Negative impact of global warming

Global warming is a condition where the earth’s temperature is getting hotter. This global warming causes various adverse effects, such as ozone depletion, so that ultraviolet rays can directly enter the earth and rising sea levels due to the melting of polar ice caps. Global warming occurs because of the large amount of carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere which will cause ozone depletion. The amount of carbon dioxide gas found on earth is not balanced with the number of trees that can absorb carbon dioxide. The forests have begun to be cleared for agricultural land, plantations or converted from protected forests to production forests.

In recent years, the world has experienced a severe increase in temperature. The carbon dioxide gas comes from factory fumes or motor vehicles. If we look around, there must be a lot of factories operating that produce carbon dioxide gas. This is still in our country. Imagine what happens in industrialized countries? Industrialized countries must have more factories. Try to imagine how much carbon dioxide gas that comes from these activities. The industrialized countries should deal with the carbon dioxide released by the actions of factories.

Worse yet, the world’s forests that should be able to help reduce carbon dioxide gas a little on earth cannot perform their role correctly. This is because many trees in the forest are cut down. In addition to cutting down trees in forests, several cases in Indonesia were the transfer of forest functions, from groves that functioned as protected forests being converted into conservation forests. This, of course, can worsen the condition of the earth.

The condition of increasingly sophisticated technology is in line with global warming, also getting worse. Therefore, if we are people who claim to care about the environment, don’t forget to do the smallest things that can reduce global warming. Examples are that we can plant trees on the house’s terrace, reduce the use of air conditioning, cycle to the office, and much more. Let’s start caring for the environment for a better future.
