What Causes Global Warming - Five Reasons to Choose Sustainable Living
Posted by Rolf Joho on March 5th, 2010 filed in What Causes Global Warming
Five Reasons To Choose Sustainable Living
Over the last several years we’ve heard much about how to become environmentally friendly, but sometimes we forget just why we should make all these lifestyle changes. In case the issue has become a little clouded, or if you haven’t really given it much thought, here are five reasons to choose sustainable living.
1. Environmental. Each time we use an energy source – even though it doesn’t seem like much to us – it has an effect on the environment. Our environment is where we – and others – live. So if we ruin where we live the world as we know it today, will not be there for our children and grandchildren to enjoy. By choosing sustainable living, our environment will support us and provide for our needs until the year dot. If we don’t, it won’t. It’s that simple.
2. Health. Even now we see the unhealthy effects that our pollution has created. There is a pall of smog over nearly every city that causes much of the population to suffer from asthma, sinus, hayfever and even cancer or cancer-related illness. When we allow toxic waste to be dumped into our waterways, it ends up in the sea where it is ingested by the very sea creatures that we eat. Poisoning our environment is simply the same as poisoning ourselves.
3. Well-being benefits. There are benefits to looking after the planet that have to do with aspects of our well being other than our immediate health. If climate change is going to cause the sea level to rise, then those of us with homes near the coast will be affected. Whole cities could go under water. Changing climate may extend tropical disease zones, increasing the incidence of malaria and similar diseases. The resulting severe storms may very well smash our homes to the ground.
4. Climate change. While climate change has always been with us to some extent – otherwise we would still be in the ice age – it seems to be escalating and will soon cause a whole host of problems that are impossible to fix. By decreasing our use of non-renewable energy, we can play an important part in halting or even reversing this change.
5. Global warming. Global warming is on the increase, but it only takes a minute amount of global warming to affect the climate. Global warming is caused by the increase of certain gases in the atmosphere and leads to more rapid climate change that can be dangerous to human life.

So basically, choosing sustainable living will not only save the earth’s resources for future generations, but also make sure those who are on the planet now have better quality of life across every nation.

Global Warming: Causes, Effects, and the FuturePlanet Earth is warming faster now than at any other time in the past 1,000 years, and global warming may be the greatest threat to ever face humanity. Counteracting it is our greatest challenge.
Mark Maslin explains what global warming is and presents incontrovertible evidence that it is really happening. He examines the impact that climate change will have on health, agriculture, water resources, coastal regions, forests, and wildlife. He also looks at the efforts being made to counteract the effects of global warming and the ways in which we can adapt.
The Really Inconvenient Truths: Seven Environmental Catastrophes Liberals Don't Want You to Know About--Because They Helped Cause ThemIain Murray's rollicking exposé reveals how environmental blowhards waste more energy, endanger more species, and actually kill more people than the environmental villains they finger.
Time: Global Warming: The Causes, the Perils, the Politics - and What It Means for YouPlanet Earth is heating up, and so is the debate over why our climate is changing and what it means for the future of our energy sources, of our cities, of our children. Now "Time" explores the science of global warming in an illuminating, beautifully illustrated book that ranges from polar ice caps to equatorial rainforests. Here are the scientists who are working to measure and counter the warming trend; here are the world's most endangered habitats and creatures; here are various scenarios for the future. Separating truth from fantasy, "Time" brings a cool eye to today's hottest issue.
Global Warming False Alarm: The Bad Science Behind the United Nations' Assertion that Man-made CO2 Causes Global WarmingHave you ever wondered why so many people believe recent climate change is almost entirely the result of human activity, even when there's plenty of evidence to the contrary? It's because the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says so.
This compact, readable book pulls apart the flawed science behind the IPCC's assertion that man-made CO2 is causing global warming. Author Ralph Alexander exposes the IPCC's deceptive manipulation of climate data, the roadblocks for the CO2 hypothesis favored by climate change alarmists, and the failed predictions of computer climate models.
Dr. Alexander goes on to examine the consequences of the erroneous, but widespread belief that CO2 emissions need to be drastically curbed for the health of the planet. His analysis shows the folly of carbon trading schemes for regulating CO2, together with common illusions about renewable energy sources. The enormous economic cost of cap-and-trade systems squanders our resources on a problem that doesn't even exist.
The book was awarded an eLit Gold Medal in March 2011, in the Environment/Ecology/Nature category, for books written in English and published electronically for the global marketplace.
