Greenhouse Effect: Reason, Impact, and Solution – healthytalk8

INTRO

The greenhouse effect is a natural process that occurs to heat the earth’s surface. when the sun’s rays reach the earth’s atmosphere.

Where it is absorbed by earth’s land, ocean’s or plants and some of it goes back into space and the remaining rays cross the earth’s ozone layer and reach earth, which helps give the earth regular temperature.

1. Greenhouse effect

Another short definition, the greenhouse effect is a natural process between the sun and earth when the rays emanating from the sun reach the ozone layer of the earth, some of them get reflected and some are absorbed which maintains a regular temperature of the earth. this whole process is called the greenhouse effect.

greenhouse effect

The earth absorbs heat from the sun during the day, at night it radiates the heat. but the atmosphere reflects some of this heat back to earth.

This keeps the weather warm even at night. and that also keeps our earth warm and cozy at 57 degrees Fahrenheit (14 degrees Celsius), on average. this is called the greenhouse effect, but this is a natural greenhouse effect. 

2. How are humans impacting the Greenhouse effect?

Human activities such as burning fossil fuel like coal, oil, the industrial revolution, land clearing, and excessive gases like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, etc.

It’s increasing the natural greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere due to which the temperature of the earth is increased and are highly damaging the earth. 

This is trapping extract heat, and causing the earth’s temperature to rise.

3. Greenhouse gases

Easy & in short words, greenhouse gases are those gases. which naturally keeps the earth warm and has no negative effect.

But due to humans, natural gases like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, water vapor, etc are entering the atmosphere in huge quantities 

Due to which the natural greenhouse effect is turning into the unnatural greenhouse effect which can cause health hazards in everyone living on earth whether it is plants, rivers, animals, or humans.

4. What is the reason that the Greenhouse effect is increasing in such a huge amount?

The greenhouse effect is caused by the atmospheric accumulation of gases such as carbon dioxide and methane, which contain some of the heat emitted from the earth’s surface.

The atmosphere allows the few ultraviolet rays coming from this sun to pass through and reach the earth’s surface.

We, humans, are the reason behind the increase in the greenhouse effect by burning fossil fuels, coal, oil, the industrial revolution, excessive firecrackers, and crops, we ourselves are increasing the number of natural greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere.

Such as carbon dioxide, monoxide, etc which come naturally comes from the sun’s rays and maintains the temperature of the earth. 

But we humans have increased those gases to such an extent that these gases (which previously controlled the temperature of the earth earlier) are now increasing the health hazards in the earth.

5. How can we reduce the increase in the greenhouse effect?

Burning fossil fuels such as petroleum, gas, oil, coal, and gasoline are leading to increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which contributes to the increase of the greenhouse effect of global warming.

You can reduce the greenhouse effect by not burning fossil fuels, which global warming will automatically reduce. 

There are some tips that can prevent the risk of the greenhouse effect from increasing.

Grow trees

Grow plants that will reduce the level of carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere. a tree absorbs at least 1 ton of carbon dioxide throughout its life.

This will reduce the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and increase the level of oxygen.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Do not use a plastic bag, polythene use paper bags by doing this you are helping to reduce waste.

Put your household plastic waste in the recycling bin and not burn it by doing this, you are reducing the monthly carbon dioxide significantly. 

Use less air conditioner or heater

In today’s time, everyone is using air conditioners whether it is in a car, office, or home which increases the risk of global warming significantly. 

  1. Using less air conditioner by doing this you are not harming the environment.
  2. Turn down your AC while you’re sleeping at night or you can also apply a timer.
  3. Use the quilt in the cold by using the heater to a minimum.

Use less of cars and bikes

Use public transport, by doing this you are reducing the smoke coming out of the exhaust of the car. which has a huge contribution to increasing global warming or the greenhouse effect, because they contain harmful gases like carbon oxide, carbon dioxide, which are very harmful to our environment.

Here is some way to contribute yourself to green earth. include:

  • Avoid air travel as much as possible
  • Put garbage in the dustbin, do not set fire to it.
  • Avoid products with excessive packaging
  • Buy green electricity
  • Do not throw poisonous substances in flowing water. 

BOTTOM LINE

Human activities such as burning fossil fuel like coal, oil, the industrial revolution, land clearing, and excessive gases like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, etc

It’s increasing the natural greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere due to which the temperature of the earth is increased and are highly damaging the earth. 

Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, etc are natural gases but we humans burn fossil fuel, oil, chemical, or other substances increasing the greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere due to which the temperature of the earth is heavily increased.
