Global warming is one of the most serious issues that the world is facing today. What are the causes of global warming and what measures can governments and individuals take to tackle the issue?

adversity and the measures that governments and people can take to fight

issue.

Firstly

, we need to understand the causes of global warming. Only

then

we will be able to control it. To mention a few points, one of the biggest factors is Air

pollution

. The late 20th century has observed a sharp increase in industrialisation and the direct negative impact of

the harmful Ultra violet rays of the sun to penetrate the atmosphere and leads to sharp and rapid changes in the climate. In the United States, the burning of fossil fuels to make electricity is the largest source of heat-trapping

pollution

, producing about two billion tons of CO2 every year. Coal burning power plants are

also

major contributors. Once we identify the causes of

this

problem, we can take measures to reduce it. The governments and media all over the

world

have a huge role in raising awareness and educating people about the ill-effects of global warming. We should resort to Reduce-Reuse-Recycle policy. As individuals, we can reduce our needs to buy new products as a means to reduce waste production and consider using eco-friendly products. The governments should promote recycling papers which means, decrease in the number of trees chopped down. People should be

and reuse bottles, plastic containers and cups, rather than just throwing them away after one use. Incentives and discounts given by government agencies and

more affordable for people. We can all put in our share of effort by doing a simple act of planting more trees. In conclusion, global warming poses a serious threat to the

world

's environment and the future. Changing lifestyles, industrialisation, deforestation, over population,

and mining have acted as catalysts in the raising the levels of CO2, methane and other

should be encouraged. We should be more careful and save
