Warming Up: Alternative Energy Source

Facts:
The total atmospheric temperature by 1 ° C increase since 1900.
The total temperature by 1 ° C in the last 100 years has increased considerably.
There is an increase of 31% of CO2 in the 200 years and is estimated to be 300% by 2050.
United States alone contributes about 25% of carbon emissions in the world.
The sea level has risen by 10-15 cm.
As we can see from the above facts, the atmosphere of our earth green dramatically changing due to global warming. Increase of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has led to enhanced greenhouse effect and therefore the temperature of the planet. Polar ice caps melting at an alarming rate and raising sea levels. The results are disastrous. The climate has become more extreme and more powerful hurricanes in intensity and duration.

What is the cause of all this?
The main reason for the increase in CO2 is the result of massive industrialization. All industries use fossil fuels such as coal or oil to generate electricity and has a huge amount of CO2 and other gases. Another important cause is the emission of vehicles that run on gas. The increase in energy consumption in households and offices, the use of fossil fuels to meet growing demand forced.

What are the solutions?
Scientists are always looking for ways to reduce pollution and alternative sources of renewable energy or green. One of the best sources of hydroelectric power, which is a form of solar power innovation. Energy is another option, but it is expensive and very dangerous. 25 years ago scientists said that they control the fusion reaction. 25 years later they say the same thing. They are a stable state other sources such as solar energy is very limited reach due to lack of enough solar panels to produce electricity. Wind energy is used on a large scale, but still contribute 5% of total electricity generation.

What you can do to stop global warming?
Energy saving as much as you can. You can save as much oil as you. If your home or office, saving as much power as you can. Next time, buy a car, think if electric alternatives. Many of these hazards can be removed if we work individually on the maintenance of a pollution-free environment. If you go for solar or wind energy. With new technology you can now make solar-powered house for less than $ 200. For less than $ 100 of your own windmill. This green and renewable energy sources not only reduce your electricity bill significantly, but also lower the tax on fossil fuel powered power stations, thus contributing to reducing CO2 in the atmosphere. Your small steps today assured that your children in the same beautiful green world we live in
