~ EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING ~

Assalamualaikum and a very good morning.alhamdulillah today I have a chance to write on this page about the effects of global warming. As we known as well, global warming is very dangerous. So I’m here to share with you guys about the effects of global warming so that we can be ware to this bad phenomenon…

The planet is warming, from North Pole to South Pole, and everywhere in between. Globally, the mercury is already up more than 1 degree Fahrenheit (0.8 degree Celsius), and even more in sensitive polar regions. And the effects of rising temperatures aren’t waiting for some far-flung future. They’re happening right now. Signs are appearing all over, and some of them are surprising. The heat is not only melting glaciers and sea ice, it’s also shifting precipitation patterns and setting animals on the move.
Some impacts from increasing temperatures are already happening.
• Ice is melting worldwide, especially at the Earth’s poles. This includes mountain glaciers, ice sheets covering West Antarctica and Greenland, and Arctic sea ice.
• Researcher Bill Fraser has tracked the decline of the Adélie penguins on Antarctica, where their numbers have fallen from 32,000 breeding pairs to 11,000 in 30 years.
• Sea level rise became faster over the last century.
• Some butterflies, foxes, and alpine plants have moved farther north or to higher, cooler areas.
• Precipitation (rain and snowfall) has increased across the globe, on average.
• Spruce bark beetles have boomed in Alaska thanks to 20 years of warm summers. The insects have chewed up 4 million acres of spruce trees.
Other effects could happen later this century, if warming continues.
• Sea levels are expected to rise between 7 and 23 inches (18 and 59 centimeters) by the end of the century, and continued melting at the poles could add between 4 and 8 inches (10 to 20 centimeters).
• Hurricanes and other storms are likely to become stronger.
• Species that depend on one another may become out of sync. For example, plants could bloom earlier than their pollinating insects become active.
• Floods and droughts will become more common. Rainfall in Ethiopia, where droughts are already common, could decline by 10 percent over the next 50 years.
• Less fresh water will be available. If the Quelccaya ice cap in Peru continues to melt at its current rate, it will be gone by 2100, leaving thousands of people who rely on it for drinking water and electricity without a source of either.
• Some diseases will spread, such as malaria carried by mosquitoes.
• Ecosystems will change—some species will move farther north or become more successful; others won’t be able to move and could become extinct. Wildlife research scientist Martyn Obbard has found that since the mid-1980s, with less ice on which to live and fish for food, polar bears have gotten considerably skinnier. Polar bear biologist Ian Stirling has found a similar pattern in Hudson Bay. He fears that if sea ice disappears, the polar bears will as well.

Part 4: Government Ways To handle

4th : Main objective to get over this problem

The government should more take this issues seriously not just the development of the country as their first priority. The environment are needed some protection from these institution whereas the keep the ecology runs smoothly without any outlaws trespassing and misuse of power to gain wealth in a short term whilst the nature keep unsafe, unprotected, and exposed with the mother nature disaster towards human that are surrounding them. One of the solutions is re - enforcement protecting nature from poachers illegally. The government also enforcement the act by fine those poachers with highly fine for e.g in Malaysia , the government set up fine RM500,00 for each the breaks the rule based on ( Environment ACT 1974 ). The enforcement this are needed and updated each time so it will always suit in future ahead. Soon, the reserve forest in the country are fully protected from any danger activities that can threaten wildlife species such as Malay Tiger, Elephant , Rhinos, and others biodiversity in it.

In addition, the government also need the NGO's to enhance and ensure the message is clear and the people understand the importance of the nature to us. Both institution are need one another to makes a better future.

Part 3 : Solutions

3rd solutions : Society Role

Society's role undoubtedly, cant be denied because the society is huge population of people that can make a step forward to solves this once and for all. What the society has to do is how to manage from the family first. Inspiring family member to be responsible in concerned about the ecology of the nature and the benefits from nature gave to us is more important. As a head of family, the father or the mom are main to educated child to be eco - friendly and teach them how to be a an excellent on green nature. Bring the child to nature, for e.g bring them in a reserved forest or wildlife trip to somewhere in a country so the children how to take care about the earth and what's in it. Therefore, the child exposed by environment so that the child knows what the good and the bad for the earth. As a result, less and lesser consumption of the plastic bag, transportation and so forth can be seen in a future and the global warming heat down to low temperature.

Part 2 : solutions

Solutions : advance or develop a alternative sources from non harmful to nature

In my opinion, Malaysia for example is far left behind from the advance countries such a Germany, Sweden, Swiss , Britain , States, Japan , Korea and so forth that really concerned about their environment because they knows how to handle this situation. As for Malaysia, the alternative source is still new in our country, therefore waste management that can offered us become of our alternative source reducing or decrease the consumption of the fuel and coal. In the meantime fuel or oil extinction can be maintain it as the main generate electricity in future for the next 10 till 20 years.

Next, the others solutions is by usage renewable source such as usage of the solar energy in large scale for e.g in home, office, chalets, or buildings and so on. The solar is known its heat, or the temperature , light straight to our venues therefore our electricity is free of charge. And the best about this one solar energy is, it always continues without limit in during daytime, the solar energy that have been save we can use it in the night. So our bill is not expensive after all, and our budget of the month can be reduced.

In addition, others renewable source such as the wind sources. Wind will never ever out of service and so does solar. When it combine with technology, wind is useful to generate the "fan" to produce electricity and the energy of the wind channeled to houses, offices and others. Therefore the wind is more basically free from waste and gasses that effect to our earth.

The Solutions Of This Matter

1st : Reduce Emission

How we are going to solve this down once and for all. From my nutshell, this kinda solutions quite and pretty hard to do. But nothing is impossible, step by step on prevent global warming is to stopped the harmful and dangerously vehicle and others that exhale the methane, carbon dioxide and others gasses up in the air. Hence, we might shared the same cars or vehicle during the moment while went to workplaces, schools, colleagues and so forth so emissions from the vehicle can be reduced and so the global warming can be calm for a while. If we do this, the benefits can be shown this 5 - 10 years from now...If we preoccupied continued doing such thing, what goes around comes around, and so this solution as well, human themselves need to change the way their act, behavior towards the surrounding us.

Thats for the first parts..

Cheers..:)
