Global Warming Script

Global warming is occurring due to increased greenhouse gases trapping heat in the atmosphere from human activities like burning fossil fuels. This is causing rising sea levels, more extreme weather, and wildlife impacts. While transportation, electricity production, and industry are major contributors to greenhouse gases, solutions exist like renewable energy, energy efficiency, sustainable transportation, green infrastructure and lifestyles. Concerted global action is needed to transition away from fossil fuels and curb the worst effects of climate change.

Good news - there are ways to reduce global warming. But


how to react to climate change? What solutions to consider?

1. Renewable energies

The first way to prevent climate change is to move away from


fossil fuels. Renewable energies like solar, wind, biomass and
geothermal.

2. Energy & water efficiency

Producing clean energy is essential, but reducing our


consumption of energy and water by using more efficient
devices (e.g. LED light bulbs, innovative shower systems) is
less costly and equally important.

3. Sustainable transportation

Promoting public transportation, carpooling, but also electric


and hydrogen mobility, can definitely help reduce CO2
emissions and thus fight global warming.
