The world’s climate is changing and the effects will have a great impact on our planet’s ecosystem, biodiversity, and people’s lives. To this day, the average air temperature is already 1.5 degrees than they were at the beginning of 20th century, and a rise of 1 degree in just over 30 years makes a big difference on our ozone. Climate change is a general term for a change in climate of a long time, climate having the long-term weather pattern of a geographical area: temperature and precipitation averages and extremes. When people today talk about climate change they usually refer to the present human-induced climate change caused by burning fossil fuels. Scientist prefer the term climate change instead of global warming because even though

So questions raised, are we brave into thinking that we are intentionally scarring Earth beyond repair? Human influence does change the Earth’s surface but carbon trading is an effective way to reduce pollution which is buying and selling of permits to emit greenhouse gases caused by burning fossil fuels. “Some $60 billion in permits were traded worldwide in 2007, a number expected to grow much larger if the next U.S. administration follows through on pledges to reduce America’s carbon emissions.” (Carbon Trading) What better way to slow down greenhouse pollution than putting a restrictions to industrialized company and that there is a certain quota they can only reach unless they pay for credits if they have to burn more gases than expected. Also, under Kyoto Protocol the energy saving strategy was approved to be carbon credit sources and expect that this would stem into an international agreement designed for global warming. Based on my experience I find that this would be the best way of solving the problem instead of saying “stop driving cars” altogether, or close down factories, because we can’t and it’s already been part of our society to do all that and the only thing we can do about it is to try and slow it down as much as possible instead of thinking on how to entirely prevent it. Plus if people really cared for the environment then it’s up to them to use vehicles less and more of the public transportations. Also, if we close down factories then a lot of people would lose their jobs. So in my opinion, completely removing global warming is a hard task yet doable, but the goal is to prevent it from expanding faster and make it slower. “According to all observers, actually stopping any further global warming from occurring would require a 70% reduction of present emissions, equivalent to abandoning the use
