Is Global Warming Due to Human Actions and Can Human Race Take Actions to Stop Global Warming?

Is global warming due to human actions and can human race take actions to stop global warming?

This paper is primarily based on contemplating the issue of global warming on the grounds of the role played by humanity in increasing the incidence of global warming, while also discussing the existential possibility of any ways in which humans can acquire control over the grave consequences produced by this greatest environmental rival of all times. Facts and discussion presented in this paper are meant to illuminate the reality of the claim that "agricultural and industrial revolution, land-use change, and an increase in greenhouse gas concentrations are all such human actions which have raised global warming rate and acts like recycling, energy conservation, and tree plantation can help reduce this."

(Drallos, 2009) lays stress on the fact that human activity has played a significant role in exponentially increasing the rate of global warming owing to the increased burning of fossil fuels and industrial emissions which increases the CO2 gas concentration in the atmosphere and this plays a direct role in increasing the Earth's temperature. Actually, the human population has been increasing so tremendously over the past many years that there seems no apparent end to the ongoing use of land, energy, and fossils, thus environmental scientists tend to be at loss of applying any useful strategy for controlling this dramatic and urgent environmental emergency. In the research report presented by (Drallos, 2009), it is also mentioned that since the beginning of the industrial revolution, massive amounts of CO2 gas have been released in the atmosphere continuously and not only that, global temperatures are also on a constant rise with the result that this rising global warming trend has succeeded in producing changes in the Earth map.

The changes produced in Earth map refer to the vastly reduced Arctic ice-covered area and this is obviously the result of destructive human activities like increased poisonous gases released in the atmosphere. According to (Biello, 2009), the risks of harmful consequences brought on by global warming has explicitly marred many potential positive aspects, like the complete melting of ice caps in areas like Greenland and Antarctica has seriously interfered with the duration of growing seasons in countries like Canada and Russia. From the burning of fossil fuels to release of poisonous gases in the atmosphere, variations in climate extremes to rising sea levels, and shrinking extent of Arctic sea ice, the issue of global warming due to human actions has unequivocally impacted the Earth both environmentally and geographically in a way that no one can remain oblivious to it.

Talking about the effective ways by which human beings can make themselves capable of reducing the rising rate of global warming, (Casten, 1998) clearly lays stress on the unambiguous
