The Urgent Response to Climate Change and Global Warming
Over the years, human activities have contributed to the rise of global warming effects and climate change. The disasters and damages caused by global warming affect the whole world at large. For example, the Australian wildfires witnessed at the beginning of the year have caused the loss of life, property, and also the government lost billions of dollars in sustaining the problem. The world has witnessed the disastrous effects of global warming over the years, and different countries have formulated urgent ideas which aim is to provide a sustainable environment. This study is an analysis of the current response on the matters of global warming and climate change.
Global Response to Green Recovery
Anderson on TED (2020) implies that at the beginning of the year, people were concerned about the future of global warming effects and climate change. Currently, people are reacting in responsive ways meant to conserve the environment. Unlike the coronavirus pandemic, which has impacted the economy of many countries negatively, the response intends to provide a sustainable environment that has had a positive effect. For example, the united states government has created platforms and job opportunities to its citizens through the massive installation of clean, eco-friendly energies all over the country. It Gore, a climate advocate in TED 2020, indicates that “Oxford Review of economics” recently stated that the growth of job opportunities around the world is evident by creating and installing clean energies to counter the use of fossil fuels. Therefore, nations have realized that the process of green recovery is not just a course, but also it has created a platform where citizens can get jobs and earn a living.
According to TED 2020 talk Ai Gore argues that the cost of electric and other renewable energies continues to decline globally due to high competition. It has also been reviewed that five years ago, the cost of solar and wind power compared to fossil energy was cheaper by 1% of the world, while currently, it is cheaper by 2/3 of the world. Statistics show that five years from now it will be less expensive in 100% of the world. It indicates that the world is quickly adapting and responding to the need for green recovery.
Some countries have initiated policies that will stop importing and manufacture of engines that emit gasses from fossil fuels. For example, in India, it will be illegal to use vehicles with combustion engines. The main idea is to achieve zero emission of carbon dioxide by the year 2050. Therefore, it means that every country has set its policies that will guide them in attaining green recovery. The introduction of hydrogen driven vehicles is a first step in ensuring that future inventions will reduce the global warming effects. New farming techniques have been introduced to reduce the cost of carbon dioxide emitted by greenhouses and also to minimize carbon dioxide in the soil. Eco-friendly farming methods that minimize the trapping of carbon dioxide in greenhouses have been formulated.
Conclusion
The currents trend in reducing carbon dioxide emission is an indication that nations have come together to create a sustainable environment by reducing global warming. Several countries have faced adverse effects in terms of storm fires, famine, and loss of properties over the years. The first step is minimizing the use of fossil fuels as a source of energy by subsidizing with clean electricity. Governments are supporting engineers and scientists to come up with inventions that will provide a safe environment for the coming generations. It is now evident that there are quick responses in ensuring green recovery processes around the world.
