Being such a major issue on earth, global warming is bound to have multiple solutions to it. In many ways, the preventions themselves are the solutions. For example, the development of energy efficient technologies would save both the earth and money for many. Now technology is a broad term, it could be used to refer to things anywhere from lightbulbs to transportation. In the transportation field, several businesses are working towards ways to limit pollution that is so commonly emitted in vehicles such as aircraft and motor. They are looking into things such as transferring to low-carbon fuels and developing a more methodical approach to the vast transportation systems throughout the world.
Other solutions include increasing renewable sources and replacing more and more of them with nonrenewable fossil fuels. In doing this, there would be much less pollution in the atmosphere and the earth’s life would be prolonged as well. Halting the making of power plants that contribute to the carbon emissions and even shutting down existing ones will help with the reduction of pollutants in the atmosphere as well. There is this thing that not many people know about in which carbon emissions can actually be stored under the surface of the earth. While it does sound a little far-fetched it definitely is possible to execute.
Since deforestation is one of the largest contributors to global warming, it only makes sense that one of the biggest solutions would be to limit deforestation of cut down on it all together. An element that has not actually been implemented into society in abundance is the use of nuclear power. Nuclear power is much more environment-friendly than fossil fuels and so while it is a possibility there are several reasons why people are reluctant towards this solution. The main reason though, is the fact that they can pose a threat to cities that are near nuclear power plants. If there, for example, is a leak of nuclear energy for some reason, then citizens are going to be harmed. The question is though if everyone is willing to take that risk.
There are many countries out there that aren’t exactly well off. It is because of their lack of funds that limits their ability to contribute to global warming solution. Countries that have more money than these impoverished countries need to help them out so that they can have the financial capability to afford things such as greener technology and nuclear power. Looking back at it all, there already are multiple solutions that are in play today to slow down the warming of the earth. It looks like we know what we have to do as a world in response to global warming, it is just a matter of at what speed we pursue those goals and at what scale we will amplify them.
