Running Head: CLIMATE CHANGE
Global warming is catastrophic once no action is taken to counteract that as in the case of Alaska. Alaska State is the largest in the United States of America having 20% of the United States. This state also has a wide range of ecological and climatic conditions which include glaciers, tundra, rainforests, meadows, and boreal forest. The warming in Alaska has increased over the last 60 years more than twice of the warming in the United States as warming in winter has increased with an average of six degrees Celsius and has resulted in several changes in the climate led the breakup of the river ice. The effects of global warming witnessed in this State has drawn the attention of the United States and the whole world at large as far as the lives of the people who live there are concerned since the State has 229 tribes. Innovation solutions are needed to be provided to ensure that the lives of the people living there are taken care of. One of the innovative solutions which should be undertaken in Alaska is ensuring that the greenspace has been …show more content…
Energy efficiency should be boosted since most of the energy is used to heat, power and cool our businesses and industries which contribute largely to global warming. Using this energy efficiently in technology will allow less energy and increase the level of production (F?ssel, 2007 pp 274 - 275). Use of fossil fuel and especially the carbon-intensive coal can tackle the climate change. Lastly, awareness should be created to the people living in Alaska for the risks which come as a result of global warming and the times that t is in the extreme so as to take safety measures. Reduction of emission of poisonous gasses to the atmosphere should be checked and the gasses treated before they are discharged to the atmosphere ensure that ozone layer is not
