Global Warming

we are generated by our skill and wisdom against great nature and we have accomplished a brilliant culture and civilization as a master of nature by using nature or conquering nature. Our civilization has developed rapidly since industry revolution by power of science. We live in high technology area and we have faced inevitable environment pollution. Especially, global warming is serious problem that is not able to discover solution alone. We can see the strange disasters such as repeated heat waves, massive drought, flood, hurricane since 1988. I want to say about reducing air pollution and cooperation of nations for solving a global warming problem.


First, we have to reduce air pollution. According to this article, “Is it too late to stop the warming?” Scientists like Hansen and Emanuel believe that our burning of oil and coal make exhaust emission such as carbon dioxide that traps the sun’s heat in the atmosphere. The emission of carbon dioxide has increased rapidly since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Carbon dioxide make not only air pollution but also food pollution. Furthermore, the carbon escaping into the atmosphere would cause more greenhouse warming that make disaster that man made such as strange storm, violent hurricane, drought. There is nothing free in the world. It’s a trade off! We live in convenience by skill, but we have to pay wisdom to general value such as peace in the world. So, We have to reduce carbon dioxide by using bicycle, planting tree, doing recycling in daily life and have to discover alternative clean energy.


Second, we have to support scientist to study “global warming” for ourselves.
According the this article, “Air trends amplifying warming,” the author says “between 1950s and 1980s, the amount of solar energy penetrating through the atmosphere to the Earth’s surface appeared to be declining, by about 2% per decade…” as we called “global dimming” But some scientist points that Reduced air pollution and increased water evaporation stimulate to man-made global warming. “global brightening” is adding to the impact of human greenhouse emissions since 1980, because most country try to reduce air pollution in atmosphere. Even though we try reducing air pollution, why does global warming still continue on? In order to solve global warming, scientists try to do experimental investigation in ocean and tropic area and developing country. It needs cooperative works to get information through computer from nature’s movement for human being.

In conclusion, it seems difficult to control this problem because of our desire of convenience and lacking of knowing nature. The common people have to restrain pollution material to air and scientists study more in environmental fields and nations have to be cooperative for protecting the earth as being one.
