The biggest threat to civilization and our planet is global warming. The increase in the temperature of the World’s surface both land and water are called Global Warming. Scientists have proven that increase in the temperature caused by C02 emissions caused many major environmental disasters such as melting of the glaciers, sea level rising, deforestation. C02 emissions weakens the ozone layer, furthermore our demand for more cars and petrol, gasoline is harmful to the earth’s environment. Beside the environmental issues global warming caused many effect on human population and health. In this essay we are going to discuss the effect of global warming on human population and its impact on health. …show more content…

If we do not take an action now, it’s severity is going to increase substantially. It pollutes the air we breathe, the food we eat, our water bodies and lastly it takes a toll on our health. Because of such disasters, distribution and access to food, water and shelter become restricted which causes frustration. We need to start at grassroot level and make people aware about global warming, we should use other alternative sources of energy and natural energy such as solar and wind. We should proactively save water, we forget how fortunate we are. We should encourage and incentivize public transport. From the governments pov. There should be heavy R and D investment in low carbon high efficient modes of transportation and renewable energy. Lastly, we should all aim to leave the earth better than we received
