1. Mitigation of global warming implies the adoption of measures aimed at reducing the magnitude of global warming. The scientific consensus on global warming coupled with the fear of climate transitions is leading to increased efforts to develop new technologies and sciences to address the problem of global warming. At the core of most proposals is reducing greenhouse gas emissions by reducing energy use and switching to cleaner energy sources. Meeting the challenges of controlling global warming requires fundamental changes in energy production, transportation, industry, government policies, and development strategies around the world. These changes would take time. The current challenge is to manage impacts that cannot be avoided while taking steps to prevent severe impacts in the future. Some of the mitigation measures are attached below.
has. Forests provide many social, economic and environmental benefits. In addition to wood and paper products, forests provide habitat for wildlife, recreational opportunities, prevent soil erosion and flooding, help provide clean air and water, and contain tremendous biodiversity. Forests are also an important defense against global climate change. Through the process of photosynthesis, forests produce the oxygen that supports life and consume enormous amounts of carbon dioxide, which does the most to mitigate global warming.
b. Hydropower from dams is considered a relatively cleaner source of energy because it emits fewer greenhouse gases than thermal power plants. Greenhouse gases contribute to global warming and climate change, and for many environmentalists, the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is the most important environmental problem.
against The scientific study of the physical, chemical and biological aspects of the world’s oceans is called oceanography. Greater insight into climatic variations can be gained to describe how biological productivity in the sea is controlled. A large amount of carbon dioxide could be removed from the atmosphere if small floating marine plants in the vast oceans could absorb significant amounts of carbon dioxide. The oceans receive a considerable amount of sunlight and have a large amount of nitrogen and phosphorus compounds that generally support the growth of such plants in the greenish waters of the coastal ocean. In one experiment, seawater containing dissolved iron was pumped into a small area, resulting in the growth of small marine plants.
d. One way to prevent carbon dioxide emissions from reaching the atmosphere is to preserve and grow more trees. Trees, especially young and fast-growing ones, absorb a large amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Slowing the rate of deforestation and planting new trees can help offset the spread of greenhouse gases. In most cases, the carbon capture process would involve transporting the gas in compressed form to suitable locations for underground storage. Deep ocean waters could also absorb a large amount of carbon dioxide, although the environmental effects can be detrimental to marine life. The feasibility and environmental effects of these options are being studied by international teams.
me. Total world consumption of fossil fuels is increasing by several percent annually. New technologies for energy resources can help offset these effects. Significant reductions in carbon dioxide emissions can only be achieved by moving away from fossil fuel energy sources.
Yo. Nuclear power plants do not release carbon dioxide at all, but nuclear power is controversial for safety reasons and the high costs of nuclear waste disposal.
ii. Solar power, wind power and hydrogen fuel cells can be alternative means of energy that do not emit greenhouse gases. These energy sources can be practical and low-polluting alternatives to fossil fuels. Other alternatives include fuels made from plants, such as biodiesel (made from new and used vegetable oil) and ethanol (a plant-based gasoline additive). Using these fuels can help reduce total carbon dioxide emissions from cars. The hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), which uses both an electric motor and a gasoline or diesel engine, emits less carbon dioxide than conventional cars.
F. Urban planning also has an effect on energy use. Inefficient land use practices have increased infrastructure costs, as well as the amount of energy needed for transportation, community services, and buildings. Efficient planning will serve to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. Planning and concentrating housing within walking distance of urban centers and transportation will reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
gram. Emissions from housing are substantial. New buildings using a passive solar building design can be made more efficient through the use of insulation, high-efficiency appliances (particularly water heaters and furnaces), double- or triple-glazed gas windows, external window shades, and the orientation and site of the building. Renewable heat sources, such as geothermal energy and passive solar energy, reduce the amount of greenhouse gases emitted. This saves energy because it cools buildings and reduces the urban heat island effect, thus reducing the use of air conditioning.
H. The development of new technologies, such as hydrogen cars, can reduce oil consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. A switch from air and transportation to electric rail would significantly reduce emissions. The increased use of biofuels will also reduce emissions. For electric vehicles, the reduction in carbon emissions will improve even more.
Yo. The population explosion is a fundamental factor that has led to global warming. Proposed measures include improving access to family planning and reproductive health care and information, public awareness of the consequences of continued population growth, and improving women’s access to education and economic opportunity.
d. There is a requirement to launch a nationwide media campaign through print and electronic media to make the masses aware of the dangers of global warming and the importance of growing trees.
k. There are already rules and regulations regarding the establishment and operation of industries. There is a compelling need for the industry sector to be compelled by the agencies involved to follow the letter and spirit of the rules regarding environmentally friendly policies.
2. There is a need to protect our future from the dangers of environmental changes facing the world today. Mitigation efforts to reduce Global Warming would help make a prosperous nation as well as a healthy atmosphere for our next generations. The most basic question of who would make the first move is now out of the question due to the obvious scenario of consequences. Therefore, proactive policy at every level is mandatory and should become our moral obligation towards a better and prosperous future.
Global Warming is causing rising temperatures, drying up water sources, sudden and unpredictable natural calamities; which results in the loss of millions of lives every decade, which should act as a wake-up call and as a group or individually we should all try to adopt the applicable mitigation measures and this is only possible if we understand the core problem and gravity. of its far-reaching implications.
