    There Is Nothing That We As Individuals Can Do To Prevent Climate Change

    Climate change is caused by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane that are released into the atmosphere from human activities like burning fossil fuels for transportation, electricity, and industry. While individual actions can help reduce emissions, combating climate change requires a global effort since most people contribute to the activities that cause climate change in some way. Everyone needs to commit to reducing deforestation, transitioning to renewable energies, and changing lifestyles if meaningful progress is to be made in averting the worst effects of global warming.

    There is nothing that we as individuals can do to prevent climate

    change
    The phenomenon that describes rise of the average temperature is called
    climate change or global warming. The causes of this event are related with the
    greenhouse effect, which is cause for greenhouse gases (between them are
    Carbon Dioxide, methane and nitrous dioxide, most of them are produced by
    burning fossil fuels). The process of this effect is the thermal radiation from the
    planetary surface is absorbed by the greenhouse gases, and is returned to the
    earth surface again causing a rise in temperature.
    In my opinion, all habitants of the earth need to take actions to revert the
    global warming. The main reason of this, is the perceptual distribution of
    carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels; the combustion of liquid fuels as
    gasoline, jet fuel, etc. used overall in transport, reach 36% of the emissions;
    burning solid fuels as coal in thermal plants reach 35%; and burning gaseous
    fuel as methane, propane and natural gas in thermal plants, houses and
    industry reach 20%. Most of the people in the planet are involve with the
    activities mentioned before, then if only a few people try to make a change in
    their lifestyle is not going to be a substantial reduce in the carbon dioxide
    emissions.
    Other reason that needs the commitment of everyone is to stop deforestation,
    because is the action of the plants and trees who makes possible to reduce the
    concentration of greenhouse gases. Then, if only one person stop to cut down
    trees, the difference would be minimum compared with a worldwide
    commitment.
    Finally, one thing has to be mentioned, support political tendencies related with
    new kinds of renewable energies is one thing that we could do as individuals
    for make a real change, other actions can lead by example but do not make a
    big difference in the actual situation.
