What's "Global Warming"? Global warming is a phenomenon of the increasing temperature of the surface of the earth both land and water. Since 100 years ago the temperature of the earth is increasing about 1 Celcius degree. The temperature of the weather is already increasing, right? Can you imagine what will happen to our children and grandchildren? The ice arctic is melting already and some part of the earth already feel the drought. It's not a little problem that we can see by one side of our eyes, it's a serious problem to solve!
What's the difference between "Global Warming" itself with "Climate Change"? Some of us think that's the same things, that's not true but they have relation each other. What's "Climate Change"? Climate change is the changing of the weather in some regional and other close regional may get the effect too. Climate Change is one of the effects of global warming itself.
We can feel the effect of the global warming today easily. Feel the weather around you, do you feel the heat? Maybe you don't feel it when you are in a room with full air conditioner. Feel the air, do you feel the air isn't fresh and clear anymore? That's just a little analogy for u to realize that this earth is significantly changing and we need to stop it. Every factory produces pollution and throw it to the free air and also in the river or ocean. All the people choose to use their own car and motorcycle rather than use the bicycle or the public transportation. All the people choose to use the air conditioner, refrigerator, and many more electronic devices and waste the energy that we can save for our children and grandchildren in the future. The forest is already gone because human use it for living space and many animals becoming extinct.
We can't blame all those to us because nature has their own role too. Such as the volcano eruption which produces CO2, the release of the methane gas arctic tundra and wetland, and solar cycle and cosmic ray with responsible for more than 14% increasing heat in the earth. Those kinds of things, we can't stop it but we can stop the cause of a manmade cause.
Global warming itself can be minimalized, as a busy human with all those things we should do, we can still care about our beloved home, earth. Such as using the electricity wisely, by the word wisely don't think that we need to give much effort. We can be wise too in little things, turn off the lamp when you don't use it. Don't turn on your air conditioner when there's window around, just open the window and you will get the fresh air from nature. Use bulb that uses less electricity, maybe the price is higher but it can save your next generation. Forest also have the main role in nature and global warming itself, from the forest we can increase the amount of oxygen by also decreasing the amount of carbon dioxide. As you can see right now that the forest in this world is becoming less and less. We have to green the forest again.
In the end, it comes back again to us. Do we want to save the earth? Do we want to save our generation? Maybe our little action will not affect the earth but how if we all do it? This earth will not be just a planet but our home that we can rely on. Just like Gandhi said, "Be the change you wish to see in the world!"
