There have been many controversial opinions from across the public domain on the question of global warming, its causes and ways of mitigating it, and the climate change problem it has brought in the globe. However, scientific evidence has it that global warming is caused by the increasing production of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. It is thus reasonable to be rightly claimed that global warming is a fact. Indeed, with the unprecedented increase in global temperatures as well as changes in weather patterns such as prolonged droughts and floods over the recent past, I say, global warming is real. Statistical information has shown that temperature changes were negligible during the early 20th century. However, the ever increasing rate of industrialization coupled with deforestation, and thus increased emission of greenhouse gases over the past few decades have been witnessed with global temperature increase and other unpredictable climatic changes. It is based on this that many across the globe belief that reducing such causes of global warming can sufficiently reverse the climate concerns in the world.

It is in line with the ensuring of a sustainable globe that each and every individual must save the degradation of the environment. This calls for the ensuring of sufficient trees in our environment by reducing the rate of deforestation, as well as increasing forestation and reforestation activities in our communities. This would largely reduce carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. Still to be noted is the fact that each and every individual should strive to practice safe disposing of waste products as a way of reducing environment pollution. Recycling of wastes such as plastics should be encouraged to reduce environmental degradation. There are other ways of reducing environmental pollution at the community level such as engaging in environment friendly agricultural practices such as organic farming and other economic practices that would reduce the emission of greenhouse gases.

In conclusion, it is clear that global warming phenomenon is real and individuals, governments and other stakeholders of the global community should address by finding ways of reducing the emission of greenhouse gases. Sill clear is the fact that by engaging in environment friendly practices such as forestation and safe disposal of waste products, local communities can reduce the rates of environmental degradation.
