Effects of Modern Life on Global Warming
← Impacts of Oil Spills on Marine and Terrestrial Ecosystems | Water Pollution → |
INTRODUCTION
In modern age, a concentration of human activities has lead to a rise in gases responsible for trapping the suns heat and light in the atmosphere. These gases are known as green house gases which have an effect of causing a rise in the earth’s annual temperatures causing a greenhouse effect. This is what is known as global warming. Global warming is therefore the rise in atmospheric temperature caused by an increase in concentration of greenhouse gases resulting from modern human activities such as deforestation and fossil fuel combustion in air, water and land causing ice and snowcaps to melt, sea levels to rise and deserts to expand.
EFFECTS OF MODERN LIFE ON GLOBAL WARMING
Fair increases in global populations and technological advancements have contributed to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions. For instance, Carbon monoxide reality check in United States shows that a third comes from the use of cars, a third from industries and the last third from residential and agricultural related activities (UNCED 1992). Another major contributor, second after the United States is China, its recent economic boom has seen a rise in coal consumption and the use and sale of automobiles with a whooping 78 percent of car sales.
In other developing and emerging economies such as Indonesia, India, Brazil and South Africa, the use of fossil fuels for industrial and domestic use continue to rise because they tend to be cheaper than hydro, solar and wind energies and are used to produce electricity (NYT 2003). These are just but a few examples of a rise in global warming as both developed and developing countries strive up the ladder of industrialization. The growing desire to expand businesses and own private cars respectively leads to a growth in city sizes and traffic congestions, which with no regulations such as energy taxes set to control them pose environmental stress.
At the dawn of the reality of global warming in the early 90s, heads of states, environmentalists, international non governmental organizations have held conventions to discuss on the measures to help curb these changing patterns. At the UNCED 1992 convention held in Brazil, about 160 nations came together in a common agreement to help reduce global climate significantly by the year 2000 in a way that ensured no threat to food security and economic development. The Kyoto Protocol, held in Kyoto Japan, sought to further decrease green house gas emissions than earlier discussed by the year 2012. Developed economies such as the United States, The EU and Japan would cut down on their emissions by 8, 7 and 6 percent. Developing nations were also encouraged to try reducing their emissions in safe percentages too.
Individually, businesses are being encouraged to go green in an effort that sees them emitting lesser and lesser unfriendly gases. Global campaigns spread by the media encourage people to eat healthy and entrepreneurs to start up businesses that take care of the environment. This has led to a growing response to these campaigns evidently in the growth on environmental based courses in universities, lectures on environmental degradation, governments have gazetted natural habitats and involved their citizens in tree planting exercises in areas earlier deforested, this has led to an increasing plant cover shown by the increase in green patches in areas once thought deserts and unproductive.

I was trying to choose between EssaysEmpire.com and another online writing service and I didn’t know which one to pick. Then, I began to read reviews. I didn’t read even one thing negative about EssaysEmpire.com, and the other site was fraught with complaints. I went with EssaysEmpire.com, and it turned out that all the good things I had read about the service were true. My paper was fully guaranteed, but it was A-1 quality. The customer service people were great. The prices were right. Now, I am a devoted fan. When I need help with my writing, I go straight to EssaysEmpire.com! |

One of the things that I appreciate most about EssaysEmpire.com, is that they don’t resell your paper. Only you own it, if you hire them to write something. Other writing services that I have used, just circulate the same paper over and over, and if you get caught turning one in, too bad. You are expelled. EssaysEmpire.com will even give you a plagiarism report after they run it through their anti-plagiarism check. Such details set EssaysEmpire.com above the rest. |

I would like to say thanks to writer #48376 for doing such an astonishing job on my paper. I really gave him very little to go on. Still, he was able to do the research and come up with a champion paper for me. I am speechless. I didn’t expect anything nearly this good. |

I had a hard time articulating what my professor wanted, so I was able to speak straight to my writer. After I had explained a little bit, I could tell he understood everything. He then took the ball and ran with it, so to speak. He wrote my paper in two days and it was the picture of perfection! I am very grateful that he knew what to do and how to do it so perfectly. |
