Up until about a week ago I had no clue really anything about global warming. After researching causes and ways to slow down the global warming process I came to find that greenhouse gas emissions are probably the largest factor of how humans are speeding the process up. Greenhouse gas emissions are harmful gases trapping heat in the atmosphere. Althought there are some naturally occurring gases that will trap heat, most are derived from mankind and our usage of them should be ruduced.
Carbon dioxide that comes fom the burning of oil, coal, and natural gas travels through our uses of transportation and is one of the most harmful to our atmosphere. These fossil fuels contribute to the heating of the air which is causing global warming across the world, leading to polar ice caps melting and more severe weather conditions. I believe it is up to us to help prevent this from happening because in the long run we will be the ones who will suffer the consequences. Our poor actions will lead to even poorer results. The easiest solution would just be to find alternative ways of transporations, such as hybrid or electric vehicles. Taking those actions could help reduce the risk of global warming happening to us faster.
