreme storms, and a rise in ocean temperature and sea level. Scientific research has revealed that the Pacific waters have disrupted the ecosystem in a number of ways: there is less fish, more dead birds on the beaches, and much less plankton. Why? The big reason is the temperatures in the Pacific Coast have become warmer and warmer. Now global warming is a serious problem that we face, and air pollution may create global warming. However, human activities are a significant contributing cause. Human activities cause the air pollution and the Pacific Coast change a lot.

Metal production factories, plastic factories, and other heavy industry discharge the dirty air without any filter equipment; this waste air must be harmful substances, and it contaminates the atmosphere. Automobiles burn gasoline and discharge the waste gas, and pollute our fresh air. Then we breathe the air. It is harmful for our health because there are some poisonous gases in the air. Moreover, if there is an accident, it must produce some smog; it poisons our air.

Here are some other approaches to pollute our air. Burning trees and plastic can make a kind of poisonous gas. And some people throw the rubbish anywhere. This behavior contaminates our air. The biggest air pollution is when some factories exploded. This will put a lot of chemical air into the atmosphere. It will produce some poisonous gas. It will affect the distribution of the molecules in the air.

There is some indoor air pollution; it will discharge gas when we are cooking, smoking tobacco, or using some furniture with chemical substance. These mix in the air and the air becomes poisonous. The molecule distribution in the air changes rapidly. This is one reason that leads to global warming.

Some people think that the more factories we have, the more strong economic we have, but they are wrong. The environment around us is more important than anything else. If we don’t have a good environment, we breath the poisonous air every day; our health will get worse and worse. Also, as we have learned, the sea level has risen every year, this is caused by global warming; therefore, we should do something that we can do to curb the global warming. We should maintain the balance of nature, or we will get the punishment from the nature.

There are some solutions that can curb the global warming. We can use wind and solar power instead of coal-burning power. The less gasoline we burn, the less CO2 we put into the air. And if you have two cars, drive the one with better gas mileage whenever possible. We can walk or ride a bicycle instead of using cars. We should reduce discharge of polluted air from the factories. The factories should fix the filter machine to filter the harmful substances. We must try our best and do anything that we can do to protect our environment. The earth needs to breathe.
