Global warming is emerging as a great threat to human survival in the 21st Century and sea levels are continuing to rise at alarming rates. What problems are associated with this and suggest some solutions?

Over the decades, human responsibilities to ensure a healthy environment have declined. Currently, global warming is threatening human existence leading to the loss of

species

and more

health

risks

. The solutions to these problems are to encourage the

use

of renewable

energy

and reduction of non-renewable fuels The main effects associated with global warming are the extinction of natural

species

. Climate change poses

risks

to the survival of

species

on land and in the ocean. These

risks

increase as temperatures climb. Forest fires, extreme weather and the emergence of new diseases are among many threats. Some

species

may be able to relocate and survive, but others will not.

This

adversely causes scarcity of food since we depend on livestock and crops for our nutrition.

For example

, In 2020, there were reported cases of forest fires in Australia which led to the death and displacement of numerous

species

of animals from their habitats.

In addition

, warmer temperatures are leading to more

health

risks

such

as malaria.

This

makes it difficult for the

health

sector to keep too many emergent cases. Solutions have been discovered to mitigate these problems. One of

such

is the

use

of renewable

energy

like solar, wind and hydropower in homes, offices and industries.

This

energy

produces no green gas emissions and poses zero

health

risks

.

Also

, Fossil fuels used in cars and industries emit dangerous gases

However

, the government has encouraged the

use

of public transportation

such

as trains and buses and carpooling to commute people travelling in the same direction to reduce green gas emissions.

This

action conserves the

use

of non-renewable

energy

.

For example

, China has constructed more metro lines to convey a large number of people to their destinations. To conclude, humans are at the receiving end of the dangers posed by global warming. These issues lead to exposure to illnesses and the loss of plants and animals.

However

,

this

can be remedied by encouraging the

use

of renewable

energy

and decreasing the

use

of fossil fuels.
