A lot of evidence suggests that global warming has affected our planet in the worst
way possible over the past decade. The amount of carbon dioxide emission has
almost doubled and is the highest over the past 800,000 years. This drastic climatic
change will be disastrous for natural vegetation, the natural habitat of wildlife, alter
the natural crop cycles and will spread diseases. There have been warning signs of
an alarming rise in sea-level over the past few years and is threatening a number of
coastal lands to be submerged. The climatic change will also turn the planet into a
hub for a number of infectious diseases and parasitic infestation. Some places will
become too hot and inhabitable, causing a mass migration of people leading to a
refugee crisis. A lot of animals are dependent on the Arctic region for its survival, like
the arctic birds, the ringed seals, walrus, lemmings, tundra hares, whales, polar
bears, muskoxen etcetera and their numbers are dwindling at a faster rate, pushing
them closer to the verge of extinction. All these scenarios are not something that
should be taken lightly.

How to reduce global warming

Though global warming happens on a broader aspect, you can contribute in bringing
down the negative effects of it by addressing its root cause and trying to rectify that.
Few methods to reduce global warming as an individual are-

• Say no to deforestation- Trees absorb and store carbon dioxide and
gives out fresh oxygen to breathe, therefore, it is apt that an effort is made
to save them. Rapid deforestation has become very common now, mainly
to convert forests into lands for business profits. You should stand up
against this by spreading the idea of the importance of trees and
plantations.
• Plant trees- Another way of counteracting deforestation is planting trees
wherever possible. The life of every tree is important, so every tree you
plant, you are working towards making the planet a better place to live.
• Use the renewable source of energy- There are enough renewable
sources of energy around you which can be utilised smartly for various
purpose while reducing the need to burn fossil fuels. These fossil fuels
emit an increased amount of carbon dioxide which directly contributes to
global warming. Renewable resources like wind, solar energy, water
etcetera should be harvested efficiently.
