What Causes Global Warming - Global Warming Problems - Cause, Effect and Solution

Posted by Rolf Joho on January 1st, 2010 filed in What Causes Global Warming

Global warming problems are a direct result of the burning of fossil fuels for energy; this allows addition warming of the atmosphere compounding the global warming problems. The exhausting of carbon dioxide gases from the consumption of fossil fuels allows more absorption of heat from direct sunlight and stops the escape of heat back into space this causes the air and water to get warmer, resulting in the faster melting of snow and ice that normally reflects the sunlight back into space therefore compound the global warming problem.

Our homes are a major contributor to the global warming problems, every day we drive to work and use electricity in our home; these are the 2 main carbon producers that households contribute to global warming. We are all 100% dependent on energy for everything we do. It is not practical to expect our civilization to voluntarily return to the Stone Age but if we continue using fossil fuels as our only energy returning to the Stone Age will be an unavoidable fact. Like it or not we are already going down that path and it is happening much sooner and faster than anyone ever expected.

Relying on the big energy companies and governments is not a solution, it is called an excuse that all of us have used to avoid the fact we are all guilty of the global warming problems. We all know the reality; governments are incapable of taking a pro-active approach to anything, as a whole, governments are totally useless at setting policies for the future benefit of societies and are in fact the most inefficient spenders of our tax dollar.

Big business is interested in only money and control. How honest is big business and government? Here is an example – in 1950 the cigarette companies and governments became aware that smoking was a major cause of death and nicotine was addictive. They suppressed this information from the public and continued to aggressively marketing smoking. Governments finally started to take action in the mid-1970s by using your tax dollar to advertise the effects of smoking. After the huge amount of pressure applied by the public the government had no choice but to prosecute a cigarette company; this resulted in a conviction in the late 1990s and a huge fine. Looks good right? So all the other cigarette companies threw money into the pot, helped pay off the fine and everyone is happy and business as usual. This is only one example of many regarding the honestly and integrity of big business and governments to us the general public. No need to talk about Banks or Wall Street we all can figure this one out. Big energy companies have known for a long time the long term impacts of carbon dioxide gases. The energy industry is much bigger and by far more powerful than a small cigarette company. Do you really feel comfortable putting your trust in big business and governments?

The basic fact is the major amount of fossil fuel consumption has occurred in the past 70 years and as a direct result there are major changes happening in the environment. To continue doing this for the next 70 years it is easy to understand that the pathway to the Stone Age will be an unstoppable. We can change this, by stopping to accept the excuses that governments and big business give us and start taking independent action to reducing our own carbon footprint.

We already have the solution to alternative pollution free energies for the home all you have to do is make a small effort and choose an alternate energy source. If every home started using an existing alternate energy system there would be a huge decrease in the carbon dioxide gas exhaust into the atmosphere and making the Global Warming Problem much smaller. More detailed information on how global warming has happened and is continued to be allowed to go on as well as alternate solutions that you can take are located at the link in this article.

Danny Fisher has been working in the Oil and Coal Energy Industry for the past 20 years. The majority of his time has been spent overseas in developing countries and has acquired some very unique inside knowledge of how the energy world thinks. He has become concerned at the increase in Fossil Fuel consumption and the lack of motivation by Industry and Governments to explore and implement existing alternative energy. He has researched the alternatives and has found low cost existing home electricity systems that require a small effort to make a home 100% pollution free and no change to current the life style.
