Nowadays, global warming is the biggest problem in the world. It was beginning and marked by increasing the temperature, or we can call as "Glacial Period". Glacial period is a period when the earth become an ice age and marked by extremely cold temperature. Beside the glacial period, the earth also become more hang climate between several glacial periods, it called as "Interglacial Period". 

There are several causes that caused the global warming. For many people, they still asking actually what is the major contribution that cause this problem? Actually there are many causes that can create the global warming, but the major cause is the gas emission.

As we know that, gas emission is very dangerous for health. The increasing amount of the gas emission it causes by increasing level of carbon dioxide. People expect for 150 years later; the level of the carbon dioxide will increase two times than it should be. We can imagine the effect when we are breathing, and how dangerous is it. The increasing level of carbon dioxide, caused by the usage of fossil fuel and coal. In this era, human is the biggest contribution for the increasing level of carbon dioxide. 

Our reliance on cars that burn fossil fuel is one of the major causes of increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and it is the primary cause of urban smog. For urban smog, we can know it in the country where is the population is very big; for instance, in the China, Indonesia, and the other develop country. In addition, because gas emissions are tied very closely to our energy consumption, if we use less fossil fuel based on the energy, so it will put fewer gas emission in the atmosphere. 

The other activities that cause the level of carbon dioxide increase, is burn polystyrene or other plastics containers in the landfill. All of that materials are made from precious petrochemicals, and if we decompose it in the landfills, it will release toxic gases when they are in incinerators.

Reduce the amount of the gas emission is very important to slow the global warming. We can do any positive activities; for instance, using public transportation, do the reduce, reuse, and recycle, do the reforestation, etc. For the important one is use the household effectively. If we can save the energy, it means we can also slow the cause of the global warming. Perhaps, to stop the global warming is difficult, but to slow the global warming is easier. We can change our world from the small one until the big one.
