Global Warming

Research Paper Global warming is no longer a myth and as consumers of resources, the world has to change and conserve their energy usage. There are many things one can do, but informing others how to take these dire steps our world needs in order to survive and support humankind. With CO2 making up over 70 percent of our atmosphere, we need to focus not only on how to slow down its growth, but removal of it s existence from the atmosphere to the right level of equilibrium for cleaner healthier air. Many Americans have adopted a method of saving energy and consuming less resources, but this is not enough; we need to configure how to collect and store some of the excess energy and change it to a useable renewable energy source. The media needs to stop believing that there is a pause in the climbing ambient temperature because it causing a chain reaction with livestock that also has a domino effect on the world 's food supply. With the effects of global warming on the rise, researchers have been always informing the public about how detrimental carbon dioxide, C02, is and how we need to cut back on its usage. Americans have cleaned up their act and resource consumption and even Bakersfield has taken up a role as well with the new cleaner energy efficient GET buses and solar panels located above the parking lot at Bakersfield College; but what if there is another emission we 've been forgetting? Carbon Dioxide is rampant in our atmosphere but there 's another equally destructive gas out there: Methane. Now, most of the efforts that deal with the effects of global warming have focused solely on Carbon Dioxide, but what if the world cut back on methane? The effects would be dramatic and occur and reduce our carbon footprint at a much faster rate than its currently going. America needs to understand that of all the green house gases out there, methane and soot are two of the most potent. Once those two are reduced as well as carbon
