Global warming has been a catastrophe to the survival of human beings and species in the world so that it becomes a challenge for humanity nowadays to protect our planet for future generations. I believe that there are 2 main causes and some appropriate solutions to

problem. Perhaps, the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is the major cause of global warming so that the average surface temperature continues to rise rapidly. It is said that human activities

as burning fossil fuels lead to carbon dioxide to be trapped in the world’s atmosphere.

For example

Furthermore

, illegal logging and a change in land function must be prevented because If there are many plants, both rural areas and cities, those plants can lower the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Overall, an excessive amount of greenhouse gas emissions and felling and burning of forests are the fundamental causes of world warming, whereas the consumption of alternative energy and reforestation are the best ways to solve
