Question

Thoroughly discuss the various current and proposed solutions to anthropogenic influences resulting in Global Climate Change. Thoroughly discuss the various current and proposed solutions to anthropogenic influences resulting in Global Climate Change.

The scientific community overwhelmingly supports the scientific evidence of Global Climate Change resulting from both natural and anthropogenic influences. So, why do many politicians, journalists, and others still not accept or possibly care about the scientific evidences, especially anthropogenic influences, for Global Climate Change? Thoroughly justify your answer.

Answer 1

There are many current and proposed solutions to global warming which includes-

> Using renewable sources of energy- Using renewable sources of energy like solar power wind power has very less negative effect on the environment than the conventional sources of energy. The renewable sources of energy have nearly 0 carbon emission which very useful to curb the greenhouse effect.

> Promoting lesser use of biofuels- Biofuels are the main sources of CO₂ which is the main greenhouse gas. So nowadays many countries are promoting the use of electric cookers, induction ovens, electric vehicles which will reduce the emission of greenhouse gas.

> Concept of recycling- The concept of recycling is getting very popular day by day. The use of used materials to make a new thing reduces the waste produced by a human being which can reduce the carbon footprint.

>Spreading the awareness about global climate change- The effect of climate change can not be curbed if we don't take initiative at the individual level. For that people needs to be aware of the negative effect of climate change. Many governments and international organizations like the UN have taken many ground-level initiatives to people make aware of the issues.

> Taxes & government regulations- In many countries, the government is trying to promote sustainable energy sources. In this process, the conventional business materials which are harmful to society are being subjected to a high amount of taxes and other government regulations and restrictions.

> Protecting the forces and planting trees in the buildings in the cities and social forestry can also reduce the effect of climate change.

As it is mentioned before that many governments are putting taxes and other restrictions on traditional factories and business materials. In many cities and countries in the world, the use of plastic polythene has been banned. There are many restrictions like not cutting trees, a certain limit of carbon emission from the factories, high tax of the industrial product, etc. These are affecting the industrialists. The conventional industries are facing tough competition from the new sustainable business models. These restrictions have resulted in a heavy loss for the conventional industries which are based on the traditional energy resources. Many politicians have close ties with the industrialists, some times industrialists turn into politicians, that's why some politicians deny the effect of climate change. On the other hand, some journalists do not show the real scenario they work for some particular sect of the people for a specific interest which is known as yellow journalism. These yellow journalists also deny the negative effect of climate change.
