With the onset of industrialization era the issue of the environment since then has evolved into a concerning issue which forced the world to be a considered a prior issue. No longer are humans living in a world where the environment is serene or stable but much rather becoming unrecognizable and diminishing before our eyes. In early 2007, a report was compiled by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), comprising the work of 2,500 scientists, economists, and policymakers from more than 120 countries, hinted humans the primary cause of global warming since 1950. Humans have ways to cut greenhouse gas emissions and avoid the consequences of global warming, a major climate report concluded. But to change the climate, the transition from fossil fuels like coal and oil needs to occur within decades, according to the final report this year from the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Globally human-made pollutants from combustion, construction, mining, agriculture and warfare are increasingly significant in the air pollution equation. China, United States, Russia, India, Mexico, and Japan are the world leaders in air pollution emissions. Principal stationary pollution sources include chemical plants, coal-fired power plants, oil refineries, petrochemical plants, nuclear waste disposal activity, incinerators, large livestock farms (dairy cows, pigs, poultry, etc.), PVC factories, metals production factories, plastics factories, and other heavy industry. About 400 million metric tons of hazardous wastes are generated each year. The United States alone produces about 250 million metric tons. Americans constitute less than 5% of the world’s population, but produce roughly 25% of the world’s CO2 and generate approximately 30% of world’s waste. Since 2007, China has overtaken the United States as the world’s biggest producer of CO2, while still far behind based on per capita pollution - ranked 78th among the world’s nations.   

On the other hand the EU is outpacing in the pursuit of cutting down on the pollutants is indeed an appreciable stance. The European Union (EU) is taking a lead on track towards meeting and over achieving its 2020 target for reducing greenhouse emissions by 20 percent, according to a report published recently by the European Environment Agency (EEA) ahead of Paris climate talks. The EU is already working towards its 2030 goal of an emissions reduction target of at least 40 percent - the EU’s contribution towards the new global climate change agreement in Paris in December, said the press release. Moreover, latest projections by member states show that the EU is heading for a 24 percent reduction by 2020 with current measures in place, and a 25 percent reduction with additional measures already being planned in member states.

One of the critical ecological problems is the global warming that caused by large emissions of carbon dioxide in atmosphere by cars, airplanes, fabrics all over the world. The considerable number of cars is used by people in all, even in undeveloped countries, industrialized ones characterized by that of fabrics which produce largest amount of exhaust gases and cheap air traffic is available almost everywhere. All those promote global temperature to rise, that eventually leads to catastrophes and disasters over the world. Therefore it as clearly that, every country including its residents is responsible. Trees are considered the lungs of the Earth. They recycle all the polluting carbon in the air and return oxygen back into our atmosphere, creating a stable cycle of carbon in our atmosphere. However, the impeccable rates which trees are being cut down in our forests have grown to ever increasing and alarming rates. Trees that are made way for farming are burnt up releasing deadly amounts of carbon and thus leading to the problem of global warming. The daily lives which humans carry on about every day are also a factor influencing on our environment and global warming. By driving cars that have a thirst for petrol we are releasing carbon dioxide and furthermore impacting on the world’s climate.  It would be unconceivable to force all societies and people on the earth, at the same time, start solving such vital problem. In this case, we have to start from ourselves, for instance, take a public transport instead of drive a car, then if any of us would try to do that, this would reduce greenhouse effect to some extent. Similarly, even a few nations which would be able to decrease carbon dioxide emissions by replacing natural energy sources especially oil by renewable ones such as solar, wind and water power, would be beneficial. Consequently, their attempts could spread these ideas and methods of improving situation with global warming and lead to larger number of people and countries to be involved in this.  It is very difficult for the humans to accept any change from the environment they are born and live in. The man-made creation of Environment has been given a lot of prominence these days. The primary reasons for issues like Global warming Land degradation pollution etc are due to the great dangers faced by everyone as a result of the negligence. Everyone must understand that the ecological balance has to be maintained so that one can stop the destruction being caused to every living and non living thing in the environment. Everyone must make their own efforts to bring down the consumption of petroleum. All the products that have been made with the use of petroleum should be eliminated by identification. The environmental filth has to be brought down significantly by taking appropriate measures. It is important that public awareness must be escalated concerning environmental issues and its proper remedies. It is better that we look for natural solutions like shift to a more fuel efficient vehicle make use of paper bags try to economize by using the car pool or public transport go by walk or use a bicycle recycle things etc. If we are to preserve our world we must take a stance on this issue and take action for what is right, not carrying on the actions that will lead to a desolate, destroyed Earth.
