Day 10: Problem Solution (Rough Draft)

Hell on earth

-Through out the years of human history man has evolved to make things easier for them to live in luxury. Different source of powers have been found in time to get to where we are today. But the advancements of today’s technologies are a double edge sword. For us to live in an easy life we are destroying our own world. The earth’s atmosphere that is keeping us safe from the sun from over heating us. The "Greenhouse Effect” is an evidence of this growing problem. Natural events in the world maybe also be causing this event to occur, volcanoes are one of those contributions. But the amount of contributions by human out does the volcanoes over 100 times. The world may come to an end but that doesn’t give them right to throw it in our faces whenever they feel like it.

--The “Greenhouse Effect” is the real evidence of the earth’s rise of temperature over the centuries. According to an article in Hatten’s web link Greenhouse Effect Scientific evidence: “The temperature data for 1998 were staggering. Data collected by NOAA (United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) indicated that 1998 was by far the warmest year up to that year. Global mean surface temperature in 1998 was 0.66°C (1.20°F) above the long-term (1880-1997) average value of 13.8°C (56.9°F)”. People all over the world have acknowledged this data and theory. And some have already taken action to stop this event. But just have the idea, or the experiment is easier then done. The article later states: “However, climatic events, unprecedented in the human experience, have been occurring in recent times and the direct cause-effect link may not be evident before it is too late. So, in the face of uncertainty, do we hesitate to act? Or in the face of uncertainty, in light of the potential outcomes, do we act?” So we’ve still have more research to make to take full action.
Some contributing factors the “Greenhouse Effect” are by nature itself. Natural events like volcanic eruptions cause CO2 to be thrown into the atmosphere. In the article Influence on the Greenhouse Effect in the links by Hatten: “Volcanic eruptions can enhance global warming by adding CO2 to the atmosphere. However, a far greater amount of CO2 is contributed to the atmosphere by human activities each year than by volcanic eruptions. Volcanoes contribute about 110 million tons/year…”. This may seem like very large amount of contributions by nature but the article quickly reacts to the statement with: “…whereas human sources contribute about 10 billion tons/year”. Humans are the practically the main cause of the greenhouse effect because of the use of vehicles which the product of CO2 is released into the atmosphere.

---People who are involved with the “Greenhouse Effect” don’t ever shut up because some one always has their mouths open about the situation and annoy the rest of us normal people. The "Greenhouse Effect" is the primary evidence of the earth’s temperature rising over the past centuries. Natural events such as volcanic eruptions are a contributing factor and human activities are the primary contribution. For this problem to be solve we must find a way to either balance the out weighted gases in the air by giving it a counter act. Such as to produce more O2 and the other gases to make it even. Such as to make a vehicle that runs on some things else and produce something not harmful to the atmosphere. But of course it is only an idea which is easier said then done. There may not ever be solution to the problem, but it is always better to have a dream to hold on to and keep trying rather then giving up before even trying.
