Global Warming

Global Warming is occurring due to human activity and the pace at which the processes is adding/cost to the environment. Human development, mining, deforestation, draining marsh and swamp, building concrete cities that reduces water infiltration into the water table, massive cow farming that emit large amount of methane, cars that produce a good portion of carbon dioxide, ocean acidification that reduces carbon dioxide absorption, and melting of glaciers that release high amount of carbon dioxide that were stored in the ice. These activities and processes led to global warming happening at a faster pace than it should have been.

To reduce one's carbon footprint, you can take public transportation when you can to reduce using your own car. Don't turn the heater on high all day, set it low during the day to reduce using too much electricity. Plant a few garden flowers or bushes, pleasant to the eyes and benefit for the animals.
