I. Introduction

G
lobal warming is just warming up .it has barely started, and contrary to belief,
humanity has had some influence on the matter. I have seen lands that have
been turned from jungle into desserts by people in a matter of a couple of
years, because of the slash and burn method used by settlers and expanding agriculture
and I have seen rivers dry up because of deforestation in many places.

II. Content

There are natural cycles in this planets life. But a lot is influenced by mans
existence and this is increasing with overpopulation, putting strains on natural resources
and increasing contamination as well as destruction of essential components that
ensure living conditions for all life forms.

III. Reaction

In recent times, thousands of people have died because of excessive heat, usually
old people in India, Mexico and
France. Deforestation causing
desertification, the desert conditions
causing very cold nights and scorching
hot days. Also in China, thousand of
what used to be farmers are running
for their lives from the dust storms that
have buried their towns and turned
their lands into deserts. Instead of
producing food, they now need it from
somewhere else. It will drastically take
effect in the world food prices when they
start buying water in the form of grains
at any cost destabilizing governments.
 Aside from expanding deforestation of the Earths land resulting into deserts,
there is another problem regarding to global warming, the rising of the sea level. The
North Pole is melting and we will know it without ice in our lifetime. It results to
increase of sea level, thus after like 50-100 years, if the global warming still continues,
the whole world will be covered in sea water. No more lands to walk on through.

To help save our planet, we must do our own act. Get up altogether and do our
part. Like planting a tree every week. If everyone in the planet does this, we would be
able to reverse the destructive process. Some inventors are working on a special kind of
exhaust system for a car that reduces carbon emissions. Also by using alternative forms
of energy and
regulations on carbon
producing materials
like aerosols,
burning rubber,
industrial companies,
power plants and
etc.

Renewable
energy sources
such as solar, wind,
geothermal
and bioenergy
are available around the world. Multiple studies have shown that renewable energy has
the technical potential to meet the vast majority of our energy needs. Renewable
technologies can be deployed quickly, are increasingly cost-effective, and create jobs
while reducing pollution.

Another, energy efficiency technologies allow us to use less energy to get the
sameor higherlevel of production, service, and comfort. This approach has vast
potential to save both energy and money, and can be deployed quickly.

If all the countries of the worldfrom the most to the least developedvary
dramatically in their contributions to the problem of climate change and in their
responsibilities and capacities to confront it. A successful global compact on climate
change must include financial assistance from richer countries to poorer countries to
help make the transition to low-carbon development pathways and to help adapt to the
impacts of climate change.
