CLIMATE CHANGE

COMP04 EE

CASE STUDY 4

Prominent book authors said that technology is the biggest contributor to climate change, in you capacity as an IT student, how would you address this global problem? Enumerate steps and actions to be taken.



Some gasses contribute green house effect that lead to climate change,
certain gases in the atmosphere behave like the glass on a greenhouse, allowing sunlight to enter, but blocking heat from escaping. Long-lived gases, remaining semi-permanently in the atmosphere, which it cause the air to turned hot, most expert study all about gasses that add and causes green house effect and according to some research this gasses are the following causing it.

Water vapor. The most abundant greenhouse gas, but importantly, it acts as a feedback to the climate. Water vapor increases as the Earth's atmosphere warms, but so does the possibility of clouds and precipitation, making these some of the most important feedback mechanisms to the greenhouse effect.
Carbon dioxide (CO2). A minor but very important component of the atmosphere, carbon dioxide is released through natural processes such as respiration and volcano eruptions and through human activities such as deforestation, land use changes, and burning fossil fuels. Humans have increased atmospheric CO2 concentration by a third since the Industrial Revolution began. This is the most important long-lived "forcing" of climate change.
Methane. A hydrocarbon gas produced both through natural sources and human activities, including the decomposition of wastes in landfills, agriculture, and especially rice cultivation, as well as ruminant digestion and manure management associated with domestic livestock. On a molecule-for-molecule basis, methane is a far more active greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, but also one which is much less abundant in the atmosphere.
Nitrous oxide. A powerful greenhouse gas produced by soil cultivation practices, especially the use of commercial and organic fertilizers, fossil fuel combustion, nitric acid production, and biomass burning.


Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Synthetic compounds of entirely of industrial origin used in a number of applications, but now largely regulated in production and release to the atmosphere by international agreement for their ability to contribute to destruction of the ozone layer. They are also greenhouse gases.


Because also of burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil, it increased the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide, it also destroy the ozone layer, This happens because the coal or oil burning process combines carbon with oxygen in the air to make carbon dioxide. to a lesser extent, illegal logging also and putting industry, and other human activities have increased concentrations of greenhouse gases, the big factory blows big black smoke that goes directly to the ozone layer and some are passing human being and making them sick.


Steps on how to Prevent Global Warming

1. Plant trees in mountains or in you house to help our air to be cleaned

2. Don’t use any motor vehicle if u just only goes to in a near place to stop
adding black smoke that destroys the ozone layer.

3. Don’t throw any where your chemicals like water of the battery so it
Win mixed with the water that kill some trees

4. Instead of throwing plastic, keep it and use for another purposes to stop
flooding.

5. Avoid burning plastic, coils and oils because it destroy ozone layer and
It also causes damage to your health if I smell it.
