Short Essay On Greenhouse Effect

The greenhouse effect is a heating occurrence in the Earth’s atmosphere. In which the Earth experiences a temperature increase due to certain gases released in the atmosphere (water vapour, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane).The Greenhouse effect seems to be the main cause of the current global warming trend. This is due to the trapping of heat in the Earth’s atmosphere that’s radiating towards space.

Where do the Greenhouse gases come from?

Quite a crucial component of Greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide (CO2). Most of CO2 comes from fossil fuels (such as coal or gas), and the change in land-cultivation. However, Methane and nitrous oxide, which are also part of the greenhouse gases tend to come from agriculture and waste. In the atmosphere, the different principles of the Greenhouse

Societal response to the issue of sea level rise

A major As greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide are being released into the Earth’s atmosphere heating up the Earth’s surface therefore, causing an expansion in the ocean. Because of this, sea levels rise and then lead to roads and peoples homes being destroyed, by flooding, and massive salt water damage. Even diseases will begin to spread due to the new atmosphere people will be living in.

A major question we need answering is, ‘what can we do about the issue of sea level rise?’, then ‘what are we actually doing about it?’. According to new finds it is possible to slow the ocean levels from rising a lot, by getting rid of so-called ‘short-lived climate pollutants’, which warm the climate (on a timescale of) every few weeks to a decade. This is in combination with several decreases in long lived greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. However, what we are actually doing to stop the crisis of sea level rises in New Zealand, let alone the rest of the world is basically next to nothing.
