GHG – zagrożenie dla planetą Ziemię

GHG (greenhouse gases) to gazy, które absorbują i emitują promieniowanie żertwowe, powodując podtrzymywanie ciepła w atmosferze Ziemi. bez nich, ziemska climate would be extremely cold. Unfortunately, the increasing levels of GHG in the atmosphere are causing a significant increase in global temperatures, leading to a range of negative impacts on the planet and its inhabitants.

Causes of GHG emissions

The main sources of GHG emissions are human activities such as burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas), deforestation, and agriculture. As the global population and economy grow, so does the demand for energy and resources, leading to increased GHG emissions. Additionally, the production and transportation of goods and services also contribute to GHG emissions.

Effects of GHG emissions

The effects of GHG emissions are widespread and varied. Rising temperatures are melting polar ice caps and glaciers, leading to sea level rise and more frequent and severe heatwaves, droughts, and storms. This, in turn, can have devastating impacts on ecosystems, biodiversity, and human communities. GHG emissions also contribute to air pollution, respiratory illnesses, and other health problems. To mitigate these effects, it is essential to reduce GHG emissions and transition to renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power.
