Greenhouse gases emission: a major problem |
---|
Greenhouse gases are gases that trap heat in atmosphere and cause global warming. The main greenhouse gases are carbondioxide, water vapour, nitrous oxide, methane, ozone, chloroflurocarbons. Human activities are solely responsible for almost all the greenhouse gases emission. The main sources of greenhouse gas emissions are due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil, natural gases for transport, heat and electricity along with increasing deforestation and soil erosion. These greenhouse gases emitted by various activities are:
The major effect of greenhouse gases is global warming. Apart from it, it also causes climate change, ozone layer depletion, ocean acidification, smog pollution, changes to plant growth and nutrition levels.
Greenhouse gases effects can be solved by applying 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle) in our life. Alternative sources of energy like solar energy, wind energy, hydroelectricity should be encouraged instead of fossil fuels which are non-renewable sources of energy. Use of filters in industries should be made compulsory before emitting smokes and gases into the atmosphere. People should buy energy efficient products, use off switch, plant more trees and use public transports instead of personal and drive less and prefer walking and cycling. In conclusion, over emission of greenhouse gases result global warming, climate change and ozone layer depletion and many more adverse effects in the environment. It is major environmental issues and rules and policies should be made from global levels but start from yourself first.

Thank you Rohan :) and yes we must realize its effects.

Greenhouse gases are constant source of vast problems including ozone layer depletion. We must start from ourselves, rightly written.
