Global warming is one of the biggest threats to our environment. what causes global warming? what solutions are there to this problem?

Global warming has been described as one of the largest menace to our natural habitat. The effect of

this

phenomenon is certainly being felt in various ways across the different continents of the world.

This

essay will discuss two main causes of global warming,

such

as increased air pollution and deforestation, as well as

practical solutions which includes encouraging the use of transit buses as a means of reducing contamination levels and reforestation. The release of harmful substances into our surrounding and removal of trees and vegetation from our ecosystem are major causes of the increase in the earth’s temperature. Increase in population growth and mass migration to urban areas have led to the removal of trees in other to create room for people to inhabit.

In addition

, more people own cars with internal combustion engines that depend on fossil fuel to run.

For example

, in Nigeria, only <1% of the population use electric or hybrid cars. The remaining 99% drive cars than run on gasoline or depend on diesel engine buses as a means of transportation. The end result is the massive collation of Carbon IV Oxide in the atmosphere, which in turn traps heat and causes climate change. One way to remedy

this

threat is for governments to enforce reforestation policies. Trees play a vital role in balancing the ecosystem by absorbing Carbon IV Oxide from the atmosphere into Oxygen.

For example

, policies

such

as remove a tree and plant two as a replacement is already in effect in certain areas of the United States of America. Alternatively, governments should provide mass transit buses that are not solely dependent on carbon-based fuels to help lower the individual car usage rate, thereby reducing air pollution.
