Today, Global Warming has become one of the most serious environmental problems encountered by all over the world. Frequent disasters caused by Global Warming, happening in every year are telling us that the human being must pay attention to this problem while we are intently concentrating on developments of national industry and economy. In ‘An Inconvenient Truth’, American ex-vice-president Mr. Al Gore shows several serious natural issues caused by Global Warming with statistical proof. His point of view is to raise awareness of public to let them know how serious the consequences of Global Warming are. Mr.AL Gore wants the governments around the world that contribute to the global warming to take action to slow down the global climatic deterioration by their policies and public education.
To reduce the effects of global warming the governments must play a very important role in coming up with policies to limit the emission of greenhouse gases. As we know, the emission of greenhouse gases is a major cause of the global warming; the policies can be used to restrict the factories’ emission of greenhouse. For instance, in China, there is no limit to emission of greenhouse gases in a lot of companies and factories as they only focus on profits and neglect environment. According to the latest environmental report, China has become a country that emits the most greenhouse gases all over the world. Therefore, the policies are really helpful for China government to monitor their companies or factories on environmental issues. Only with these policies, the effects of global warming could be reduced.
Beside the policies, the public education on global warming is also very important for every government. Though the public education, people can realize what effects of global warming are and how serious it impacts the future of human being. Nowadays, in some developed countries, more and more people have realized their role in protecting environment through their public education on environment. For example, in United States, Japan and some European countries, many people use solar water heater instead of traditional gas or electrical water heater, the energy of cars are no longer petrol and is replace by clean energy like ox hydrogen battery. So the education and public awareness are very helpful for reduce global warming.
As we have known the effects of global warming, the governments around the world should enact more policies or law to protect the environment and raise the public awareness of global warming if we don’t want our children to suffer from climate change.

Yes Dai Yu, government play a very important role in combating Global Warming. With their guidance, campaigns and laws enforced, all the citizens in different countries will have to obey and play in saving earth.
ReplyDeleteStudents should also be taught in schools about the cause and effect of global warming. Employers should also educate their employee about these issues. No one should be left ignorant regarding global warming.
I like that you have done a bit of research into China and the global warming problem. I feel that you could have given more information about what China is doing to combat global warming instead of only what it needs to do. Information about projects like the eco-cities China is building jointly with other countries is very interesting and one of the novel ways it is trying to build a more green country.
ReplyDeleteYes Eric, I agree with you that most of the companies are concerned about their profit rather than environment. Government should check them regularly and charge them for releasing green house gases into the atmosphere
