Even though both are accurate and real, but they bring different meanings. It’s not your fault
if you think global warming is climate change because it is a type of climate change. The broader
term covers changes beyond warm temperatures such as changes in cloud patterns. If you have
been hearing the news lately, then you might have heard about President Trump making claims
that the scientists stopped referring to global warming and started calling it climate change because
“the weather has been so cold” in winter. But it is a false statement and researchers have been
However you call it, the threat is real. “OUR PLANET IS HEATING UP!”. Do you know
how much? When the readings were taken in 2017, researchers found that the Earth had warmed
by roughly 2 degrees (more than 1 degree) since 1880. The number may look like its small, but by
taking the surface of an entire planet into account, it is actually high which explains why much of
the worlds ice is starting to melt and the ocean levels are rising. If the greenhouse gases continue
unchecked, scientists say, the global temperature would ultimately exceed 8 degrees which is a big
threat to mankind.
Greenhouse gases are not new to us. We have known about it for more than a century. But
nothing has changed. Greenhouse gas that has been emitted since the industrial revolution has
caused high levels of air pollution. Specifically, Carbon Dioxide or CO2 has increased 43 percent
Are we responsible for the increase? Many do not take the blame for this increase as CO 2 is
naturally found in the atmosphere even before the industrial revolution started. Hard evidence,
including studies that use radioactivity to distinguish industrial emissions from natural emissions,
shows that the extra gas is coming from human activity. Carbon dioxide levels rose and fell
naturally in the long-ago past, but those changes took thousands of years. Geologists say that
humans are now pumping the gas into the air much faster than nature has ever done.
Finally, the greenhouse gases which are being released by human activity are the cause of air
pollution and global warming. Necessary measures had to be taken to contain the threat and
eradicate it in the future. Carbon taxes, carbon trading and so on, these are just shorthand
descriptions of methods to put a price on emissions, which economists say is one of the most
important steps society could take to limit them. Moreover, researches have been done to convert
CO2 into harmless gases. I hope such measures would come into practice soon. Lets protect the
earth together
