Scientists believe that the best way to slow global warming is for humans to produce fewer greenhouse gasses. Some say that we must cut the amount of these gasses in the air by two-thirds in order to help the Earth. This would be very difficult. Many nations, such as the United States, depend on oil, gas, and coal to power factories, heat homes, make electricity, and run cars. While these nations are worried about global warming, they also fear that using less of these fuels could hurt their economies.
People can reduce greenhouse gasses in different ways.
Using less electricity for computers, televisions, lights, and other things will help. Whenever possible we can use public transportation, walk, or ride bicycles instead of driving cars. Other ways to help are planting trees to help absorb greenhouse gasses and recycling products to reduce the amount of waste in landfills. Reducing greenhouse gasses will take an effort by everyone, not just our country's leaders. All Rights Reserved.
