Quick “Why” and “How” can we help to stop global warming.
If we do not rise now, the sea level will rise.
– Gavin Schmidt (Climatologist)-
Since the 80s’, the sea level has risen 21–24 centimetres.
Why?
- Ice sheets are melting
- The ocean is expanding
How can we (individuals) act to stop?
- Use renewable energy – Solar power
- Drive electric vehicles, Bioduels from organic waste. In addition, ride a bicycle and walk instead of driving fossil fuel vehicles.
- Conserve energy better at home – Use LED lights, energy efficient appliances, reduce water consumption. Along with turn off all the unescessary power such as lights, air-conditioner
- Planting trees to emit carbon dioxide
- Support local businesses that use sustainable and climate-smart practices
Above all, the actions of individuals and households will contribute to reducing emissions.
Also, scientists believe that we need to extract existing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Worst-Case Scenario
If we don’t act now to wake up humans, to care about the planet, the sea-level rise will rise a maximum of 8.2 feet (2.5 meters) above 2000 levels by 2100.
