Increasing the amount of greenhouse gas emissions leads to global warming. Global warming is the rise in average temperatures across the earth's surface due to large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions making solar thermal energy trapped in the atmosphere. The earth becomes hotter than before
The biggest producer of this global warming is the industrialized countries. Global warming can occur due to consumption patterns and lifestyles of society. Although their contribution to global warming is not as high as the industrialized countries, developing countries are also contributing to carbon dioxide with the rise of mining industries and companies.
Another cause is pollution, either directly or indirectly. Various pollution (land, water, air, and space) occurs due to human activities, among others:
- Forest fire due to opening new land.
- Water pollution due to piles of garbage, industrial waste, nuclear waste deposited on the ocean floor, offshore drilling, ship accidents, hazardous metals from declining ship shells, washing and discharging tankers, sewers, household waste, Septic tank, leaking underground oil storage.
- Motor vehicles emit carbon monoxide, nitrogenoxide, sulfur dioxide, and hydrocarbon gas, accounting for 1/3 of the total air pollutant gas.
