Solution for Global Warming

In Bone’s (2007) article, “ A global warning for UN chief from the ice floes at the foot of the world,” he explains that Ban Ki Moon, who is the secretary-general of the United Nations, went to Antarctica because he wanted to gather information about Antarctica’s ice collapse problem. He had been to visit Antarctica before, when he was South Korean foreign minister. He thought that Antarctica is very impressive and beautiful even though it has a problem. The author discusses the fact that most scientists believe that the reason for Ice melting is climate change. The collapse of ice shelves belongs to the Antarctic Peninsula area. This ice is much stronger than the other. If shelves break down, that could raise the sea levels by over five meters. Some scientist predicted this problem a decade ago but at that time nobody cared what he said. But now this is most serious problem in the world.

It is a fact that Antarctica’s ice is beginning to melt and it means that global warming is getting worse. Most governments and global associations are focused on this problem and are trying to solve it. But it is hard to care about all problems for them. People should figure out how to save the earth from global warming, like reducing greenhouse gas, using renewable resources, and saving the earths resources.

First, people have to reduce greenhouse gas. The greenhouse gas is the main cause of global warming. It has destroyed the ozone. If ozone is broken, people can’t live more safely. If each house changes an electric-light bulb to a glow lamp, that should be reduce greenhouse gas by 68Kg per year and using public transportation might save the air pollution. Those facts should be helpful to save the earth from the global warming.

Second, people should use renewable resources more than nonrenewable resources. In the world the most expensive and useful resource is fossil fuel; however, it causes bad smoke to flow atmosphere. However, everyone uses it. It gives bad effect to ozone and world nature. If humans utilize renewable resources such as solar, wind and water energy, those should be a better way to save the earth from global warming and we don’t need to worry about energy exhaustion.

Last, people have to take care of the earth’s natural resources. Nature is an important resource around us. It helps people eat and live. Although it very helpful material to us, but nature has been gradually destroyed by human’s hand. People have to plant seeds in the ground. It looks like small work, but if everyone does it one time, it is going to make a big difference.

In conclusion, those facts are just one thing to save the earth. The point of there facts is that we can just do small tings, which we can do. It is the first step to save the earth. Don’t try to solve a big problem, only focus on what you can. It is the best way to save the earth. The earth’s owner is human; there is nothing more important than the earth.
