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. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own experience or knowledge.

Global warming is one of the most pressing problems in the world nowadays.

This

issue stems from a lot of factors, and I believe that it could be addressed by several viable solutions with the cooperation of authorities and citizens. There are many reasons leading to global warming.

Firstly

, with a rapid increase in the human population, the mother earth has been contaminated by a large amount of garbage, produced through the production and consumption of goods.

For example

, a staggering 2.7 million tonnes of plastic are generated in The Philippines each year.

Additionally

, the total amount of carbon emission and greenhouse gas emitted from factories and vehicles

also

increases dramatically, which eventually leads to ozone layer depletion and climate change.

According to

a recent scientific report, the earth's average temperature has risen by nearly 1 degree Celsius and will not stop at

this

number in the future. In order to address

this

problem, various/different actions should be taken by both governments and individuals.One is that politicians can legislate laws to limit

who excessively emit exhaust fumes, forcing them to switch to a more environmentally-friendly system.

Moreover

, every person can take steps to slow down, and eventually stop the damage through everyday awareness of our energy use, and attention to the ways we can save electricity and minimize fossil fuel usage. People should switch to energy-efficient lighting, improve the efficiency of home appliances, make it a habit to bring their own shopping bag

of using plastic when going to market, and use products made from recycled materials or recyclable materials to reduce waste, which can contaminate water resources, make use of public transport

instead

of their private vehicles. In conclusion,

While

humans are causing environmental destruction in many ways,

this

issue can still be solved by both governments and individuals.
