Introduction
An immense body of evidence elaborated through the last 40 years shows that climate change is real and it is already influencing people’s lives. Global warming was first recognized as a worldwide environmental problem in the 1970s (DiMento & Doughman, 2014). The reason for climate change is considered to be the human-caused greenhouse gases emissions since the 1950s (WWF – Australia, 2004) If the discharge continues to grow at the present rate, the results of the climate change will affect many countries within a short timeframe (WWF – Australia, 2008). The present paper is an attempt to overview the problems global warming poses and find adequate solutions for the issues.
Main body
First, the present research touches upon the main reasons for climate change and overview the scientific literature concerning the challenges global warming provides. Second, the paper analyses the solutions for the problems. Third, the study attempts to evaluate the current greenhouse gas emission strategies and create the exact pattern humanity must follow to address the issue most efficiently. The importance of the study is uncanny as it offers the reader a holistic assessment of the situation concerning climate change in simple words.
Conclusion
There are two main issues that global warming provokes, the first is ecological and the second is economic. On the one hand, the environmental implications of climate change include an overall temperature rise that can lead to glacier thawing thus completely changing the planet’s climate.
On the other hand, the economic challenges are mainly due to the fight against global warming, as there arose a need to spend more money on the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by the industries (Franks et al., 2014). The primary solution for the problem in arriving at a global strategy that would drive the governments of all countries to unite in their fight against climate change (WWF – Australia, 2008). While such elaborations may appear overly complicated, it is undoubtedly the only way to address the issue efficiently.
