Development of Strategic Plans to Reverse the Effects of Global Warming and Climate Change
The issue of global warming affects every stage of life on earth. Government’s policies, plans for individual citizens, corporate-level plans all over the world aim at reversing the effects of global warming and climate change. The environmentalists all over the world expresses concern over the changing scenario and urge the inhabitants to take up necessary steps to reduce the effects of global warming.
- Kyoto Protocol was ratified by several countries all over the globe to support the following mechanisms; Joint Implementation (JI), Clean Development (CDM) and Emission Trading. Each of the mechanisms is designed for the creation of carbon credits and help each of the states meet the stipulated emission limits. However, the United States have refused to join Kyoto Protocol till date.
- Participation in programs such as Green Energy Credits is extremely important for generation of further interests in the future. Energy credits that offset use of non-renewable source of energy can be bought if the local service provider fails to offer renewable energy products. The suppliers of renewable energy are offered Green Energy Credits. This enables them to make investments in energies like solar energy resources and wind farms.
- The existing grassroots efforts must be joined in an attempt to reduce global warming and climate change. Organize all sorts of effort to bring back use of renewable energy sources. Combined citizen’s action can reduce use of energy. The business houses must be pressurized to use energy-efficient lighting and turn off the lights when not in use.
- The existing lights used for domestic purposes must be replaced with energy-efficient bulbs to reverse the effects of global warming and climate change. Energy conservation is possible only when lights and fans are switched off when not in use. If you have the option, go for alternative fuel transportation. Use of public transportation is one of the best ways you can reduce emission of harmful CO2 in the atmosphere. The children as well as adults must educate themselves more about global warming and climate change.
- The main goal of each and every resident on earth must be to reduce the level of CO2 emission in the atmosphere. An individual person’s carbon footprint gets reduced considerably with the smarter moves he/she takes. Investment in electric hybrid vehicle is another option which one can go for.
- Eating better can also reduce incidences of global warming and climate change. The flatulence which gets emitted by livestock can be said to be one of the primary factors behind release of methane. Significant reduction of meat consumption will eventually bring about reduction in the level of methane emission in atmosphere. Carbon dioxide emission gets reduced with the eating of foods that are grown locally as the food need not be shipped from long distances. The amount of processing required for preserving food reduces when fresh food is taken. Frozen or canned food that requires processing in order to be preserved, leads to global warming and climate change.
The problem of global warming can be solved only with education and increased awareness. So let us take the pledge to save our wonderful planet from the hazardous effect of global warming and climate change.
