pressing issue. There are four main causes for the current global warming problem. One is the burning of fossil

fuels

. When people burn fossil

fuels

like coal and oil to generate electricity and power for vehicles, it releases

carbon

dioxide into the atmosphere, which in turn pollutes the atmosphere.

Carbon

fuels

such

as petroleum and diesel release particles that are not only dangerous to plants and animals but

also

to the environment by causing global warming. Another factor that contributes to global warming is deforestation. Forests and

method employed by farmers.

This

practice leads to air pollution and haze

as well as

global warming. The third cause is cattle farming, where animals,

such

as sheep and cattle produce methane, a greenhouse gas. Another factor is the fertilisers that farmers use, which

also

release nitrous oxide, another greenhouse gas. One practical solution to

this

problem is that

governments

could introduce policies and regulations on renewable energy

such

as solar and wind. If

this

were done, power plants would be required to use solar energy to produce electricity, which would help reduce global warming. Meanwhile, the

governments

could encourage car users to opt to purchase electrical vehicles that produce zero emissions, which would help improve air quality in urban areas.

Also

, politicians should pass a bill in parliament to stop excessive tree clearing.

Moreover

, non-governmental organisations could launch a “Plant

” campaign to create awareness among communities on ways to slow down climate change. Farmers could

also

use alternative stock feed to reduce methane gas emissions which trap heat in the atmosphere.

Subsequently

print. In conclusion, global warming is caused by burning fossil

fuels

, deforestation and agricultural activities. It is the responsibility of both

governments

and individuals to mitigate global warming.

should enforce strict policies and regulations
