Reasons For Increasing Pollution And Climate Change
- Power Generation: Electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, or gas, which produces carbon dioxide and other harmful gas emissions that increase the pollution level of the air.
- Industrial Operations: Manufacturing and other industries release gasses and other pollutants into the atmosphere. The increased pollution level causes depletion of the ozone layer that covers the earth and traps the heat from the sun. This results in an overall temperature rise on earth.
- Deforestation: Cutting down forests to release lands for development reduces the scope of dealing with environmental pollution and increases heat absorption by the earth’s surface.
- Transportation: Transportation significantly contributes to greenhouse gases because it runs on fossil fuels and produces toxic gas emissions.
Electricity: Extensive use of electricity in running various equipment, gadgets and appliances release a lot of heat into the atmosphere, increasing temperature.
Climate Emergency In The View of The Renewable Revolution
The world today is facing rapid climate change leading to droughts, floods, and high temperatures threatening the existence of various species and biodiversity across the world. It becomes extremely difficult to manage the cascading impact of this climate change. It affects the lives of humans and other living creatures and the natural growth of plants and crops. Environmental pollution is the main reason behind this situation, which is caused by burning fossil fuels for energy production. As the world is facing climate chaos, it becomes necessary to implement the process of energy production through alternative resources that can replace fossil fuels. Modern technology allows it to utilize various natural resources like sunlight, wind, water, etc., to produce energy. The energy sources we use today are primarily from non-renewable sources like fossil fuels which are quickly depleting. These energy resources are not exhaustible or renewable. Renewable energy is the only solution to reduce the use of fossil fuels that would eventually help to address the harmful effect of pollution and improve climatic conditions.
