Climate scientists have suggested a variety of ways to slow and stop global warming. One of their main suggestions is that people switch from using fossil fuels to using alternative energy sources. Hydroelectric power, wind energy, and solar energy could be used to power homes and vehicles instead of oil, gas, and coal. This would drastically reduce the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere.

While the burning of fossil fuels is a common form of pollution, it is not the only type. There are many forms of pollution that damage Earth’s water, land, and air. Illegally dumping trash and harmful chemicals into water sources damages oceans, rivers, and streams. Burying waste harms the land and can make it difficult for plants to grow. The smog produced by factories and cars pollutes the air and makes it difficult to breathe. Oil spills and other accidental polluting incidents also badly damage the environment. Government agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency work to help reduce pollution and its effects on the planet.

If allowed to continue, global warming will cause severe damage to both humans and the environment. Temperature increases of just a few degrees might not seem dangerous, but even small shifts in the overall temperature of the planet will have serious consequences. Many locations will not grow noticeably warmer. Instead, these areas will experience a dramatic increase in extreme weather. Tsunamis, hurricanes, thunderstorms, blizzards, and severe droughts could all become more common. Additionally, as Earth grows warmer at the poles, the ice caps will continue to melt. This will likely cause sea levels to rise and possibly make coastal areas unlivable over time.

Earth naturally goes through warming and cooling cycles. However, Earth has never changed temperature at such a drastic rate. Over millions of years, most species can adapt to changing environments. When environments change in just a few hundred years, many species cannot adapt quickly enough to survive. Polar bears are a good example of this. Global warming has caused large amounts of polar ice to melt rapidly. Polar bears have been unable to adapt to their smaller environments. They need the polar ice to sleep and hunt large prey. The declining numbers of large ice floes have caused some polar bear populations to drop by more than 20 percent in less than twenty years.

As global warming progresses, many animals will likely be unable to adapt to changing environmental conditions and become extinct. The sudden extinction of several animal species will severely alter the environment. It will damage food chains and other delicate parts of the ecosystem.

Climate scientists also advise against the continued logging and clearing of the rain forest. They argue that continued deforestation will release an additional two hundred billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in the coming decades. While conservation of forests and rain forests will cost money, scientists believe that it is essential to any plan to combat global warming.
