Solutions to Global Warming

As you know, we are facing the extent and seriousness of rising surface of Earth temperatures.

Therefore, the action is needed to reduce future warming.

 

Japan KYUSHU Tourist has been providing the information on the Global issues of Environment.

And also while conducting environmental tours, we have been proposing the solutions to global

warming and environmental problems.

Climate change           

Climate change includes both the global warming driven by human emissions of

greenhouse gases, and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns.

Though there have been previous periods of climatic change, since the mid-20th century,

humans have had unprecedented impact on Earth’s climate system and caused change on

a global scale

 

The largest driver of warming is the emission of greenhouse gases, of which more than

90% are carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane.

Fossil fuel burning (coal, oil, and gas) for energy consumption is the main source of these

emissions, with additional contributions from agriculture, deforestation, and industrial processes.

Global Warming

Global warming, the phenomenon of increasing average air temperatures near the surface of

Earth over the past one to two centuries. Climate scientists have since the mid-20th century

gathered detailed observations of various weather phenomena (such as temperatures, precipitation,

and storms) and of related influences on climate (such as ocean currents and the atmosphere’s

chemical composition).

These data indicate that Earth’s climate has changed over almost every conceivable timescale

since the beginning of geologic time and that the influence of human activities since at least the

beginning of the Industrial Revolution has been deeply woven into the very fabric of climate change.

Carbon neutrality

Carbon neutrality refers to achieving net zero carbon dioxide emissions by balancing

carbon dioxide emissions with removal.

Carbon-neutral status can be achieved in two ways:  

 

Balancing carbon dioxide emissions with carbon offsets, often through carbon offsetting—the

process of reducing or avoiding greenhouse gas emissions or sequestering (removing) carbon

dioxide from the atmosphere to make up for emissions elsewhere. If the total greenhouse gasses

emitted is equal to the total amount avoided or removed then the two effectively cancel each other

out and the net emissions are ‘neutral’.

 

Reducing carbon emissions (low-carbon economy) to zero through changing energy sources and

industry processes. Shifting towards the use of renewable energy (e.g. hydro, wind, geothermal,

and solar power) as well as nuclear power reduces GHG emissions. Although both renewable and

non-renewable energy both produce carbon emissions in some form, renewable energy has a lesser

to almost zero carbon emissions which produces much less carbon emissions compared to fossil fuels.

Making changes to current industrial and agricultural processes to reduce carbon emissions

(for example, diet changes to livestock such as cattle can potentially reduce methane production

by 40%. Carbon projects and emissions trading are often used to reduce carbon emissions, and

carbon dioxide can even sometimes be prevented from entering the atmosphere entirely (such as

by carbon scrubbing).
