Known CO2 contributers

Due to global warming, polar ice caps are melting very soon. This causes a significant rise in sea level, and this rise decreases the land available, making human habitation very difficult.

This will soon make coastal cities, villages & towns vanish and soon, the whole earth will be submerged under water.

A bit about Potential Solutions


The effect of global warming can be clearly seen in the movie, The Day After Tomorrow. Global warming is due to increases in green house gases like carbon dioxide. They trap the sun's energy & don't allow the heat energy to escape off.

The heat energy melts the polar ice caps & causes global warming. People must be made aware of it & must reduce use of fuels that emit green house gases on combustion & must make use of renewable sources of energy.

By doing so global warming can be reduced significantly.

Barry's Response - Reducing fuel combustion is a good idea for many reasons, Karthick. Curbing global warming MAY be one of them.

Why?


Classic theory on this has put it that the greenhouse gases forms a protective layer around the earth, preventing terrestrial long-wave radiation from escaping from below until it emanates with sufficient energy (from increased terrestrial temperatures) to overcome the blockage above. It does not block the sun's radiation; that's why the potential is there for it to get so warm in the first place.

Other Notes


Your advocacy for global warming awareness and action is commendable. Reduced fuel combustion also promotes energy independence and economic growth.

When it comes to this topic, balance is key. Even though greenhouse gases (GHGs) like carbon dioxide play a role in Earth's climate, they make up a tiny fraction. Solar radiation, volcanic activity, and oceanic patterns have influenced Earth's climate over millennia. Some studies say solar irradiance affects Earth's temperature a lot.

Climate models and data have also been questioned because climate science is politicized. Politics and funding have been blamed for influencing climate research and its outcomes.

Media consumption can also shape public perceptions of climate change. Information from right-leaning outlets might make people less convinced of anthropogenic climate change.

Also, many of the world's religions contain doctrine that's all about stewardship. It's important to care for the environment and to distinguish between genuine concerns and alarmism.

It's important to have open, informed discussions that consider all factors affecting our climate when reducing emissions and promoting sustainability. The diversity of perspectives and freedom of thought help us understand this thing better.
